Next morning I wake up very enthusiastic, something that I don't always have when I go to school and less on Mondays.

I can't wait to see Zoey's expression when I tell her all about my weekend.

When I finish changing my clothes, I receive a message, I take my phone to see who it is.

Chris:

Hi, pretty.  How did you sleep? How are you?

What the hell….?  Me?? Pretty?! Why would he tell me that? I don't know what to type.

Hey, I think you sent this to the wrong person


I really don't think he wanted to send me a good morning message...or did he?

Immediately he replies.

Chris:

You're the correct person who this message goes for.

I prefer not to answer since I don't know what to say, I honestly didn't expect this, maybe I'm dreaming so I wash my face. This is just a dream, Chris would never mind saying good morning.

When I get out of the bathroom I check my phone again and there's another message from Chris.

So how are you?

Sarah:

Sorry. I'm fine thanks and you?

Chris:

Fine, see you at school. 
Take care.

But what kind of joke is this?

However, this is something very... rare…? Well at least it is for me.

When I arrive at my classroom, Zoey is not there. It takes a few minutes and she arrives, sleepy but she's here.

—Hello Zoey!— I say without avoiding my enthusiasm

—Hey, and what's going on with you today? You look very excited and it's something that almost never happens—she laughs briefly—. Tell me who did you see, what did you do? Or better yet, Who you were with?—raises an eyebrow, my best friend knows me very well.

—Something like that—I look sideways to see that no one is listening to us—. I was with Chris all day yesterday—I laughed immediately when I saw my friend's surprised face when I said that, she even lost her sleepy mood.

—All day?—I nod in response to her question—. But tell me everything—she says desperate to know more details

—Well, first I gone to his swimming classes then to his house where...— she interrupts me as always
