AHHHHHHHH! THIS IS THE VERY FIRST VIRALS FANFIC! AHHHH! AHHH I'M SO EXCITED! EEEEEEEP!

Anyways, now that THAT'S out of the way, hello! I am Nikki! This is my first EVER Virals fanfic and THE first ever one on fanfiction! Woo! Scream and shout! Woo! Anyways, on with the fanfic ...

I sighed as I sat in my chair in front of my computer. I logged onto iFollow and one red orb glowed to life on the screen. Ben. At home. I sighed and posted.

Hey Ben. Crazy month, huh? I can't believe that all happened.

I sat back in my chair and silently drummed the space beside the keyboard. Suddenly, Ben's message appeared below my post.

Yeah. I guess.

I raised an eyebrow and typed.

Why don't you talk more? Why are you so ... quiet?

He responded right away.

Because.

I rolled my eyes.

That's nowhere NEAR a reason.

Nothing popped up for a while. It was nearly twenty minutes later when it finally showed up. Luckily I waited long enough for it to pop up. But I gotta say, it was a close call. I was about to shut down the computer when the comment was posted and the window flashed.

I opened the window and read his comment.

You want me to talk more? Fine. I will. I'm quiet because I like to keep to myself in the same way that you're obsessed with rocks and junk. And I know what you'll say, Brennan. 'Oh, those aren't rocks, you idiot! Those are seashells with sea stuff on them!' Or something like that. But they are just rocks and they are just covered in sea crap. I mean, what's with you? Won't you notice the obvious! I swear, a few times I thought I gave it away, but no. You're to dense enough to not know that I like you!

My mouth dropped to the floor. I swear, it did. But there were more than one posts.

No! Shiz, did I really just send that!

I read on. There were a few more posts.

April fools. Woohoo. I tricked you. Yeah.

I kept reading.

Oh, God I'm a mess. Wait, why am I typing what I'm saying out loud?

He seemed upset, distraught, and ... I don't know? Crazy? Not like himself. At all. He just seemed like it. Another post just popped up.

Listen Tory. I don't like it when Jasper or Janice or Jason whatever his name is talks to you. I REALLY don't. I ESPECIALLY didn't like it when I figured out that you liked Chance Claybourne. That second, I just wanted to strangle him. Him and Jason. I didn't like it when you ever talked to or hung with ANY of them. But you did. And now ... I think I'm jealous. I like you, Brennan. Get used to it. Goodbye.

I glanced at his orb. It wasn't there anymore. Ben logged off. Ben likes me. He ... likes me. He likes me? What does this mean for us? Really, 'cuz I'd like to know. And why would he like me? Me, the 'overobsessed Brennan girl'. I didn't really like the name but I could admit I can be a bit infatuated with ... things.

But Ben. This was crazy. And now ... now it'll all just be one, huge awkward mess. Great. Something I specialize in.

Huh. Yeah, right.

... I like you, Brennan. Get used to it. ...

How was that? I might edit it. I need to reread the book. But ... for the first fanfic, I hope that's satisfactory! Or, you know, MORE than satisfactory would be awesome too.
