liv. She’s the only 1.
    Black_Venus: Your love is pure. But if you got her back, would you ever be able to look at her the same way? Love her as much?
    Sunshine26: Good question.
    Gypsygrl: Hi grlfrnds. Wat, or who, r we chattng about?
    A pop-up message blinked on my screen. Mail. I had e-mail. Should I read it? It could be from Dylan. But I was in the middle
     of chat. What if it was Dylan? I risked it.

    Hi. It’s me, Black_Venus. The board is getting too crowded and I wanted to talk to you alone. You need some private time.
     Are you there? Want to IM?
    Yeh
, I replied.
Thanx
.
    Wow, Black_Venus wanted to talk to me. She was amazing. I’d been lurking on the chat board for a while, afraid to speak up.
     Until now I never had anything to say. So many people in pain over breakups and stuff. God, I never thought I’d be one of
     them. I switched to IM.
    Black_Venus: What are you thinking? That’s a stupid question. You’re sad. You hurt.
    Scar_tissu: Yeh. I can’t stop crying.

    Black_Venus: I know. You feel lost. Scared. Everything seems hopeless.
    Scar_tissu: Yeh
    Black_Venus: I wish I could talk to you in person. WDUL? I’m in LA.
    Should I tell her? I guess it wouldn’t hurt. She’d told me. She was a regular board member, so it must not be against the
     rules or anything.
    Scar_tissu: Mason City
    Black_Venus: Where’s that?
    Scar_tissu: IA
    Black_Venus: Iowa? As in corn country?
    Scar_tissu: Yeh. Hicksville. Hog farms and turkey trots.
    Black_Venus: *Grins* It has to be really hard to hook up with girlz in a small town. The only thing I know about IA is corn.
    Scar_tissu: Right. Corn fritters, corn dogs, corn on the cob. Everyone is corn fed.
    Black_Venus: LOL. I think I flew over IA once on my way to Boston.
    Scar_tissu: That was me in the cornfield below screaming, “Stop! Emergency landing. Take me with U.”

    Black_Venus: LMAO. I must’ve had my earbuds in. I’m glad to see you’re smiling. Feeling better?
    Scar_tissu: Yeh. Thanx. It still hurts.
    Black_Venus: I know. You’re going to hurt for a while. Give yourself time. Just keep telling yourself TIAD.
    TIAD. What was that?
    Black_Venus: Tomorrow Is Another Day.
    Right. Another day without her, I thought.
    Black_Venus: Can we IM later tonight too? I think you’re cool. I’d like to get to know you better.
    My pulse raced. She thought I was cool. Black_Venus thought I was cool. A girl from LA? Wow.
    Black_Venus: What do you listen to? What’s on your playlist?
    She’d think it was stupid. I could lie. No, that was no way to start a relationship. A relationship? What was I saying? We
     weren’t in a relationship.
    Scar_tissu: Tera Moses. Mostly. But I like all kinds of music.
    Black_Venus: Tera Moses?!!! OMG. I love them. No one else I know appreciates their sound.

    Yeah. No one I knew did either. Dylan couldn’t stand them. Black_Venus and I had a connection.
    Black_Venus: Who else do you like?
    Scar_tissu: Limping Fetus. Pink. Archimedes. EZ Girl.
    Black_Venus: OMG. We’re so in sync. Do you like Melia?
    Scar_tissu: Yeh. I love her! She’s awesome. Did you see her video of “Blown Away”?
    Black_Venus: Sexy, huh? Plus, I know her personally. She went to my school for a year.
    Scar_tissu: Melia? Wow. Is that her real name? What’s she like in person?
    Black_Venus: Kind of a bitch. But… pant pant, I could get beyond her putrid personality. Her real name is Amelia Corncob. Not really.
     It’s Amelia Trottenturkey.
    I laughed.
    We IM’d more about music, movies. She was into the scene, the Hollywood scene, West Coast scene. I wasn’t sure how old she
     was, but older than me. We talked until Dad told me to shut it down and go to bed.

    Her ID on my screen every morning was my only reason to get up. Black_Venus. I wondered what it meant. When I chose Scar_tissu,
     I had no idea it would predict my future. We IM’d for a week, every day. We’d chat for, like, an hour in the morning, then
     I’d have to tear off to school
