SUBJECT: I feel like I'm right about this

Hey Aimee,
Before I ask this, I have to tell you something. I'm always here for you and I love you. I might even like you more than a normal friend. I'm always thinking about you, always checking my phone for you. I love how awkward you are, how dorky you are and how you're the dumbest and smartest person I've ever met. I love how you talk about the things you love and I don't want to stop talking to you. But I know something and I feel like I'm right with this and I just have to tell you. It wouldn't be right if I didn't.
I think I know your name, I'm pretty sure I'm right.
Adora, right?
Love, Rain

Yeah, that's me.
Please don't leave.
I love you too, I really do. You're amazing Rain, you're everything anyone would ever want. I am Adora, I don't know if that's a good or bad thing for you. I know you probably read that post, god this sucks. I know you don't want to tell me your name and that's okay. I'm just wondering this, do we know each other?
It's okay not the answer, you won't leave me.
Love, Adora

We do know each other and I have to say, I quite like you. I was secretly kind of hoping that it would be you.
Love, Rain.

--------------------
Adora was dancing around in her room after she read that email. Rain wanted it to be her, Rain liked her. She didn't just like Aimee, she liked Adora.

The thought of that made Adora's heart beat so much faster. She imagined her and Rain, together, doing things that couples would do.

She spent most of the weekend thinking about Rain and talking with her, she could feel herself getting closer to Rain.
Rain now knew her name, she knew who she was, what she looked like. Adora had no idea what Rain looked like or what her real name was.

The thought of that kind of bothered Adora, but on the other side, she did know a little bit more than before. She now knew that she knew Rain, she had even talked with her.

It wasn't a lot of information, but it was enough to keep Adora thinking for a while. At first it was all positive, mostly her fantasizing about her and Rain or thinking who Rain might be.

But everyone who knows how it is to overthink things also knows that it's never a good idea. After Adora had thought about it for a while, she started worrying about the fact that Rain didn't tell her her name.

Maybe Rain didn't like her, maybe she liked the idea of just talking to Adora but never anything more. Maybe Rain wasn't even who she's saying it is, maybe it's some guy, maybe she's some bully. Maybe she's Hordak.

Adora really had no way of knowing, it might have all been just some cruel prank. If Rain really did like her, she would have told Adora her name by now.

But she didn't, so what if she didn't like her? Rain said that she liked her, but maybe she said that on impulse or maybe she was just straight up lying.

Adora really did not know anymore, maybe Rain was a liar.

A week went by, her and Rain had still talked but with no real progress. Adora had become really insecure about her and Rain as time went by.

She had kind of said it in her emails, but in between the lines. She had become a little more distant from Rain, because she didn't know how to think or what to do.

She decided was thinking about writing an email asking her to be honest but she decided against it when she found something in her locker.

It was a shirt, to be more specific it was a shirt from cavetown, the singer she had told Rain about. She barely talked about what kind of music she liked, except for with Rain.

She noticed something else too, it had a little note by it. It was written in the most beautiful handwriting.

I've noticed you've been kind of insecure about me lately, I can read between the lines. I must say, I do really like you Adora. I love the way you laugh, I love your dorkiness. I love the way you can't ever seem to relax which makes you fiddle with your sleeve, it's really cute. I love your blue eyes, I love how you smile like you don't realize you're doing it. So if you think for even a second that I'm not attracted to you, you're crazy.

Underneath she wrote her phone number. Adora gets a little tingly feeling thinking about it. The way Rain wrote 'love' was something Adora wanted to look at every day.

Adora had Rain's phone number.

Even though she could call Rain right now and find out who she was, she didn't.

There was a carnival tonight and she was going to ask Rain to come. Adora didn't even really know Rain, but she was falling so hard for her. She just simply had to see her.

She had thought it through a bunch of times and it seemed like the best idea. She texted Rain one of the longest messages she had ever sent anyone.

Private chat: Rain
Hey Rain, it's Adora.
I found your note and the shirt, I loved it so much. Thank you, thank you so much. I also have to tell you, you have great handwriting. I don't know if it's even possible to fall in love through mail but I think I've done it. I was doubting for a little bit because I don't know your name or your face. But now I realize something, I know you. I know your smart, funny and cute. I know you care about your friends even though you would never admit it. You have an entirely different way of thinking than anyone else I've ever met. I've been rereading our emails for a while and I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I just know that I really like you. There's a badass carnival tonight, apparently it'll be open until nine. I'll be at the ferris wheel around 6:30, I really hope to you there.
Send at 2:24 PM

Adora really hoped Rain would there. She felt a type of nervousness in her stomach but in a good way.

She might meet Rain tonight.
