Ch 1-Stranger.

[Author]

The day goes by normally for Serene, and it was just another boring day for her. When a guy sent a text.

At the same age as her, She had no interest in him, and she still decided to respond to him half-heartedly. They chatted with each other, and she occasionally answered him with zero energy.

He talked to her in a long message, and she had to read it all. She felt exhausted after seeing the message, she felt sleepy looking at it.

And he mentioned something interesting that Peaked her interest.

So, she stopped replying to her other friend and said a 'good night' message to them.

...****************...

...----------------...

"Why did that do that?"

She asked him.

And he responded.

"Well, I don't know. You want to know a weird part?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Well, on the day of the Christmas/New year the people on TV instead of greeting us, it talked about What is happening in Russia, and it was no fun at all."

"Dang, that low key suck."

"It does!"

"Anyway, what's your name?"

I asked him.

"Alex Kuznetov. What about you?"

"Oh wow. Full name? Aren't you afraid I'll scam you?"

"Why would you scam me?"

"Why are you gullible?"

"Anyway, My name is Serene Diaz nice to meet you, Alex."

"Nice to meet you too."

We greeted each other, and got back to

chatting about a lot of things.

As time passed. I became groggy.

...****************...

...----------------...

"Hey,"

"Yeah?"

"I'm kinda sleepy now. I must go and get some rest."

"Will you come back?"

I was yawning when I saw his chat, and I froze mid-yawn.

"Ofcourse. I'm going to sleep now."

"Okay)), I'll wait for your chat tomorrow. Good night)) I'll sleep as well."

The next day, she texted him a 'Good morning.'

And after that, she went to school.

...----------------...

'Ughh, school is so exhausting I feel tired just thinking about it. Wait— I have a long quiz today!!! Oh my goshhhhhh I need to hurry up and go to my class early! What time is it now?'

I said to myself as I hurriedly walked towards my classroom.

I looked to see the time, and it was already 5:50am.

'Omygoshhhhhhh!'

I yelled in my head as I quickly walked to my classroom out of breath, as I wore my foot sock.

And, I sat down at the seat, And had a little chit chat with my friends.

Class started already and I listened attentively to the teacher's words.

The long quiz finished and I was feeling refreshed. I stretched my arms and my friends are gossiping.

I listened to them chit-chatting and laughing as well, I was deeply immersed in my own thoughts to ever notice that my other friend was calling me.

...****************...

"Serene??"

"Sereneee"

"Huh?"

I looked at her, and she laughed.

"What are you thinking about girl anyway let's go buy snacks. I'm Starrrving."

"Sure,"

I said. While I was walking with them.

And time flew by, and It was already 12pm.

I walked home with my friends, and we were all having a good time.

I waved goodbye to them as we walked our separate ways.

I kept thinking about something, and when I got home, I had forgotten about it.

I opened my Web novel app, and continued to finish reading 'Who made me a princess.

I fell asleep while reading, and when I woke up it was already 5 in the afternoon.

I got up, and went to the kitchen to get some food, and eat. And continued reading 'Who made me a princess.'

Later at 7, I decided to be online. And when I was online I saw a chat from him.

I clicked on it, and I found out that he was online.

'Maybe he is talking to someone else.'

...****************...

...----------------...

"Good morning as well."

I texted him back.

"Hi,"

And got an immediate response.

"Hello)))"

'What does that 3 close parentheses even mean.'

"I just got back from school lied. What about you?"

I asked him.

"My school finished 7 hours ago."

"That's great:)

I responded.

There is still no attachment to him, And so on we continued chatting.

(PS: I won't write much of our past convos because it's kinda getting sensitive, and it's about his privacy life. So I'm not going to share it.)

And time passes by, and we have been chatting for 2 weeks.

Our convo always ended with his

"Good night))" or "I have to sleep now(( I don't want to yet((But I have to sleep(("

We also have a 2-hour difference. Which means, he is ahead of time for 2-hours.

(I think I might reveal some, but not much.)

...****************...

...----------------...

"Sooo, Alex."

"Yes?"

"Calling you Alex is so tiring, it's pretty long.

Can I give you a nickname?"

"Sure I don't mind))"

"Okay, wait a moment."

"Okay."

"What's your eye color?"

"Blue."

I exited the app and Went to Chatgpt.

...****************...

...----------------...

"Heyy."

"Hello[waved] How can I help you?"

"Well... There is a russian guy and I wanted to give him a nickname. Can you give me some ideas?"

"Oh?[Smirks] I see! You find someone you like and want to give him a nickname? Can you explain in detail what he is like?"

"First, I don't have feelings for him. Second I don't know much about him, third I don't know what he looks like."

"Haha! So you don't like him? [smirks playfully] Well, Here is the list."

...****************...

...----------------...

I stared at the cringe nickname list. I only choosed 2 of them 'Ace' and 'Blue.'

"Yoo! I'm back. Choose."

"Where?"

"Ace, Blue, and Kai."

At this time of our chat. I wanted to know his POV, because he took too long to respond and just left me on read.

I think the Blue part was weird.

Then he replied.

...****************...

...----------------...

"Definitely not Ace."

"Why? Is your bullies name Ace?"

"No, it's just that Ace translates to something bad and dirty in Russian."

"Oh gosh! I'm so sorry!"

"It's okay, You don't know it anyway"

"So? What's your nickname going to be?"

"Just Kai."

"Great, then I'll call you Kai."

"Then, I'll think about what to call you."

'He can just call me by my name though.'

I thought to myself.
