..."Dear Matteo, I found your old school letter hidden in the bushes. I have to say it's a really creative way to let a girl know you want to hang out with her. Since you took your time doing this and planning this I assume, I'm not just going to text you back normally. You know, I can't be worst than you, that would interfere with my all so great personality. So without stretching this out more and more I'm just going to tell you my answer. So I... just kidding I'm going to keep you in suspense for just a tiny while longer. I just love annoying people. It's like my hobby. You should probably know about that before our next date."
Date?! What are you writing Luna! What if he's just being friendly and wants to hang out as FRIENDS. I quickly crossed out the word multiple times so you couldn't make out what it said anymore. I continued writing.
"...before our next meet up. And yes, i want to see you again. See you then. Kisses, Luna."
I looked at the letter and was quite proud of what I wrote. It was a bit messy but, I don't think he'll care. I drew a few doodles around the letter with my colourful pens that I got at the stationary store. Finally they come to good use. I nicely folded the letter so that I didn't look like the messiest person on this planet. I wrote Matteo on the top part of it with a goldish marker. I placed it in the same red box that my letter came in. I made my way back to the house carrying my little red treasure. I sneaked down to the shed where I had a box filled with chalk. Yes I'm a five year old. Don't make fun of me. I went back into the front of the house and drew blue arrows leading from his door to the bush. I placed the box at the same place where he put it. I left the chalk beside it as a sign that I read the letter inside. I returned to my shelter aka home. I closed the door behind me and ran upstairs. I really wonder when he's gonna hest the letter.

Few hours slowly passed by as I waited for my mysterious box opener to come back. I sat there in front of the window staring at the nothingness of the street. The sky was blue and there were fairly any clouds around. The birds flew by in great groups heading in various different directions. I seen a few people pass by. Mostly excited children going out to play in the sun with their friends. A few couples holding hands also caught my attention as I sat in boredom. As people say ,,the two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom." Yeah I seen that on google. Don't judge. Suddenly I saw a person walk out of the house beside. It's Matteo! I watched him as he made his way to the hiding spot. He looked confusingly at the blue arrows that followed to it. He picked up the box carefully and opened it. I could see his face form a confused expression. He took out the piece of paper that was placed inside the little treasure. He began to read. I could see his face form a wide grin as he continued. When he finished, he put it back in the box and took it with him. I jumped into my bed and smiled to myself.

I put on my red heels and suddenly felt my self lift up higher. Since I'm a very short person I always feel tiny compare to others. I put on a cardigan to cover my pale skin. I swipe red lipstick over my lips and fix any mistakes I made. I grabbed my purse and headed out the door. I carefully walked down the steps trying not to trip over my own legs. When I reached the end, I seen a shape of a man waiting in suspense. He turned around as he heared the click of my heels making their way down.

M: You look gorgeous.
L: I could say the same about you.
I smiled showing a row of my pearl white teeth.
We started making our way down the street. The lamps glistened just as they did the other night. His soothing voice played in my ears. His beautiful chocolate eyes shinning in the light.
We talked about many different things and joked around like fools. He's such a great person, he gets my sense of humour, he can fool around even if people are watching and most importantly, he's not like all other guys. He is sweet, funny and very smart in fact. I'm glad I met someone like him.
All of a sudden I felt something touch my hand. A tickling sensation touched my hand. He gently put his hand with mine and crossed our fingers together. I could feel my face turning a slightly pinkish colour. He looked down at me which made me smile at him. We carried on making our way hand in hand.
