The euphoric tingle remains on my chest as I make my way back to the university in the afternoon, heart swelling with warmth and excitement every time I think about him.

It still feels surreal. His warmth, his comforting words, his whole being. Everything about him is intriguing, and I find myself smiling every time I remember that moment.

By now, the sun is completely out and shining brightly above, it's warm rays making the day hotter, illuminating everything with a bright yellowish glow.

Rose is the first person I spot, her red hair looking brighter as the light passes through it.

"Hey." I greet with a smile as I take a seat next to her, sliding by bag off my shoulder as I take out the necessary materials for the lesson.

For a while, Rose remains quiet and just stares at me, eyes narrowed as she watches my every move, a suspicious look on her face.

After a few minutes of her doing that, she finally speaks up. "What's up with you?" Rose asks raising a brow.

"Huh?" I ask confused. "What do you mean?"

"You are literally glowing girl." Rose says with a small laugh, completely relaxing as she covers her stomach with her arms.

"Can't I just glow because I'm cool like that?" I say with a small pout, looking away to hide the smile that keeps creeping onto my face.

"You can't hide from me." Rose says sitting on my desk, one arm supporting her weight while the other grabs my chin to make me look up at her. "You dreamt with him again didn't you?" Rose asks, her lips curving into a teasing smile.

A blush creeps onto my cheeks as she says it, her eagle like eyes not missing the small action.

"Maybe." I reply in a low voice, keeping my gaze on my hands, particularly, my pinky.

"Aha!" Rose exclaims pumping her fist into the air. "I knew it!"

"Whatever." I say rolling my eyes.

"Does this mean that you believe me now?" Rose asks in a more serious tone.

"Maybe?" I say and she hits my arm playfully.

The truth is that I don't really want to admit that this all seems real, and that deep down, I am hoping to meet him someday. But the fear that it's just a dream still lingers at the bottom of my heart.

"Well, if it helps, I hope you find him." Rose says jumping off my desk and sitting on hers.

"Thanks Rose." I say giving her a smile. "I hope so too."

Before I can fall back into my thoughts, the teacher walks in and starts our afternoon lecture, greeting the students and telling us to open our books in the page we will be going over today.

Rose stays quiet for a while before she turns to face me again, leaning closer to me.

"I still can't believe it though." She says with a small squeal, earning a glare from the teacher.

"Stop it Rose." I whisper, slightly pushing her back to her seat. "We'll talk about it later."

In response she gives me a satisfied nod and gives it a rest for the time being, though I can tell that she's intrigued and she will not drop the subject any time soon.
