I look down at my phone.
me: emelyyyyyyy
Emely: whaaaat

Emely: me tooooooooo <3

Emely: i just got to the beachhhh :)))
me: im going to magically fall into ur arms and we’ll live happily ever after
Emely: yass. besties for life<3 :)

Emely: me tooooooooo <3 see u soon :*
I put down my phone, on my lap. I look over at Mom in the driver’s seat, who’s looking at her phone.
“Mom! No texting while driving! I want to see Emely first before I die,” I say.
Mom sighs and puts down her phone. “Sweetie, you aren’t going to die.”
I slouch in my chair. “Where are we?”
Mom checks the GPS. “10 minutes from the beach, sit tight.”
I grin. Emely and I met on ROBLOX two years ago, in 4th grade. Ever since, we’ve been the best friends, even when we are two states a part. I live in Massachuettes, she lives in Delaware. Her mom and my mom finally agreed on meeting each other, after thousands of beggings and lectures on not to meet strangers online.
But they’re wrong. Meeting a stranger and becoming best friends is the best idea in the universe. I couldn't of met a better person than Emely.
I looked outside. Delaware looked pretty similar to Massachusetts. I guess. A lot of trees. Hilly.
My phone chimed, and I looked at the time first. 10:23am. Five more minutes. Five more minutes. Until the best day of my life comes into action.
Five.
More.
Minutes.
I take a deeeep breath in, and out. Then I actually look at the text. It’s from my older sister, Alice.
Alice: Good luck!! :)
me: tysm <3
Alice: Np… send me a selfie of you guys after. :)
me: trust me, we’re gonna take A LOT of selfies >:)))
Alice: Haha, ttyl.
me: byeeeeee
I looked at the again. Four more minutes.
