Juliana's Perspective:

I smile widely at the phone screen in front of me, heart beating fast, butterflies flying inside my chest and stomach nonstop as my eyes move along the text of his letter.

He's just too cute to handle.

He's so kind, caring and also extremely lovely towards me.

Though the fact that he saw all my edits still makes me anxious, at least he said he liked them. It makes the whole process of making them worth it. Worth everything.

Then I get to the next part and almost faint. He wants to get to know me more. As I read those words, a loud squeal comes out my mouth, fingers immediately dropping my phone onto the ground.

"What's wrong, Jules?" My mom bursts in my room a couple seconds later.

I'm unable to answer, I just keep sitting on my bed with widened eyes, the feeling of shock probably evident on my face.

"Is everything alright, darling?" She walks closer.

"Yeah," I answer slowly, deep in thought while my eyes move up to look at her. "My biggest inspiration texted me back and said that he wants to get to know me better."

"That Daniel boy from the band?" She frowns as she reaches down to grab my phone, giving it back to me.

I murmur a quick thank you before answering. "Yeah, him."

"And isn't it a good thing? Aren't you happy?"

"Oh, I am!" I exclaim, quickly reassuring her. "I'm extremely, unexplicably happy, I'm just surprised."

"Alright, I'll be downstairs if you need anything," and with that she walks out of my door, closing it carefully behind her back.

I shake my head to get myself back to reality from the frozen state of mind I'm still in before opening the app again just to read the message once more.

Maybe I misread it.

But no, it's there, just as casually and out of nowhere as it was before.

I switch to my messaging app with shaky fingers to text my best friend, feeling the urge to want to talk about this with someone.

*Juliana*
OH MY GOD YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED.

*Melanie*
??

*Juliana*
DANIEL JAMES SEAVEY TEXTED ME SAYING THAT HE WANTS TO GET TO KNOW ME BETTER!!

*Melanie*
What?!? You gotta be kidding me.

And the next moment my phone starts ringing, the caller ID being my best friend.

"Alright, I'm already on my way to you so you can show me proof because I'm not believing a word you just wrote," she jabbers as soon as I answer her call.

"You're aware of the fact that it's getting quite late and tomorrow we'll have an important test?" I let out a laugh of disbelief.

"Juliana, stop laughing. A member of my favourite band texted my best friend wanting to get to know her better. Do you seriously think that there is anything else more important than that?"

"Nope. Sorry for presuming," I smile. "Don't rush too much though, it won't disappear. I don't want to hear about how you got hurt on the way here because of your clumsiness."

"I'm not clumsy!"

"You are. See ya!" I end the call without another word and moving to my desk I try to go back to studying before Mel arrives.
