my blood rushed with adrenaline, racing through the front door. my keys dropped from my hand, falling onto the lino floor to then create a dinging sound. the door had nearly slammed into the wall, but luckily, nadia had rushed in behind me, stopping it just barely.

she gasped with a high pitched exhale of air to finish, her chest heaving up and down. a large smile was plastered on my lips— feeling content. my heart seemed to be beating rapidly as i swung my bag off my shoulders, a weight being lifted off me.

a large sigh of relief left my lips before bouncing on my toes; squealing with squinted eyes.

nadia was breathing heavily, dads eyes catching onto how we had just entered.

"hey girls!" his hand raised as he twiddled his fingers as a little wave. when seeing my face, his smile dropped in a way, his eyebrows positioned in a concerned way.

converted for me.

"petal?" his voice raises in a worried tone, but i couldn't remove the smile from my lips.

"don't even ask," nadia pants slightly, shaking her head and hands. soon after, she was so puffed that she had bent down, placing her hands on her knees.

her head dropped as she inhaled a large breath of air.

i couldn't help but laugh at her actions, being selfish as i am the one who tired her out.

this whole day i felt as if i were on a sugar rush.

my heart was bouncing around and doing flips that my whole body reacted the most it ever has.

why you may ask?

because of one person that name rolls off the tongue so nicely.

ethan dolan.

all day long. all fucking day he was texting me, making me melt into a puddle of extreme happiness. it was crazy and i so did not appreciate the amount of times i gasped or nearly fell out of my chair.

for example,
one:

i had just woken up with the sun piercing through my eyes, surprising me due to the time. i had lightly rubbed my eyes, feeling that morning air swarm my body, preparing myself for the day.

a sudden ding came from my phone, signalling a notification. now my first instinct was to not even bother considering i don't like to be on my phone in the morning.

first thing you know i see one notification and the next i am scrolling down endlessly not noticing the time; soon to be late to school.

but, usually nadia would text me if something urgent was happening. so i decided just to check the screen tiredly, not being too close just in case it were something pointless.

but the green colour of apple messages glowed, making my eyes widen a little more. they soon find focus on the phone screen, noticing the familiar name beside the icon.

my fingers didn't hesitate to pick the device up, brining it closer to my vision. my eyes scanned over the message, finding a familiar feeling to engulf every spot of my body that is only rarely caused by him.

ethan:
good morning princess
i envy the sun, it sees you first in the morning
no replying to my texts, get ready for school and have a good day x
