Lotus Flower,

Once I was done reading the email, all I could do was stare at it in shock.

Health? What's wrong with your health? It's just a cold right? I mean there's no way - that's just impossible... Forgetting that ridiculous thought, I relaxed my shaking hands and began to type. 

"Noah, what's wrong? Are you alright? You'll get better soon right?"

It felt like hours before you finally emailed me back, when it was probably only a few minutes.

"I'm fine. I'll get better soon."

I'm not sure why, but I'd this gut feeling you were lying. So I asked again.

 "You sure?"

"Yes^^ I'll be out in no time, just in time for your birthday :)"

He knew? Okay, of course he knew. Facebook probably sent him a reminder.

"Oh yeah my birthday."

Even though it was my birthday, I wasn't really too excited about it.

"You don't seem excited. What's wrong?"

It was just like you to know. You could always tell when I wasn't myself.

"Well it's just that I'm getting older :/"

"Boo, you're not old. You're beautiful^^ Plus, I'll be turning seventeen, eight days after you."

"I know... but still."

"Cheer up sweetheart :) Because guess what?"

"What?"

"After your weekend out with your friends, it will be just you and me^^"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm taking you out on our first date^^"

Just reading about the word date made me blush a deep red. Then it hit me. Wait... a minute, date?

"Oh my God, really? We finally get to meet?"I

know what you're thinking... but I couldn't help it! I was just way too excited!"

Yup! Your wish will finally come true ;) You get to see me^^"

"Pssh, I'd never wished for that!"

"Uh huh... now just keep your calendar free this Monday."

"Will do! Where are we meeting?"

"At my school. It would be easier that way since you know where it is right?"

"Of course, it's only an hour away from where I live."

"Good :) Until then my love ;) Remember that I will always love you^^"

"I will :) Love you too <3"

Even though our conversation ended there, I was content and happy. I was able to fall asleep with a smile on my face that night.

***

Six days later, I was parked in Tri-State High's parking lot. This was it, the day I finally get to meet you. Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm myself down. After counting to ten in my head, I glanced at myself in my rear-view mirror once last time, hoping I looked okay. 

Opening the car's door, a cold breeze hit me suddenly, making me shiver. Pulling my jacket closer to me, I made my way up towards the school's entrance.

Seeing a figure up ahead, my smile brighten. You were here. But once I got closer, I realized you had black hair instead of blonde and you had soft ocean blue eyes instead of warm chocolate brown eyes.
