Chapter 4 - Love at First Chat

My father is married with three other children and barely spends time with me, not that I care, it's just so annoying to go there and have that woman stare at me and she is so unfair. This one time she went shopping and made as if she forgot to buy me chocolate since she bought for her kids, I don't care nor do I want it, it's just that don't pretend you like me that's it.

My father is for one always comparing his other kids to me asking them why don't they get good grades like me which makes them not like me but so what? It's not like I like them either.

As you can tell, I have a lot of issues and writing is a way of me expressing my emotions even though I express myself on a daily basis. I don't hold anything back because I have nothing to lose. This is also what some don't understand. My attitude doesn't match my disposition.

My father lectures me most of the time and I guess it's his way of showing his love. The one time he asked me do I like someone, making sure I was gay after I told him, I laughed it off because what can I say, I'm interested in someone who has a girlfriend and he barely looks my way.

Uploading two more chapters, I rest my head down on the pillow while I summarised the work I went over making a mental note, as I did this, I slowly drifted off to sleep.

Waking up later I felt horrible. I don't remember when I fell asleep and I can't remember the dream I just had. Sitting up on my bed I rubbed my burning eyes and sigh. My phone and laptops lights were flashing.

I moved over to my desk with the laptop and switched it on. Grabbing my phone the battery was flat and so was the laptops. Charging them both I answered all my messages and watched a few Youtube videos.

Because I felt slightly bored I picked up my phone and logged into Discord. Before, I didn't answer the discord messages because there's too many and now I can because I'm bored... evil, yes I know.

My readers really have different opinions about Tales of Lore and Lies and I guess it's good, I too am learning about all my faults and what fits and what doesn't.

Again, all Chris can say is "When is the next chapter coming out."

Strider, "I uploaded five chapters today, why do you want more?" I answered him. To my surprise, he was online, I think ... more like he went from offline to online after I sent him the message.

Chris, "It's late, you're up?"

Strider, "Yeah, I was tired earlier from studying."

Chris, "What subject?"

Strider, "Physics."

Chris, "Is it your favourite subject?"

Strider, "Not really."

Chris, "Oh, then what?"

Strider, "Literature."

Chris, "I should have known."

Strider, "Why would you?"

Chris, "Nevermind. So what are you doing?"

Strider, "Youtube and thinking about school, you?"

Chris, "Thinking about you."

Strider, "Again with your nonsense?"

Chris, "Its love at first chat."

Strider, "Oh..."

Chris, "Yep, I find you quite interesting. I never expected to read a book such as Tales of Lore and Lies and still get the chance to speak to the author."

Strider, "Ah, well it's nice meeting you too."

Chris, "Human! I am not joking here, you make my heart beat fast."

Strider, "You sound like a child."

Chris, "That hurts, I'm almost an adult."

Strider, "Oh, I am still under-aged."

Chris, "I'm seventeen turning eighteen in two months, you?"

Strider, "Sixteen."

Chris, "What colour are your eyes?"

Strider, "Greenish yellow, why?"

Chris, "I am trying to picture you in my mind."

Strider, "Creepy..."

Chris, "Lol, and your hair colour?"

Strider, "Black."

Chris, "Straight or curly."

Strider, "Straight."

Chris, "Can I hear your voice?"

Strider, "Why?"

Chris, "I don't know, please?"

Strider, "No!"

Chris, "Fine! By the way, I was thinking and wanted to ask you something personal."

Strider, "Sure, what is it?"

Chris, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Strider, "No."

Chris, "That's great!! Have you kissed before?"

Strider, "No!"

Chris, "If we were to meet in real life, would you give me a chance?"

Strider, "No!"

Chris, "That hurts, why not?"

Strider, "I have someone I like."

Chris, "Who should I kill?"

Strider, "Lol goodnight."

Chris, "Human! Sleep well."

How can he ask me such nonsense, err whatever, my bed is calling my name.
