She starts spending a lot of time online so one day a strange name IMs her…the.boy020107 and the thing that is so strange about it is that the numbers were the exact date her boyfriend died on, in this situation she becomes lost and confused and eventually finds a new friend.

Preview: 3rd Person
Chapter 1(maybe)
The first time Delilah and John met was their life snapshot. The Kansas sun shined above in the pristine blue sky. The navy blue lake glimmered back and the water stood at stand-still. The girl stripped of her t-shirt and sunglasses and dived off the old wooden dock. Snap! With her black- bikini-clad body in mid air in a graceful dive position, John watched and studied the new girl in town. There he sat, inches away from the lake on the hot grass, getting sprinkled with warm lake water watching her come up and gasp for air. As Delilah’s eyes adjusted they focused on the boy her age staring at her. She smiled nervously before pulling herself out of the water.
That night Delilah nearly finished unpacking. Moving from Suffield, Connecticut to Small-town, Kansas had been one of the most difficult times of her life. Moving here would be like starting over for Delilah, like a new life without the Suffield Academy tigers at her side. Just before Delilah was about to slice open the last cardboard box her mother called from downstairs. “It’s time to go to dinner with the neighbors, sweetie.”
“And make sure you look nice,” her dad added from the back of the house.
“Who are we going to see?”
“Some old friends ours, actually they have a boy that’s your age.”
The house just happened to be just next to theirs, she thought it would at least be a 2-minute car drive.
Chapter 2: 1st person Delilah
Everything came across me so quickly. The moment I was drug through the door, two strangers hugged me and introduced themselves as Mr. and Mrs. O’Leary. My eyes studied the house, it was the exact same as ours, except not as empty and well decorated. I heard footsteps come from the direction of where the stairs would be. I looked up to see a badly sun burnt boy carrying a guitar standing next to his parents.
“And this is our son, John,” Mrs. O’Leary introduced. He extended his hand, I quickly shook it.
“I’m Delilah,” I threw out quickly.
“Well, why don’t you two go upstairs, watch some television or maybe John you could show Delilah that computer you obsess over,” Mr. O’Leary suggested.
John gestured up the stairs and I followed. As I climbed the creamy carpeted staircase I watched his black Samba sneakers confidently step up as he held his guitar in one hand. As we made it to the top of the stairs he showed me his room. John’s room was about the same size as mine. A quilted blue, black, and ivory quilt was spread over the top of the loft bed and underneath
