"----- sends you a message".
I couldn't believe my eyes. I was surprised. I double checked my phone to see if I was seeing things. He did text me a message. The message read as:
"Hey", he wrote.
"I am -----.
We are classmates.
You are ---- right?"
It was a text in many lines. I panicked and wrote the first thing that came to my mind
"Hi", I wrote.
"Oh.. yes, I am ----."
"Wheww, I was skeptical if it was you or not.
Glad I was right haha", he texted back.
I didn't know what to reply. Should I just laugh it out? What if that sounds so friendly? What if I just said yes, would that be too formal? While I was still in the midst of making a decision and typing, I noticed something.
"----- is typing"
"Ahh yes, I was shocked to see you texting m|" I slowly deleted the message that I have written so far.
"Well, you might be wondering why I texted you all of a sudden right? " *smiling emoji
"Sorry for startling you. "
"It's because of the group project."
"I don't know if you have seen the group members notice but we are together in the group project." *excited emoji
Huh? My eyes opened wide. I was shocked.
"Oh sorry, I haven't really seen that."
"It's okay, no problem. I figured that out." *smiling face with open mouth and tightly closed
"My apologies, but what do you mean by you figured that out?" I sounded way too formal.
"Please you sound way too formal, just be casual with me" *crying face emoji. He really uses a lot of emojis. I found that fascinating.
"Oh, and what I mean by that is I somehow knew you wouldn't have seen the group notice. "
"You look like you are in your own world."
"And btw that's a compliment okaayyy!"
What's with the reply? I laughed. It is you who is in his own world, not me. But I dare not say that, so it just remained a thought.
"Haha, I got it. You don't need to explain." I replied.
"Haha okay *grinning face with smiling eyes emoji
"Btw do you have free time tomorrow?" He asked.
"Ahh yes, I am free." I was somewhat nervous. I could feel my heart thumping. Why is he asking that?
"Great!" He replied within seconds.
"Then let's discuss what to do for our project."
"Maybe after the class has ended, let's meet in cafeteria, shall we?"
"Alright." My replies were short compared to his.
"Then byee. Goodnight!"
"Bye and good night."
He sent me a gif that had a cute puppy waving at me and saying good night.
Oh, what was that? That's so cute. I smiled without knowing. It was a great feeling. My heart was still beating fast. I found myself staring at our short conversation for a long time.
With that our first ever conversation ended. It was just like how I imagined he would be: sweet, heartwarming and cute. His text is just like himself.
