Clarity

Daisy made her way to her seat from where she was in the crowd, but her attention was firmly fixed on Edward. She was astounded by Edward and his quick reactions. Section 1 had won the game at this point. It was three in the afternoon. Daisy boarded the bus and arrived at her home exhausted. She reached for her phone on the nightstand after getting dressed and freshened up. Her eyes widened in shock as her phone began to buzz with texts. Numerous texts were sent, but only the first one from "Edward Leo" attracted her attention.

"Daisy, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for my earlier behaviour; I was just angry and snapped at you. I know it's stupid to text you while sitting directly behind you, but I couldn't help myself. Daisy Rose, I apologise deeply. Please pardon me."

At 1:15 p.m. The text Daisy received was sent before the football event, and she also received texts about "Swagger Edward Leo" from her peers, the school community, and Anna. Daisy decided to text Edward despite the fact that it was too late and the message had already been sent four hours prior. Although she was shocked that Edward hadn't apologised to her face, she was touched that he had texted her an apology.

Embarrassed?

"Oh, Hi Edward, it's alright now, I forgive you."

She sent a message, but felt like there should be more, so she typed,

"And rather of taking your anger out on someone else, you should discuss the source of your annoyance.."

When she noticed the blue ticks on her previous text, indicating that Edward had read and begun it, she was about to send the text.

Typing!

She sent her other text right away, and at the same instant, a text from Edward came.

"Well, that's great, so we are friendly now??"

Daisy typed, "Yeah, we are," while grinning to herself.

She assumed Edward was upset about the text because he hadn't responded to her earlier text, and he responded,

"I didn't mean to say anything, so disregard this; you are free to act anyway you like."

"Actually... You are correct Daisy, I should have followed your advice, Edward said in response." Daisy was definitely not in a normal state, yet the message seemed calm and natural. In wonder and elation, she was flying at a high enough altitude.

She responded after performing a happy dance for about two minutes while pounding her bedside with her feet.

"Yeah. "

"When do you want to start the project, then?"

"What project?" Daisy felt perplexed.

"Yes, the project that we were given today. Do you not recall?"

"I see that one, I want to work alone 0on it, but it's okay."

"And yet, why is that?"

"I just.. "

"You feel uneasy and fear that I'll make fun of you because I think of you as a drama queen, which is completely false as I made clear earlier. I'm sorry"

How could Edward share Daisy's sentiments? How could he draw attention to the same insecurity Daisy was struggling with? Edward struck Daisy as both dark and sweet at the same time. Daisy was on the verge of tears.

"That's not what I mean; I just don't want to make you feel uncomfortable. I'll send you the details, which you can then compile if you like and send to the teacher."

"If you are anticipating that the symptoms of social anxiety will freak me out and cause me to act inappropriately, that won't happen."

"I... "

"And one more thing, don't cry despite your best efforts to hold back.

I'm not crying, Daisy said as her eye expanded.

Okay, like you said, but you will persuade yourself to do what I am advising against.

She nearly broke down and said, "Edward, I'm fine." was what she said, but what she wanna say was, "The way you know me, Edward, makes me cry a river for you."

"I'm glad since I don't want to make my partner uncomfortable. Now, is that okay?"

Words "My partner," cause her to almost yell.

"Yeah, Edward, I got it."

'It must have been a hard day for you; OK, now take a nap or eat something; bye."

"Yes, it was you as well. Goodbye."

She can't help but think to herself as she rolls around on her bed,

"Yes, Edward, it had been a hard day."
