Birthday

MATTHEO'S POV

Again, they are fighting again. My so called father and Bellatrix also my now step mom. She's cruel so perfect for him.

They fight every day. Magic spells hit every corner of the house. My arm still hurts from bear bottle that was smashed on it.

It was supposed to be my birthday today. I mean it is my birthday just I don't celebrate it actually no one does.

No one even knows its my birthday. No one even knows the real me right. I just wish for one happy birthday that I can stare at.

But instead I stare into the screen of my phone who has no notifications at all. Not even single message.

I let down a deep sigh putting it down. It has been 20 minutes past midnight of course there is no messages.

Someone will probably text over the day. Or probably not. I fix my pillow. Wouldn't it be nice if someone wished you happy birthday right in midnight.

And as I lay my head down I hear my phone buzz making me stop in tracks. I immediately grab it and open it.

I look to see who is this message from, just to see 'Y/n <3'. My heart skips a beat as I take a second to clam down.

After finally being able to breathe again I open  it.

"Dear Mattheo, I don't know if you know me, we never really met but I sit behind you in Potions and you once borrowed my pen. Also if you may wonder from where did I got your number, it was Theodore. You may find this weird so if you do I'm sorry. I just wanted to wish you happy birthday and if you ask how I know it's your birthday, I don't know either I just heard you say it once. I wish you all the best. And don't give up cause I'm sure future has some great plans for you. And sorry it's not right in midnight I got carried away about what I'm going to write cause I want it to be perfect. And sorry that I am so weird but I hope we can be friends, I understand if you dont cause who would want to be friends with a freak, sorry and happy birthday again♡"

This time my heart didn't skip a beat, no, it totally stopped. What freak? She is literally beautiful.

And be friends? No, I don't want to be friends wih her. I want to be so much more. I want to marry her.

My eyes even watered a bit but I wipe them to stop the tears. I hold on to my chest and try to calm down.

I take my phone back and start texting her my replay. Trying to make it cute and long as she made hers.

"Dear Y/n, I know you very well, I noticed you much more then you think. First I want to thank you so much, especially for congratulating me in this time of night, it made my day, and month. I would never find you weird and I would love to be friends with you. Also I don't know why you think you are 'freak' but I can assure you, you are not near such thing, I actually find you really cute and pretty. I hope I don't sound like a creep. Once again thank you and I hope we'll talk more in future"

I patiently waited for her response. "Of course, I don't know how you find me cute but I definitely don't. Thank you for your kind words and I can't wait for us to talk in person and as much as I would love to continue this conversation I have to go to sleep now, good night♡"

My eyes slightly light up. "Of course, good night my love♡" I text before putting down my phone.

Did I go over the line with that message? I don't know I just hope she finds it cute. I hope it makes her blush or at least smile like her messages do to me.

And as I leave my phone and lay my head down. My thoughts travel to her. She means so much to me.

I fell asleep with her in my thoughts. Oh, how much affect did she had on me. I didn't sleep normally in years and with one her text I was I'm a deep slumber just thinking of her.

~next day~

I walk into Potions as my heart is racing knowing she sit behind me. I'm usually always late but this time I was early.

Just so I could speak to her. And as I wall over to my desk I decide to greet her. "Hey" I say giving her a comforting smile.

"Hey" she says smiling. "About that text, thank you, it really helped" I say whispering and awkwardly scratches my neck.

"Of course, thank you for complements" she says blushing. "Of course" I say flashing a smile.

"Also I was wondering if you would like to go out with me sometime?" I ask her nervously as I don't know how did I even manage to say that.

"I would love that" she says smiling as both 8f our cheaks burn red. I nod. "Then I'll pick you up at 8 pm tonight?" I ask and she nods.

I can't belive we're going on a date. All because one little message that changed my life.

THE END
