Me: Hold up

"Mum", I called out from my room, a bit too loud in my excitement.

"Yeah?" Came a response, and mum walked into my room.

"Is it ok if my friend from America stays at our house for a bit when he comes over to do the student exchange program thing this year?" I asked. My voice squeaked a bit, and I think I seemed incredibly enthusiastic, because a wide grin spread across mum's face and she giggled. "He wont bother you and I can take care of him", I added.

"Yeah, sure", mum said with a laugh.

"Really?" I asked, on the edge of my chair.

"Of course! It's just one person", she said. I hugged her, very tight. She hugged back.

"You're the actual best human ever", I said, and mum laughed and thanked me before going back out my room.

Me: You can

Charlie: WHAT
Charlie: holy shit thats amazing!

Me: :D

Charlie: your mum is fucking awesome
Charlie: tell her that

Me: Already did :3

Charlie: nice ^-^

Me: Innit

Charlie: oh btw im coming to finland tomorrow
Charlie: well be in the place we found to stay
Charlie: so you can come meet me there?

Me: Yeah sure :D what's the address?

Charlie sent me the address to the place. I actually thought this was a dream, but no, it was real life! This was actually happening! Proven by the tens of pinch marks on my arm.

I was absolutely thrilled. I'd be seeing him the next day! Or the day after, maybe. Flights take a long time.

I remember not getting any sleep that night, I was just texting Charlie about this. I may have passed out at one point, though.
