Call him? Text him?

Waiting for the love of your life can be such a nerve wracking experience.

8:35 P.M
This is a good time to shoot a text. It's not too late, not too early. You're doing a good job of not seeming to eager.
I mean, you just got his number yesterday. Maybe you were supposed to wait a week or so before trying to call him. That would defeat the purpose though, you only see him once a week.
Yeah you see him once a week, your heart melts when you see him sitting in the second violin section. Of course he's first chair! I would expect nothing less from him.
Maybe he's doing homework.
Yeah, he's probably doing homework.
You shouldn't text him right now.

9:15 P.M
How late has it gotten? Only nine?
What kind of school does he go to? Think, think, think.
Does he go to a school with a heavy workload? Is he still doing homework?
You're still doing homework, so maybe he is too.
Or maybe he's practicing. He is first chair after all and he didn't get there with just his good looks.
Though, he probably could.
Yeah he's probably practicing. Most people don't text while they practice unlike somebody.
Dear god, does he think I'm an awful cellist? Is that why he doesn't seem interested in talking? You're only sixth chair. He probably likes the girl ahead of you. The red head.
That b***h.

10:37 P.M
Okay, you're gonna text him. What should you say?
The first text is always so awkward. I don't think I can do it.
I'm not gonna text him.

10:56 P.M
I got it!
I'll call him.
That way it's more personal. It will show I'm genuinely interested without seeming too desperate.
Or is it way more desperate than a text.
Oh man is this a bad idea too?
Then again, he's foreign.
His accent's hard enough to understand in person, I have no hope of understanding it over the phone.
When did he come to America again? Three, four months?
Korea right? Yeah Korea.
F**k it. I'm calling him.

10:58 P.M
Ring.
Ring.
Ring.
Ring.
Did you make the wrong choice? Is he not gonna answer?
Ring.
Ring.
(Automated message.)
Oh.

11:34 P.M
It was probably too late. You waited too long and missed your window of opportunity.
Now he probably thinks you're weird. Or worse, obsessive.
It's too late now.
It's over.
You blew it.

11:41 P.M
Maybe he just missed the call.
He'll get back to you soon. Probably before the end of the night.
All he has to do is call or text and you'll be happy.
"Sorry I was busy."
That's probably what will come soon.
You just have to be patient.
He just has to call.

11:42 P.M
Waiting.
Waiting..
Waiting...

11:47 P.M
Buzzzzz! Buzzzz!
Is that my phone?
Is it ringing?!
It must be him! It has to be him!
"Hey man you wanna come over watch some movies or something for a sec?"
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The phone resonates with feedback and dogs begin to howl in the distance.
"Can't you tell that I'm waiting for the love of my life? The air that I breathe? The one who means the world to me! I can't talk right now. I just..."
Did the room get smaller? Is there no more oxygen in your dark bed room? Why did it just become so hard to breathe?
"Why, why do I get so choked up thinking about him?"
There's still no air in this room.
"Are you freaking out about Mr. Kpop?"

12:17 A.M
Waiting.
Waiting..
Waiting...

12:25 A.M
I guess I was being too aggressive.
Maybe it isn't a good idea for a girl to make the first move.
Your pride got in the way and now everything's ruined.
It doesn't even matter anymore.
It's over.
He probably doesn't even know my name.

12:33 A.M
Are you still waiting for him?
Yeah.

12:44 A.M
Waiting.
Waiting..
Waiting...

12:47 A.M
Beep beep!
A text?



<3---- "Hey Faith."

You---"Hey :)"
