(Three months later)
It's finally summer break. I just had my last exam.
"Candy what are you gonna do over summer break?" Precious asks.
"Well, maybe find someone to love," I say jokingly. "How about you?"
"Maybe hang out with Kris over the summer." She says.
"We should hang out, we can maybe go to the beach together," I suggested.
"Yeah, we should, totally." She replied. "I got to go. Bye. See ya." She walks away.
(Ring ring)(picks up phone)
"Candy I'm here, I'm waiting in the central parking lot."
"Alright, I'll be there in 5," I say.
I walk to the parking lot and I stand on the highest point that I could find. I scan to see Ella's car. I finally find it. I got down and walk towards it. There is a car coming I didn't see it. It's coming at a fast speed. When I realized it, it's close to too late to move. I close my eyes, in fear. Then I felt someone pull and shove me.

(Moments later)
I was on top of someone. This person is gripping me tight. I finally open my eyes. I look at this mysterious person.
"are you alright?" He asks.
"Leo!..." I say staring at him.
"You have a staring problem, huh?" He says jokingly.
"Huh, no I'm sorry. Thanks for saving me." I finally say.
I get up and stand in front of him.
He's very tall compared to me. I look up at him.
"Watch out for cars," he says running away.
"See you around!" I say as he's far away from me.

I turn around but someone grabs my arm.
"Can I get your number?" he asks.
It's Leo I recognize his voice.

I turn around quickly and look at him.
"Can I get your number?" He repeats again.
I tried to stay calm, but I couldn't help but smile widely.
I input my number on his cell.
I turn around quickly, I can feel my face burning.
"Umm, see you around," I say walking away.

(That night)
(Ting*)( new message )
"What's this?"
("Hey, this is Leo, Want to hang out tomorrow? Ik a great coffee place.")

I reread the message, to double-check. I'm not misreading the text. I smile widely in my room. I fall back into my bed.

"Sure," I reply back.
