(Larry's POV)

I walked into the garage, and I saw a girl about my age. She had on a black and white concert shirt. It was the ¾ sleeve type with a white collar. She was also wearing a short, orange skirt, and a beanie of the same color. What caught my eye the most, though, was that she had beautiful, blue hair, and an even more beautiful face. I was awestruck.

She was sitting on a stage-looking thing, and was tuning a guitar that matched the color of her skirt and beanie. She must really like orange. I walked over to her. She noticed me, and looked up.

"Oh, hello." She said sweetly. "Are you Larry?" I nodded slowly, still in awe. She jumped from the stage, and stood in front of me, hand outstretched. "Nice to meet ya, Larry. Name's Carrie." She, like her mother, was very enthusiastic. I also noticed that she was quite tall. Taller than me, at least. I looked at her hand for a second, then took it in mine. I felt butterflies in my stomach once our hands touched. I heard her giggle. "You don't talk much, do you?" I smiled sheepishly and shook my head. Actually, I was normally very talkative. But, being in the presence of this girl (Carrie, I think it was), I couldn't find my voice. I looked at her other hand to see her holding her guitar. I was finally able to find something to say.

"So…uh…you play guitar?" I said nervously. She smiled.

"Yep!"

"I had a friend that played guitar."

"Really? What was his name?"

"Actually, it was a girl. And…I didn't know her name." She giggled.

"How could you have a friend, but not know their name?"

"Well, I…uh…sorta met her online." She looked kind of surprised when I said that.

"Really…? I think I might know her." It was my turn to look surprised.

"Really?!" She nodded.

"Yep." She said, smiling. "She told me that she would talk to this boy on the internet. A boy who played bass…"

"That's me!"

"Hmm."

"Where did she move? Far away?" Carrie laughed.

"Oh, she's closer than you think…" I looked down, thinking. Am I missing something? Then, I mentally facepalmed. I felt like a huge idiot. Why didn't I see it before?! I lifted my head to look at her, only to see her face now inches from mine. "Hi, RedBassist321."
