Chapter 2 – Dan and Phil

"Are you ok?" I heard a soft voice above my head.

I looked up to see a 6 foot tall man kneeling down, offering his hand to help me up.

"Thanks! Sorry, I should really look where I'm go-"

As we stood up I just couldn't stop looking at his dark brown eyes, and how his hair draped over to the left side of his eyes.

"Uh Dan, stop flirting with fans and help me with these bags!" someone behind me was yelling.

I turned to see another man, same height, same hair colour but his hair draping to the opposite side.

"Are you Poppy?" I heard him say.

"Yes," I replied, "and you're Dan and Phil, right? I'm clearly not a fan; otherwise I would have a Llama beanie on." I said pointing to my mauve beanie.

Dan laughed and smiled at me.

DAN'S P.O.V.

So we haven't been at the hotel ten minutes and I've already knocked someone over! What can I say; girls just fall at my feet. See what I did there? But this girl I bumped into, she looked familiar. Once Phil had said her name, I instantly knew who he was talking about.

"I can't believe I'm talking to the Australian sisters! I watch every awesome video you make. It's so amazing that you girls are so brave." Phil said enthusiastically while grabbing Poppy's hand and started shaking it hyperactively.

Oh god, he was embarrassing me!

"Phil! You might want to calm down. I think she wants to keep her hand on her wrist for now."

She laughed and turned towards me. Her skin was golden, presumably from the Australian sun and she had dip dyed her hazel nut hair with blue ends. Do I fancy this girl? No I don't, that's stupid. I just met her.

Phil continued, "Dan and I have been watching your videos since you first started. I think you are amazing! I mean you are so brave to do those crazy things in Australia."

I decided to butt in to save myself from humiliation in front of girls.

"So is this your first time attending VidCon?" I directed my question towards Poppy.

"Well I came here once as a fangirl." She replied, "You might remember me. I was the one that gave you Maltesers."

Shit, there were heaps of girls who gave me Maltesers. I began to think through from last year's VidCon.

POPPY'S P.O.V.

I think I just killed the cool front I wanted to portray in front of Dan Howell. Was it something I said? He stared off into the distance with a very puzzled look.

"It was only a joke." I said to save face.

That made him snap back to earth. He took one look at my face and began to blush. Seeing him blush made me blush!

To break the tension Phil interjected with, "So what are you ladies doing this afternoon?"

"Well we were-"

Before Lexi could say anything else, someone pushed through our little circle. It couldn't be, I thought!

I blinked for the second time. It was Catrific.

"I'm sorry I was late boys, but I was held up in traffic."

She forced a hug on Dan and Phil, then twirled around to face us and said, "Sorry but these boys are busy. You can catch up with them later, if they have time."

She gave us an unflattering smirk and returned her attention to Dan and Phil. I couldn't understand why someone so nice on camera would act like that in real life. We walked away. I took one last look at Dan. He was watching me. He smiled then brought his attention back to Catrific. Could it be that I'm falling for Dan?
