Chapter Two "The meeting"

From Dylan's point of view

Us starkid's decided to go out drinking to celebrate AVPM going onto YouTube. It was just us in the pub but the night was quite early so I guess any other people would come later. We had, had a couple of drinks already when two girls came in. I recognised one of them as a girl called Caz who was in one of my classes but she was new so she didn't really know me, I doubt if she knew my name. But her friend had beautiful blue eyes; I only took a quick look because I didn't want to stare. The truth is I wasn't really feeling myself today I felt myself looking around a lot and daydreaming. Brian seemed to notice and asked me if I was ok, I said I was. I then found myself looking at Caz's friend; she was looking back at me. She turned her head away suddenly. I couldn't help looking her she was beautiful, her eyes had me locked. I'm sure she knew I was staring. She started to look at her friend and then they were talking. I had a feeling it was about me. Suddenly Caz started heading towards me. Uh oh! Maybe she was pissed because I was staring at her friend. I know I'll turn around and pretend I didn't notice. Now I was just listening for footsteps. I heard the girl I was staring at shouting Caz. She sounded a bit distressed so I thought I'd turn around and check she was ok. Suddenly, BOOM! I turned around and she had fallen on me. I heard the guys laughing at her and Caz too. I felt kind of sorry for her. She was blushing I needed to do something to easy the awkwardness.

"Um, Hi my names Dylan, Dylan Saunders" Good start with the name.

"I'm Ellie" she blurted out. She stopped there though and there was an awkward silence. I suddenly realised I had, had a drink in my hand when she knocked me over; it had gone all over my crouch area. I needed to get up and wipe it down before it stained, now that would be awkward.

"Do you mind if you kind of shuffle off my cause I need to get up." I whispered so no one else noticed. Everyone else was still laughing. She looked like she was about to cry, I was about to speak. But before I could speak she ran towards the exit. Everything was messed up, I called out her name, but she carried on running. "Guys stop laughing, you really made her upset" I announced. No one listened to me and just carried on laughing. I decided to run outside after her. When I got there she was on the floor crying.

"GO AWAY" she shouted at me.

"Look I'm sorry I told them to stop laughing, but they just didn't listen." To this she just looked up at me, her make-up had run all down her face. I handed her a tissue, I had, had in my pocket. "Here wipe you face with this." I said bending down to give it to her. She gave me a kind of thank you nod, after she had wiped her face I asked if I was allowed to sit down. This made her smile a little.

"Sure, sorry for shouting at you." She said. "It's just Caz made me come out tonight and I really didn't want to, and now I'm really embarrassed cause I ran into you and I don't think I can face any of your friends or that bar ever again"

"Hey you don't need to be embarrassed, I mean hey look at me it looks like I peed myself." I replied. "My friends will get over it; they are nice people on the inside, I promise." She looked at my crouch and saw it was soaking and started laughing. "See you have a lovely smile, don't down yourself."

"You're a nice person, Dylan." She turned to look at me. "But I don't see why you are wasting your time talking to me; I'd probably embarrass myself more."

"I'm not wasting my time, I kind of like talking you" She looked away, she seemed kind of embarrassed. "How could I be wasting my time talking to a pretty girl like you?"

"Stop lying, I know I'm not as pretty as half the girls in there." She was blushing. "Do you think you don't know I'm a nerd who no one wants to hang with."

"Well you're the one who's lying" She seemed confused at what I was saying. "You beautiful and I want to hang with you." She looked up at me again. Her eyes they were just magical.
