I flopped back on my bed. Kristal and I had just arrived at my house, brought our bags to my room, and now needed to decide what to do. I turned my head to look at her. She had sat down semi-elegantly on the edge of my bed. Ok, scratch that. She had flopped down too.

"What now?" I asked, scrunching my mouth to one side. "If we are going to stalk Trevin...Well, I think that'd be better to do tomorrow...give us more time to prepare." I grinned and raised my eyebrow. Kristal let out a giggle.

"Yeah, tomorrow would be better. That way we'd be less likely to catch him on his way home from school or something..." Kristal stretched and leaned back.

"How about for now we go play games on my computer or something." I suggested. Just then the idea popped into my head and I smacked myself in my forehead. "Dang! I should have gotten Trevin's email!" I laughed and Kristal let out a disappointed noise.

"Aw...That means there is no way we can talk to him...Unless..." She looked at me, and I could see her smile getting larger.

"Unless what?" I asked, excitedly.

"…Unless we can find him on Facebook." Her evil grin appeared and the realization flashed across my face.

"That's it! We can find him on Facebook!" I leapt up off my head in my excitement and moved towards my door. "Come on!" I couldn't wait. Kristal got up and we both ran out of my bedroom, down the hall, down the stairs, and into my living room where the computer was waiting. I practically pounced on it, opening up a web browser and logging into Facebook.

"Mission 'find Trevin' set and go!" Kristal exclaimed, pulling a chair over.

"Did he mention his last name?" I asked, turning to her. She shook her head, biting her lip. I sighed. "We'll just have to see if anyone we know has him on theirs. I'll search him and look for a Trevin with mutual friends." I clicked in the search box and typed in his name, pressing enter eagerly. The page loaded and I saw his picture before anything else. Beside it was the name 'Trevin Gregory Clarkson'. "So that's his name..." I mumbled. Below it was a link to five mutual friends, all girls and guys that I didn't talk too much. I nodded thoughtfully and clicked on Trevin's name, opening up his Facebook page. All he had opened to the public was a few facts about him.

"Looky, Looky!" Kristal suddenly said, pointing at where it listed his birthday. I looked, and read it aloud.

"October thirteen, nineteen-ninety-four." I thought for a moment to figure out what age that would make him. "That means he's...fifteen, but turning sixteen this year." I smiled thinking about how awesome it would be to be invited to his birthday party, if he had one, when another sudden realization came over me. A lot of sudden realizations were coming over me today, huh. Anyway, my realization was that... "Kristal! His Birthday is in a week from now! Today is October six!" I turned to her, my mouth wide open in shock. Kristal squealed.

"Maybe he'll invite you to a party or something!" She grabbed me shoulders and looked at me with super excited eyes. I squealed back and got all jumpy and excited.

"But, I only just met him...Wouldn't it be awkward if I bought him a gift and he invited me and all when I barely know him?" My smile went away and I looked at my best friend with a worried look.

"Oh, don't worry." She made a motion with her hand like she was waving something away. "A week is plenty enough time to get to know someone." I had to agree.

"Yeah, I guess..." I mumbled. I turned back to the computer and clicked the 'Add as Friend' button on the top of the page, and hoped he would accept it soon. In the meantime, Kristal and I decided to play some games online.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After about a half hour of playing and doing random things on the internet, Kristal suggested we go check back on Facebook. Without hesitation, I opened Facebook again and logged in.

"He accepted it!" Kristal squealed. I grinned and went to his page. This time I could see his wall, photos, and more information about him. "Check if he's on the chat!" Kristal pointed to the corner of the screen. I nodded and checked who was online, grinning; and, just as we hoped, I saw Trevin's name near the middle of the list, a little green 'online' circle beside it. "Say Hi, Say hi!" Kristal was almost jumping out of her seat.

"Okay, Okay! Calm down!" I laughed and clicked his name, a bit nervous. "What should i say? Should I just say hi? What if he doesn't answer?!" I looked at Kristal helplessly. She rolled her eyes.

"Just try what you can." And so I did. I started with a simple Hello.

Mary-Alisha: Heyy
Trevin: Hey

"HE ANSWER OH MY GOD I'M TALKING TO HIM." I couldn't help but let out. Kristal burst out laughing and I quickly went back to my conversation, getting excited.

Mary-Alisha: What's up?
Trevin: nm. U?
Mary-Alisha: nm. ^^
Trevin: lol cool

I turned to Kristal and grinned. I could feel my face turning red, but I didn't care. "What should I say now?" I couldn't think of anything else. Kristal grinned an evil grinned, and I widened my eyes. "What are you planning?" I asked.

"Oh nothing..." Kristal said suspiciously before reaching over and typing something on the keyboard.

Mary-Alisha: hey wanna hang out this weekend or something?

"KRISTAL! What are you doing?!" I glared at her, getting panicky.

"I'm helping you." She said, sticking her tongue out at me. I rolled my eyes, turning back to the computer.

Trevin: sure, y not?
Mary-Alisha: Well, only if you want...
Trevin: No rlly, it wud b fun.
Mary-Alisha: well ok...but when?
Trevin: MayB we could go 2 that park near where we bumped 2moro?

I could hear Kristal giggling behind me and tried to ignore her, even though i was trying not to giggle myself. I knew exactly where Trevin was talking about. I went there often.

Mary-Alisha: ok :] how about around 3?
Trevin: ok. im cool with that.
Mary-Alisha: ok cool. and can i bring Kristal too. shes with me.
Trevin: sure! the more the merrier
Mary-Alisha: ok! cool. lol ^-^
Trevin:
Well i gtg now
Nice talking 2 u.
bye
Mary-Alisha: you too c:
Bye

I turned to Kristal. "Oh my god I get to hang out with Trevin tomorrow. Oh my god I just talked to Trevin. OH. MY. GOD. HE SAID 'Nice talking to you.'" I couldn't contain myself, I was too happy. Kristal was getting super happy too. "Come on, let's go up to my room and do something." I smiled huge and laughed, Logging off of Facebook. Kristal nodded her head in agreement and we both headed back to my room, me being as happy as I may ever get.

After we reached my room and had the door closed, I turned and flopped face first onto my bed, and let out a high-pitch, very loud, excited squeal. I flipped over onto my back and looked at Kristal. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU!" I couldn't thank her enough. It's thanks to her evil plans that i was going to be hanging out with Trevin tomorrow. She grinned.

"Anytime, Rya. Anytime." She winked and we both started laughing. "I can't wait for tomorrow. Maybe this weekend will be more fun than we expected. And meeting with Trevin helps out stalking plan even more, because it gives us a chance to see which house belongs to Trevin, whether it be by us following him home secretly, or him inviting us to his house...Which isn't so likely to happen." She put a finger to her mouth thoughtfully, crossing her other arm across her torso to grab her elbow. I nodded in my agreement to her suggestion.

"Great idea. We can be like, pro stalkers soon enough." I'd always wanted to be a pro stalker. This was my perfect chance. No, actually, pro stalker was low on my list of things I want to be. It's still fun though.

"Yay!" Kristal jumped onto my bed next to me and we both laughed. Being a stalker would never be fun without someone like Kristal tagging beside you. I was lucky to have her as my best friend. And I was lucky I would have her by my side tomorrow when I met up with Trevin. I couldn't wait.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I lay in my bed, staring at Kristal. She was staring back. We were having a staring contest, and even though my eyes were burning, I was winning. I always lost staring contests, and I was determined to win this time. Just then, Kristal blinked. "YES!" I shouted, jumping up and throwing my hands in the air. "VICTORY IS MINE!" I ran around in small circles while Kristal laughed.

We were in my room, and it was late. We were both so excited for tomorrow; we couldn't sleep, so we just continued to do random things. Truth or Dare wasn't really fun for us because we could never think of dares and both already knew everything about each other, so that was out of the question, leaving us with not so many sleepover things to do. I was just hoping we would get tired soon.

"So what now?" Kristal asked after she had finally stopped laughing and i was sitting on my bed again. "We've already done all the basic stuff and I can't think of anything else fun to do." She hunched over and stared at the floor, thinking, and I stared at the ceiling, as if my floor and ceiling were going to give us the answers to everything.

"My sleepovers are boring. We need sleepover classes or something," I moaned and fell back on my bed, letting out a giggle. I looked over at Kristal and stuck my tongue out. "And going to your place for a sleepover wouldn't make it any more fun." She stuck her tongue out at me in response and we both laughed. "Wanna listen to music or something?" I asked, sitting up again. Kristal shrugged and nodded, so I got up and walked over to my speakers in the corner of my room and plugged my iPod in, scrolling down and starting Never Say Never by The Fray, my favorite band. Behind me, I heard Kristal make a moaning sound and I turned around and grinned.

"Seriously? The Fray again?" She looked at me desperately and I sighed. I kept making her listen to all my favorite songs, mostly all by this same band, and she was starting to get fed up.

"Ok, how about this? When it's done, you can choose the next song if you don't like it. I just want to listen to The Fray a bit before I go to bed tonight...If I ever do." I gave her a pleading look while I was talking and laughed a bit after I finished. She sighed, said "fine." and laughed with me.

"We may never sleep again." She smiled what I called her cat-faced smile and i gave her a thumbs-up.

Soon enough the song ended and a Japanese song started, which Kristal decided she liked. I got up and started dancing to it, both of us laughing. I was starting to feel a bit tired at this point and looked over at Kristal for any sign that she was tired too. I noticed she kept yawning, and I knew we were going to crash soon.

After about an hour of listening to music, random conversations, and spontaneous dancing, we finally decided we'd had enough for the night. It was around 2:30am, and I could barely keep my eyes open, no matter how many butterflies flittered around like crazy in the pit of my stomach. The beds were already all made up and ready, so we could just lie down and sleep.

"Good night, my dearest daughter," I said to Kristal in a goofy yet sleepy tone.

"Good night, my dearest Mother," She responded in the same tone, a smile coming to her mouth. It was a joke we had, where we had decided she was my daughter along with a few others of my friends, and I was her mother. We acted a lot like it was real all the time. Always in a joking manner, of course.

I closed my eyes and it was like the sleep washed over me. Before I knew it, I was standing in a dark alleyway. I could barely see anything. I turned around and glanced nervously all around me. Crash. I heard a noise beside me and jumped. It sounded like someone was there. I couldn't see though. This wasn't good. I started running towards where I thought was the end of the alley. I could see light. Lots of it. It was getting brighter the more I ran. Suddenly, I was in a wide open field. Looking down, I spotted small blue and purple flowers everywhere. They sparkled softly in the sunlight and swayed in the light breeze. I reached down to pick one, and when I got back up, I saw a face I would recognize anywhere. It was Trevin's face.

"H-Hi..." I stammered, gazing deeply into his eyes. But they weren't brown anymore. They were blue. An icy, soul piercing, light blue. It was scary looking and I could feel the confusion gathering on my face, along with a frightened look.

"Hey," He said. His voice was so smooth and he seemed so cool and easy-going. He stepped towards me and took my hand in his, pulling it up and kissing it softly. My face was burning red, I could feel it. Trevin looked back up and his gaze locked with mine. "How's it going?" He asked, and pulled me closer to him, His arms wrapped around me tightly in a hug, and I just about died. I could feel my whole body burning now, and I was afraid I would melt on the spot. Trevin let go and looked down at my feet strangely. I looked down too and screamed. I was melting! My feet had almost dissolved completely into a strangely colored puddle.

"Help me!" I screamed, looking up at Trevin. But he was no longer standing in front of me. He was a ways off, holding another girl's hand. I couldn't see her face, but she had long blonde, wavy hair. He leaned over and kissed her cheek, then glanced back at me with a smirk, turning back forward, laughing, and running off hand in hand with the blonde girl. I broke down in tears suddenly, but it just made me melt faster. I looked down again, and through my blurry, tear-filled eyes, I could see I had melted all the way to my waist. "No!" I cried, but no one was listening. I was all alone, and Trevin didn't care about me. No one did. I was almost gone, and no one was going to save me. I couldn't do anything but cry.
