dear Rachel Ann.

do you know why we only have one moon
while Neptune has 14 and Jupiter has 79?
well, neither do i.
but i know your favorite yellow T-shirt with little green dinosaur on it that you wear every wednesday.
i know how many hours you spend in the lab, how many books you read in the library, and how many bags of potato chips you keep in your locker.
i know you're always 6 minutes late to class, (almost) everyday, because on-time is too early for you.
i know you swear yourself to go on diet, but forget to stop eating lao mian with rice.
i know you tell people how much you love cinnamon-topped pretzel and burnt bacon on toast.

i know i like you.

when you stood in front of the class with your tremendous 3D design, do you know i clapped my hands the loudest?
when you silently cried because they rejected your research paper, do you know i was the one who put a glass of boba milk tea on your table?
when you run alone in the rain with your big umbrella, do you know i left my bike at school so that i could walk with you?
every time you call my name, my brain consciously echoes your voice.
every time you laugh, i don't want to let a second pass without staring at you.
every time we talk, i wish i were google so i would never run out of book reviews and politics news.

i wish we were more than classmates.

oh dear Rachel Ann,
would you like to,
maybe,
go out on a date with me?
