Him

Hi

        It all started with a "hi". Well, not literally. 'Cause you know he won't say that if he wasn't the one infront of me. He is the boy infront of me in the seating arrangement in the classroom. I don't really talk to boys, but he made me do. Like, it wasn't just talk. It was like chase, chasing the moment to talk to him because that was what I feel. But not really that deep. It goes like this.

     On the first day of school we didn't really talk. Even the first week, he was as quiet as is. It was my first impression on him. I don't really remember the first time we talked but the realtionship was getting closer as time passed by. There was just like these moments the teacher would ask what my name is and I'd reply "Yanna" and he would repeat it "Yanna" with a baby voice (which most people think my voice sounds like. 😕) Or moments when the teacher would react something about me or my work and he would face back and whisper something. But the "hi" I've been talking about really changed everything. Well, not that it's a big deal but it will make you wonder.

    I kept on checking my phone if I have a message. Check, turn off, check, turn off. Yup, I'm that kind of girl. But there was really no message for me at all. "Yanna, turn off the lights. We're going to the barbeque seller to get her payment." my mom said. I was sad since there is no internet in the car. I won't be able to check if I have a message. But I brought my phone anyway.
    I jumped in the car and leaned against the window with the raindrops racing down. I checked my phone. 1 message. I quickly opened messenger. Then, I saw his name with a message. "Hi". I freaked out, I checked the internet connection but it says it cannot connect to any. I was too late! He messaged me when I stepped out of the house right away. How come I've been checking that again and again and the message just appeared by the last second? So, I calmed down. I calmed down, but yes, I freaked out inside. It was my first time a boy chat me (a boy who is not my cousin, uncle, dad, brother, but a stranger. Like, I have no relation with him.) So I replied since it will be sent right away when I go back home. I typed, "Hello! :)" I erased and typed "Hi?". I erased again, and typed "Hiiii". I erased and typed again and again. Until I made up with something reasonable. "Slr. Hi" I sent the message even though I know it will only be sent when I come back home.

      While on the road, I kept on wondering why he sent me that. Like, a normal girl would just like joke that the boy is cute and okay but that was not my reason. Never of it was. Yes, I am from an all girls school and I should be used to it. But still. You'll figure out too when I tell you more.
