The Wrong Number
Kai
Hey Christine, It's Kai Lemming from school. I was just wondering when and where we're going for the date.
Red
Hi, I think you have the wrong number. I'm not Christine.
Kai
Are you pranking me right now or are you serious?... Damnit! I should have known it was too good to be true. I'm sorry to have bothered you.
Red
Well, I mean, we do still go to the same school. We could talk if you want to? It would be pretty lame to text me and then not answer, right?
Kai
We do? What's your name? Do we have the same classes? How did Christine even get your phone number?
Red
We have a few classes together. I tutor and help Christine so that's why she has my number. About my name... I think I'll leave that as a mystery. Who doesn't love a good mystery after all?
Kai
Okay... Then what should I call you? What's your gender at least?
Red
You can call me Red... And I think I'll leave my pronouns and real name to your imagination. I have a tutoring session right now but we'll talk later?
Kai switches group chats.
Kai
Christine pranked me, guys. She gave me this person's number who tutors her. The person goes to our school but won't tell me anything about them! They told me to call them Red for the time being. What do I do?
Bethany
So... You want us to help you find this random person at our school full of random people? Is there a gender to this person or just another mystery?
Charlie
What's their profile picture?
Alex
What's their phone number? Surely a phone number is more helpful than a profile picture, right? We could see if we have the same phone number.
Kai
As for the phone number... It's ***********
Cassidy
I just called that number but the person's voice was modulated... Do you think this person is a hacker or has two phones?
Kai
Great, so we're back to square one.
Charlie
Actually, the profile picture can be seen as quite feminine... I think we have a female to find.
Alex
Or maybe this person is playing tricks on us and is actually a guy.
Cassidy
Guys, stop making it more complicated. Let's call Red "she" for now and see what we find. We can start our hunt tomorrow at school.
Bethany
That sounds like a good idea. Let's start there.
Kai
All right, good night everyone. Tomorrow, we find this mysterious person.
Sick Day
Kai
Hey Red, how are you?... Are you near me?
Red
I'm actually not at school today... I had a rough night and just had to stay at home, I hope you can understand.
Kai
Is everything all right? Do I need to call the police?
Red
Haha, no. No of course not. I've just been sick and it's only getting worse. I'll talk to you later.
Kai
So our mysterious woman isn't coming in today because she is sick. Now we just need to see who isn't in today.
Bethany
So it's that easy? She didn't even try! I thought this would be a fun game that would last for weeks.
Cassidy
I'm going to be honest, she sounds kinda hot. A mysterious woman by the name of Red... It just appeals to me.
Alex
How is this easy? We have more work because they'll be lots of people off if there is a bug going around school. Are you guys insane?
Charlie
Alex has a point, we don't have a lot of luck on our side.
Kai
Really? You guys are negative monkeys. I'll see if I can ask my teachers about the people off today. See you guys at lunch.
Red
Hey Kai, how's school been today?
Kai
Red, hi. Terrible, none of my teachers would tell me who is off today so my search for you is hindered a little but I will find out who you are, never fear.
Red
You are actually starting to get invested in this, aren't you? Huh, I'm surprised.
Red
Because you're usually bunking off and not doing your work in lessons.
Kai
Aha! So you look at me in some of my lessons.
Red
Well, you are very distracting.
Kai
Is that supposed to be a flirtatious comment or a compliment...?
Red
Both. I guess that, because you don't know who I am, I have a little more confidence than usual.
Kai
Wait, don't tell me you have a crush on me? I don't even know who you are! I can't even confirm or tell you if I feel the same! This is so unfair.
Red
Guess you'll just have to find out.
Kai
Hey, I noticed that Christine hasn't been in today. Do you know where she is?
Red
Yeah, she came to see me.
Kai
Why would she visit you if you're sick?
Red
Hah... I should go. I'll take to you later.
Sexual Orientation
Red
Hey... I'm sorry about not replying yesterday. I'm at school today though...
Kai
You scared the crap out of me! I thought maybe you had done something you would regret!
Kai
Don't ever do that to me again!
Red
I'm sorry. I really am. I didn't mean to frighten you, I just... I just wasn't invested in the conversation and knew you would ask questions that I don't want to answer.
Kai
But that doesn't mean you just go dark on me! You could have just told me to leave you alone and I would have! Don't do that again, okay?
Red
Okay... Okay, I'm sorry. I promise I won't.
Kai sits down at the desk and sighs heavily as he grabs out his book.
Kai
How are you feeling today anyway?
Red
I'm okay, thank you. How are you?
Kai
I'm all right. So you're in school today? Shouldn't you have waited another day before coming in?
Red
I don't like missing more than a day of school if I can help it.
Kai
Ah right... So you're a little bit of a nerd?
Red
I don't really fall into a category of clichés. I'm a mixture. A but if a nerd, wallflower and popular kid.
Kai
Well I guess I would be classed as the Class Clown then?
Red
Actually, I would class you as a jock, wallflower and the class clown. :)
Red
But you have the build for it. And besides, you're pretty strong mentally and physically.
Kai
It's weird hearing someone who likes you talk about you in a way where you feel like talking about others. I guess it's nice to have a crush with a lot of confidence. Maybe one day you would even share your identity with me. My group of friends think you're a woman, is that right? I feel like you're there and I can see you but I can't reach you. Does that make sense?
Red
A natural poet... Yeah, I get it. I'll let you and your friends ponder the idea of me being a female. Talk later, class is about to begin.
Kai
Hey Cassidy, can I talk to you privately?
Cassidy
Sure, what's up? Is it about Red? Do you know who it is? Could you send her my way? ;)
Kai
Uh, no, not yet. How's things going with Jessie?
Cassidy
Ah... She broke up with me... Again. I'm tired of her saying she loves me and getting back together only for her to turn around to tell me she doesn't love me anymore.
Kai
Do you want me to have a word with her for you about it?
Cassidy
No, thank you. This is a fight I have to do myself.
Kai
So... Do you think I could be gay?
Cassidy
Bisexual, maybe. Gay, possibly. I think that's something you have to work out yourself though, Kai. I'm sorry that I'm not much help.
Kai
It's fine, thank you. I'll talk later, okay?
