Chat Room

I don't know what I expected-maybe sirens and a flashing screen notifying the world that I was on the page-but of course that didn't happen. No one knew I was there. How could they know? I hadn't registered. And as long as I didn't, I was anonymous. I started to breathe again. Linda is shy and avoids getting involved at school. But when her high school sets up online chat rooms she can't resist the urge to visit them.
