Timmy gripped his phone tightly, as if it were a prized possession. He couldn't contain the joy bubbling inside him.
Before he even realized it, he let out a small cheer, pumping his fist into the air. His heart felt light, and his face lit up with an unguarded smile. He laughed to himself, a little breathless from the surge of excitement.
"I did it!" he said aloud, the words sounding almost foreign to his own ears. He couldn't help but grin wider. It was like he'd just achieved something monumental—like a schoolboy who had finally caught the attention of his longtime crush.
Timmy stopped mid-step, feeling a bit self-conscious as he looked around to make sure no one was watching. But when he saw the empty space around him, he let out another laugh, softer this time, shaking his head at his own reaction.
