What you are about to read right now,
is an account of real life events that occurred,
between two female adolescents, one thirteen while the other, seventeen.
They were from, metaphorically, different worlds.
With different social lives and background.
If without that one link that brought them together,
this story probably would not exist.
to differenciate the point of views of the two,
cheryl's thoughts would be bolded.
Read & Review [:
-~-~-
The two girls are named Cheryl and Shaa,
with the latter being the older half of the duo.
Cheryl, is your average freshman that people just cant hate.
With usual results that both parents and teachers can be proud of,
and classmates that tease her about it but yet,
will try to get her help with their work when they're stuck.
She goes day by day with a smile plastered on her face,
thanks to the clique she constantly spends time with.
Some of those smiles were truly genuine, others not so much.
To others that do not know her,
would have an impression that she is awfully shy.
But as it is to be revealed later,
several would beg to differ.
Shaa, on the other hand, is the total opposite of Cheryl.
A graduating student and yet, she constantly disappoints
both her parents and teachers with her results.
Due to her introverted personality in school and home,
she remains detached from her classmates as well as her family.
Her comfort lies with her one friend, her god sister,
and that's when her true personality comes out.
To her classmates and parents, she was a person of few words.
To the rest of the world, they will probably call her an eccentric person.
oO-Oo-oO-Oo
It was on June 28th of the year 2008 where it all started.
Shaa was instant messaging her friend, Xiao Ting,
or "Lessy" as she endearingly nicknames the girl.

on June 28th, 2008,
Cheryl was on msn with her friend, XiaoTing,
whom she called, her 'fiance'.
She had heard stories about Shaa, as well as a few others,
from Xiaoting, and was interested in meeting her.--
Unbeknownst to them then, XiaoTing was actually her link to a very scandalous affair.
--
The first thing that Shaa read from her was,
(6:25 PM) - ♥}/TING.:
LESSY!
(6:25 PM) - ♥}/TING.:
got ppl want to meet you. o.o
Like any other person, Shaa was surprised and wary at first.
After questioning her 'Lessy' as to the reason why,
she agreed to be invited for an IM conference.
Surprise surprise!
The person that wanted to meet her, was none other than Cheryl.
As a joke, Shaa 'confessed' that she was a 'les' to lighten up the chat.
But it was to no avail as, it remained to be uncomfortable for the trio.
---
She asked Xiaoting to introduce Shaa to her,
and thus, they were introduced.
the first thing Shaa said to her was,
" HI! I'm a les. "
Cheryl was taken aback by Shaa's easygoing-ness,
and how she was so cheerful and fun to be around.
She wanted to get closer, but because she was shy,
they had really awkward conversations.
they were, as others might say, mere "acquaintances".---
The chats between the two protagonists continued to be short and awkward.
Luckily, everything changed on the July the 3rd.
'Twas the day where they officially called each other 'Scandals'.
That day, the three teamed up together to spam each other's blogs,
and called themselves, "Spammers' United".
Halfway spamming through Cheryl's blog,
Shaa nicknamed Cheryl, her 'Scandal'.
And from then on, the two were inseperable.
---
One day, however, she asked Shaa to tag her blog,
in a feeble attempt to start another conversation.
Shaa wrote, " I love Cheryl " on Cheryl's tag board.
That was what gave her the courage to be less timid and quiet,
They started jokingly dissing Xiaoting,
because basically, she was the most they had in common then.
They started spamming each other's blogs,
and named themselves, "spammers united".
At that time, Cheryl was going through a rough patch at school,
but she printed out the tags,
and whenever she felt like she couldn't go on,
she took it out, read it, and grinned like some mad person.
They called each other names like, " kuku ", " retarded ", and so on.
words that were supposed to be used as mockery,
become words that seemed to belong to just the two of them.
it was something that just strengthened their bond.
and thus. a beautiful friendship was formed.
oO-Oo-oO-Oo
