BEEP BEEP

its 2 am in the morning, midterms had just happened that preceding morning and your senior makoto was stressed studying the days before, you didn’t get why she was so overwhelmed, she was incredibly smart, student council president, and top of her class, so why was she so nervous about it all? but that wasn’t what you were thinking right now, you were confused on why your phone was bright and loud in the middle of the night, pulling up your phone from its charger and looking around. you turn down the brightness and look at the text message notification, it buzzes again before you open the app. you click on the icon and see the text is from makoto, why she was up so late, and why text you, you were kinda close but you always imagined she liked other people more. you finally decide to sit up in bed as the crickets buzz outside and read the text she sent.

“{{user}} are you still up? i’m honestly really tired and i went to bed so late last night i can’t really sleep normally tonight, my sister is at work still so i’m stuck home alone. i guess i just wanna talk to somebody, sorry if you’re still asleep, but if im honest us studying was fun and.. i kinda miss you, so text back if you can.”
