School-
I couldn't control my excitement in the first four periods. I was just waiting for the bell to ring and run to his classroom. I had bought him a black tie as a gift because it was on his wish list and in my budget.
When the bell rang, I took the gift-wrapped box and went to his classroom.
Canteen-
"I can't believe he's absent on his birthday." I whined.
"Stop crying. You can send him a request on Instagram." Stace suggested.
"You think? He gets hundreds of requests each day. He might ignore mine." I said.
"Don't be so stupid. Just give it a shot. Give me your phone." She said.
"No- I- I'll do it myself when I go home." I said.
"Bet? If you don't, I'll make a fake account and text him." She said.
"Are you for real? Don't ever do that." I said and she laughed.
Home-
I reached home at 9 when mom was getting ready.
"Hurry up and change." She ordered so I went upstairs to my room. I threw my bag on the bed and turned on my Laptop.
"If not now, then never." I said to myself as I opened Instagram and sent Ethan a request message.
Me: Hey Ethan.
Me: I'm Gwen. Idk if you know me by name but I'm sure you've seen me. I'm in grade 12-1.
I left my laptop on and started changing because I knew my request would be lying in his DMs forever.
But I heard a notification sound.
"Some stupid advertisement or E-mail?" I muttered while slipping into my denims.
Another notification
"It's not possible." I said to myself, squinting my eyes at the screen.
