*Summer of sophomore year*
Summer meant one thing.
An obsessive amount of twitter.
The hours I spend on twitter are absolutely terrifying to the human eye. Anyone who has not experienced a twitter overload would be scared half to death by the amount of time I spend on the app.
I've always wanted an internet best friend. Someone who didn't know everyone in my everyday life, someone that would kind of give their honest opinion because they didn't know anybody. Someone that I could really bond with over things we both love and enjoy immensely. It sounded like such a good relationship and experience, but everyone I would start talking to we just eventually lose contact and stop making efforts.
And today was little different.
I was on my laptop on the twitter website, aimlessly stalking accounts, whether they're celebrities or fan accounts.
After a while I decided to tweet and then take a break, not really having faith that anyone would respond.
@charlottejuly96:
if you're goin to otra santa clara u should hmu and we b friends
I pressed tweet and plugged my phone in, heading down stairs to eat dinner.
✱✱✱✱
Stuffed with multiple tacos, I headed up to my room after a long heated 'do good in school this year or you won't go to one direction next summer' talk from my parents.
I tied my hair up into a ponytail and grabbed my phone, unplugging it in the process.
I got multiple texts from Cal saying useless things along with a lot of stupid memes.
(By now the entire almost being each other's first kiss was never talked about again, thank god for both of them that nothing had changed in their relationship.)
I decided to respond to those later and give my attention to the twitter notifications that had popped up.
Someone had followed me and mentioned me in a tweet.
What if this was my potential best friend via internet.
I hurriedly opened up the app and clicked repeatedly on my notifications.
@drummerboy94 started following you!
@dummerboy94:
I'm goin to that one ! But for/with my sis lol
I smiled in appreciation that someone responded as I typed in my own reply.
@charlottejuly96:
that's so cool! we should totally just b best friends haha
I immediately cringed at the tweet I sent out, but didn't want to seem weird by deleting it and replying again.
I saw him favorite it and I followed him.
I was aimlessly scrolling through my timeline, when I got a direct message notification.
from drummerboy94:

I was bit skeptical about this whole thing, considering it was a guy (at least I was 90% sure). But if he was willing to go to a one direction concert how bad could he be?

from charlottejuly96:
omg that's such a good name
from drummerboy94:
wow thx, idk it's not really anything special
from charlottejuly96:
well I think it is
And that's how the rest of the evening went. Ashton and I exchanged kiks at the end of the night, he promised to text me the next day and said good night.
I was absolutely happy with this interaction. He seemed nice, for all I now he could've been a pervert or something but he could also be the sweetest person I've ever met.
And that's where time took us, I learned he was around the same age as me and had a secret obsession with bunnies and spaghetti.
Plan internet friend was accomplished.

Fanfictionhave you ever not liked someone in a romantic way and everything is cool and all and then they do something small like touch your shoulder or say something funny and you just kind of freeze and think, oh. oh no.
