Option 1: All in white
Miyu didn't know why she insisted on dressing up for someone who couldn't even see her, but she did anyway. She straightened her bangs, something her mother was always pressuring her to do for school, but she never did. Not school. But for Ko, well, she had to look nice for Ko. Not that he knew how much effort she was putting into looking special. She felt sort silly about the whole thing, but it got her in the mood. She twisted her golden-brown hair around her finger nervously as she scearched for her satsuma-scented lipgloss, the one that made her lips look fuller and sparkle. Carefully, she slid on a ruffled white sundress, checked her appearance in one of her compact mirriors.
"Good to go," she whispered. Quickly glancing around, she confirmed that she was all alone. She flipped open the laptop and signed in.
Ko says: Hello Femi. How are you?
Femi says: I'm fine, Ko. Sorry it took me so long to get online.
Ko says: No need to aplogise, sweetie. Waiting just makes me want to talk to you more.
Femi says: Well, in that case, maybe we should wait a bit longer. ;)
Ko says: Oh Femi, you're such a tease.
Miyu chatted until she heard the sound of a key turning the lock.
Femi says: I have to go Ko, someone's coming.
Ko says: That's too bad. ): Until tomorrow, little Femi. Kisses and Hugs.
Femi: If I don't see you, good morning, good evening and good night.
"Miyu, why are you all dressed up?" her mother asked when she came down the stairs.
"Just felt like it Mum."
"Well, I wish you would 'just feel like' doing it for school. You can look so nice and put together when you put some effort into it. Life isn't just getting good grades you know," her mother wagged a finger in her face.
"I know Mum," Miyu whispered, her thoughts on the boy she only knew by screen-name. "I know."
