The summer of us

One Friday Night

Sophia🙋🏼💟🎀: wanna come over?

Me: yeah, sounds good. be there in a bit.

Sophia🙋🏼💟🎀: okay, see you then.

So I got up from the couch and went to my room to change. I was in sweatpants and an old t-shirt that was 3 sizes to big. I went through my drawers and found my brandy Melville "too sassy for you" t-shirt and pulled it over my head. then I grabbed my black leggings and threw them on. I grabbed my phone and headed out the door. I walked about 40 steps until I was right at soph's front door. I walked right in because we never need to ring the doorbell because we're just that close, I guess. So we stayed in her kitchen for fifteen minutes to eat some pizza. then we headed down her stairs into her basement.

We turned on the tv for background noise and sat down on the beanbags. we opened up the MacBook and hopped on to google, typing in the cite we go on all the time, omegle. it's like a FaceTime with random strangers around the world. We expected this to be a normal night, not finding anyone to really talk to, mostly because it was just weird pervert guys and 12 year olds. Man were we wrong.

So we got on and just kept hitting the "next" button except for the occasional 3 minute chats we have with weird people with foot fetishes. we were constantly "nexting" weird people that we didn't even stop long enough to even hear them. Then, we met them. honestly I feel stupid saying this, but I really felt like it was love at first sight. there, sitting right in front of us was the most attractive person I have ever seen. We both kinda looked like a deer in headlights for a few seconds and then started talking. His name was James and he was sitting right next to his best friend named Augustus (which Sophia claimed to also find an attraction to later when we were offline and talking about the event.) Their way of speaking and voices were almost regal. I wanted to guess they were from England, based on their accent. James was on the smaller side, which was perfect because I'm only 5 ft tall. He said they were both 16, which we had a hard time believing at first, just because he was kinda small. He had brown, pushed back hair that complemented his beautiful blue eyes. he had fair and perfectly clear skin. He literally couldn't be more my type physically. And when he started talking, I fell in love with his personality as well. He was sweet, charming, funny, and just simply amazing. We were all making small talk about what we liked and "such". James first asked us where we were "located", and we just said "a small town in Delaware." We kinda found it funny when they asked where that was in the world, but just said "America". Then, at that moment their eyes lit up. They explained how their only dream in life was to travel to America. They said that they were from a small city outside of Harrogate, England. We were talking for an hour or two, and then they told us they were tired and had to go to sleep, ( the time difference was five hours ahead, so it was 2 a.m. there.) we quickly exchanged all social media accounts, especially snapchat. Then we logged off omegle. we spent the rest of the night talking about the event, until I left around 9:45. When I laid in bed that night, all I thought about was James, and how cute his smile was.
