Binary Seven

Same old day, same old routine, and same old life. My life isn't interesting to begin with. And my mind is set to one goal, I want to be perfect but more like needed to be perfect. Although perfection is just human's delusion. Nevertheless, I can't seem to correct the people who wanted me to be perfect. I was like a canary living in a cage of perfection. If I can't be perfect, I would be alone again. I don't want that, I hate it. High hopes and high expectations, they don't seem to notice the pressure they put on me. But probably they don't really mind nor really care about how I really feel.My emotions have nothing to do with it. A powerful household, what can you expect? That's how the world works. Yet despite that, I admire the earth. It keeps on rotating every single time, nonstop. Even though the humans forgot their responsibility to nature. Abusing the natural resources, killing animals to the point of extinction, a war that never ends.

But despite the emotions she was feeling, she chooses to bottle all of it inside deep in her heart where no one can find it.It was a sad thing for a teenage girl who grew up in a perfect family where a mother is a well-known doctor, a father is a famous engineer and a brother who's a real genius. She came from a very well-known family, lynch family to be exact.That's why many have high expectations for her.

The school was over, she decided to go to the old building's rooftop since no one went there anymore. She wasn't afraid of the rumor that you can hear the strange noise from the bathroom, a child crying in the hallway nor the flicking of the lights. After all, she has been coming often in that building to sort of her emotions.So basically the rumors were all false or it's just what she believed.

Luckily for her, the door wasn't locked, she holds the dusty old doorknob and opened the door. The fresh wind greeted her face as the wind blew her hair.She stands near the rail and gaze at the beautiful garden and appreciated the breath-taking view. After appreciating the beauty of mother nature. She breathes deeply and clasped the rail.

"I hate this life!"She shouted to her lungs content." I want to be a normal teenage girl!!!!"

"Shut the hell up," someone shouted from behind. She straightened."Oh my Gosh," she muttered."T-The r-rumors were tr-true?!" She didn't dare to look back because she was freaking scared. She feels like her soul is gonna depart from her body any moment.

"I-I'm s-sorry. Are you perhaps Casper? The friendly ghost?"She bravely asked.

"Tch, you're really an idiot" he commented. She was about to argue when she heard a cracking sound from behind. She immediately looked back and to her surprise, it wasn't ghosted but a lad getting up from the bench. She lost her breath for a moment. A guy wearing a black tuxedo and a messy hair is truly quite a view.She wasn't able to glimpse the whole face of the lad but she was able to see that boring oceanic blue eyes. The guy walked away as if she didn't matter. And folks our heroine left embarrassed by herself.Yet she can't bring herself to forget those oceanic blue eyes that swallowed her soul.

She contacted her personal driver to fetch her from her University. As she arrived in her household, maids and butlers await her at the door. She greeted them with a sincere smile. She was that kind. She wasn't like those spoiled brats with rotten personality. A humble lady with a kind heart, she is.

"Where's mom and dad?" she questioned Henna, her nanny.

Henna took her coat and answered,"Mrs. Lynch and Mr. Lynch are still at work but your brother is at his study room"

"Is that so? Thank you, nanny - ah by the way , I won't be eating dinner today ."I informed her. She gave me an apologetic smile . That's how it is. I can't blame them , all they want was a bright future for their children even though they forgot the basic need of a child - a parent's love and affection . When we focus on things that money can buy , we started to forget the things that are priceless, things that are fundamental. The basics of all basics.

I went to my room and had a quick bath.My mind started to flood with thoughts.

By the end of the day , no one knows the real you but yourself.

No one can save you from the pain you have been through but yourself.

No one can feel the fire in your heart nor the roaring of your beast but yourself.

We tend to forget to put first ourselves when every time we stumble on a big rock, we were saved by ourselves.

7:00 p.m

After all my evening rituals , instead of answering all my textbook in advance , I turned on my laptop to kill some time. I wasn't the type of person to slack off but I don't know why but today it was different. I heard a warning tone coming from my laptop and to my surprise a green numbers started to pop in.

0111001101100101011101100110010101100101

0111001101100101011101100110010101100101

01110011011001010111011001100101 01100101

01110011011001010111011001100101 01100101

I've seen these numbers before - a binary code. I tried my best to read it and diligently translated it. I have quite a knowledge in this area since my idiot brother used to taught me about program and computer stuff but not as good as him.After translating the code , I was puzzle to my discovery. The binary numbers can be read as seven.I tried to regain access in my laptop. It was hard since these binary number keeps on popping , someone was hacking my laptop! It takes a while before I finally activate the firewall protection and have fully access to my laptop.I survey some important documents on my laptop , to my relief it was still there . There's no virus nor any of my apps , documents, and files that are tampered.

Ding~

You have one mail from Seven.

I hurriedly opened the mail .I need to deal with this jerk. I nearly break down. I thought it was a ghost or probably it is a ghost. Oh God , I had enough with those horror movies .

7:20 P.M

Dear Owner ,

I am quite impressed with your skill. Although I just went easy on you lolol. Be glad I was being kind not to tamper your files.

-S E V E N

This whatsoever creature. I am honestly annoyed by his cockiness and arrogant personality. Gosh is he mocking me? Is he making fun of me?

7:23 pm

Dear Binary Seven,

I do not know who you are but you are quite a jerk to mess with someone's personal gadget. I do not know if your mocking me with my computer skill but I am very well oriented . Thank you . And I hate that cockiness of yours.

I clicked the sent button and waited for the reply. But I wasn't really hoping for another reply since that whatsoever creature is a total stranger but to my surprise, it replied after a few minutes.

7:28 Pm

Dear Owner ,

"Binary Seven ," You are quite amusing lil miss , the jerk part got me off guard lolol . I would much appreciate to just call me S E V E N or s e v e n . I would feel like a robot if you keep on calling me Binary Seven .I was quite flustered when you replied because honestly I did not expect a response from an owner whose laptop I just hacked a moment ago.

-S E V E N

I chuckled when I read his response . We thought the same thing. Such a funny person . I clicked the reply bottom and started typing.

7:30 Pm

Dear Seven ,

I'm glad we thought the same thing seven or perhaps are you reading my mind ?  You're quite funny yourself seven . I couldn't bring myself to ignore your mail since this is the first time someone hacked my laptop.And I would prefer you call me Caprianna since I know you already seen my name in my email.I have a question , are you perhaps a guy?

Ding~ A mail from S E V E N

7:35 PM

Dear Caprianna ,

Hmm.. Caprianna , a very nice name and sorry about that .I'm a mind reader lil miss(whisper). If I told you I'm a gay that would make the plot twist interesting , whaddya say? But sadly I'm a hot lad lolol . This incident is purely coincidence , I do not wish to invade a beautiful lady's personal gadget . I hacked your laptop by accident only . I was kind of embarrassed but I rarely make some mistake.

- S E V E N

He really is quite indeed a funny person. A jolly person , I assume. I chuckled at his mail . It's been a long time since the last time I enjoyed exchanging mails with someone.

7:40 Pm

Dear Seven ,

A mind reader and a hot lad , you say? The earth would be jealous if you claimed those traits at the same time . And if the leading man isn't straight that would terrify the heroine. Probably the heroine would flip . Did you say that hacked my laptop by mistake? It's alright , since I was able to test my computer skills.May I know your real name?

I don't know why but I suddenly takes interest at the person's real identity but I know deep down it's impossible since I'm just a total stranger.

7:45 Pm

Dear Caprianna ,

So you're saying I am the leading man and you are the heroine ? We would make the best movie show if we will be the cast. And don't worry too much about the earth I'm sure it will understand me because I'm a hot lad lololol. And so you're saying , I basically became the first person to test out your skills .I may suggest you need to upgrade your firewall protection to beat me though.

-S E V E N

I read his response and he totally brushed off the last part of my mail. I'm a little disappointed but I totally see it coming. But he really indeed is arrogant .

7:54 Pm

Dear Seven ,

Thank you for the suggestion . I will keep that in mind. Maybe the next time , I will be the one attacking you using a pro level algorithm to hack your system. So better be careful ^^ 

I should ask help to my brother about the upgrading of my firewall and let him teach me some counterattack for hackers . I giggle at the idea . If I get to hack his system then I will know his identity.

~Ding

7:59 Pm

Dear Caprianna ,

I take that as a challenge , yeah? I, the hot lad seven , humbly accept your challenge. I will be looking forward when the time comes. I have fun chatting with you lil miss . I hope we will meet again. Until then , for now this is a goodbye. I'll be off then.

-S E V E N

I read his mail . I guess he was a busy person . Oh my Gosh! What if he works at some kind of organization or a secret agent? Or what if he's an old geezer?! He did called me lil miss , assuming he might be older than me. I let my imagination run wild , faster and wilder than the lion.

8:10 Pm

Dear Seven,

Thank you also for your time .I also had fun talking to you. See you then. Have a good night.

After typing ,I click the send button and was about to open my textbook when I heard an error tone in my laptop. I gaze at my laptop and my eyes were widen to my shock. I accidentally drop my pen to my surprise .

!Mail not sent. This email doesn't exist..!

Little did she know, that night would change her life forever. Last night , she wasn’t able to send the mail to the person named seven.

The next day she tried to contact the hacker but she wasn’t able to reach that person . She even asked help to her brother but her brother wasn’t able to find a single trace of that person who called himself seven. He is just a stranger, she thought. But deep inside , she wanted to talk once again about that person.
