time left: 2 days, 48 hours, 172,800 seconds until match made

phil's coming to london today and i'm going to pick him up from the station today.

i'm so excited because we're finally going to meet, face-to-face.

i've finally told mum and she's willing to let me meet with him for a while as long 'as i don't miss the teeth-whitening appointment or i'll be sorry!'

yeah, good luck on that one, mum.

i walk to the station, my hands nervously fidgeting with one thing after the other. first it's my hair, next it's my pullover sleeves. i hope i don't look too shabby.

the station is empty even though it's past noon. phil said his train would be here at 12:15. i check my watch; it's 12:19. maybe his train is a little late. not everything happens on the dot, dan.

my phone buzzes in my pocket. it's a text from phil.

phil: there was a wreck on the tracks so they're sending everyone home :/. the police say that the wreckage will be cleared by friday, but no trains will be allowed out of the stations at this time. sorry... i really wanted to see you today, but i'll try friday. stay safe (; my train will be there at the same time as today. -phil xx

me: oh ok. yeah, see you tomorrow. stay safe as well :p -dan xx

no! he can't come on friday. that's when i meet my 'match' .

bloody hell, things never go right for me.
