Talk Fast // Noah

imagine: noah and you meet online

inspired: san junipero (black mirror) - ready player one - talk fast (5 seconds of summer)

where: you meet noah throughout an online virtual game called CosmoML.

warning: english is not my first language. please warn me if there are any grammar mistakes.

It's the year 2041 and people are escaping the world's fascist realism by the new virtual reality game CosmoML. It's not only a game to me though. Some teenagers are adapting their school life into it by studying with students all over the globe. At least that's what I said to my parents. I always switch the game's timezone and go back to the '80s. My friends thought it was lame but at least I got to meet some 80 year olds who are really cool. The game allowed to change your age so 80 year olds could turn their faces into their younger selves. Which was really cool too but it lowers the chances of me, meeting people that are my age.

I knocked on my apartment's door and my little brother opened it for me. I rushed to my room. Since my parents were not home I could use this time meeting a grandma who slept with Madonna or something. I put on the VR glasses and switched it to 1980's Malibu.

It was almost night and the night club's shining neon lights were on already.

Fast Night Club and Dance Zone

Interesting name of choice, I thought. I get in and went straight to the Atari section. There were still some kids who were playing. I said kids but they were probably five decades older than me. The game's graphic designer did a really good job on that.

There were five people in the dance floor but after I spent twenty minutes on the Atari section plenty of people came, since it was the time for the DJ.

I went up there and started to dance to Footloose by Kenny Loggins. The movie came out just this summer and people were obsessed with it.

'Ugh, the chorus!' I thought. I was dancing like nobody's watching.

Then 99 Lutfballoons by Nena started playing.

I joined a bunch of grandma's dancing and swing it from there. But I felt a pair of eyes on me. I didn't mind for the rest of the song but after the song ended and the DJ started to play True by Spandau Ballet, the pair of brown eyes started coming towards me.

At that point, all I was thinking were two things. First of all; why was the DJ playing a song from last year? And secondly; this grandpa was something back in the day.

"Hi." he said.

"Hi." I replied.

"Can I have this dance, madame?"

'What a gentleman.' I thought. Boys now are so trash.

"Sure." I said blushing.

(imagine the gif right here)

While we were dancing the brown eyes couldn't stop smiling. He had little freckles around his face and his curly brown hair was added up to his gorgeousness.

'Stop having a crush to someone's grandpa, Minerva!'

But his smile was ugh! It started getting annoying throughout the song, how handsome he is.

He asked through the middle of the song: "What's your name?"

"Minerva."

"Wow, that sounds like a new name."

"Because it is. I'm only seventeen."

It's important to stay true to yourself and others.

"You are seventeen?"

I shake my head as a yes.

"I'm eighteen." he said.

He looked happy. His smile changed from a calm one to an excited one very quickly.

"Do you think we are the only real teenagers here?" I asked.

"I thought I was the only one, that's why I called you madame in the first place."

"And I thought you were such a gentleman."

After a quick laugh DJ changed the music to Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr. and then something else, and then an another song.

All I cared about that night was to dance with this claimed-eighteen year old who made me laugh and fly butterflies on my stomach.

Beautiful, dark-haired, boy which I still didn't knew what his name was.

Time flew when I was dancing with him. He bought drinks for me and I bought drinks for him.

We danced all night long, up until my third drink. After that everything went blank and I opened my eyes to my angry mom and dad.

"Minerva!" said mom.

"Did you study all night, again?" said dad.

"Yeah, sorry about that." I lied.

What was the time?

"Honestly, if you weren't studying I would ban this thing ages ago!"

"Have you eaten anything?"

I shake my head as a no.

"We are going to bed, if you're hungry there are leftover dumplings in the fridge okay honey?" said dad and closed the door behind him.

I check my phone to see the time and OH MY GOD IT IS ALMOST MIDNIGHT AND I HAVE WORK DUE TOMORROW.

I didn't like lying to my parents but I also didn't spent all my time on CosmoML. I usually spent an hour or two and that was it. I almost spent seven hours tonight.

It was definitely not a thing I do but I didn't regret anything. My only regret was not to say goodbye to that boy. At least I could have thanked him for the dance and the drinks.

I didn't went to CosmoML for almost a week. Since that fiasco my whole schedule went nuts and I almost couldn't finish any of my school work only because I spent seven hours. Though it was a harsh week, on Friday night I decided to login again, to the same place and hope the boy was logged in there as well.

This time, I opened my eyes at the beach. While my pink crop top and acid-washed high waisted black jeans were something else, my grey, sparkly boots looked out of this planet.

I asked a few people to locate the night club but eventually found it myself by the bright green neon lights.

Fast Night Club and Dance Zone.

Here we go again.

Since I logged in a little late tonight there were a lot of people having fun and dancing to Like a Virgin by Madonna already.

I looked around and finally saw my guy at the bar.

I tapped on his shoulder.

He took a sip from his whiskey and then turned around.

"Hi!" I said.

He looked like he was glad I came.

"Oh god, I thought I'd never see you again!"

"Yeah, sorry about that, my parents..."

"Say no more." He said while he gently put his index finger on my mouth.

After a few seconds of staring at each other's eyes he said; " I'm Noah by the way."

"I don't think we introduced ourselves that well." he added.

"Hi Noah, I'm Minerva. Pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure is mine madame."

He kissed the top of my hand and then turned to the bartender and said; "Can we get your strongest shots?"

The bartender filled the little cups with a drink called Snowshoe.

We literally drank all of them in less than five seconds and he quickly turned to me and said: "I feel like, I can run a marathon right now."

"Then let's go!"

He grabbed my hand and we quickly went out of the night club and just started running in Malibu Beach.

He saw me struggling because of my space boots so he grabbed me from my belly and started spinning me around.

At that moment I feel like I was gonna throw up but I didn't care.

He finally let me put my feet on the ground.

We stared at each other's eyes again for maybe like a minute or two.

'Ugh those eyes looked like Hershey' s chocolate bars. Smooth, creamy, delectable and melting.' I thought.

I wondered what he was thinking about me.

Our heads slowly came really close and I felt his soft lips on mine. I could kill for those lips.

We slowly went on our knees and somehow I was sitting on his lap, making out with him, online. Someone I know nothing but everything about.

The sand felt like bedsheets and we didnt care for the skinny dippers and surfers around us. That moment was ours, and even if it was not real, I wouldn't change it to a real but bad one. The online was enough for me.

The End.

post #411

main points:

- eat some heated up dumplings

- visit mount bonnell

- visit the oasis/eat at a restaurant there

- drive over to family party at friend’s house!! reunion

- tried to play with the dog and it BIT ME >:(

- spend time eating, relaxing and looking at old pictures

- drive to san antonio to stay at double tree inn

writing this on sunday february 24

gonna try writing this with speech to text cause of my thumb (explained in february 24)

today i:

- woke up at 10 AM to my parents calling me telling me that there are dumplings to heat. I got out of bed heated up some of the remaining dumplings and ate those while watching while watching some smash.

okay jk this speech to text sucks i’m just gonna type

my parents went out to get coffee at a cafe with wesley’s parents which is why i was at home alone

- we left their house and then drove over to mount bonnell. did some hiking and took pictures of the beautiful view. there were some big ass houses around there omg

- drove over to the oasis cause my mom remembered eating there and having a nice view. mom and dad said that the now shopping mall esque center there wasn’t there 15 years ago. the parking lot wasn’t even paved. but because there was a fire they had to rebuild and the owner sold the property?

also it was SOOOOO windy jesus christ. like someone opened the front door of a restaurant we got lunch in and the menus blew everywhere. the restaurant we ate at was very meh. extremely slow service, food was meh... at the end we waited half an hour for dessert. then when we checked in to ask what was taking so long the waiter came back to say the dessert (peach cobbler) was out of season and they weren’t making it... so we waited 30 minutes for nothing...

- drove over to the family friend’s house, getting there around 4:30pm. holy shit it’s a really nice house. we got a tour of the house. it has a freaking movie theater???

while walking around the house i saw there was a dog cage. then i saw it was clawing at the bathroom door when we were walking around upstairs. i thought it’d be friendly and the owners just wanted to keep him there so he doesn’t bother people. i opened the door and he started barking at me... so i was like oh okay maybe not. but he looked so cute (little white furry dog)

so i tried to pet him and he growled at me. but i thought it’d be okay it just needed to get used to me. so then i slowly moved my hand over its head and then started petting. it looked kind of annoyed but i was like “good dog good dog” and then after a few seconds, BIT MY RIGHT THUMB. AHHHHHHHH. BAD DOG

i went downstairs and got my dad and a family friend to help me out. there were two teeth marks that were somewhat deep. we washed it in hot water and soap. then used hydrogen peroxide to clean it out. there was foam which i later found out means it’s killing bacteria (but also healthy cells)

then put a band aid on it and chilled on my phone. that was a big oof. i spent a bunch of time googling worried about rabies and tetanus. it’s very unlikely to get rabies because i clearly provoked the dog into biting me, which i had not known before. it must’ve also been angry cause it was locked in a bathroom and took it out on me/also not familiar with me to begin with

we ate dinner (which was bbq style). sausage, steak, chinese noodles, chinese rice cake, kale salad, it was a really interesting mix and absolutely delicious

- mom and dad were having a great time hanging out with everyone. they took a bunch of group photos, played cards, and pulled out karaoke. it was just like old times, 15 years ago, which was really wholesome to see. i also sort of chatted with some of them but not too too much cause i didn’t really know them/they were parents

chatted with one of the parents daughter who was studying a phd in math education. she was speaking in chinese the whole time though so i was trying to keep up LOL. i could understand what she was saying for the most part but speaking by myself was very difficult. rip. but she showed me the yelp of china, and a train booking app. cause i told her about my upcoming asia trip

at some point in the night, we started looking at old photos that the host took. he was a very tech savvy guy and had stored a bunch of photos from even 15 years ago. we all looked at them and were like “woah!!” and “wow”. i saw my grandpa from 15 years ago, myself at like 4 years old, my mom and dad 15 years ago

it really gave some perspective. that’s wild how time changes everyone physically, yet the relationships can still be the same

- eventually around 10pm we had to leave the party :( everyone was sad to see my mom and dad go. i almost feel like i felt more sad than my mom and dad LOL. i could tell they were all very close and in such a tight friend group back then. but now as time passes by, it becomes harder and harder to keep in touch. but now that they have each other on wechat that won’t be a problem :p

it really gave me some perspective. on the car ride to san antonio, mom and dad talked about how hard it is to meet new people as you get older. i feel like i was aware of it but hearing them vocalize it verbally solidified it in my head. it’s important to meet as many people as you can while you’re young cause so many things come up later on in life (kids, mortgage, etc)

also we stopped by walgreens to get neosporin so i could reapply the bandaid to the dog bite

got to double tree which was right next to the airport around 11:40pm. then checked in, ate the doubletree cooke (which is apparently a thing) then went to bed by like 12:30am. we have to wake up at 4:30am tomorrow. i didn’t bother showering or changing
