3 A terrible day and an incredible night.

I wake up later than usual, obviously because I didn't have classes. I see the time and it's 9:15 in the morning, I brush and have breakfast. I see that my mom is on the PC and my little sister is still sleeping. Rowan had given me her cell phone number, that's another thing that I never expected.

I never thought he would like me like this out of nowhere. Although I never had a relationship with her, I thought she was one of those girls who believe a great deal, just to have money and beauty.

A few minutes pass and I call her. She doesn't answer me the first time, I call her again and now she does.

"Hello. Rowan?" I say a little nervous.

"Hi, Ryan." Says the angelic voice.

"Oh. Hello, Rowan. How are you?

"I'm fine and you?"

"Very well," I say, imagining her.

"Will you come now, I suppose?" He asks, with a certain nervousness.

"Y-sure. I'll go." I stutter, something very strange about me.

"Well, I'll wait for you. Don't forget at 9:00 PM"

"Yes, calm down. I will never forget it." I smile at the cell phone.

"Okay, I hope so."

We spent 15 minutes talking, just nonsense that I could think of to make her laugh ("believe me, it's the best method when you're ugly") and tell her that I liked meeting her and stuff. I am going to Facebook to review the notifications and to communicate with my friends from the previous Institute where I was. Apparently no one is online, not my friend Travis or my friend Matteo. I decide to close the laptop and open the book Be Different.

After 4 hours, I read the book a bit, fell asleep and then got up for lunch. I looked at the time and it was 6:00 PM, it was almost time and I needed a decent shirt. I went through the closet and it was just fucking shit. Quickly, I run to my mom and say:

"Mom, lend me your credit card. I need to go out and buy a shirt!"

"What don't you have?" He asks as he watches TV.

"No, I don't have 'decent' clothes." I use my fingers to make 'quotes'.

"Agh," she complains, "okay, here. I'm just giving it to you because I got paid yesterday." She laughs, showing me her credit card.

I put on a hat because it is drizzling, and I run to the shopping center closest to the house. The place is called Animals, at first I thought it was a pet store, but no, it was a shopping center with very good quality clothes. I enter and ask the girl who attends.

"Size M shirts?" I say a little clueless.

"Over there". She points to her left, toward a place where there are only size M clothes.

I run and see a very beautiful sky blue with white shirt. I grab it and measure it. When I look in the mirror I see that it looks good on me. I pay with the card and I leave the mall. Leaving C.C Animals, I see that Rowan is coming towards me. I try to ninja dodge her but she sees me.

"How the hell do I find Rowan here?" I think.

"Hi Ryan!" From her reddish mouth comes an incredibly beautiful voice.

"Uh, ho..." He kisses my cheek. "Hi, Rowan..." I say very dumbfounded.

"What were you doing here?" He asks, looking at the shirt.

"Nothing, I was just picking up a shirt for my mom." I lie. I don't want her to think I don't have clothes.

"Oh good, I'm going to that restaurant." She points to the site. "I'm waiting for you now, bye!"

"Goodbye..." I pray to God that he didn't think of anything.

I don't know what is going to be weirder, that I'm in a millionaires' house or that she sees me with the shirt that apparently belongs to my mother, but that's okay. Almost arriving at my house, I look at my cell phone and see that it is 7:30 p.m. "God, I have to hurry!" I hand my mom my credit card, undress, and take a shower.

7:57 PM: I go out, run to my room to get dressed, put on some black pants, a blue shirt and black Nike shoes. I go out, I pass through the living room and I notice that a voice calls me. She was my mother.

"Ryan, I need you to go to the store on the corner," he says, handing me some bills.

"What for? Mom, I'll am running late," I say, being a bit frantic.

"Easy, you won't last long." He hands me the list of what I'll buy.

I buy and I go to pay, when I approach the checkout, I see a huge queue. If I go back, he won't let me go to the party. Let's do it. "It crossed my mind at the time." I get to the cashier and pay what I bought. Running, I get to the house and give the purchases to Mom. Looking for, with the cell phone, the address of Rowan's house, I go to the station to wait for a taxi.

20:48: The taxi arrives and I get on, I give it the address...

21:25: I run towards the mansion and I see that there are 2 guys at the entrance:

"Name?" She says in a super deep voice.

"Ryan."

"Pass".

After all, I make it to the party. I greet Rowan, Arnold and Bella who were there near her. I explain why I was late and they laugh at this.

"Thanks for coming, Ryan," Rowan says, looking me in the eye.

"Don't thank me," I blush a little.

After a while, I sit on a bench alone and think ... What am I doing here? Then Bella comes up to me and says:

"He likes you."

"How?" I say, being very impressed.

"She likes you, she confessed to me yesterday."

I was speechless. I didn't believe it, I thought she was joking.

Something was wrong, how overnight can you like me? I cannot trust myself, I must find out well this.
