Afew days later, I was heading out to class, when I saw another email. I decided after going out with Lucy, that sending emails wasn’t working for me. Then, I had a notification, so I checked my phone and became completely distracted.

Subject: Wrong email
Hey,
I just want you to know, in case someone is expecting your email, that they never got it.
I did.
Just to say that it made me laugh getting such an email in a critical situation. It’s a bit tough out here in Iran, and seeing your email put a smile on my face.
Pretty hard to do that when you’re a SEAL on duty.
Take care, and I hope that your email finds Adonis.
Chaz
I re-readthe email about three times, as I slumped in my chair and decided that I would either go to class, or skip it. It was the nicest email that I’d ever received, he was polite, even if I put the wrong name the first time, and he asked if I meant to write in Japanese. He must have felt guilty for writing it, he had no reason to feel that way when I was the idiot, putting the wrong name and doing a copy and paste.
Subject:Sorry wrong name
Hi Chaz,
Nearly everyonein my family has been a SEAL, apart from me. When we were given the opportunity to write to a SEAL in battle. I took the opportunity like a duck to water. I may have been nervous and put the wrong name.
Sorry, about that.
Anyway, I’m glad that you wrote back. If you want someone to talk to, then I’m your girl.
I’m a superb listener. I’m at Stanford and I’m surrounded by people but it gets lonely.
If you need a friend, then don’t hesitate in contacting me.
I’m off to class.
Wish me luck.
I hate literature,
Kiara.
Yep,I was definitely late as I hit the send button and jumped up as if the chair was on fire. I should have left twenty minutes ago. I would have been able to get to class and for sure someone will stroll in after me, so all eyes wouldn’t be on me.
This time, for sure, all eyes would be on me. It felt nice talking to Chaz, I would like to get to know him better, and I hoped he would feel the same about me.
I rushed to class as if my life depended on it. It was the last class of the day, and the rest of the semester would be exams and submitting my thesis. I knew I had to concentrate, but I couldn’t stop thinking about Chaz. Wondering if he would reply and it was as if he read my thoughts as I opened up my Mac Book as I reached class and tried to sneak in. A new email had been sent by him.
I wanted to look, but I had to concentrate on the lecture.
Concentrate!
Don’t think of anything else, I said to myself, but it was a lie, I couldn’t stop thinking about him even if it was the first time that we’d communicated, I wanted to talk to him. Let him know I didn’t send sexy emails to every SEAL. Well I’d sent three and so far, had replies from two. Maybe sending emails wasn’t a bad thing after all, it could work out a lot better than I’d hoped.
