friday, may 25th

today is the day of chris and i's library date.

he said 1pm but i'd like to be ready by 12:30, just in case.

i woke up at exactly 9am, considering i had my blaring alarm set next to me.

i turn over to grab my phone, and then i remember today.

i immediately shoot up out of bed and look out my window into his.

it has curtains in front of it, maybe to stop the sun from shining in on him.

i run to take a shower.

after my shower i check the time in which reads,

9:37 am.

i brush my teeth.

i change back into my previous clothes in which i had slept it.

i head into my closet and pick out a pair of baggy jeans along with a soft brown sweater. i throw on my black socks and my brown converse.

i head back into my bathroom and start on my makeup.

once i finish with my makeup, i check the time once more.

10:31 am

i have quite some time to spare.

i look out the window only to see chris already trying to peak through.

we lock eyes and i can feel a deep red blush form on my cheeks.

i open my window and open my mouth.

" hi chris " i say as i give him a sweet smile.

" hi valarie " he says back, along with returning a small smile.

" it's kinda cold out here " i say as i stick my hand out the window.

why did i say that. that was so awkward.

" i know, but we'll be inside the whole time so we should be alright"
he says back to me.

" yeah, you're right. " i saw in a rather awkward manner. i don't know why i feel so nervous around him, he's sweet.

" if you're ready to go, we could go early. i thought i would need longer to prepare myself but i guess not"
he says in the same awkward manner as i did.

i check the time quickly,

10:58 am.

" can we at 11:30? i'd like to eat beforehand, if that's okay? " i ask.

" perfectly fine! meet me in the lobby at 11:30 !" he says with a great excitement in his voice.

" will do, bye chrissy " i say to him and give him a wink before i close my window and he closes his own.

i run into my kitchen and open my fridge.

i take out a mango and quickly rise it in the sink.

i grab a fairly sharp knife and begin to cut.

until i feel a pain in my finger and see a bright red liquid drip onto my counter.

i yelp out in pain.

i then drop the knife and mango, turning around to face my sink once more.

i then put a bandaid over my wound.

i continue to cut my mango. i just want my mango.

i scroll through my instagram feed until
the clock says 11:23, and then i head out my door.

by the time i get to the lobby, it's 11:26, so i'm early.

i look to see chris already there waiting.

i run up to him and give him a small hug and a smile.

" early are you? " i ask him.

" i wasn't sure if you'd be early... i've been standing here since 11, just to make sure i was here to greet you first." he said as he gave me a cute smile.

in which i return.

" the bookstore is only 2 blocks way, i figured we could walk, the coffee store is next door too it. "
he says to me as if it was my first time ever in somerville, although i've lived here my entire life.

" okay! sounds great " i say.

we begin to walk out of the apartments lobby doors and head too the bookstore.

after quite a few steps, i scoot closer to him and grab a hold onto his arm.

he doesn't seem to mind.

in fact, he looks down at me and gives me another sweet smile.

i love it.
