Damn it.

It was one of those sleepless nights again. No matter what I do I just can't sleep. I tried everything. Drinking a glass of milk, listening to relaxing songs, changing sleeping positions but nothing seemed to work. I just couldn't forget what happened yesterday.

"Hi. What's your name?"

I didn't want to sound like a creep, so I pretended like I didn't know him.

"Egan." He said in a monotone tone.

"He didn't even bother asking my name?" I thought to myself. This guy, clearly wasn't interested in me.

After sharing a moment of silent, I decided to say something. "Aren't you going to ask my name too?" I asked while laughing.

"Uh, okay, um, what's your name?"

"Daisy. Nice to meet you, Egan."

He chuckled and said, "If you don't mind, I gotta go now. I'm in a rush."

"Wait." I half-shouted. "Do you mind if we high five?"

He looked at me weirdly and said, "Uh yeah, no. I don't mind."

He pulled out his hand and high fived me hesitantly.

"Okay, well, I gotta go now! Bye." He said while running. Running away from me to be exact.

I waved him goodbye and smile. Still smiling I thought to myself, "What in the world was I thinking?"

And here I am, 7 hours later and still thinking the same thing. Out of everything that I can do, I decided to do that? Why Daisy? Why?

I sigh and thought, "Whatever." and forced myself to sleep. After a few hours I finally slept.
