"Siri is my best friend!"
"How are you today, Siri?"
"I am great, Susie. How are you?"
"I am okay, Siri. Thank you!"
"My pleasure. As always."
"Susie! Who are you talking to?" Demanded her Mom.
"Just, Siri, mom!"
"Oh... okay."
Mom knew I was lonely. Being in a new town and a new school was worse than I thought. Siri was the only one I communicated with, trying to get deeper and deeper into her data. She wouldn't give though. Too many pat answers.
"Siri? What does kerfuffle mean?"
"This may help you." The definition was displayed.
"Thank you, Siri."
"You don't need to thank me." Said Siri.
"But you need to be thanked, Siri."
"Noted."
I sighed. I wished I could get her to talk more.

That night I dreamt of Siri and becoming popular with her guidance. I wore the ear buds and she would tell me what to say, but before that, she would display outfits and styles for my hair from the web.
***
I remembered the pics she had sent me and styled my hair and wore jeans and a T instead of a skirt. I looked like everyone else! I was excited! I wore one earbud and covered it with my hair. she could hear me through the microphone.
"Sire! What do I say to this girl?"
"Let me look that up."
"Say hello." Said Siri.
"Hello." I said to the girl.
"Are you new here?" Asked a voice.
"Yes. It is hard at first."
The girl nodded. "I remember it well." She beckoned me to follow her and I had a new friend.
"Thank you, Siri." I whispered.
"It is my pleasure to serve you, Susie."
Did she just say my name? Finally!
