DM's To Guts

Chapter 1: Twitter

As I lay in bed scrolling through twitter, I randomly receive a follower request. Being the curious girl I am, I accept and decide to check out this mysterious boy. I am instantly attracted to his name as I have never encountered one like it before. In my favor, he has a pinned tweet describing himself and some of his qualities. Even though he is a foot taller than me, into tattoos and piercings, and three years older than me, my intuition was screaming at me to do more. Therefore, I liked the pinned tweet and waited a few seconds to see if he would return the favor. I told myself that if he didn't make a move then this would be the end of it. However, he liked my pictures within seconds causing our little game to continue. I followed him back and simply dm'd him asking where he went to school. I figured why not be direct and ask a question that I can guarantee myself an answer to.

"Where do you go to school?" I had asked even though it was clearly stated in his bio.

"Sterling University, and how about you?" 

"I will be going to Almont University in the Fall." 

"That's exciting, what are you majoring in?" He suddenly replied.

"I plan on going into secondary education strictly on mathematics though."

"Well that's an interesting choice, I sure wouldn't have the patience with students. Personally, after a lot of thought I have decided on going into industrial engineering." 

I then gave him the option to text me because my best friend had my account and at this point I wanted this to be only between him and I. Without hesitation, he texted me and the conversation continued. 

"So tell me more about yourself."

I didn't even know where to start so I told him, "there's a lot that comes with me and little by little I hope you can understand why it is I say that."

I'm sure that somewhat confused him because I was totally vague. After all, I was just trying to figure out the guy that caught my eye. Who is this boy behind the phone and why did we pop into each others lives on this particular day in May? 

Little did I know this boy redefined the word living in ways I couldn't even imagine.
