Ann's POV

I was having trouble falling asleep, I kept thinking about stupid stuff. I tossed and turned, it was 3:00 am. I haven't even slept a second. I keep thinking about Hayes. I don't want to think about him this much. I don't want to think about him in this way. I keep seeing his smile every time I close my eyes, then I see his eyes, and hear his laugh! Although they're cute things about him, I don't want to like them. I don't want to like him, in this way.
Yes; he's super attractive, funny, sporty, has a really cute nose, has the perfect hair, and just the right height, I don't want these feelings! Maybe I needed to talk to someone. Maybe to talk to him, possibly. But I'm not telling him how I feel about him. I'll just talk to him. I'm not going to text him first, I'll text my best friend Jesse first:
I know its late, but I was wondering if you're up? I need someone to talk to atm..
I waited for her response for 3 minutes, I knew she was asleep. If she was up she would've answered in 0.2 seconds. So I guess it's time to see if Hayes is
A: are you awake? I know its really late rn, I just can't sleep!
H: I'm up.
A: hey
H: hi
A: were you about to be asleep?
H: no, I stay up late all the time. Why can't you sleep?
A: idk, I have a lot on my mind. Why don't you go to bed earlier?
H: idk either. Do you wanna talk about whats on your mind?
A: not really. It'll probably cause me to be up even more.
H: is your Mom asleep? And how far is her room from yours?
A: yes she's asleep and its at the other end of the hall. Why?
H: I'm going to facetime you

I answered his call and his room bright unlike mine.
"Well hello" he said
"Hey" I laughed at his cuteness. No stop! Don't think of him in that way!
"Do you wanna tell me what's on your mind now?" He asked
"Still a no. I said I'll be up talking about it!"
"Well if you keep thinking about it, you'll be up even more. So tell me!" He whinned
"You sound like a little girl!" I laughed.
"Is this better?" He said making his voice deeper
"Much better!" I joked with him
"Why won't you tell me? Omg! Is it about me?" He put his hand on his chest acting like a girl again.
"Nope and why won't you tell me what you were thinking about when we were playing that game that was causing you to smile like that?"
"Ohh I see what you're doing. If I tell you, you gotta tell me" he said
"Deal" I said, but I'm not going to tell him I'm thinking about him. I'll tell him I'm thinking about someone from my old home.
"I was thinking about someone. I really like, I don't know much about her. I only know the things she told me, and its not very much. But I feel like I'm hooked on her already! When we talk its only been small talk and people are always around us for me to get to know more about her. Now what's causing you to be up so late?" He said.
"Hayes that's really cute. Try to get her alone sometime! But I have someone on my mind too. He's really funny, he's just my type. I've been thinking about him a lot since I've moved here. I can't get him out of my head.. I've dreamed about him before, not knowing exactly who it is though. You probably don't understand what I'm saying because I'm a girl, and most girls don't know how to describe what they feel when they like someone. Were very confusing if you didn't know"
"I get it. Guys are like that too, believe it or not. When we like someone we never stop thinking about them. Girls think that just because were guys we have to make the first move. But its really cool when a girl does. It shows that she wants what she wants, and capable of doing things herself."
"Oh wow! I don't see why girls are so scared to make the first move, it doesn't seem that bad. Or even text first!" I said
"But Ann, that's the thing. You're not like most girls, like you said before. I know I barely even know you, but you are different, just by being your self! I like that. You seem like the type that doesn't try or even need to try. You probably have one guy on your mind, while other girls have millions, and every guy wants you or needs a girl like you. I can't say that you are that type, I don't know you like that yet. But I like you, in a friend way of course, but you're super cool and you're already growing on me" he said, causing me to blush so much. I put my head down, smiling so big. Nobody has ever or probably will ever say something like that to me again.
"Hayes you're so sweet! Oh my gosh, who ever that girl is thats on your mind is will be so lucky to have you if you ever get that chance to get to know her. You seem like the type of guy a girl falls hard for, every girl falls for. You play sports and are funny. Everything a girl wants in a guy. If she doesn't want to get to know you or doesn't like you in the way you may like her, it's seriously her loss. I am going to sleep now. Thanks Hayes, goodnight!" I told him
"You're welcome. And thank you too, night" he gave me a big smile and ended the call. He just made me then happiest person in the world. That girl is seriously really lucky if he can get to her.
