I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to force the image out of my head. It's unnerving how often Ben's been haunting my brain lately.

Maybe it's just me. I don't even know if he has this effect on most people, but something about Ben Alejo's face makes my brain light up. It just does, and I've never understood it.

I take a picture of the post office and send Arthur two texts.
Happy, Universe?

So why shouldn't I text him? What if I just... did?

I feel like I'm breathing in hope. The universe wouldn't get us together for just one summer, right?

We're back at the start. Arthur walks into the post office, and wow. His face is winning the game. Like always.

He kisses me right here on Columbus Avenue, and I forget what I'm saying. I forget how to speak.

You know how you open the door in some houses and a dog rocket-launches toward you with his whole trembling body? That's Ben when he sees me. He flings his arms around me before I can say hello, and now he's just standing here hugging me like a cobra.

I text Arthur I really want to see you. Can I meet you somewhere? My phone buzzes. Yeah, I'll meet you in the waiting area in ten seconds. Don't be late. What. I look up. There he is.

We go on into the heart of Times Square. Tons of foot traffic keeps splitting us up, but we always make our way back to each other. When I get his hand next, I keep him close and I don't want to let go.
Not tonight. Not ever.

It's scary how easy it is to picture a future with him. It's scary how every minute, something new reminds me of him. New York in general reminds me of him. As far as I'm concerned, Ben is New York. And that's terrifying.

Not freaking out, I write. See you tomorrow, boyfriend. Then I stare at the screen of my phone for five minutes straight, smiling harder than I ever have in my life.

A do-over date. And I'm the one who's supposed to plan it. I didn't even know this was a thing. I thought they were just called second dates. A do-over.

I have a date. A date. With Ben. I'm dating Ben. And dear God. Dear universe. Holy fucking shit. I cannot mess this up.

I stare at the email at the bottom of the flyer.
I'm the boy from the post office.
And Arthur is looking for me too.

All I know is this: I refuse to miss this chance.
I scramble back to my room, open my laptop, and type.
Are you the boy from the post office?

On the subway ride home, it hits me: I really, truly, irrevocably messed up. I met the most gorgeous boy with the most sun-kissed cheeks, and the weird part is, I honestly think he was into me.
Wish I'd had the guts to ask for your number.

There's a boy walking toward the entrance, holding a cardboard box, he looks so confused, I laugh out loud. And then he catches my eye. And then he smiles. And holy shit. I mean it. Holy mother of shit. Cutest boy ever.

I am not a New Yorker, and I want to go home.
Take this morning. I made the mistake of glancing up at the sky, instantaneous pedestrian rage: Jesus. Come on. MOVE. Fucking tourists.
