She realized her mistake, but before she could delete her comment, she saw the gray dots indicating HotandCool was responding.

HotandCool: Pic shows hair very short!

Bigfan216: It’s from a couple of years ago. Acne is too bad now; no pics!

Karrie logged on.

HotandCool: hi!

klcLUV/007: hi back!

Bigfan216: hey, friend!

Katherine added “friend,” wanting to remind Karrie of their conversation last night.

klcLUV/007: hey, y’all at school?

She wasn’t going to respond to that question. She’d screwed up already talking about her long hair.

HotandCool: Study hall!

klcLUV/007: I’m home, I feel crappy.

Bigfan216: Like crappy how? You got a cold or something?

klcLUV/007: cramps.

HotandCool: sorry, not good.

Bigfan216: ugh, that sucks.

klcLUV/007: part of being female. Guys couldn’t handle it! :>)

SKRfan4evr: What’s up? I’m in English class. booor-rring!

HotandCool: klcLUV/007 has her period. Cramps. She gets to skip school.

SKRfan4evr: Cool, at least ur not pregnant!

klcLUV/007: Not hardly!!!

HotandCool: I think klcLUV/007 is a V-I-R-G-I-N!!!!

Bigfan216: Not our biz.

WHS524: You’re all disgusting. This is a book discussion page only—no personal issues allowed. I’m reporting all of you to the moderator. You all act like whores.

HotandCool: Hey, screw off, old man. Yeah, I read your profile. WTF are YOU doing here?

Katherine considered switching to her other profile used for moderating but didn’t think she’d use it just yet. These were kids expressing themselves in their own way. She agreed with HotandCool.Whywasan older man on her fan page? While she appreciated readers of all ages worldwide, he was bossy. She decided then that she wasn’t very fond of WHS524, but she’d let him slide for now.

WHS524: You’re all disgusting. I’ll make sure every one of you is removed from this page! You just wait.

SKRfan4evr: whatcha gonna do, old man? Delete us??? Hunt us down and eat us alive?

Bigfan216: I say we forget this conversation!!! He’s just tryin’ to piss us off.

klcLUV/007: I agree with Darby, uh, Bigfan216. Sorry!
