"Gosh, you know what Jessy? I think I have a new crush." Erin said while we were inside her car, driving our way back to our house.

"I know his name."

Erin blushed.

"I should have not let go of his hand the moment he helped me to get up. It's like we were in movies." She sighed with glow in her eyes . My bestfriend seems to be inlove at first sight.

"Come on Erin. You should have asked his number. "

"I will. I will. "

"But Ej kept on looking at you. I think he likes you than me. " Erin saddened .

"Girl, if he likes me, he should have talked to me a little bit more. I know those type of guys. And if he really do, I don't have time to entertain those things. " I assured her. "Don't worry, I won't get him to you. Keep on crushing. ♡ " I smiled and patted her shoulder.

And the rest of the ride kept silent til we reached to my house.
"Thanks for the ride, Girl!" I waved my hand goodbye.

"I'll stalk him on facebook." She joked.

I managed to sleep but my eyes were still wide awake. I tucked my head under my pillow but it didn't worked. I checked my phone. It's 11:47 pm. Tbh, I couldn't stop thinking about Ej. I know I've already met him. If my memory serves me right, we met when we were twelve or thirteen. I don't know.

I spent my sleepless night facebooking, liking pictures on instagram, checking tumblr, and my favorite , Youtubing. I know gadgets will keep you awake , I dont know for some scientific reason. But it's Friday so it's okay to spoil your eyes with your favorite stuff.

Facebook: Earl Jewel Santiago sent you a friend request 1m ago.

A notification appeared on my phone. Oh fudge. It's Earl. My old classmate. What on earth took him to add me at 11:50 pm? Yes on teenager's clock, it's still early but, I knew Earl. He is the type of a guy who never sleeps late. His earliest time would probably be 8 pm. By 9, he should be on his bed, conditioning himself to sleep. And after four years? Glad he found my name. Glad he had spent just a little amount of time to find my name.

*Friend request accepted*

Earl : Hi.

I blinked for like, hundred times. Nah just kidding. But I was surprised when a chat head appeared on my phone's screen. It's Earl?

Me: Hello *I paused for a while, organizing words in my head* How ya doin'?

It took him couple of minutes before he replied.

Earl: I'm good. By the way, how old are you in your profile picture?

Haha very Earl.

Me: Very recent. *smiling emoji*

Earl: Nice. Take this as a compliment but, you look more beautiful in person. *blush emoji*

My eyes widened. Whuuuut?!! We haven't seen each other for four years so how could he say so? Weird.

Me: Haha. Thank you. ^o^

I'm keeping my words very well kept. Trying not to open any deeper conversations. Specially I don't want to open about ours. His feelings. Why am I feeling like this? I'm feeling weird again.

Earl: Am I disturbing you?

Not at all. Earl. Not at all.

Me: No. It's okay. It's nice to chat with someone I haven't seen for so long. Hehe.

Earl : Yeah. I miss our good 'ol days.

Earl. Please. I felt my heart skipped a beat. What to say now?
Earl : I mean, our school, memories, the fun times that we had. Kim Andrew Lucas, remember? He used to tease you because you are too skinny. You looked so sick. *laughing emoji*

That made me laugh. Yeah Kim Andrew? Dang I hate that guy. He always tell that he's handsome. Even if he's not. Ew.

I sent him laughing emojis. Six laughing emojis. I was waiting for his reply, when I noticed a red mark on the upper part of the screen.

It says : NO INTERNET CONNECTION.

Fudge. This is what I hate on my internet service provider. Sometimes it has strong connection. Sometimes very poor. Im a good payer, I pay on time. Why ? Why this time?!

I groaned. I have to admit, I missed him. He's still funny to chat with. Maybe tomorrow?

I guess, that's the very end of my day. Okay, goodnight for reals.
