This Week Only
(February 9-14, 2025)
Iβm releasing Part One of every Crush in the Chronicles out so far, one each day of the week, free! (Including journal prompts and playlists, which are usually a paid subscriber feature, just for this week.)
I hope you enjoy these little pieces of my heart as we move through the second week of February.
Today, I share The Meet-Cute, the lengthiest crush story in the Chronicles thus far, originally published in August of 2024.
Have a great Wednesday, and pay attention to your surroundings.

π€ The Meet-Cute
Walking through the crowded Student Center, I dodged teenagers, tables, and chairs as I headed toward the Arts Hall, located through the set of doors on the opposite side. Unaccompanied at this moment by any friends, I walked solo, my black messenger bag, the front flap styled with a collection of buttons from Hot Topic, was slung over my left shoulder; my black, curly hair, laced with highlights, bobbed up and down with each step I took.
As I normally did when navigating the halls of high school when on my own, I didnβt pay much attention to the people around me, as I was usually deep in thought, either with stressors about school, thoughts from my previous class, or conversations I had with friends that day. I wasnβt one of those girls who would get stopped in the hall to be talked to unless it was by someone I already knew.
Until that day.
See you tomorrow. π
