Caroline found her phone, and her earphones, and started towards the door. It was only 1:00 in the afternoon. She opened her door, and found that she was in front of Dan,
who had seemed to drift off, as he was leaning on the side of her door, where she opened it. His arms were crossed, his eyes were closed, and one of his legs was behind the
other. He just seemed more bored than asleep. Caroline touched his shoulder that was leaning on the side of the door and moved her hand away, Dan had opened his eyes
and started talking in a hilariously, sarcastic tone. "do you want to go out with me or not?" Then he said quietly "I drifted off, I waited for the "response" for so "long." He rolled
his eyes, and made big eyes at Caroline, he didn't say a word until she said something. In response, she said "Uh.." And he placed his arm on hers and looked deeply at her,
and said "why not?" Then more silently, "Please, why not" in a desperate, needy tone. Caroline became shockingly red, and figured that Dan had the highest expectations that
they should be together romantically, while only knowing each other for one hour. She figured she wanted to get to know him better, since he had become a more sweeter
person towards her. "…What are you doing right now..?" She said. He nodded slowly, and started to talk softly to her. "I really like you, I want to be with you anyways, Im
serious." he started, with a hushy like voice. He was privately making fun of Caroline again, because she had said "okay" to his request, which he felt surprised at. Caroline
wen't into more embarrassment at his response, and watches him. He notices this and instantly gets strange, and thinks to himself in his mind, with a sad awkward like tone.
"Why are you looking at me, calm down." Then he says to her "okay Im going to go, I'll see you tomorrow okay?" He smiles at her, and wanted to show he felt very happy
about this situation, by feeling her fingers in his. At this, she awakes a little and makes very big eyes at him. "Dan, this is really forward of you." while he stroked her fingers
slowly, she moved her hand away from his. She looked ahead of Dan, behind his head, staring out at the street. He was still staring at her with a half grin planted on his face,
but he felt determined. She felt bothered and fainty, because she didn't know a half day's whole interaction with Dan would become this way. She looked into his eyes again,
and smiles a little. "I'll see you tomorrow, okay? I have a lot I have to do today, I can't really talk right now." It was the same exact response that dan had just given her, but she
instead pronounced this very nervously. Dan responds by looking down at the ground, then looking up at her again, with his hands holding each other behind his back. "I don't
want to be rude, but I like you so much though, I wish we could go out to a personal movie together, only you and me, that would be amazing to me, or something else
personal like a date that's only between people only for a while…Would you want to do something like that, with me at all or whatever?" He says these things while half looking
at the ground and looking back up to her face. He starts to have a thought after stating this. "Yeah, I hope they say yes, because I need them with me for a little while, I hope
for a long time, for a while." In a needy way. This thought brings him back to a memory in his mind, when earlier, after telling Caroline he wanted to go out with her, before he
wen't inside his apartment he had stopped to think and lean on his own door while facing away from her, in concentration. He was feeling embarrassed by his last comment
towards her, but felt moved somehow by the whole interaction with her. After his romantic comment, Caroline was shimmery eyed. When he was speaking, Caroline's body felt
itself naturally move in a fashion that he noticed warmly. She felt herself look at him incredibly, and spoke. "I would really like to do that…personally.." She had now, extremely
interested eyes that relaxed into him, her body moved to the side, and she smiled deeply. Dan felt an immense, strange happiness at her interaction in this way, he felt like he
was looking at Caroline all the time. (In an everyday sort of way.) He looked at her from the middle and then slowly raised his eyes back up again, as he met, her beautifully
framed face. After, he felt a creeping feeling of shock and mortification, he just couldn't believe that Caroline seemed so happy with him. "Lets go now, and show me that you
mean it." She says quietly, in the sweetest manner he had ever heard. Dan felt for once, "not angry" at all, as he started to smile so wide, and pronounced "okay lets go now, in
MY CAR, Close by." We winks at her, then touches Caroline and brings her with him by holding her hand. Dan pulls Caroline down the steps, runs around the car to the drivers
seat, leaving her to get into the car by herself. When she is in, Caroline notices that dan won't look at her at all and starts to drive like a maniac on the road. He very quickly
drives to a hill where he used to come to when he wanted to be by himself in his thoughts. When they had finally arrived, They were alone only, and personally. He said nothing,
out of nervousness. He started to flip out a little internally, and then started to feel like he didn't like himself much more than he ever could. Many times, she had looked him
over, his face and body, but she felt the same intense strangeness. She chirped up. "So.. Im going to tell you about myself now.. okay?" She said bravely, and started to feel
herself climb back inside that deep happiness she felt only moments ago with him, and it was showing on her face. When she spoke, it was about personal details, in her
softest of tones towards him. During this, Dan had reached over and kissed her BY ACCIDENT, on the mouth. She felt his lips only for a few seconds, as he touched a little of
her cheek. When he had let go, she tried to speak again, but his face showed he felt like he blew up his entire life! Anger and sadness wept over him, and words poured out of
him. "Im not a good person, sorry." He pushes her out of his red car, backs out and leaves without her. As he was driving farther away, he started to laugh to himself too hard,
his guilty thoughts about his internal, dying life. He thought he felt things awfully too much, and started to feel strange about the entirety of the situation from the door, to the
hill. She looked on, as the car left her. She felt it was so intense in an instant anyways, she started to feel awkward and frightened of the whole situation. She couldn't believe
how much she felt she wanted to be with dan like that, by only knowing him for a small amount of time. She thought about the way he was speaking to her, and how he
presented himself. She felt that it changed her in some way, completely from the time her landlord had started talking badly about him towards her, to the time she watched
him last night write her license down and kicked her drivers side. She walked towards another direction, away from the roadway where they had come from. This felt like the
best time to explore California, by walking semi-broken hearted over someone she barely knew. She thought about how this walk should take four hours, before she decided to
go back to that crap apartment and to look like a little idiot again. She had a different thought come across her mind after that exact second, and felt like Los Angeles was just
too different! and she couldn't believe how the people resided here acted! She felt unhinged, that someone like dan could be her neighbor, after all that, turning her feelings into
a frenzy of wild and crazy. She wished it to be nighttime, so he could barely see her come through. She was starving for food, and only wanted to relax. After four hours of
quiet solitude, and after going through some of her old memories of her old boyfriend in Maine, she finally arrived back at the casa paradiso, feeling jittered and tired. It was
finally dusk, but then to her complete disapproval, she saw dan, and felt her stomach turn over. He was talking to a man outside next to his apartment, and was faced away
from her. She saw that Dan was talking on the phone, rather loudly while facing this taller man, who was laughing at him. She thought she could somehow hear a woman's
voice in the distance over the phone. She stood by her car on the now parked far away space, and waited until dan went inside with his friend. She just wanted to be alone, to
go back into her room. She started hearing that they were both laughing! Dan sounded too pleased at some woman's voice over the phone! Caroline felt extremely hateful
instantly."No shit" she thought. She couldn't believe that dan had no feelings for her at all! She had to be on her guard at this point. Her thoughts were that this was no easy
city to impress men, to ever be in a romantic relationship, even the ones who live in run down motels are the same! Caroline gritted her teeth at this, and couldn't believe she
easily fell for it, believing since she was from Maine. She only wanted to race up, and run into her room through any of the darkness that was available as quickly as possible!
As she was still observing them, she watched dan whisper and laugh, and explained so loudly "she was so CUTE!" While looking at the man, obviously stating the woman over
the phone. Then she noticed he started to look at all directions around him. too Dan, he had been looking in all directions for a while now, and was checking in order to see if
Caroline was walking home with another man. His friend Chris, was just standing there and had to keep himself from laughing so hard at this! Chris knew a secret that he was
hiding, before Caroline was going to arrive. Caroline finally had become courageous, and left her car, and started to speed walk instantly to the staircase, putting her head
down and to the best of her abilities, to keep quiet. Halfway up, Dan spots her and runs instantly towards her at the foot of the staircase. "Wait so you're alone? Okay I love
you mom!" He says to his mother on the phone and HANGS UP. "Its been FOUR HOURS, I was so worried that you Left. Me. To. Rot. Here. Anyways!" He cries, and runs to go
inside his apartment, and slams his door. During his speech, Caroline looked at him deeply, and had listened hard by accident. She started to cry a little during the end of his
sentence, to make a point that it was a sick, evil thing to do to leave her. After Dan explained himself, He felt afraid, and had shown that he felt mortified of what he said. He
started to think "she looks so beautiful anyways." As he ran. After he wen't inside, she looked away from where he slammed his door, and went inside her apartment. She saw
a little that his friend had tried opening the door after he slammed it, but it seemed like dan had wanted to lock himself out. Inside, She started to think that Dan had fallen in
love with her in a way, without doing much of anything. She wanted to see dan again, and wanted to demand if he had mental issues, but she felt unsure of this. Wanting to
take another shower, she felt it was too relaxing. She did not get to explore Los Angeles like she wanted to for her first day, She knows now that she had felt some sort of ill
love towards dan, and dan felt an intense ill love or sexual love, that's not amended yet for him. She needed to go to sleep, so she went to her bed and closed her eyes.
"Ridiculous, crazy, possibly!" She thought. She then falls asleep, some tears marking her cheeks, over her completely stressful day.
