The sun rises, the birds chirp, the alarm clock rings and my dream.......shatters. Waking up is the hardest part in the morning. People say that waking up early makes you feel fresh all day but why do I always get more tired. I wash up and get ready to go to school without having breakfast. Why? Because I was getting late. On the way to school, I clashed with someone in front of me and I fell down on the ground cause I was not paying attention on the road since, I was in a hurry. I wondered who the other one was and if he was okay but when I looked up my heart melted cause that person was just a stupid electric pole and I thought it could be something romantic. After that I ran to school and reached on time, but I found no one at school. I was starting to get nervous and scared thinking that I was late. When I went inside the school building I found no one, I ran and searched the whole building and the school compounds, but sadly there was no one." OMG!! am I the only one alive?" I thought, but that happens only in dreams so I just gave up searching and thought of going back home. But then I felt cold and nervous as if someone was coming towards me from behind. Then suddenly a hand reached out to me and taped on my shoulder, I was so scared that I passed out. Later after sometime I woke up. I was feeling so sleepy but then there was someone infront of me, i couldn't see that person properly because I had just woken up. So I cleared my eyes properly and looked at that person. When I saw that person, my heart began to pump faster, birds began to sing, light was shining and tears came flowing down my face. That person was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life. She looked as if she came down from heaven. She was saying something to me but I couldn't hear anything cause I was lost in her beauty. Then she came and told me if I was okay but her voice was damn beautiful and cute. She was saying if I was alright or not, i told her I was more then alright. Then she asked me, "why are you at school, today's holiday. Didn't you check the information that was given yesterday?" I was very schoked and embarrassed at that time, I didn't know what to say cause of embarrassment so I just told her that I came to school for some school project. She was smiling and started to laugh but her smile and the way she laughed was so cute that I thought I was in heaven. I asked her why she was here at school if it was holiday. She replied to me saying that she came to fine her keychain. Then without wasting any time I took the opportunity and told her that I would help her find it. She was pleased and happy. So after more than one hour we finally found the keychain. She was very happy but the most happiest was me. Then she said that she had some work so she had to leave early. I wanted to ask her number but I was too embarrassed (actually cause I'm an introverted person) to ask her but I didn't know why, she wrote her number in a piece of paper and gave it to me and went home. I didn't know how to react and I stood there like a statue for like 10 minutes.

          I didn't know how to react and I stood there like a statue for like 10 minutes. After all that drama I went back home but then I realized that I forgot to ask her name. That day I thought of that girl all day and I wanted to text her but I couldn't just text her unnecessarily. I looked at my phone for more than thirty minutes and started to play games. It was late night, and I was still thinking how to text her. I tried to type 'hello' but then I thought it was a bit cringe, so I deleted it, but then I noticed that I mistakenly clicked the send option instead of the delete option. I was very nervous and scared and also embarrassed but then suddenly a notification appeared. When I checked the notification, it was her who replied to my text. I was shocked ( IDK why I was shocked), but at the same time happy but again at the same time I was nervous too. I didn't know how to reply, so I just wrote 'how are you' and sent her, but sadly I didn't get any reply. I started to get nervous. Not only that, but I was thinking what the reason might be but sadly I dozed off.

          I was sleeping so peacefully but then suddenly a notification appeared on my phone which disturbed my sleep. I was very angry and thought who might that person be, but when I checked, it was the girl. My anger just vanished, she sent me a message saying that she was busy and also it was late so she couldn't reply to my message. I felt relieved after seeing her text. There was a saying that 'grasp every opportunity you get', so I courageously texted her if I could meet her. I was nervous waiting for her reply. But then suddenly she replied back to me saying that today she was free so she told me to come to the cafe near the school. At that moment I felt something inside me. A feeling that I have never had, a feeling that I experienced for the first time, a feeling that I was comforted.

          I wore my best outfit, sprayed my best perfumes that I had and the best hair cream and also a mouth freshener (just in case). I asked my father if he was kind enough to give me some money since I was broke as hell. He gave me 500 rupees, now what can we buy with 500 rupees, in this generation 500 is nothing. I begged my father to increase the money a bit. He was suspecting me a bit so he asked me why I needed it. I didn't hesitate to tell him that I was going to meet a girl and that was the worst mistake I had made. I shouldn't have told him that I was meeting a girl (now he teases me every time I go outside). But atleast he increased the money and gave me 2000 rupees. I was very happy because I knew that my father would always support me, he even said not to tell this to my mother (actually he's scared of my mom but he really loves her).

          I walked towards my destination and when I was about to reach the cafe I checked for her first if she was inside. I looked closely from the window outside and saw her and OMG she was looking damn beautiful but some people walking behind me were gossiping that I was a pervert. Seriously?? A PERVERT??? They don't know that she's my girlfriend (girlfriend means a friend who is a girl). I went inside the cafe, she waved at me and i sat in front of her. I told her she was looking beautiful. I don't know how I got the courage to say that or maybe I guess it's in my blood which I got from my father. My father was also an introverted person like me. I wanted to ask her name but first I asked what she wanted to eat. I called the waiter in a cool way and told the waiter to bring two cafe lattes. I thought I had impressed her but she was laughing at me. I was confused and asked why she was laughing. She said that I asked her what she wanted to have and without even knowing what she wanted I just instantly ordered two cafes. I was so embarrassed by that and i didn't know what I should say at that time. But then she smiled and said that she actually liked latte so she was impressed by me. Upon hearing that I became a bit comfortable and happy. I asked her what her name was and she replied saying that she had written her name in that paper which she gave me with her number. She was laughing and saying how careless I was but she also said that I looked cute when I looked dumb and careless. I was pleased by just hearing that, not because she said that i was careless but because she said I looked cute. I asked her to tell me her name since I had already lost that paper. She said that her name was Emily.
