The next day:

I felt my phone vibrate on my night stand and rushed to pick it up.

Hi Appu! Thanks so much for being a fan! We shall definitely meet very soon! You did mention that you will come to India with that friend of yours, so that would be great!

He replied! It's 4:30am and I've been sitting here since 10pm anxiously waiting. Prashanth and I were supposed to hang out but he fell asleep next to me because he got tired.

"Prashanth wake up! Prashanth!" I said as I shook him awake.

"Appu what the f*ck" he said in his groggy, tired voice.

"Prashanth he replied! He finally replied!"

Prashanth shot up from his position and said "holy shit really? What did he say?"

"Chadhuvu" (chadhuvu means "read" in Telugu, which is the language that Prashanth and Aparna speak!) I said as I handed him the phone.

His face lit up as he read the message. "Does this mean you're coming to Hyderabad with me?!" he practically screamed.

"Shhh" I said. "Amma and Dad are sleeping! But yes! I'm coming to Hyderabad with you Ra!" I said. (Ra and Rey mean dude or man).

He got off my bed and picked me up and spun me around. "Appu yes! You get to come to Hyderabad AND meet your celebrity idol!" He put me down and paced around with his fingers rubbing his temples. He ran back to me and gave me a giant bear hug. "Appu I frickin love you ra" he said.

"I love you too" I said with a giggle. I can't believe this was happening. I'd already told Amma about this and though my parents are a bit strict, they know how much this opportunity means to me and so they're letting me and Prashanth fly to India on our own.

We both sat back down on my bed and neither of us could stop smiling.

"Appu can we sleep now? I'm actually dead" Prashanth asked.

I laughed and nodded.

"I'll take the floor" said Prashanth.

"Picha? Come sleep here" (the expression "picha" means "are you crazy?") I said patting on the space next to me on my bed. He smiled and placed his pillow on my bed. I know that Prashanth and I are like siblings so I let him sleep next to me.

"Goodnight ra" I said turning my back against him.

"Goodnight" he said.

I know that these chapters are a bit boring, but it's about to get interesting real soon! Stay tuned!!
