The First Date

The Next Day//Ashlynn

I woke up in a mess of my room, laying on my bedroom floor. It took me a minute to remember what happened last night-the DM, the games, the sleepover fun. I looked next to me, and there was Lauren. Yep, I had a sleepover alright. I decided to check my phone. I didn't think that Issa would respond. Boy, was I wrong.

  "Well, hii!"

I screamed. I mean, my crush, my famous YouTuber crush, responded to my text! I was so happy! I started jumping around, waking up Lauren.

"Ashlynn, why are you jumping around so much? Jeez, it's like he texted you back"

"BUT LAUREN, HE DID TEXT BACK!!!!"

"WHAT?!?! ASHLYNN, LET ME SEE!"

I showed her the message. She started jumping around, screaming too. She's a fan of Issa, but not as big of a fan as I am. We jumped around for a few minutes, then stopped because we didn't want to wake my parents.

"Lauren, what do I do?!"

"RESPOND TO HIM, DUH!!!"

I typed out a response.

  "OMG, haii!!! I didn't think you would respond!"

  I sent the message. I said to Lauren, "Does this message make me seem like a creep?"

  "Nah.", Lauren said. "He's probably used to getting responses like that."

  "Oh, ok." I said, deciding to not overthink it. I tried to focus on editing and stuff, but I couldn't stop thinking about that message. HE RESPONDED!! HOW COULD I NOT THINK ABOUT IT?!?!?!
