You go upstairs so you are alone. You sit down on your bed and turn on the screen of your iPad. "Dang it!" You say when you see that the battery of your iPad just died. You stand up and open the drawer where the charger should be in. You pick it up and charge your iPad. While it's charging you start thinking about what happened. "I finally got a crush!" You think. With a giant smile on your face, you lie down on your bed and think about him. "He is really handsome... And so cute! But the smile disappears when you think about what happened after that. When you petted the screen, you touched his shirt. But you didn't feel the cold glass, but... Cotton? Nah.. Must've been my imagination. You lie on your bed for some more time, and then, you fall asleep.
-3 hours later-
You wake up by your moms voice yelling that you have to come eat dinner. You yawn and stand up. You feel your hair is completely ruined. "Whatevs..." You think while you walk to the stairs. When you come in the kitchen, you see the rest of the family already is at the table waiting for you. You sit down. "Why is your hair like that?" Your mom asks. "What did you do upstairs?" "Well.. Er..." You start when you suddenly think about 'him' again and get a smile on your face. "Well?!" Your mom says with a bit anger mixed in her voice. "I was just.. Doing homework." You say and start eating. Shit! Your homework! You totally forgot! How long have you been sleeping? Tomorrows math test is going to be a disaster! "Did you really do your homework?" Your dad asks. "Or were you watching YouTube videos again? You know how I think about that. You can't reach anything with watching dumb videos. It's just a waste of your time!" "No I wasn't and it aren't just dumb videos dad! That guys make youtube videos as their career! It's their job!" You say a little frustrated. "And I help them!" "How?" "Well... I subscribed to their channels and I share their videos and..." "Do you really think they see you as an individual? You're just one person in the giant crowd! They don't even notice you!" "Yes I know..." You say so he would stop nagging.
-after dinner-
You walk on the stairs with your phone in your hand. "Shit!" You say when you almost drop it. When you arrive upstairs, you walk into your room and check the percentage of your iPad. It's at 98%. "Good enough." You say as you put the charger back into the drawer and switch on the iPad. While it's loading you get your math book and open it. You sit on your bed with your iPad and your math book on your lap. You click the 'Safari' app and enter 'Youtube' in the search bar at the top of the screen. After a second of loading, you click the 'going back to my old house' video and watch from the point where the battery died. With half your interest at the video, you try to understand at least something of tomorrows test. After a few minutes of solving problems of people who want to buy 60 watermelons and don't have enough money, you get really into it and almost forget your iPad which lies next to you. While thinking about another math problem, you put your hand on your iPad. You quickly pull it back. Eww... You felt something really weird... You look at your iPad. The video is still playing. A bit unsure, you put your hand on the screen again. On his shirt. You feel it again. Something soft... Like.. Cotton... You move your hand up. You touch his face. You feel something warm... Skin.... You move your hand to the right and now, you can push your entire arm into the screen...
