She walks hand-in-hand with her boyfriend of a week and a half. They turn the corner of her street, singing her favorite song by her favorite band, a band he had gotten to know everything about. It turns out the boy from the music shop liked her. He played guitar, and that was enough to impress her. She is falling in love for the first time. When they reach her house, he brings her to the side door, kissing her in peace. Before it can escalate, she stops him, telling him she has to finish her homework. "Do you need help?" he suggests with a wink, and she shoves him playfully. She explains her math exam in the morning, and he nods understandingly. "Good luck and goodnight," he murmurs, kissing her once more before walking to his house the next block away. She runs to her room giddily, flopping down on her bed. She grins at the ceiling, sideways glancing at the countdown on the wall.
"Ninety-nine days," the girl tells herself, happy to be alive.
