The Texting Game - Doremus Young
THE FIRST 4 AND ¾
The first four and three-quarter pages of text flash across screen as beginning credits roll. (One text is equivalent to a credit). Movie starts at Janez: (You think you like me). Seven question text message pending… Are you missing my phone call?
(Lol). Do you keep your voice mail?
Are you about your business?
You do what you want when you feel like it?
You’re not immature? Are you?
When do you graduate?
… May…
Movie begins person to person, You think you like me?
Yeah. I need to get to know you more though.
True. I’ll say me too.
I said. Okay.
You got something to do tomorrow?
Yeah, I got a basketball game.
She replied. Score three points for me.
I cheered. Lol. Only… Three?
She sighed. (Outgoing text to Brit Brit, Is there a meeting today 3:00 or 3:30?
I begged [11:08:13am12-28-09]. Are you playing in a tournament?
I asked Janez. Yeah.
She responded. What time do you play?
4:30
Said Janez. Later that evening after the game…
How did you do in the game?
I did good.
Janez replied. Did you get me those three points?
I reminded her. I got more than that.
She boasted. That’s what’s up.
I added. How do you feel?
I asked. I feel good.
She replied. What about you?
She insists. I didn’t get to see you play.
I cried. Maybe you will one day.
She encouraged me. I’m skrait.
I said speaking Ebonics. That’s good.
She argued. Dig That. Yep.
If I don’t get to see you much, you won’t understand. I warned her.
You might get to see me more than you think you are. She iterated.
That’s how I’m talking. I’m moving slow preparing myself. You think you can handle long distance relationship?
I ponder. Yea.
She exclaimed. You don’t like it?
I wondered. Yea.
She exclaimed. I done been in one before. I’m in one right now.
She elaborated. I never made it work.
I informed. It’s ok sometimes, but I just start getting frustrated and stuff when I can’t see him .
She cried. You can’t be serious!
I silently shouted. Yeah.
She continued. "You got to get used to talking with me. I suggested.
Yeah, I will start talking to you more… I know we really haven’t, since I gave you my number.
I get use to you it might be easy to trust you for a long time.
I said. Yeah, you can trust me.
She implied. [Text message to Maurice 12-29-09@3:23:03] Call dad and tell him I need to be to work at 5:oo pm.
