I'm A Fan
Chris finally moved out to New York to pursue his dream in becoming a writer. It was a sad day when he left his mom dad and sister. He misses them dearly, but It was time to start his life. He had just graduated from college; you can say he is fresh to the real world. But he refuses to be eaten by the sharks that lurk in the rough waters of the world. He had a beautiful one-room studio that had a kitchen and a bathroom. It was small, but it was home to Chris.
"Mr. Colfer," Chris's landlord stopped him before heading towards the elevator. Chris turned around smiling
"Yes?" Chris walked over to his desk.
"We just want to welcome you to our apartments and give you a welcoming gift. He slid two tickets onto the table. Chris picked them up surprised that they were Broadway Tickets.
"What! I can't believe this, thank you; this is so kind of you guys." Chris smiled. He turned them over to see they were to How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying with Darren Criss and Bou Bridges. Chris almost fainted. "Thank you Mr. Maxwell. I swear I'll never be late on rent after this you deserve rent on time without hassle." Chris laughed
"Don't worry about it, oh and welcome to the Big Apple!"
"Thank you." Chris smiled running up to his room to call his family.
"I know mom I cant believe that I am going to see Darren Criss. I'm like the biggest fan ever!" Chris rambled landing on his bed.
"I know sweetie I am so glad your having fun in New York; you know that Me, your dad and Hannah are going to be coming over to Thanksgiving right?" Chris smiled
"Yes I know I will have everything ready dont worry." Chris's mom sighed.
"I know your so grown up its amazing." Chris laughed.
"Yes, mom thats what College does to you." Chris sighed playing with the quilt beneith him. "I miss you though, and daddy and Hannah. I miss being home, but this is where I should be." Chris sighed,
"Yes, I know. And I cant believe that you are finally living your dream." Chris's mom smiled.
"Mom, I'm gonna head to bed, remember, time difference."
"Oh yes, I remember, I just have to get use to it. Its not like you are across town in the dorms anymore." Chris's mom sighed. "I miss you Chris, love you."
"Love you too mom, see you soon." Chris said hanging up the phone, turning on his back looking up at his abstract ceiling, filled with pipes and wood beems. "Welcome home Chris, welcome home."
Chris stepped outside his apartment building taking in the cool autum air. He smiled pulling his jean jacket closer to his body as he walked with the crowd of people heading uptown. Cross over 5th avenue, Chris walked through Bryant Part to the Starbucks on the corner. The line of course was out the door.
"Only in the city." Chris whispered to himself.
"Thank God it isnt cold." A small voice said behind him. He turned around to see a breunet short, jewish (telling by the nose.)
"Yea, I know. Chris," He put a hand out. She smiled taking it greatfully.
"Leah, Leah Michelle." She smiled.
"Cool name, I'm just Chris Colfer." He laughed lightly. Leah smiled.
"Yes, but regular names always means an unquie person underneith." Leah smiled.
"Yes, I like that saying." Chris smiled.
"So have you lived here your whole life or in school?" He asked as the line moved up slightly.
"No I have lived here my whole life; well the Bronx, but same thing." She waved her hand. Chris nodded.
"I just moved here from L.A. I wanted to come here to pursue my dream." Chris looked at the cracked pavement.
"And whats that?" She aked curiously.
"A writer." Chris sighed.
"That is amaizing, you dont meet a writer everyday, not even in New York." Leah smiled.
"What about you?" Chris asked.
"Broadway Actress, well I'm still in College, but I'll be there one day." Leah smiled.
"That's really cool, you must be a wonderful singer. How old are you?" Chris asked.
"I'm not going to toot my own horn, I'm 20. Only a year left and I can start aplying with a degree under my belt- how about you? How old are you?"
"I'm only a year older then you- 21." Chris smiled.
"Well, Chris, what are you doing today?" Leah smiled as they finally entered the Starbucks building, still on line.
"Nothing, just going to explore the city. I have spent a week here and haven't seen anything but 5th, because I live about four blocks down." Chris shrugged.
"Do you mind if I tag along I was going to go study, but that sounds a lot more fun." Leah laughs.
"No problem, maybe you can help me around. And show me the best places to go to eat and shop." Chris smiled turning to the cashier. "Oh finally, jeez I'm gonna have to get use to this-" Chris smiled. Leah giggling behind him.
"I cant believe that you just went up to that lady and told her she couldnt pull off that hat! Are you sure your not a New Yorker?" Leah smiled as they crossed 7th avenue.
"I know I just say whatever comes out of my mouth." Chris sighed.
"You are too funny. Too bad your gay I would so date you." Leah laughed.
"Are your adorable. Well, I wanted to ask you something, my landlord gave me a welcoming present, two tickets to How To Succeed with Darren Criss and Beu Bridges. Would you like to come since your like my only friend here." Chris smiled. Leah squealed.
"I would love to come! When is it?"
"This Saturday at seven."
"So there, I'll give you my phone number and we wil walk to the theater since we live so close!" Leah smiled.
"No problem." They exchanged numbers and said their goodbyes.
Chris got to his apartment smiling. He had made a friend and they were going to see the most amazing artist ever on Saturday! This was a utter dream to Chris and he wasnt going to let himself wake up anytime soon.
