The Diary

Catholic Club

### Diary Entry — September 16, 2008

Dear Diary,

Oh my gosh! I can't believe I'm writing this, but today was just magical! It all started when I walked into the Catholic Club meeting. I was feeling a bit shy, as usual, but then I spotted him—Roberto. He's this super cute Italian guy who just radiates charm. Seriously, I felt my heart race the moment I saw him.

As the meeting began, I noticed him across the room, laughing with a few friends. He has this warm smile that makes you feel like you're the only person in the room. When he joined our discussion about music and faith, I could hardly focus on anything else. He spoke with such passion, and I was totally captivated.

We ended up sitting next to each other, and I could feel my cheeks heating up. He leaned in a little closer to hear me better, and I could barely find my words! We started talking about our favorite bands, and I told him how much I love "The Paper Kites." His eyes lit up when I mentioned one of my favorite songs, "Bloom." I could hardly believe it when he said he loved that song too!

At one point, he casually brushed his arm against mine, and I swear I felt butterflies in my stomach. I tried to play it cool, but I'm pretty sure I was blushing like crazy. He kept asking questions, genuinely interested in what I had to say. I felt like I was floating!

As the meeting wrapped up, he turned to me with that charming smile and asked if he could follow me on Instagram. I could hardly contain my excitement! I quickly gave him my handle, and I could see that mischievous glint in his eyes. It felt like he was making all the moves, and I was just trying to keep up!

Later that night, I was scrolling through my feed when I saw he had posted a note of "Bloom." The caption was so sweet—something about how music brings people together. I couldn't stop smiling! I instantly liked the post, my heart doing little flips.

Just when I thought the night couldn't get any better, I got a DM from him! He mentioned how much he enjoyed our conversation and asked if I had more song recommendations. I could hardly type back fast enough! We ended up chatting about our favorite artists, and I found myself blushing all over again as he complimented my taste in music.

His messages were so playful and flirty; I could feel the chemistry. I can't believe how easily we connected! It's like I've known him forever, even though it's only been a day. I'm definitely crushing hard.

I'm lying in bed now, replaying everything in my head. I can't help but wonder what's next. Could this be the start of something special? I just hope I don't embarrass myself when we hang out for coffee.

Alright, Diary, I'm off to dream about Roberto and our next conversation.
