Taylan's POV

My eyelids feel like ten bags of cement are resting ontop of them and I can feel my head dipping every now and then.

Mi head feel too heavy pon mi neck

With one eye slightly opened and the other shut, I try to look at my phone screen. I'm in Akeem's chat and he's typing.

3:08 AM√√

I can't help the permanent grin on my face and even though I want to sleep...I can't seem to fall asleep. I quickly run to Google to research 'hat trick.'

The results load and as soon as I see the definition, I pause.

Ohhh

...oh bra

This Haaland dude is ugly tho

Anyways

Akeem and I have been texting none stop, literally about any and everything and I guess I can see why Bri thinks we're similar.

Because we kinda are

Talking and talking....I'm starting to realize we like the same things, are dorks about the same things and can relate to each other but at the same time, there are things that we have different opinions on.

My face is kinda stiff from how sleep drenched I am but he's replying quickly so the minute I feel like sleep is about to just...

Lick mi fi six

Bam!... Mi revive caz that's him replying

I know I have to be on the road with Owen tomorrow and even though I know this, my eyes won't close by choice.

Usually school is the only thing that keeps me up like this and even then, when sleep hits the right way, what can you even do?
