Roman P.O.V.

What should I do now? Now that I'm 90% sure the one who sent me those letters is Virgil, what do I do? What do I say? How should I act around him? Should I flirt back? Should I just leave him some hint here and there? I don't know! What should I do... I asked Logan and he says that I should try talking to Virgil. Yeah, right! What do you want me to say?! No way. Maybe I should write a letter back? Yeah, that could be fun. I run to my desk and get a fancy looking paper and an envelope. I take out my favourite pen and start writing.


Dear A, I jus - no...

Dear Anxiety, it's me! Roman! Nah, that's stupid. He won't like that.


Dear Virgil,

I know that you're the one I've been looking for in the past month.The first time I read your letter, you made me feel itty bitty butterflies in my stomach. I just want you to know that-

A sudden knock on the door distracts me and I see Patton's adorable face pop up at the door.

''Hey Roman.''

''Hi Patton.''

''Could I borrow some of your fancy paper please? Logan and I are gonna make a paper plane race to see which design can go the furthest and I want mine to look all beautiful and sparkly.''

''Oh, uh, sure. Here you go.'' 

''Thank you! You know, me and Virgil had a really nice talk earlier and I think you should maybe give it a try.'' he says. He was trying to wink at me, but he just ended up blinking harder than usual.

''What?! Wh-what do you mean?''

He 'winks' again and closes the door. Maybe I should try to talk to him after all. Not only did Logan suggest me the idea, but now Patton as well. Maybe they're right. I'll go talk to him... tomorrow morning. 

***

It is now 6:30 in the morning. I didn't get the chance to sleep last night. Talking to Anxiety makes me... anxious! Why does social interaction have to be so nerve wrecking! I kept imagining different scenarios in my head of how the conversation would go. My mind only went to the worst possible endings which makes me even more nervous, but I have to make a move. I dress up and walk towards Virgil's room. I start to touch my hands. It's a thing I do when I'm tense. I knock softly on the door and open it slightly.

''Virgil? A-are you here?''

No response. He might be sleeping. He does go to bed late at night and he usually doesn't wake up before 12 p.m. I go downstairs to the kitchen but nobody's there yet. Suddenly, I hear a peaceful snore coming from the living room. Virgil must've fallen asleep while watching his movie or something. Guess the talk will have to wait. I could do a little something for him before going back to bed. I have an idea!
