"Lex I'm so proud of you!"

Serena was over at my house after school. Chey and Alexis were both busy but coming over later. I'd told Serena about what happened earlier with my encounter with Luke and she was flipping her shit.

"Thanks Serena. But, ugh, why hasn't he texted me?" What if he thought I was creepy? Was I being too forward? Fuck I hope I didn't scare him off.

"He probably doesn't want to seem eager or creepy! He's probably afraid of coming off as clingy." Huh.

"But why would he care about what I think of him?"

"Why wouldn't he? You're a gorgeous girl that gave him your number." Once again I didn't believe her, and my thoughts slowly became more negative. The longer it took for him to text me, the sadder I got. Serena and I went downstairs to make some popcorn so we could watch a movie until Chey and Alexis showed up.

"Hey Lex do you want butter on your popcorn?"

"Yea, sure, but not too much."

*ZZZZZZZZZZ*

I nearly had a heart attack. It looks like Serena did too.

"Check it NOW."

I pulled my phone out of my pocket. On the screen was a text from an unknown number. The message read, "hey lexi it's luke :-)"

I screamed. Serena screamed. Chey and Alexis walked in the front door while we were screaming.

"WHAT'S GOING ON?" Alexis looked genuinely concerned and ran over to me, where I was now lying on the ground face down. I wasn't really sure when that happened.

The words that escaped my mouth went somewhere along the lines of, "SKEJSJSJJSKSUDKDBLUKE SJEUSBSB HE TEXTEDMDNEK MENSJSBSISH." Alexis immediately looked at Serena. Serena took the clue.

"This bold girl over here talked to Luke today-"

"ACTUALLY?! Way to go Lex!" Chey was now by my side as well.

"That's not all though! She also gave him her number, and he just texted her and that's why she's currently convulsing on the floor."

"Well Lexi, you've definitely had an eventful day." Chey was right. Today was extremely eventful. My life is never eventful, that's one of the biggest things I hate about it. I feel like I'm trapped in the same day to day cycle, and that it will never change or get better. But, with Luke, and the letter guy, I can finally accept the fact that I am actually hopeful. As dangerous as it is, there IS hope inside of me. Hope for happiness, hope for change, hope that my life is finally going to start getting better and keep getting better.

"I should probably text him back." They all laughed at me. I laughed too. I was just so happy. Finally.

I picked up my phone and stared at for a solid minute before typing "hey luke! how are you? :)" I spent another minute after that before sending it. Now all I could do was wait.
