Rydel and I are at the local mall celebrating my birthday at Starbucks talking about everything, from music, to clothes, to boys.
"So do you have a crush on anyone?" Rydel asked while taking the first sip of her coffee.
"Well I did like Ryland, but now he's my brother so that's out of the picture." I replied taking the first sip of my coffee also. Rydel just giggled. "I'm gonna go ask for some ice. This is a little too hot for my taste." I said getting up. Rydel nodded.
"How may I help you?" The boy asked with a heavy Australian accent. This boy is cute, I thought.
"Um... I-I'd like some i-ice in my drink p-please." I said face palming myself.
"What's with the stuttering and the face palming?" The boy asked with a confused look on his face.
"Oh my god. I'm so embarrassed." I replied.
"About what?" He said adding the ice to my caramel mocha.
"It's just that your really cute and I didn't see you before because my new sister ordered for me and I just want to cuddle with you cause you look like a cute little teddy bear and-"
"A little teddy bear? I'm a 6 foot 16 year old, I'm not little."
"Oh my god. I said that out loud. You weren't supposed to know that." I said feeling my checks heat up.
"You're cute too."
"What?"
"I said I think your cute."
"Really?" I said not knowing what to think.
"Of corse. I've liked you for a long time." He replied.
"What do you mean for a long time?" I asked very confused with what was happening.
"Why do you look confused?" He asked.
"Well I just found out that a really cute Australian boy is stalking me, why wouldn't I be confused." I stated.
"Stalker? What are you talking about? Don't you remember me?" He replied.
"Remember you? What is going on here?" I asked.
"First let me make sure this is you. Is your name Raleigh?"
"Yes."
"Is it your 14th birthday today?"
"Yes."
"Did you live at LA Adoption for 13 years of your life and are you the new addition to the Lynch family?"
"Yes and yes. Can you please tell me what's going on now?" I asked.
"Remember when you were 12 years old and you got your first phone. And do you remember the person who gave it to you?"
"Of corse," I said. "His name was Lucas. I had an insanely big crush in him. He saved up all his money to get me an iPhone and was the first person added to my contacts. He was and still is my best friend. We've texted every day sense he left. He hasn't sent me any pictures or anything so I don't remember what looks like."
"What if I told you that I am the Lucas you are talking about." He said.
"I'd say you're crazy."
"Text your friend."
"Wh-"
"Just do it."
I looked down at my phone and started typing.

After a few seconds his phone buzzed. He pulled it out and typed a reply.

To: Raleigh
Well isn't that interesting. By the way, remind him to give you your drink back. ;)
From: Lucas

"Oh my gosh! It is you!" I said leaning over the counter to hug him.
"Yup it's me!" He giggled. Oh how I missed that giggle.
