Amelia's POV
As I stood in front of my full length mirror I glanced at the clock that read 6:53 pm. Barry was going to pick me up at 7 to go to the show but knowing him he'll probably show up late.
I looked over my outfit once more. The dress that I had chosen for the night was a cream coloured lace dress that ended a few inches above my knee, the dress was accented with a low cut back. I had straightened my normally curly auburn hair and my green eyes stood out a bit more with the winged eyeliner that I had applied. Now all that was left to do was choose my shoes. I had narrowed my choices down to two shoes, either my black wedges or my black flats. On one hand the wedges would go with my outfit more but on the other hand the flats were much more comfortable. Deciding to sacrifice a little bit of glamour for comfort I chose the flats.
I had just finished putting on my shoes when the doorbell rang. I glanced over at the clock once more, 6:58 pm. I was shocked because for once in his life Barry Allen was early for something.
I opened the door and was greeted by the sight of Barry and Iris.
Barry was the first to break the silence.
"Hey, you ready to go? The show starts at 8 so we should probably get there early to find our seats."
"Yeah, just let me grab my purse."
Once I grabbed my bag we were on our way. The ride to the theatre was quick, and we had arrived by 7:20. Before we went to find out seats Barry insisted on buying me something from the merchandise stand, claiming that it was part of my gift. I had chosen a pullover hoodie that said 'Wicked' across the chest in bold letters. After thanking Barry we were on our way to our seats, until we passed a food stand and saw cookies. We made on more quick stop to get the themed cookies. I had gotten a cookie with Elphaba's witch hat, Barry had gotten a yellow brick road cookie with Dorothy's ruby red slippers on it and Iris had gotten one with Glinda's wand and crown.
After that we finally made our way to our seats. I was surprised at the amazing seats that Barry was able to get, we were in the third row.
About ten minutes after we had found our seats the show started. I LOVED every second of it, it was everything that I had imagined it would be. I was enjoying myself even though Iris kept making stupid comments throughout it.
Everything was going great until the last song before the intermission, "I'm Not That Girl".
Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl
Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl
Every so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl
Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl...
That song basically perfectly represented how I felt for Barry and how he would alway love Iris not me. I had gotten a little emotional during the song and had excused myself. I ran to the bathroom and the tears started coming out, I'll never be that girl. Barry loved Iris and nothing that I could do would change that, no matter how I felt. I had finally gotten up the courage to go back and face Barry and Iris right before the intermission ended. By the time I had made my way to my seat the show was starting up again, so there was no time for Barry's questioning my abrupt and sudden departure. The rest of the show went off without a hitch and I was feeling better by the end of it. My mood had improved since my little pity fest earlier.

Barry questioned my earlier exit when he was dropping me off at home.
"Umm… I just wasn't feeling very well." I lied.
"Uh hun." Barry replied unconvinced. "Well I hope you fell better then. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
(Next Day)
I don't know how much more of Iris's blabbing I can take. She decided to come to C.C.P.D. to visit her boyfriend, Detective Thawne, but before she left she wanted to say hi to Barry. That was over two hours ago, and for the past hour she has been talking about her new blog on 'The Streak'. The whole time that she has been talking Barry has been staring at her, and I can practically see his eyes forming into hearts. Its making me physically sick. Then Iris starts talking about making plans with Barry on Saturday, and I just couldn't take her sickly sweet voice anymore.
"You know I think that my shift is over." I announced.
" But, Amy you just started, you still have two more hours." Barry reasoned.
"Nope pretty sure I'm done for the day." I left quickly before Barry could stop me.
I step out into the sun and continue to walk down the street to my apartment. I grab my earbuds and turn on my music. I was so immersed in my music that I didn't notice the tall figure coming towards me until we collided, sending me to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you coming this way, are you ok? You fell pretty hard." The figure said worryingly as he helped me up.
"Um yeah, I'm fine. But for the record I didn't fall I attacked the floor."
"You're weird but I like it, I'm Jason by the way."
"Thanks… I guess and I'm Amelia but everyone calls me Amy."
"Well Amy, I feel terrible for knocking you over please let me make it up to you by taking you out on a date."
"Umm… you know what... sure, why not?" I replied hesitating slightly.
"Well then, here is my number, call me when you're free." He said as he handed me a paper that he had quickly scribbled his number on.
"I will, bye Jason, I guess I'll be seeing you soon then."
"Bye Amy."
Well that was an unexpected addition to my day, I mean it's not everyday that I get asked out by an attractive guy.
(Time Skip)
I was eating dinner around 10 pm when the C.C.P.D. called me urgently saying that I had to get to a crime scene right away. I was making my way to the address that they sent me when I heard a gruff voice come from behind me.
"Give me you're purse."
Panic surged within me, this had to be the single most terrifying moment of my life. Before I could even move an inch yellow lighting flashed in front of me and all of a sudden the robber was gone. All that was left in his place was a man in a red suit. Iris's mindless words from earlier on in the day came back to me, this must be 'The Streak'.
"Thanks for saving me, you're the streak right?"
"Umm yeah I guess?"
"What do you mean you guess?" I asked slightly confused.
"Well I mean yeah I'm 'The Streak' I just don't think that it has that good of a ring to it."
"Me neither, how about, how about 'The Flash'."
Even though he was some how able to vibrate his face I could still see him grin slightly as he agreed with me.
After our brief encounter he left leaving behind a gust of wind. I don't know what it was about him but he seemed familiar. For some reason I couldn't shake the feeling that I've seen his eyes before, the green orbs with specks of blue and brown where all that I could see when he vibrated.
