Hello,
Are you the Alice I met last Friday?
Sorry if you’re not!
Matt
Alice: 17:03 16/03/02
Yep wow how did u find me?
Matt: 17:12 16/03/02
I remembered your name and looked it up on the uni website
Hope you don’t mind I just wanted to say sorry for Monday.
Alice: 17:47 16/03/02
No I don’t mind – wow that’s cool I probably wouldn’t have thought of that to find u and it should be me apologising after all she is my friend!
Matt: 09:10 17 17/03/02
Not your fault.
It was embarrassing though, lets never be in the same room as Trish ever again! You wouldn’t be able to find me the same way – I’m at work remember * sticks toungue out *
Alice: 10:02 17/03/02
Hehehe
It was very embarrassing but she means well. I wasn’t running away from you by the way it was just that I’ve been ill recently and Trish wouldn’t let me leave until u had turned up!
Sorry if you thought I was * blushing tomato *
Matt: 10:05 17/03/02
Oh – yeah no worries I did think you might have been upset because of Emma but that’s makes more sense.
Hope your ok now
Matt
Alice:12:06 17/03/02
Emma seems nice, how long have you two been together?
Matt: 14: 13 17/03/02
She asked me out on Wednesday.
Alice: 12:08 18/03/02
Was she very upset by Trish’s hashed attempt at match making?
I just wanted to disappear when then pushed u into that empty seat next to me and then she pushed us together!
Matt:
She wasn’t too pleased no, but its ok now.
Yeah I felt really awkward but I wanted to say hi to you anyway.
Alice:
Sorry it caused you problems
Matt:
No its fine really, hows your course and stuff going anyway?
Matt
Alice:
Badly and now I have to have an operation too : (
Matt:
That sucks, when you going in perhaps I could come and see you?
Matt
Matt:
Hello?
Are you still alive?
I haven’t heared anything from you in three months, I was just wondering how the op went?
Matt
Alice:
Yeah I’m ok, been in the middle of exams.
I’m still going through the 600 emials that built up whilst I was in hospital and on top of that I’ve found out my course wont let me do my summer placement due to medical reasons : ( so I have to spend the summer here in London instead of in Greece * sigh *
Matt:
Eeek!
Not good!
What about Trish and co?
Alice:
They’re all still going : (
Matt:
I was going past uni today to put a new server in and I thought of you in there playing in the lab!
Alice:
Playing!
Hehehe – I’m bored, really bored I was in the lab until 9 last night and everybody else is away on holiday or on placement, even the lectures are away checking on all the placements.
Matt:
Doesn’t sound good
You need to socialise more!
Alice:
Hehehe
Yes I know I think I forgot how to actually speak yesturday. Mum phoned me and I just moved my fingers as if typing instead of saying anything! I actually had to think how to talk!!!
Matt:
Not good you really need to meet up with someone in the physical!
Alice:
Yeah well – I get to go on holiday for two weeks soon : )
Matt:
Anywhere nice?
Alice:
To Greece to meet up with the others and to see where I should have spent the summer!
Matt:
Have fun!
Alice:
Hi long time no hear!
How are you, I had a great holiday and am excited about final year! I get to have proper options this year : )
Matt:
Hi!
As in topics you actually want to do rather than generic stuff?
Alice:
Yep
Though this year is already starting to look hectic and its not even the end of the first week yet! I’m working at the Student Union and doing Theatre Soc! So I’m going to be in that building nearly every night! Plus I need to write up my final year project.
Hows things with u?
Matt:
It was nice seeing you at the Pub Quiz even if you did have to run back to rehearsals again!
Whats the show again?
Do you have rehearsals ever Tuesday?
Alice:
It’s the Rocky Horror Picture show – I’m going to b in fishnets : )
Yeah every Tuesday and Sundays during the day too!
Matt:
Fishnets? What really? I’ll have to come and see the show then! I’ll make a fortune if I video : )
Alice:
Thankyou for walking me home last night – I felt like such a muppet passing out at rehearsals like that. Even if Trisha made things awkward – again!
Matt:
No problem but you really need to go to the doctors about it, especially after all that op business.
Alice:
Yeah I know I have an appointment on Thursday – have to miss lectures : (
Matt:
Do you want to grab a pizza afterwards or something? I can’t come with you cos of work but you could tell me how it goes?
Alice:
Cool.
Space time coordinates?
Matt:
Hehe
At the Station for 6 I work real close : )
Alice:
Your on!
Alice:
Thanks for last night! Sorry you had to get the night bus home I didn’t realise how late it had got! I must confess I didn’t know weather you were asking me out or not – I was all nervous and kept asking everyone!
- Matt:
-
) That’s because I worded it vaguely as I wasn’t sure if you liked me and if you seemed not to then I could pretend it was just as friends all along!
You have to be the hardest girl to actually get physical contact with I know! It was gone 11 before we kissed!
Alice:
- blushing lots * well I thought u had a girlfriend, I really told myself off for flerting with you!
Matt:
A girlfriend?
Alice:
Yeah Emma?
Matt:
Ah – I only went out with her for two weeks. I couldn’t stop thinking that I should have pulled you on that first night but I was too shy!
Alice:
We’ve both been donuaghts haven’t we?
Matt:
That’s for sure!
Alice:
Matt,
You are a great guy and deserve someone better than me – I’m afraid this isn’t going to work. I’m really sorry.
Yours Alice
Matt:
Alice whats wrong?
Don’t be silly you told me you loved me yesturday!
Matt:
Alice please answer your phone I’m getting worried now
Matt:
Alice this isn’t right I know somethings wrong – let me be there for you.
Matt:
Alice did the biopsy results come back? Is that’s whats wrong?
Alice:
I’m fine, everythings fine, leave me alone we’re over get over it!
Alice:
I’m really sorry about how I reacted.
Thanks for coming over, how did you know the tests were positive? I could still kill my roommate for letting you in though!
Matt:
Hmmm, let me see – the fact you wouldn’t answer your phone, being irrational etc… sending me txts saying I deserved better!
Alice:
I’ve tried phoning and left messages but if your in a meeting I know that this is the quickest way to reach you and I couldn’t wait!
The second lot r clear!!!! : ) : ) : )
I’m in remission!!!
Matt:
Hun that’s great – I sneak out of here at first opotunity!
- hug *
Matt
