Heartstrings

One

I met Angelina on June 13th. Well, we didn't actually meet that day, but it was the first time I heard her voice. At that moment, I didn't think she was going to change my life forever. All I was thinking about was the weird coincidence of a stranger mistaking my number for my best friend's.

"... Hello?"

"Hi, who's talking?"

"Angelina. Is this Bo? I wanted to speak to Bo".

"No, this is not their number".

"This isn't Bo's number? Could you pass me their number?"

"I don't know who you are".

"We share some classes at college. I needed to ask them for some notes, and I also asked them for their number but it seems I misclicked".

"I see! I'll let them know you called me".

As soon as I said that, I hung up. I didn't want to extend a conversation with someone I had never seen before because it made me uncomfortable. Little did I know at the time, though, that even the strangest beginnings can lead to the most meaningful connections.
