When I woke up I looked outside my window to see if Dae's window was open, I wasn't sure which floor he lived in so I just looked around till I saw an open window.  I guess he was still asleep, I mean it's only 7am so maybe he's not much of any early bird like me.

"You seem to be like a morning person?" - Dae

I looked at my phone and grabbed it. Wait how does he see me? I looked back at my window and looked around. Oh shit......second floor. I hit myself on my forehead and just improvised with what I was really doing, hopefully he didn't notice me looking for him.

"Yah I sure am, just looking at the morning view." - Jackielyn

"It's nice to see your face first thing in the morning (sun emoji)." - Dae

"Omg your such a tease, I look like a complete mess what are you talking about." - Jackielyn

"Stop it Jack, your beautiful no matter what." - Dae

"Well thank you Dae, you sure know how to brighten my day." - Jackielyn

"(Smiley face with warm pink cheeks emoji)" - Dae

"Do you want me to give you a little tour of our school today?" - Dae

"Sure I'd love that :)" - Jackielyn

"Okay see you then." - Dae

I start to then get ready, putting on a little bit of makeup, and eating a bowl of honey nut cheerios with almond milk afterwards. Today I just wore a denim dress along with a cropped denim jacket and white sneakers. Then I drove my way to school arriving there at exactly 8:48am. 

During my third period I get a text from Dae. I didn't want to get distracted while my professor is talking and text Dae but I also didn't want to reply to him later on and have him be confused. So I just quickly checked the message and replied as I covered my phone with my binder.

"Hey wanna meet me at the bench?" - Dae

"Sorry I'm in class rn, maybe give me like 15 more mins or so?" - Jackielyn

"Yah now worries I will wait for you :)" - Dae

"Ok thank you (yellow heart emoji) - Jackielyn

So once my class was done I quickly ran down the stairs to the bench where we met and while I was walking my way there I saw a girl sitting beside Dae laughing. I mean I wasn't like jealous or anything I was just surprise and curious towards who she might be to him. So I walk my way towards them.

"Hii Dae." I said waving my hand to him - Jackielyn

I looked at both of them feeling a bit awkward being in the middle of their little bond. 

"Heyy Jackielyn umm this is Louise." he says a little nervously - Dae

"Hi Louise I'm Jackielyn." I said shaking her hand - Jackielyn

"Hey I've heard quite a bit about you from Dae." - Louise

"Oh really." I said raising my brows - Jackielyn

"Yah it's really cute actually." she says looking at Dae - Louise

"So are you also new here?" I asked Louise - Jackielyn

"Oh I actually don't go here I just came to visit Dae, I go to UOT (University Of Toronto)." - Louise

"Awh that's nice, are you guys........" - Jackielyn

"No we are just really close friends, me and Dae have known each other since freshman year of high school." - Louise 

"Wow high school best friends that's quite rare." - Jackielyn

"I know right, I guess I just got lucky with this one." she says smiling at Dae - Lousie

It was kind of weird just standing there and looking at the both of them. Dae seemed a bit nervous and quite since I walked in. I looked at Dae

"Umm Dae I think you can just show me around another time so you could spend time with Louise, I wouldn't want to ruin your plans." I said with a soft voice - Jackielyn

"Oh are you sure I told you I would...." - Dae

"No it's ok there is time I'm not so busy through this week so you can show me around another day." I said interrupting him - Jackielyn

"Oh I didn't know you guys have plans." - Louise

"It's ok Louise neither did I know. I'll just go right now so I don't bug you guys anymore, it was nice meeting you Louise. Bye Dae" I said feeling quite upset - Jackielyn

I walked away towards the parking lot thinking deeply. Why do I feel upset, was it because of the change of plans or him being with another girl? I shouldn't feel anything more or less with Dae, he's just a friend (I say to myself). During my drive home all I could think about was what had happened with Dae and his friend Louise, I don't know if I was being a little rough or assertive to knowing who Louise is but I was just guess curious or was it more than just my curiosity.........
