My sunshine

Chapter 9: Hello.

     The week was finally over and it was a long weekend. I did not enjoy having lunch duty everyday the same time with Ruby. She barely picked up garbage and left me to do all her dirty work, I was just glad it was over.
I looked over my calendar and the anime convention I was going to was only 2 weeks away, I was so excited!
Unknownboy_25: hey you happy it's long weekend?
Me: oh my yes! Lunch duty was slowly killing me so glad it's over.
Me and Unknownboy started to talk everyday once I got home from school. He was like my internet best friend.
Unknownboy_25: good morning sunshine. How are you doing this fine morning.
Me: sunshine? What am I a little girl to you?
Unknownboy_25: what is it with you and being mad every time I compliment you?
Me: oh hahaha sorry! I didn't know you caught feelings...
Unknownboy_25: yeah whatever...
Me: I really am it's just... I don't know I'm not used to all these type of compliments...
Unknownboy_25: type of compliments?
Me: yeah you know like what you would say to a pretty girl or something...
Unknownboy_25: what really? Oh well simply getting to know a nice girl like you, I think should deserve some compliments...
I froze in shock of what he said. "I deserve compliments..." I whispered to myself. As I was in deep thought my phone rang and scared me. It was Danica asking if we could meet up for lunch to work on that geography project.
We decided to meet at a pizza place near her house to get lunch and work at the park just across the street. Because it was now spring and 25 degrees outside I was able to wear these cute shorts I bought last summer and a regular gray zip-up sweater just incase it gets chilly.
When I was about to leave my house I got a message from my new friend.
Unknownboy_25: hey sorry if I made you mad or uncomfortable before... I don't really have friends so it's kinda hard for me to understand people... Anyway talk to you later...
Me: omg no it's fine lol... I get it and yeah I'll talk to you later friend <3
Unknownboy_25: <3 good bye sunshine
Me: is that what you're going to be calling me now lol?
Unknownboy_25: if you don't mind yes...
Me: haha your lucky, it's kinda growing on me now. Anyway got to go see ya!
I don't know why but it made me smile. I've never felt this way in a long time. No matter what I was feeling I was trying to ignore it. I knew it was probably a bad idea to start having feelings for a guy you haven't met, no matter how kind and funny he was.
I decided to tell Danica about this whole thing because I haven't really spoken or even told anyone about Unknownboy_25.
She started reading our conversations, gasping and smiling like it was some funny story. "Ohhhh looks like you found a new boo huh?" She nudged my side. I shrugged and continued writing down notes, "I don't know... I haven't even met the kid don't you think it's weird?" She looked at me confused, "um no how do you think people meet online?" I still didn't give in. "I don't know it's not that I don't trust him, I just don't think I'm ready for a relationship... And I would like to meet him in person before we get more "serious"..."
She looked at me and started smiling, "I don't know whether to laugh or clap for you, I'm very proud!" I rolled my eyes and she gave me a big hug.
After dinner I was debating whether to message Unknownboy_25. After thinking about the conversation I had with Danica I didn't know if I wanted to continue talking to him. He was nice but things were getting a bit serious and all I want to be is friends.
Me: hey
Unknownboy_25: good evening
Me: wanna play twenty questions again?
Unknownboy_25 : sure!
The game lasted an hour or so and it was really fun. But I was dying to ask him a certain question.
Me: so um... What am I to you?
Unknownboy_25: what do you mean?
Me: like you know... Friends, enemy? Stuff like that.
Unknownboy_25: lol do you think I see you as an enemy?
Me: no lol. Anyway your answer please
Unknownboy_25: well... Best friend... I mean I just met you and you seem nice and already know a lot about me... No one knows about these kind of problems... Like cutting and stuff...
Me: oh I see... I see you as a best friend too :)
Unknownboy_25: really! Cool but honestly I would really like to meet you and maybe become something more... But that could just be me
Me: oh um... Same honestly ugh don't do this to me!
Unknownboy_25: oh •////• what do you mean...
Me: I would really like to meet you too...But I don't know. I don't think I'm ready for more than friends...
Unknownboy_25: oh...
Me: yeah it's a long story...
Unknownboy_25: well... Can you still be my sunshine?
Me: lol okay but... You have to tell me, why sunshine?
Unknownboy_25: well as you know the sun gives off light on stormy days... And the past few habits you know, have been feeling like stormy days... But ever since I met you, you've been acting like my sunshine and makes my day much brighter <3
My heart started to beat 10 times harder. It was corny and sappy but that's what I liked about it. I won't lie I am a sucker for them because they make me laugh but this was different.
I wasn't sure but by the way my face felt I was redder than a damn tomato. I had to read it over and over making sure I wasn't just making up things.
I knew the moment we started talking there was something about him. I honestly thought online dating was pointless. I didn't even know if he lived in the same country as me and the odds of meeting each other, there's just no way.
But meeting him would really be a dream come true.
Unknownboy_25: 11:11!!! Make a wish!
When I checked my clock to make sure I didn't miss it I closed my eyes and wished. I've always been a sucker for wishes and "dreams coming true" I didn't care if I was 15 years old, I could be 75 still wishing and dreaming.
"I wish this isn't another mistake..." I wished hard in my head. I peeked to see if the time changed and it did.
Unknownboy_25: so... Did you make your wish?
Me: yes... But I'm not telling ;)
Unknownboy_25: fair enough, I hope your wish comes true... I must be keeping you up lol get some sleep, sweet dreams sunshine.
Me: good night Unknownboy <3
I wouldn't know for sure but we could be thousand miles away from each other but we felt so close. I couldn't contain myself, I had to go back and read over our conversation. I was probably fangirling for hours but I didn't care.
I really don't want to get my hopes up thinking me, out of all people, would get a miracle to meet this guy. I'm just really hoping we can at least stay friends. I just hope there won't be a hurtful good bye.
