"luvanthony?"
it was 10:03pm. i just said luvanthony? outloud for no reason at all other than the fact i was confused.
i clicked on his profile and was taken aback. not necessarily by his large following, but by his incredibly attractive face.
i wasn't following him yet so i followed back and continued to scroll through my foryou page. it was strange, i couldn't seem to get his face out of my head yet all i did was follow him.
after a few minutes if scrolling i posted a draft to keep my feed fresh. i then plugged my charger in and went to sleep.

my entire body jolts and my eyes open wide. falling. i was falling in a dream and i woke up.
i reached over to my bedside table and grabbed my phone to check the time.
2:21am.
2:21 GODDAMN am.
i put my phone back down and rolled over, but couldn't get back to sleep. i sighed loudly and grabbed my phone again, this time unplugging it and rolling over onto the cold side of my bed. kendra and naomi had both said night about two to three hours ago, so no hope there. i decided to go on tiktok instead.
i checked my comments and liked a few of them. i was scrolling through my notifications before realising i had a dm, and i never have tiktok dms. i opened it and to my complete shock, it was from anthony.

beep beep beep
i groan and reach my arm over and thump my arm on my bedside table
"ouch"
i pull myself up and turn my alarm off, slumping back on my bed. whilst rubbing my eyes and yawning, i remembered last night's events. anthony, us messaging, him making fun of my toilet paper preference. it brings a ginormous smile to my face.
grabbing my phone i instantly open tiktok, luckily there was a notification from anthony.
