The next guy actually started out by messaging me in my main account (Rose), not Maria's. He messaged me with a hi.

Him: hi

Me: *rolls my eyes* hlo
Him: hi
Me: yeah hi

*Did he forget he already said a hi before?*

Him: wassup?
*Oh nothing much, just chatting around with some dumbass pedophiles like you*
Him: oi

That sounds so dumb. Like literally, I find it quite dumb when people say 'oi' to me (especially perverts). Do they really expect us to be online 24/7 like they are? Nah I've work to do, I'm not useless like these people.

Me: nothing much.

Him: busy?
*If so?*

Me: yeah kinda, why?

Him: to chat. To know you more.
*Also known as flirting*

Me: ah ok
*Decides to play the 'innocent- kiddish- Rose- who- doesn't- understand- anything'*

Him: what are you doing?

*Chatting with you.... If that isn't obvious?*

Me: just chatting with friends.

Him: are you studying?

I misunderstood his question and thought he asked me if I was currently studying, but actually, he had meant if I'm in school or work.

Me: no

Him: then?

Me: chatting...

Him: no not that. How old are you?

*100. I just look a little younger than my age. Or maybe I've turned into a vampire, who knows.*

Me: oh I'm 15

*Yooo fooled you I'm actually 14 hahaha! Ok that was stupid.*

Him: you're in 10th?
Can you accept my request?

*Deletes his follow request*

Me: ya.
Not allowed to accept requests from anyone other than schoolmates.

Him: ohh
*I can imagine his 'PLINGGG' reaction*

Him: you followed me right, that's why I messaged you.

Ok first of all, I follow people only because we've some mutual friends, and for him to follow me back, not for him to MESSAGE me! Is this dumbass dumb??

Oh God, why are people so stupid sometimes, and make their intentions so obvious?

Me: ah let me see.
Him: aah

Me: I think I followed you mistakenly, because you were in my suggestions.

*That doesn't mean that I wanted to message you or for you to message me.*

Him: ah
So...
Do your messages get checked?

*Yes! Here it is, see? His intentions slowly start to reveal themselves... Why should he know if my messages get checked? That means he's upto something.

My messages don't get checked though. Fortunately.*

Me: who?

Him: anyone?
In your house?
Boyfriend?

*Ew I'll never have a freaking boyfriend. Especially at this age, NEVER. I hate the idea of dating or marriage.*

By the next chats, he really did reveal his real personality.

Him: do they?

Me: no only my parents might check sometimes.
*Never. They never do.*

Me: I don't have a boyfriend.
*Even if I do, won't be you anyways.*

Him: ohh

It's after this ohh of his that a whole new thing, that I've never actually experienced with other perverts before, happened. He proceeded to switch on vanish mode - the chat turns black and after we see a message and exit Instagram, that message gets deleted automatically. So, basically, he was being totally creepy, just like I expected.

He did this because he didn't want my parents - in case they checked my phone - to see his messages. So he put on this vanish mode and asked me this.

Him: I'm switching on vanish mode.

Me: why?

Him: because I'll ask really personal questions... So if your parents check they might see it.

*Yeah got it. I know that already.*

Me: like what personal questions?

Him: I will be very personal. I won't be my good boy self here, I'll be my real self. So can I ask?

*Oh so that means you're not really a good boy, and your actual self is a bad one, huh?*

Me: no, no need. I won't answer personal questions.

*I turn on danger mode*

Him: okay.

He then switched back to the real mode, making the whole chat in between get disappeared and deleted forever. I couldn't take a photo then, because if I did, since it's vanish mode, it might show that I took a screenshot.

Him: ok. I'll be my good guy self.

*Oh man you're serially belittling yourself by saying that, like you know for yourself that you aren't good!*

Me: ok.

*Go fuck yourself. I don't give a shit if you're a bad guy, I'm worse than that if you trigger me. You really don't want to trigger on my VERY danger mode, alright?*

Him: I don't fake.
So bye.

*You don't fake being a good guy and is instead being your real self of a bad guy. I don't know what's worse, being a bad guy for real or acting like you're a good guy when you're bad beneath. The guy in the chapter before this was the latter - being all good and then blaming Maria when she pranked him. He still didn't accept that he did the wrong.

This guy, on the other hand, was as bad as that itself, but in a different way. Oh the irony of being an internet vigilante, you get to meet different types of bad guys, tadaa!

*Giggles and claps sarcastically*

Me: ok. Bye.

*Now go learn 'How to talk to an online stranger by being my good self'. You should really learn that 'I'm innocent' stuff from Sam.*

After this, I waited a whole month to prank him and heave a really hard one back at him through my Maria account. See how patient I am? Oof.

I switched to the Maria account and followed the guy, who instantly followed back. I didn't bother to message him; I, for a fact, clearly knew the psychology of him already.

Remember, he said that he messaged me because I followed him, and secondly, of course because I'm a girl (though he didn't say that, I knew it).

So, Maria being that 'hot and seductive' young girl, didn't really need to send him a message. He will gradually send her instead.

As expected, he sent Maria a hi.

Him: hy

*Hi asshole! I'm back!!*

Me: hello

Him: how r u?

*Just damn great*

Me: nice.

Him: where r u from?

*Uganda*

Me: Bangalore.
What about you?

*I don't really care but okay*

Him: Kerala.
Y half Indian?

*Well, half of my body is tanned and the other half is pale, any problem? Duh guess why, idiot.*

Me: bcoz dad is Indian.
And knows (my language)

*My first language isn't English, but I know English well enough that it's like it flows in my blood. So it's also like a first language to me.*

Him: ok. Mom?

*The guy must be planning to arrange a marriage with Maria and that's why he's asking for her parents' details.*

Me: Australian.

*Pure lies! Not a little drop of Australian*

Him: great.
Do you know (my language)?

*Obviously, I do. But here, I'm Maria, so no.*

Me: kind of.

*I'm wheezing to death, this must've been the worst joke I ever said. Me, not knowing my own language? Me who scores full marks in my language? Nah I'm kidding myself.*

Him: can we chat in (my language)?

*I just told you that Maria doesn't know it well*

Me: yeah but I'll reply in English.
I don't speak, I can only understand.

*Ok, keep calm, don't laugh, I'm just joking*

Him: okay.
Ok.

Me: K

*L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z*

Him: I will teach you (my language).

*What, are you my teacher? Get lost*

Him: did you have food?

*Yes, I had your brain cells for breakfast, which is exactly why you're being so dysfunctional and dumb right now. Sorry not sorry.*

Me: oh ok. (Replying to his 'I will teach you' message).

Me: yeah (to his 'did you have food?' message)

Him: what did you have for lunch?

*Oh lunch, I ate your retina. That's why you're blind sometimes.*

Me: um means what I had?

*I decide to play dumb and not know my own language*

Him: yh.

Me: rice.

Him: ok. So. Is that u in the profile?

*No, that's actually a model who's popular in Instagram and you still can't figure her out.*

Me: yeah, why?

Him: beautiful.

*I don't need your compliment, I know Maria's beautiful okay.*

Him: but not look like Indian or Australian.

*You don't look like you've ever went to school either.*

Me: oh many people tell me that.

*You know, I'm quite famous around here. Maria Thomas the hot popular girl.*

Me: thanks.

Him: ohh, ur age?

*Five. Maria just looks older than she is because she's way matured than you are.*

Me: 16.

*I don't even know why, sixteen is just my favourite age for some reason. It won't be my favourite after I write my exams during that time though.*

Me: yours?

Him: 21.
*Okay. Pedophile 100% then. First messaging a 14 year old and now a 16 year old.*

Him: boyfriend?
*Damon Salvatore. You better fuck off or he will suck your blood using his hot sharp vampire fangs.*

Me: oh ok.
Nope.

Him: girlfriend?

*Great, he thinks Maria is gay.*

Me: no no I'm straight😂😂

*Obviously I'm not curved.*

Him: oh. Can u send a voice message if u don't mind?

*I do mind.*

Also, notice how he didn't bother to notice the humour in my reply before? And never laughs? He's so serious like his main thing is only this - to get to Maria. He doesn't care about any other extra chats. I hate such characteristics.

The same went for Sam from before. He too never noticed the slight humour in any of my chats and just answered formally, like a guy who's only interested in getting Maria. Yuck.

Me: I'm not allowed to😅 and parents r nearby.

Him: hey.
Just something pls.

*Seriously? In my main account, he asked me if my parents check my chats, probably not wanting them to see his creepiness, but now he doesn't care about Maria's parents? Idiot.*

Me: I can't...

Him: 😓😓
Disappointed.

*I know, you want to keep forcing or convincing but Maria isn't the type to fall for that shit.*

Me: I khow but I just can't.

*And won't*

Him: r u really girl?

*Yep. I'm a girl in the form of another girl who reveals herself as a guy at last. So technically, you're still gonna be in a false belief that I'm a guy even after the prank is done.*

After this, I grew impatient and quickly just revealed myself using my usual sentences.

Me: no lol I'm a boy, get lost perv, I know what your problem is and I obviously know (my language) very well too XD so go and die you jerk.

*At last, I decided to put just one more message to him and end it by blocking him.*

Me: btw if you want a boyfriend I'm here😘

*Blocks*

When I sent this last screenshot to my friends Sam and Riley, they were laughing and wheezing from that final message I sent.

"Oh my God Rose, I can't believe you -" Sam laughed heartily, while Riley kept spamming me with a laughing emoji and XD's.
