@cairo_DLS: Hey

@VeyaClairesse_: Hey yeah? what's up. sorry if I seen zoned you.

@cairo_DLS: HAHAHA that is okay...anyways about yesterday, what's now the plan? 

@VeyaClairesse_: to be really honest I have no idea, I also don't know what to expect because I can't predict the future, but I can make the present happen. 

@VeyaClairesse_: I love you Like I have loved someone before who you knew. and it scares me that you might not love me back because of the monsters and lies Jake told you. Don't deny it I know that you believe him... but let's be real and tell you how I really feel. 

@VeyaClairesse_:I love you, but if you don't love me the way I do...I understand. I won't force you but I will keep fighting for what I feel for you... but if it fades, it will never change the way I see you. I love you but if you do too... tell me to wait, tell me what makes your heartbeat twice for me... but I am afraid, and I know you too. but what matters to me is that you know that I love you, and that's worth a million memories we might make.

@cairo_DLS: Were fair, I feel the same way but I am too afraid...I am young, I am afraid I won't give you the love you need. I only thought of games and other shitty things I know might not come of interest to you. But I love you...and that what matters most. 

@VeyaClairesse_:we will still talk, right? 

@cairo_DLS: of course why won't we? 


"Why won't we?"Veya portrayed Cairo in a cheesy attitude jeez it's been two days Mira!" Veya exclaimed.  "Relax ate Veya, maybe he is just busy", she persuaded her. "it doesn't feel right I shouldn't have said I love you in the first place, I suck... I just suck at these." Veya replied. "No ate Veya, you just forgot how to move forward .... you love someone and you open your heart again and it probably feels new again for you." She explained to her. "I'm afraid to lose him" Veya shared. "then you really love him," Mira said. In Veya's head: " I'm taking advice from a smart 7th grader who made a huge point." 

"Alright!" a loud voice and full-on volume sir Adam spoke to the whole highschool department. Veya and Mira were absolutely in shock. There it was,  one whole class, again...waiting for updates of their second-semester projects, plans, and discussion. Veya tried looking for Cairo's screen and saw him... only half of his face, but in her head, she finds it cute. she couldn't refrain from smiling. 

*ding*

Mira sent a photo* 

A picture of Veya and Cairo's screen together...Veya was blushing red, Mira laughs so hard and teases her the whole entire class.

"Miraaaaaaa!!!!" Veya texted back. seen on the screen, Mira kept laughing. 

*ding* 

Nathan Cairo De Los Santos sent a message* 

Him: You look cute 

Her: awwwwww, hey take a look at this (Sends photo of their screens) 

Him: HAHAHAHAH cute! but you're cuter. 

Veya can't control her smile and her giggles her laughs that would be obvious through her screen. Once she smiled, her class might see or the whole school will definitely see. and it w2as embarrassing if they saw how she gets butterflies in her stomach. she daydreamed of her and Cairo sitting beside each other every class, watching him play ball, and eating lunch together and how she wishes that CoVid is over. she then also wondered why did they talk now? never before but why now why this time? where was he or where was she? it's like the famous sentence, "why haven't I noticed you before?" It's cheesy but the feeling was real. why didn't I make the first move before? 

The class was over, each and every student had to go back to their rooms, private rooms... and go back to reality. Before Veya went into her Private room, Cairo messaged her a photo: a selfie of him scrunching his nose with a face scrub filter from Snapchat. with a mini message saying... 

"don't be stressed today, my happy pill" and her heart went on cloud 9, went overboard went to the moon, and back to earth, replying to Cairo a selfie of her with teary cute eyes, with pouting lips. and he replied with a picture of his lock screen a photo of her as his screen saver. and it made her day! 

*ding* 

@cairo_DLS: wait for me okay? 

@VeyaClairesse_: I will
