1. HUMAN INTERACTION
Daniel bloody freaking god of YouTube Howell knows I exist. No way.

As I walk into Tesco, the first thing that catches my eye is a tall shelf full of brightly coloured drinks. "LOSE FIVE KILOS IN A MONTH! TASTES EXACTLY LIKE SOFT DRINK BUT WITHOUT THE CALORIES!" the labels on the bottles read. I snort a little, without the calories my arse. Advertising those drinks with a label claiming they have no calories in them is just like buying a can of Pepsi and scrawling "NO SUGAR" on the side in permanent marker.

Rolling my eyes, I walk away from the shelf, before pulling my phone out of my pocket. I unlock my phone and go on twitter, hoping at the same time people move aside rather than walk into me.

in tesco – hoping no one walks into me lol

Just seconds after I tweet, people have already replied. The replies vary from "I hope someone walks into you lmao" to "follow me omg1!1!". I have such nice followers. I see a couple of people tweet asking when I'm gonna post my next video because majority of them know far I stray from deadlines, and I tweet them back with,

Allison Lin awkwardallison
to everyone that asked, new video up sometime soon. probably will be filmed tomorrow night bc we all know that there is a a 99.9% that i'm not going out on a friday night #nosociallife

awkwardallison And that 0.01% is exactly when, Alli?

I laugh. Kat is my flat mate and best friend – we've known each other since year nine, which is a long time, seeing as we're twenty.

katrinalovesu11 that 0.01% is if the apocalypse happens on a friday night

As soon as I finish tweeting that, I look up, and see that I'm about to walk into someone. I lock my phone and slip it back into my pocket before attempting to move out of the way, but unfortunately, he's on his phone as well so he doesn't know that's he going to walk into me. And so he does. Ugh. Out of the corner of my eye, I see him drop whatever he's holding and I'm about to apologise and help him pick his things up, but then I see his face, and I freeze.

It's Dan Howell. The Dan Howell. Danisnotonfire. Youtuber. Famous. Internet cult leader. I just walked into Dan Howell and made him drop his stuff. Oh my god. I'd met him at VidCon once, but he didn't really pay attention to me, and had just smiled and signed my t-shirt. He was paying attention me now - the next time I see him at a YouTube event, he'll definitely remember me as the girl who made him drop his stuff at Tesco.

"People these days," I hear him mutter as he bends down. "Don't even know how to apologise."

"You think I walked into you?" Play it cool, Alli, play it cool. So I raise an eyebrow incredulously. "More like you walked into me. I tried to move out of the way, but you – you just walked right into me."

"I walked into you? Sure. Ha." He rolls his eyes. He's not as charming in real life compared to in his videos, however he's still Dan. A watered down version of his YouTube self. "The least you could do is apologise."

"Or you could apologise, seeing as you walked into me." Still attempting to be cool and not squeal, I realise I'm probably gonna end up making him mad. Oops. At least I can say I had a conversation with Dan Howell or something.

People are gonna be like "Oh my god! You met Dan Howell? Did you take pictures and get his autograph? What did he say?"

And I'll just be like, "I made him mad, oops."

This is why I should never be allowed to interact with other human beings.

I look up at him again, and he scowls.

+5! Congratulations, Alli! You just made Dan Howell pissed off! Note to self – never talk any other living being again. Ever.

"Can you just apologise? Then we can we can just walk away from each other and never see each other ever again." Dan says, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Why don't you just walk away then?" I retort. Shit, I just unintentionally played the rude card. Why is my mouth incapable of saying nice things?

"I have more subscribers than you!" he stomps his foot. I thought they only did that in movies–

Wait, did he just say I have more subscribers than you?

Dan Howell knows I exist. Daniel bloody freaking god of YouTube Howell knows I exist.

No way.

"Uh, sorry." He scratches the back of his neck, "it's a YouTube thing."

Oh.

He doesn't know who I am and just said it to prove that he was more he had more superiority. Hmph.

I take my phone back out of my pocket, and again, go on twitter. This time, I tweet,

Allison Lin awkwardallison
just walked into danisnotonfire at tesco. literally

When I look back up, at him, his phone beeps, and as he looks down at it, I smirk. Must be a pain for him if his fans tag him all the time.

Upon next glance, Dan's eyes widen and I laugh. As I turn my back and walk away, in the corner of my eye, I swear I can see him grin.
