124 :: Peter and Jack
Message Jack. Check out Naomi’s latest dance. (Peter)
Peter lay on his bed. He wrote a message to Naomi.
Absolutely love your dance. Brilliant to see you are about again. Where are you. It would be great to see you again.
The message pinged in his cupboard. On her Skroll. He stared at the cupboard. He opened Minidocs. He commented on the dance.
A brilliant dance. You are amazing. Contact me if you get this note. Your friend. Peter.
Peter lay on his bed staring at the ceiling. His Skroll pinged. A message from Jack popped up.
Yeah. She is brilliant. Glad she is okay.
Message Jack. I would really like to see her again. What do you think. (Peter)
She still in London.
Message Jack. Do not know. She had not dee emmed me. Did she give you her iPass id. (Peter)
Peter lay staring at the ceiling again. Jack did not reply.
Message Jack. You know I have talked about Stories to Bring the World Together. It is ready. Nothing complicated. Just clever ways to link stories together. And lessons on how to write a little story. It could be a real big thing. I just need someone to get behind it. And now Naomi is proper famous I think she would do it for me. I am never going to know anyone as famous as her again. I need to talk to her. (Peter)
No sorry mate. She never told me.
Message Jack. Will you help me try to find her. Just ask her to dee em you. She fancied you and all. (Peter)
She will not. Things did not work out with us.
Message Jack. I am just asking you to make a comment on her minidoc. You have a high iQ so she will see your comment. Mine will be lost paged down. Please. (Peter)
Look. I said it did not work out with us. She is never going to message me. That is just how it is.
Peter lay on his bed looking at the veiling. His Skroll pinged. A message from Naomi. From her iPass. Would you like to receive a message from Naomi? She is not in your friends list. Peter accepted.
Hi Peter. I am fine. I am outside London. My new friends say I have to be careful with my info.
Reply Naomi. I would love to come see you. I have tomorrow off. I should have had today off but they needed me. Can I come visit. Just tell me your nearest station. (Peter)
My friends say Gillingham. Just let me know when you will be there.
Peter checked the timetables.
Reply Naomi. I can be there at nine ten tomorrow. So excited to see you again. (Peter)
