26 DAYS BEFORE PROM

i yawn as i scroll down my twitter timeline, finding nothing entertaining anymore.

i check the time on my phone, and it's already well past 1 am. damn it, i told myself i was going to sleep early tonight.

just as i was about to turn my phone off, i receive a message from luke.

i click on it at a dangerously fast rate, cringing once i realized how quickly i clicked on it.

fr: luke
where's my goodnight message? :-(

i don't know whether to smile or scowl at his message

i don't know whether to smile or scowl at his message. he texted me goodnight awhile ago at 11pm, but i guess i forgot to reply since i was watching a movie.

to: luke
goodnight, robert

i was about to turn my phone off again, but he texts back straight away, in under ten seconds.

fr: luke
:-(

to: lukewanna talk about it?

fr: luke
if you're sleepy already, it's fine, this can wait petal :-)

my eyes widen. my heart starts to beat fast as i read luke's three consecutive messages.

"you need to stand out. the girls that stand out for luke are those that seem different. those who he double-texts."

"so if he double-texts me, i'm different?" i ask.

"yup. it means he's interested and that he's more excited to talk to you than the other girls he may be talking to."

i replay the conversation ashton and i had in my head. shit. does this mean i'm already set aside from other girls?
