As the school bell rang, I told Reina that I would text her the link to my favorite Fortnite streamer, yup, we were talking about Fortnite in English class. She smiled up at me and said that she didn't need a link to my favorite streamer in a gigglish voice. This was another thing we will do. When I say I will text her a link, that means "Wanna text tonight?" and when she says she doesn't need the link, that means "Sure!". I know, it's weird. For some reason, it became like this, but I like it since I don't have to embarrass myself by saying "Wanna text tonight?" in actual words.

I walked out of the class and met up with my friend, Kian and we walked to our lockers. I checked behind me to see if Reina was there, she was there chatting with her friends. I sighed, she looked so happy when she was with her friends. I wondered if she was as happy as being with her friends when she is with me.

I packed up my bag, as Kian stood behind me waiting for me. I glanced over at Reina's locker, which was a few lockers away from mine. She was stacking up her books in her arms as she talked with Rachel, probably talking about WDW. I slung my bag on my shoulders and headed out of the school with Kian. Kian and I rode the train and headed home. We talked about Fortnite and Reina as we rode off in the subway train. Kian was the only one who knew that I like Reina, not Megan, after all, he is my best friend. 

We got off the train station where Kian lives and I got on another train taking me home. I held on to the train pole and looked out of the window while daydreaming about Reina and talking to her. I couldn't stop unseeing her adorable dimple-raising smile and her lullaby-like laugh. I took out my phone and went to my chat with Reina and reread our chats. My heart grew warmer and warmer as I scrolled down our chats. The train doors opened and I put my phone in my pocket, as I rushed out onto the train station platform. I walked home as people passed by me. Big buildings and skyscrapers surrounded me, I was living in a huge city with many business buildings. As my heart swooned over Reina and the memories we had today, I started to run home. I couldn't wait to text Reina and look up Jonah Marais, who she supposedly likes. My bag banged on my back as I dashed home. 

I unlocked the door to my home and pulled off my shoes. As usual, there wasn't anyone home, my parents were at work. I opened the fridge and got a bottle of water and went to my room. I plopped my bag on my desk chair and jumped onto my bed. I took out my phone and spotted a new text message from someone in my notifications. I opened the text message, hoping it was from Reina, nope it was from Megan. Megan was asking me if I was going to the school dance. There was a school dance coming up in a couple more weeks. The theme of this year's annual autumn school dance was "Falling in love". I wasn't sure whether I was going or not, so I just texted back, "idk". 

I went to my contacts and texted Reina a simple "Yo". As I waited for a reply, I searched up Jonah Marais on Google. He was a 20-year-old, member of WDW. He was a dude with brown hair and green eyes. I listened to some of his single songs, and to be honest, I don't think he is the best singer. And his looks? Mmmm, I don't know, I mean not the best looking person in the world. 


It was 5:50 pm, 10 minutes 'till swimming class starts. I put on my swimming pants and threw on a pair of jeans and a red hoodie on top. I stuffed my swimming bag with a towel, my cap, and my goggles. I took my phone and looked at my notifications, nothing from Reina. I ran to swimming class, which was in a nearby mall. I entered the dressing room and took off my clothes, revealing my already put on swimming trunks. I pulled on my cap and goggles, as I threw the rest of my clothes in one of the dressing room lockers. I checked my phone one last time, nothing from Reina. As I breathed one last sigh, I walked toward the pool.
