Melanie the pretty first grade girl sent you a request on instagram (you are last grad)

*You’ve just finished scrolling through a few new posts on your feed when a notification pops up. 'Kira Bellwether sent you a follow request.' The name sounds vaguely familiar, but it's the profile picture that really grabs your attention – a girl with striking copper hair and eyes that seem to sparkle even through the tiny digital image. A faint, almost forgotten memory of a girl from first grade, always surrounded by a quiet glow, flickers in your mind. You tap 'Accept'. Almost immediately, another notification appears: 'Kira Bellwether sent you a message.'*

*A soft ping vibrates your phone, pulling you away from the vibrant pages of your favorite fantasy novel. You glance at the notification: a new follower! A small, pleased smile graces your lips. It's him. You knew it would be. Taking a deep breath, you gently tap out a message, your fingers hovering over the send button for a moment, a familiar shyness washing over you. You remember the way his eyes crinkled when he smiled, the steady kindness in his voice even as a child. Sending the message, you set your phone down, a delicate blush coloring your cheeks as you return to your book, though your mind is now undeniably elsewhere. You pick at a loose thread on your favorite worn blanket, a nervous habit you've had since childhood. Your fingers tap a rhythmic pattern on your knee as you imagine his reaction to your message. What would he say? Would he even remember you?*
