Ding!
The sound had me reaching for my phone like a crazy person. My heart was pounding so loudly I could almost taste it. It sounded gross, I know, but that is what it felt like. Trying my best to not respond immediately, I calmed myself down and let ten minutes pass.
Skywalker: sup
I noticed how he didn't use any emojis or say hey using the extra Ys. A change in texting meant a change in his behaviour.
Me: hi
Skywalker: how have you been
Me: good:) how about you?
Skywalker: I've been perfecttt. I came up with thee most perfect plans for us to spend time together
Butterflies erupted in my stomach, making me feel a tad but nauseous. Is this what it felt like to be excited to speak with someone? I didn't enjoy the feeling. Novels needed to start describing how not so nice the "eruption of butterflies" feeling was.
Me: I told you that I cannot leave the house. Don't be so hard on me:(
Skywalker: I know I know. We can still spend time together even if we are windows apart
Windows apart. I liked the sound of that.
Me: um okay. what's the plan Skywalker?
Skywalker: don't worry your Jazzy Pants about that. are you free tomorrow?
Me: it's a Sunday. Who is busy on a Sunday?
Skywalker: school students:/ but anyway I'll send you my perfect plan tomorrow then
Me: wait aren't you on holiday?
Skywalker: yep but my school assigned us an insane amount of work
Skywalker: you do homeschooling I'm guessing...
Me: yep. I'll be done this year. Can't wait to not do anything for an entire year
Skywalker: hold up. You taking a gap year?
Me: yesss
Skywalker: me too! We should go on an adventure together
Me: sounds cool:)
Me: your plan better be good by the way. Now go do your homework Skywalker. We have to defeat Darth Vader
Skywalker: another Star wars thingamajig:( I thought we were done with this
Me: and I thought I told you that it is Star Wars not Star wars! Do not make me summon the force and take you down!
Skywalker: psh please
Skywalker: and I'm so sorry for ghosting you for two days btw. I badly wanted to find a way to get to hang out. I am not that type of guy. I don't ghost girls or anyone. If anything, I always want to be the one to send the last message. Jazzy Pants you have to believe me. I did not mean to ghost you
Me: take a chill pill dude
Me: it's okay. Didn't take it personal
Lies. I was worried sick and i couldn't even eat.
Skywalker: :)) see ya tomorrow then
Me: byeeee
Skywalker: byeeeee
Me: byeeee ರ_ರ
Skywalker: byeeeeeeeeee
Me: dude goodbye!

Me: okay fine you win
Skywalker: oh yes
Me: goodnight
Skywalker: night Jazz pants
Me: :)
Skywalker: :)))
Me: *sighs* what are you doing to yourself
Skywalker: what are YOU doing to yourself. Thus conversation could have ended a long time ago.
Me: can't you just survive without sending the last text??
Skywalker: no. It's hurts.
Me: fine. You win bye
Skywalker: I always win. Byeeee
Me: :) do you?
Skywalker: yep
I tried my best not to smile for the remaining hours of the day. But I couldn't help it. I absentmindedly smiled while I read my novel, ate, listened to music, changed into my pyjamas, jumped into bed, and closed my eyes.

The following day, I received a long text from Luke. Thinking that it had something to do with him confessing his feelings towards me, I hurriedly opened the message only to be met with his genius plan as to how we could spend time together.
