Day 1 - Part 1

She lazily stretched and stifled a loud yawn.. Her eyes flew to the old pink clock mounted in her room, for a moment she panicked and then she let out a satisfied sigh as she comfortably slumped into her bed. She had no where to hurry to, it was the first day of vacation. A much needed summer break she's been counting days to.

She dug her toes into the soft cosy mattress, curled up and clutched her blanket tighter a small smile momentarily appeared on her face as she wafted back into her dreams.

Oh how she loved days like this, after weeks of hardly getting any sleep. scramble for notes and the much awaited end of her finals, here she finally was. She stayed in bed a little longer, just relaxing and humming along. Little did she know this day was gonna bring a big change in her life.

She loved the non routine the holidays brought. After brushing her teeth and a nice long shower she stepped out to get something to eat.. having ransacked her fridge and platting up everything edible, she sat down in front of her computer rather cozily and got ready for a long marathon of her favorite show.

Six hours later, she had no clue how time passed so quickly. After a quick bathroom break, she decided to revive her now almost non existent social life.

As she punched her Facebook password rather hurriedly something made her smile. As she scrolled through her inbox one name caught her attention, a knowing smile appeared on her lips as she waited for the message to open. It was not a total surprise, she was rather expecting it.. her mind went back to two days ago and the crazy conversation she had with a close friend, Ava. Ava and she had been friends since forever, a month ago Ava got committed which she was clueless about it till a week back. When she finally got a chance to confront her after a drama filled 15 mins, which included a glass of coke poured on her head, a high pitched exchange and finally a promise by Ava to come clean...things settled. And that's when Ava told her someone else wanted to talk to her about the whole thing, someone who was as shocked as her when he heard of her relationship. She gave Ava a curious look and Ava only giggled and instead pointed to a conversation on her phone. 

She read the name and memories from earlier flashed across her mind. She laughed at how innocent they all were back then. One particular memory about him made her frown.. She remembered how they all had a lame pointless deal to hit each other every time a plane passed.. Anyone who forgot to hold up their thumb was entitled to a good whack by the others. Her frown deepened as she remembered how she complained to her mum bout him, saying he hit her on purpose the hardest and how her mom brushed it off with a loud laugh.

Five years later it would be rather interesting to talk to the same guy she thought. She read the text and it was two simple words.. it was a "Hey" followed by her name. And he had got her name wrong. Of all the annoying people in the world, she had a intense dislike and need to constantly correct the ones that couldn't spell. I mean how hard is it to copy a name from your screen!

She replied with a hi and a apology and of course, telling him he got her name all wrong.
