A Surprising Meeting
My semester break just begins. I’m going to spend this whole break at my grandmother’s house. Well, I actually have nothing to do for like 3 months and a half, so my mom suggested that I should babysit some kids. You can guess how my reaction was. Oh My God. Babysitting is the last job that I want to do. Dealing with kids, not really what I am looking for. But I end up listening to her since the parents for the kids are paying quite a lot.
The family of the kids is my grandmother’s acquaintance. The kids’ kindergarten closes without any notice. That’s why the parents really need someone to take care of their children when they’re at work.
I’ve been sitting in front of my laptop for hours. I sign in into the chatting website. I stare at the screen-doing nothing. Truth to be told, I’m actually holding back myself from clicking the chat box. This dilemma has lies under the carpet for quite a long time. I don’t want to chat with him. No, not ever.

Username: Peanut Butter
Gender: Male
Age: 20
That’s all. He didn’t give any other information about him. He was using ‘peanut butter’ as his username. Cute. I thought I was the only person who used that kind of weird name. He didn’t seem like he’s a bad person. I accepted his friend request and then we started to chat every single day. Mostly, he was the one who started it.
Somehow, he attracted me just by his words. I know nothing about him but my heart raced every time I’m in a conversation with him and peanut butter jelly crossed my mind sometime. You know what I meant. Peanut Butter plus Jelly. Make a good combination right?
After months, we’re getting closer. I asked him what exactly he does for his work. He told me he’s a singer, but he doesn’t use his real name when on stage. Yeah right. Like I’m going to believe that. As a result I told him that I was a singer too, but a rookie. At first I thought it was a joke but then from the way he’s describing about h
