Live In The Moment

"Hello" He Said

As I looked down at my phone I had saw that I got a new message. I thought to myself "Who is this?,  Should I just ignore it or answer? I have to think quickly." I clicked open the chat and had a look at their photo.  My jaw dropped, my eyes glared and my heart; oh my heart started to beat faster each second. 

What I saw was someone I would have never thought would message a girl like me. "Hello" they said. I had to quickly respond to them before they thought I was not interested. "Hi." I said back. 

My heart was beating so fast I was nervous to see what did they want. Was this some type of drama someone wanted to throw at me? or was he really interested in talking to me? All I had right now was assumptions. As I sat there and waiting for his reply.

Shoot. I claimed it had been a boy. Why wouldn't it be? I mean overly excited. Not in a way as boys have never spoke to me. I mean they have. It just this one had certain characteristics that pointed out the term "fuck boy" but also just holy shit sexy.  So wouldn't you ask yourself the same thing? Insecurity can be apart of this but it just the boy...  

As I quickly remembered that he had responded back and I was to busy thinking about him he had asked me "How are you?" I thought to myself besides answering his question I want to know who he is. and why he would message me. Besides that how did you get my info to contact me? So i asked him back. "Do I know you?" 

I felt on my part it was a little risky because he could get scared and run off, or maybe didn't look at me right and realize who i really was. Also there is the fact how i just threw a random question at him like that. But all i had was the assumptions and I just had to know because we go into this any further. 

"Beep." the sound of the notification of the text from him went off so I quickly checked. "My name is Cole and I thought I would get to know you." I'm not going to lie I kind of got curious even more to as why he wanted to get to know me but I didn't want to ask more questions and scare him off so i just went with it. 

You are probably wondering why I keep second guessing myself in this situation or thinking maybe its just not being self conscious. But we will get to that later on in the story.

We had been talking for a little bit now. While we got to know we went to the same high school together and what we like to do and simple as what are favorite colors are. He had asked me If I had wanted to Skype but I had said no because I looked like a hot mess and if i wanted to i had to wash up. But that didn't matter to him and eventually he had convinced me it was okay and there went the sound of the call. 

When I had saw his name flashing across my phone that he was awaiting for me to answer the call my heart stopped. I answered it and covered half of my face. Seeing him made me blush so hard I didn't want him to notice. He had really nice curly hair, amazing dark brown eyes wore glasses and was wearing this traditional hoodie. which had me curious as why because we lived in Florida and I didn't even like to stay outside for five minutes i sure as hell wouldn't be close to thinking about putting on a sweater. 

Talking to him made me feel like I was talking to myself. Not as in he was ignoring me the whole time but that we both had a lot in common. Eventually he had to go and I decided I should go bathe.  While doing so i heard "Beep." and I wondered who it was. I wouldn't have thought it was him but it was and he had asked me a question that had stunned and confused me and a little bit got me upset. 

He had asked me if i would go out with him. As in be his girlfriend. While my mind was leading to yes. My heart was screaming no. So that is what i responded to the question adding to it as in we barely know each other i would if i knew him more. But all he had to say in a kind of upset text tone. was "Okay, well i got to go bye."

Now that was awkward right? At that moment i thought " was this a joke, was he trying to play me?" So I responded back saying " Do you really have to go or are you upset I said no?" He told me "I really have to go but I am upset." 

So I felt bad and told him that he has to understand I need time to know him better but if he rather leave that is up to him. But all he had to say was " I will be back but talk to you later."

I thought he just said that because he was upset and was never going to text me again. I was pretty upset but i barely knew the kid so i brushed it off and went on throughout my day knowing it was good while it had lasted a few hours.
