Chapter 41: Online Message
Emma replied to PB’s message.
‘Thank you, PB. But I still replace it. This is the screenshot and you can also check whether the money has been properly entered or not in your account. Our problem is solved now. Sorry to bother you. Good evening.’
Send!
After Kathy finished showering, she let Emma use her bathroom, towels, toiletries, and pyjamas.
This was the first time Emma had borrowed this much of someone else’s stuff. This was her first experience of having friends to get this close. She felt really happy.
As soon as Emma finished showering, she found Kathy sitting cross-legged on her light blue gaming chair in front of the computer. Emma walked over to her.
“Where should I put the towels?” asked Emma.
.....
“Just put it in that bunny basket.” Kathy pointed to a basket of dirty bunny-patterned clothes next to the bathroom door. Emma nodded and did.
“Have you lost your hangover? You really want to continue playing the computer again?” Emma looked at her in surprise.
Kathy chuckled, “My head still hurts.. But I won’t be able to sleep peacefully if I haven’t fiddled with my computer before going to bed.” She answered. Then, she seemed to remember something. “Ah.. Emma, ??do you like playing games?”
Emma frowned slightly, “When I was little I used to play games a few times. But now I don’t play that kind of stuff anymore.” She answered. Emma’s time had been too tight and serious. She and her family never spend time playing games.
“Really? But you have to try a game made by the IT seniors at our university. They made it for the final practical exam. Everyone can vote. And especially for Jardin University students, the voter will be drawn at the end of the event and the winner will get present.” She explained.
Then Kathy fiddled with her computer for a while and entered a web page. It was a special site for Jardin University’s IT department. Then she stood up from her chair, “Come here, Emma. Give it a try. Then, you can vote using your student account.”
“I don’t know if I can play it or not. I haven’t played a game in a very long time..”
“Relax, Emma. There’s no need to worry.. It’s just a simple game. You just need to give it a little try. It’s really fun!” Cut Kathy.
Emma was already sitting in her chair while Kathy flicked the computer mouse and selected one of five games for the first try. Then she straightened her back before pushing Emma’s chair closer to the computer screen.
“How? It’s fun, right?” Kathy asked, happy to see Emma looking serious playing those games.
Emma nodded, “There were some tough parts. But it was really fun.” She laughed.
“They’re really great, aren’t they? I’m also learning to make games. But I just make it a sideline. Because I think hacking is more important.” Kathy said.
Finally, Emma finished trying all her games. Then she chose one of the games that she thought was the most exciting. Emma took it very seriously. She choose the game that has the best graphics, the most fun way to play, the most suitable music, the easiest to understand the explanation, and the most appropriate level of difficulty according to the information suggested by the player’s age.
“Wow.. You’re very selective as a judge.” Kathy looked admiration and surprised.
Emma chuckled as she scratched her non-itchy head “I don’t like to choose randomly. Moreover, our voices affect their grades.” Kathy nodded in understanding.
When Kathy was about to close the page. At a glance, Emma saw one of the account names that caught her attention on the list of accounts that had already rated the game she had voted for.
“Wait. Isn’t that Roger’s account?” Emma pointed to the computer screen.
“Roger? Oh, your friend from the lunch earlier?” then Kathy clicked on the account that Emma pointed.
Right. It was Roger Timothy’s account.
“He chose the same game as me. He has good taste too.” Emma smiled.
Kathy looked at Emma and blinked. From the smile and the look in her eyes, Emma seemed to really care about the guy named Roger. Even though from what Kathy saw this afternoon, Roger seemed to ignore Emma a lot. But it seems she has a special place in Emma’s heart.
“That Roger.. Do you like him? Or do you two happen to be relatives? Or are you good friends?” Kathy asked innocently as if she were guessing.
Emma shook her head, “I don’t know what we should be called. I consider him my friend. But I don’t know what he thinks of me.” She answered honestly.
“Woah.. It’s like unrequited love. So, do you like him or not? I can see.. that he looks careless. But doesn’t that guy look.. well.. a bit geeky?”
Emma smiled faintly, “I don’t love Roger, Kathy. But somehow, I have special feelings for him. When I see Roger, I feel like I see the old me, but in a different state. Roger looks like someone who is trapped in a situation where he couldn’t get out from. It made me feel like helping him. I want to make him realize that he was in control to do anything in his life.”
Kathy seemed to think for a moment, “From your story, I’m becoming increasingly convinced that the guy was bullied.”
Emma didn’t answer. But from the girl’s face, it looks like she agrees with Kathy’s words.
Talking about Roger made Kathy, who once dreamed of being a detective when she was little, now becomes curious. Because of that, she tried to open Roger Timothy’s account even more deeply.
“Rather than dying of curiosity. Let’s see what kind of person he really is.” She mumbled with a wide grin.
“I-is it okay?” Emma gave a worried face. But she didn’t refuse Kathy’s invitation because she was also really curious. Even though Emma knew that their actions were wrong. They shouldn’t infiltrate into other people’s accounts.
“There’s nothing that Kathy can’t do.” The dishevelled-haired girl laughed. “Just hacking a small website like this is very easy. Moreover, hacking student accounts on campus sites. This job is a piece of cake. Don’t worry, Emma. This activity is impossible to be detected.”
Emma got up from Kathy’s chair, then she pulled out the small chair that was in front of the dressing table and sat down next to Kathy who had swapped chairs with her. She witnessed how shrewd the girl’s ten fingers fiddled with her computer until...
Bang!
They are already on Roger Timothy’s account as a Roger Timothy. It seemed that the guy was asleep because there was information that he was last online three hours ago.
Kathy turned her chair to face Emma, “Don’t worry, Emma. We’re not criminals. We’re just watching, not messing with Roger’s account.”
Emma nodded, smiling awkwardly.
Inside Roger’s student account, there wasn’t much to see. It contains only assignments that must be submitted online. Even though normally, student accounts are also often used by students to communicate with other campus friends. Because the university party also can’t open the students’ accounts.
You could say the student account had been set as a personal account. Even, these accounts could also be connected to students’ personal social media and emails.
“Looks like he doesn’t have many friends, does he..?” Kathy muttered.
Suddenly, a chat notification appeared at the right bottom of the screen. Kathy had arranged for Roger’s account to remain offline even though they were opening it. Who texted that guy this early in the morning?
“There’s an incoming chat,” Emma muttered.
“Should we take a look?” Kathy asked. But, even though Emma hadn’t answered yet, Kathy had opened the chat, “Even if we open it, we won’t be caught either. Don’t worry, my application is very safe for spying on people. Haha..” she laughed.
“Wait a minute.. Did you get into my account too?” Emma looked at her suspiciously.
Kathy casually nodded, “I did, when the first time I talked with you. It seems that you rarely open your student account, huh? But there are a lot of college boys who send you messages. And you didn’t serve them at all.. Haha.. You are indeed a woman’s role model!”
“You are...” Emma didn’t know what else to say to the girl.
“Hey, Emma! Look at this,” Kathy leaned back with a surprised face.
“Hmm?” Emma then read the contents of the new message that had been opened by Kathy.
It was a message from a man with an account called Carter Barewood. He was a senior in the Broadcasting major. He was also known as a delinquent student with a body full of tattoos. He was also the Baseball and Karate club boy.
‘Roger! This Wednesday at the regular warehouse at five in the afternoon. If you don’t come, I will break your leg.’
