I slam the door, taking a deep breath I start to speed walk down my silent road, feeling like im being watched. My heart starts thumping so much therefore it sounds like one thousand drums playing in sync. I just stop and think, what would Connor do? My heart rate soon gets back to normal and I carry on walking up my road, heading for my local train station. At every other corner there are gangs, big and small. it doesnt matter what size; they all intimidate me and make me feel extreamly innocent.

I reach the train station and its empty. Not even a empty crisp packet was swooping around. I sat for 10 mins listening to Ricky Dillon and then finally my train arrived. One hour later i arrived at my stop. London Victoria. I grabbed a coffee from Costa and made my way to the tube, surrounded with strangers. Having my personal space invaded by hundreds of strangers, it was hard to get even a glimpse of the tube map. It had graffiti on it anyway, which read 'Malcom was here'.

I had a plan in my head, to reach the Dungeons at 11:40. It was now 11:29 and i was waiting for the next tube to arrive. 30 seconds after that my tube arrived. My hair blew up and across, following the trains direction. As i stepped onto the train, the doors closed and i held on to a bar next to the door. Screech! The brakes were pressured therefore everyone fell back. I started worrying that my day plan wouldnt go to plan and that i would have too re schedule EVERYTHING. Soon after, the train started again and everyone clapped. It reached 11:38. As the train stopped at the station i ran off it, up the escalators and out the old, busy building. I stopped. When i looked up there was a huge red bus blocking my view. When that drove off a massave sign got revealed that read 'THE LONDON DUNGEONS. ENTER IF YOU DARE' I smiled, id made it here all by myself. The traffic was so bad that I had to wait at a huge crossing, along with a crowd.

When I had crossed the road I stopped to take an artsy picture for instagram. I took a few shots on my smashed up iphone as i waited for it to focus. When i went to put my phone in my bag, my purse fell out and the whole contents of it went everywhere.

"Are you kidding me!!" I wimpered.

As I dropped onto my knees to pick all my cards and cash up, a young man approached me. He bent down infront of me, looked me in the eye and smiled,

"Hey, my name is Joseph. Whats your name?"
I replyed "um hi. im Louisa. Thankyou for stopping."

I recognised him. He is american. Im pretty sure ive seen him mentioned on my twitter a few times.

"Thats ok id love-" He couldnt say much before I interuped him.

"Wait.. Are you Joseph Hernandez!?" I knew it! I recognised him.

He replied "yes, i am. I travelled here with the whole of o2l and ive lost them." He continued "Can I have your number? Only if its okay." He quickly added.

"Oh my God! Yes! um sure!" He gave me his phone and I added my number to his contacts with a flirty heart emoji. I stared into his eyes and he gave me a cute smile.

I said bye to Joseph. We agreed to meet outside the Westminster tube stop in 2 hours. At this moment I got lost in time and realised its already 12:00. Better head in!
