What else do you like?
I like llamas, and bears
I like lions.
I know, I like Muse.
I know xD My favourite album of theirs is origin of symmetry!
Would it be crazy to say that that is my favourite album of theirs to?!
Haha, no it wouldn't! It is their greatest album ever!
It's funny how much we have in common really.
And how much we don't.
Dan was just getting ready to type out a response to his new friend Phil when his Mum called up to him from downstairs telling him to get off his computer and get some fresh air. He sighed slightly; of course his Mum would ruin it for him just when he was happy. He figured he would just talk to Phil later so he quickly typed out his final message and logged off the computer.
Urgh, my Mum's telling me to go into the outside world (what even is that?) I'll talk to you later:)
He didn't wait for a response before signing off and pulling on his trainers. It was an unusually hot day in Manchester so he didn't need anything other than that.
Walking round he glanced at his wrist. He hadn't done that since he had started talking to Phil. It was weird remembering that he used to be obsessed with it and now he couldn't give two flying llamas what they read or not.

Dan felt his heart begin to race as he realised how much time had passed since the last time he had looked at the numbers. It was the night that they had moved forwards. He looked around at the passers-by; any one of them could be his soul mate. Urgh, Dan hated the word but it was quicker than saying the most important person in his life. He glanced back down.

He felt as if his hear was going to beat out of his chest in excitement. He quickly sat down before he collapsed and immediately felt a burning sensation in his wrist.

Dan goggled at the timer, did the slightest thing he did change everything? He stood back up, quick as a flash, and began to walk towards the Manchester eye. The burning began again.

Dan stopped in his tracks. The timer didn't change so he guessed he was doing the right thing.
This was it. The moment he had been waiting for. The moment that he had longed to come for 17 years now.

Dan looked up; he couldn't see anybody that really stood out to him. They were all grown-ups. But he guessed that's it isn't it, you don't really know who it's going to be until it happens. And you don't get to decide, the numbers decide for you. It took this long for Dan to figure it out though.
He looked back down at his wrist.

I'm terrible aren't I. I wasn't planning it to end like this but the idea popped into my head and now it's stuck. Don't worry; it's not going to be going on like this for much longer now
I'm really sorry.
Was it just me who's heart was beating just like Dan's while re-reading this? Seriously, I'm still calming down… why did I do this to you? I honestly don't know.
