Sign Off

I spent the next morning in bed until twelve, wallowing in sadness. I couldn’t believe it. Why, why does he have to move?? And at the worst timing possible?!?! I thought.

Thinking that I’d probably spent enough time moping, I climbed out of bed and signed in to AIM . I had to ask Andy when he was leaving. I didn’t even know that!

He was on, but so was Blake. Uh-oh. I so did not want to talk to him. But it was too late.

Blizzake: uh, hey judi
I couldn’t talk to him. I blocked him immediately and IMed Andy.

Dreaming: hi andy
NotUR/averageguy: uh, hi
Dreaming: uh…so u never did tell me when ur movin
NotUR/averageguy: oh
NotUR/averageguy: in a month

NotUR/averageguy has signed off at 1:04 PM

I stared at the computer screen in awe. Why did he sign off so abruptly?
