Courting Jester

Emory and Aaron are friends on facebook.
Aaron added Emory as a friend a week after he saw her walking by the library. A semester before, in the cafeteria, Aaron and Emory made flirty eye contact during breakfast. Emory returned her plate and pushed the elevator button. Aaron quietly walked up beside Emory and looked at her. Emory looks at him, walks away and takes the stairs.
A semester later Emory confirms Aaron as her friend on facebook.


Aaron: Hi
Emory: Hi?
Aaron: ?
Emory: Lol, hi
Aaron: I’m in class so
Emory: k'bye
Aaron: Don’t be mad if I don’t respond fast.
Aaron: Wait. How are you?
Emory: Well, u?
Aaron: I’m good. What u doing?
Emory: I’m actually at work lol
Aaron: That’s a nice job that requires you to be on facebook lol.
Emory: ha ha, it’s not a requirement, just a perk
Aaron: What do you do at work?
Emory: Nothing much. I just sign ppl in, help ppl, clerical crap.
Aaron: I have a question, do u give people a hard time on purpose, because the
Ladies at the help desk suck, and I think they do it on purpose….?
Emory: What’s up with all the ellipses? Lol

Emory goes offline and onto Aaron’s page. She looks at his pictures and sees most of the pictures are of a baby, about a year old. She then proceeds to look at his info and finds that his relationship status is “engaged.” Emory disgustedly deletes him as a friend.



Emory: Soooooo turns out he's engaged and has a daughter, he is soooo outta there.
Jazz: Slut
Emory: Why am I a slut?
Jazz: No he is
Emory: Yeah I know
Emory: He said he wants to teach me things. I think he's already made a smiley with someone.
Jazz: Wtf?
Emory: There I just pasted everything, keep up Jazz.
