[✔️] My Angel ~ Jack Avery & Gabriela Gonzalez

~1~

Jack lied on his soft bed, Instagram open to gabrielagonzalez 's DMs. He debated the pros and cons of talking to the girl he knew nothing about, but he desperately wanted to know more. Taking a deep breath, Jack quickly typed a word and sent it before he could second-guess it.

Hey

Jack looked at the bottom of the message to see if the girl had seen it. Seconds later, the word seen appeared, along with the bubble that implied she was typing.

Hey :)

Jack's heartbeat quickened, shocked and relieved that she replied.

I saw that you liked my post.

Wow, that's stupid Jack. He quickly deleted that message before she could read it.

You're friends with Makena?

Yeah, I met her at a
beach in Florida a couple
months ago.

You live in Florida?

Trying to be obvious, Jack? Now I sound like a creepy stalker!

Yeah!
Where do you live?

Pennsylvania.
Susquehanna, specifically.
Makena actually lives near me.

Cool!
I'd like to go to Pennsylvania,
but I feel like the weather
would be too cold for my taste.

Oh, you like warmer climates?

Definitely.
Plus, I love being close to
the ocean.

Do you surf?
Actually, I just realized your
profile picture shows surfing lol.

Haha, you're observant.
Yeah, I surf.
Have you heard of the Orlando
Surf Expo?

Maybe?
I'm not a surfer, so I don't
really know.

Lmao.
Well, I went to the surf expo
this year.
It was dope.
I met some guys from Roark.

Who?

OH MY GOSH YOU DON'T
KNOW WHAT ROARK IS?

No?
I live in Pennsylvania,
remember?

Alright, I forgive you.
This time.

Wow.

Haha, yes you needed
forgiveness.
Hey, I just realized we never
properly introduced
ourselves.

Oops, sorry.
I'm Jack.

I'm Gabbie :)
Nice to meet you, Jack.

Nice to meet you, too,
Gabbie :)

For the next few hours, Gabbie and Jack chatted, getting to know each other. Both were smiling through their screens, feeling the happiness radiate across the East Coast.
