Nervous fingers fumbled with her cellular device, Nora’s pearly whites digging into her bottom lip as anxiety coursed through her veins. Today was the day she was finally meeting her best friend in person, Grayson-- a platonic soulmate of sorts. The duo had a plethora of online conversations over the years about absolutely everything; they never shied away from any topic whatsoever, no matter how personal. That’s what made online friendships so wonderfully effortless-- you didn’t have to hold anything back, because you were always under the impression that your friend would live miles away from you for eternity.
But alas, the two of them are finally living in the same country-- and not only the same country, but even the same city. As exceptionally happy Nora is about this, she’s also incredibly scared. She’s always been herself, of course, but she wasn’t sure if he’s built any expectations about her. Several questions whirled around the brunette’s mind endlessly: “Is my humor still prevalent in real life? Will he remember that embarrassing story about the glue? Does my breath smell bad? Am I dressed well enough? Shit... am I even ready?”. Regardless if she is ready or not, it was already solidified that they’d meet at this quaint smoothie place. When Nora originally suggested it, she kept in mind that the smoothies she presumed they would be drinking could aid as a kind of escape in order to distract Grayson from how awkward she truthfully is.
Despite the anxiousness, Nora was still more than excited to be meeting Grayson. To be able to actually speak to him in person; to actually witness the small crinkle of his eyes when he laughed or smiled-- a small detail she picked up on through their numerous webcam chats-- right in front of her. She was sure that they would be able to do a bunch of different things together now that they’re both living in Seoul, but of course, none of that would happen without their first official meeting. The pad of her finger tapped the “messages” icon on her iPhone, thumbs frantically tapping against her screen after tapping on Grayson’s name.
