Theia
It was Tuesday the 20th of April. Over 2 weeks ago my boyfriend broke up with me. Accused me of being a slut and a dirty whore all that shit. I sat on the edge of my bed twirling my hair around my finger, singing my heart out to Taylor Swift. As you do. I picked up my phone after it lit up. It was another snapchat notification. I unlocked my phone and opened snapchat.
Atlas added you from quick add.
Great, it's probably just another guy who wants me for my body. I accepted the request and threw my phone to the other end of my bed. I watched helplessly as it bounced and fell on to the floor. After letting out a deep sigh, I reached down to pick it up. I quickly checked to see if the screen had cracked. Thank fuck it didn't.
Atlas is typing...
Atlas sent a chat
I decided I'd give him a chance. I had a strange feeling that he was going to be different. I opened the chat and we began messaging. The usual 'Hey how are you' sort of thing. Then came the personal questions and small talk. Atlas is a year older than me and it turns out we lived in the same town. I felt drawn to him. He wasn't like the others. I looked at the time. Fuck we'd been messaging for over an hour already. I swear I opened that first message 5 minutes ago. Maybe I'm going insane. I changed into my grey shorts and cropped shirt and laid on my bed. It was already around 12am. We sat talking for hours. We had so much in common. I told myself I wouldn't fall for him. I hadn't even known him for a day. I remember glancing at the time before I must have fallen asleep. It was 2am. My eyes grew heavy from tiredness and he'd fallen asleep moments before me.
I woke up the next morning and picked up my phone to check Instagram. I put my headphones on and pinned my hair up into a bun after choosing my playlist. I rubbed my eyes trying to keep myself awake. Fuck school for making us get up early. After vibing to my playlist for a good few minutes, I opened snapchat. I had one new message from Atlas. I opened it without hesitation.
Atlas: Morning sunshine, did you sleep well?
He said 'morning' to me. I felt my heart melt. No one had ever messaged me saying morning. I thought Atlas would be a one-off and we wouldn't speak again. But he messaged me first. I immediately replied
Me: I did thank you aha did you ?
Our conversation continued for the entirety of that day. He was lovely. He's the type of guy you'd find in a fairy-tale.
Three or four days passed and we'd spoken every day. All-day and all night. It was up until the moment he said he thought I was a nice girl and that he'd wait until the end of the summer and see if we become anything. I took this with a pinch of salt because lets be honest when do guys tend to keep to their word. Our conversations started becoming more personal and the sexting started. As you would be able to imagine that's when Atlas found out I wasn't so innocent.
A few more weeks passed. I was sitting outside waiting for my friends. "Who's the boy?" Isla asked me. Isla has been my best friend since the beginning of high school. She could have anyone she wanted. She's gorgeous. I looked up from my phone not realising I was blushing at my messages. "Oh it's just this guy. His names Atlas." I smiled and looked at her. She raised an eyebrow and rolled her eyes repeating his name over and over. "So when do I get to meet him Theia? Also he best treat you right or else!" Isla made it extremely clear. I laughed at the serious look on her face. "Of course."
