I usually walk down to the ground floor through the not-so-used corridor of my school to board my bus. It was after the bell rung and the sun was setting.

That's how I one day was passing the crowdless floor, casually pulling my bag's straps, alone. Because my bestie, Sara, was absent as she was sick.

Suddenly, "Hey there!", that familiar voice bounced from behind me, a foot away.

My crush's voice creeped under my skin creating chills. I turned to see his handsame face grinning at me.

WTFate?

"Hold on." I looked beside me whether the HOLD ON is for me or anyother lucky girl stealing it.

"Would you mind, if I talk to you for a sec?", he shyly scratches his fair hair.

To be honest, I have never led a conversation with him. I looked around and realised, there was nobody else. JUST US TOGETHER.

With my heart functioning for his rythm not pumping blood, "Yes. Why not?"

"Huh... Um... I would ask you something, but you must not act seriouse, okay?", his eyes lost the contact of mine and his inconvenience gave me wildest dreams.

"Go ahead. I don't mind", even if you ask my hand. I tug a strand of hair behind my ear, smiling inwardly. That's the luckiest thing I've ever experienced.

"Well, (sigh) can I have...", his words tie me up, "...the phone number?"

FOR SERI-fucking-IOUSELY?

"987******5", I blurt my number without remembering I said it. He chuckled his signature chuckle cutely and my heart melts away. "I wasn't matching that, can you say it again?"

And I did, sheepishly smiling from ear to ear. Finally, I am not gonna be single anymore. "Thank you. I never thought this would happen!", he said to me.

"Neither I did!"

We walked all the way to my bus, together. He then waved me, "Bye, see ya." I waved him back but my body short-circuited when he added, "Tell Sara, that I would call her tonight!"
