My Online Crush

IT'S A SHORT STORY

my online crush

So she followed me on Instagram. I viewed her profile. She had 10.6k followers and followed only 1089. I viewed and liked all her 50 posts . Honestly speaking she was the definition of beauty . Although she wasn't fair , she had this kinda brownish chocolate skin . Her hair was black , she had these ocean eyes that reflects anytime I look at her picture. Oh those ocean eyes. I just stared at those ocean eyes for minutes every time I viewed her picture. I found it quite rare for a dark girl to have ocean eyes but that made her stunningly beautiful. She was not too fat not too skinny. She had beautiful long legs when she wore bikini.
So I followed her back and sent a "hello". There was a green dot besides her profile which meant she was online. It has been an hour now and still no reply but she was still online. Every now and then I would check for a reply but she had not read it . I still waited but no reply I decided to unsend the message but gave it a second thought and stopped I rather texted "What's good?" with an upside down smiley emojis and two moon faces . Just then I saw her update her story. I quickly viewed it and it was a picture of her in bed with a "BORED" sticker . Her ocean eyes were talking to me . They told me not to give up . Maybe we can just be friends I thought. She was my definition of beautiful. I replied to her story with a love emoji. I started daydreaming about her. How good we would look together in the future. Going out on dates, to the movies, to the mall , to the park...hmmm I could only imagine.

As I was daydreaming , I fell asleep. I woke up at 9 p.m . I took my phone immediately to check for a reply and there it was a new notification but sadly it was from a friend . I ignored the message and checked on my cyber crush. I noticed she was last online an hour ago but what made me happy was that at least, she viewed my message but didn't reply. Maybe as she was about to text me back, her mom called or something came up or her phone went off . I tried as much as possible to see the positive side only and not thinking as if she doesn't want to reply. I went back to sleep staring at her picture even used it as my wallpaper.

I checked the following morning and she had still not replied so I texted her a good morning as a reminder in case she had forgotten to reply but that was of no use . It has been a week since then and still no reply. So now I just stare at the pictures she posts and her stories.
I know she is just a crush and I will get over it soon but I look forward to seeing that brown skin with those ocean eyes with my own eyes.
