Once I arrived home, I waited for a text from Kosta. I couldn't stop thinking about how fast he got so comfortable around me. I mean.. when we first met, he was scared to even make eye contact with me.

I was super excited that I had a really cool bond with Kosta. It feels like me and him are already super close, and it's only been a couple days. I was so happy it was friday and the next episode of my favorite show was finally out. I put on my show and finally got a buzz on my phone. It was Kosta.

Kosta: Movies tmrw??? :)

Yajaira: Sure! Have to ask my mom first.

Kosta: Okayyy me 2. If both of our parents say yes, I could come by your house around 6 and we could walk. It's not too far.

Yajaira: Okay! She'll most likely say yes tho. She literally WILL NOT stop talking about u.

Kosta: Fr? U told her abt me?

Yajaira: I told her a little bit abt u, I actually think she likes u!

Kosta: That's good. I'll ttyl, I gtg.

Yajaira: Okay, ttyl!

...

A few hours go by, and my mom calls me and Yanni down for supper. Today she made my favorite, lasagna. As we sat down in silence, eating dinner, I thought about what Kosta asked me earlier.

"Mom, are we doing anything tomorrow?" I asked, breaking the silence.

"No, Yanni's hanging out with her new friends," she explains, "And I have a work interview. So you have the house to yourself."

"I was wondering if I could go to the movies with Kosta?" I asked, before taking a bite of my food.

"What time? Do you have a ride? Do you need cash?" she rambles.

"Around 6, he's going to swing by our house around 6 and we're going to walk together." I explain, "And yes, probably $20 for the ticket and snacks."

"That should be fine." mom says, "Just be careful, and if you need a ride home, call Yanni."

I nodded and finished my food. I was so excited for tomorrow. I can't wait to hang out with Kosta tomorrow night. I wonder what I should wear.

...

The next morning, I woke up and ate breakfast. I picked out what I was going to wear for me and Kosta's movie date. Mom was already on her way to her interview, and Yanni was getting ready for her plans.

"Yajaira!" she shouts from upstairs, "Have you seen my eyeshadow pallet?"

As if... I don't even wear makeup. "No, I haven't seen it." I shouted back, "Did you check mom's bathroom? You know she loves to take things and never put stuff back!"

Once I put my plate in the sink, I got a notification on Instagram that read, '@mr.twell started following you.'

I wonder who this is... I looked at the mystery person's page and found no highlights, nor bio information. I got another notification that read, '@mr.twell liked your story highlight.', and then another one that read, '@mr.twell replied to your highlight: We still on for the movies? :)'
