You pull up to homecoming, with your best friend. You guys spent hours getting ready and listening to music. As you got out of the car you had that nervous feeling in your stomach, you don't go to school with these people since your friend brought you along as a guest, and you were kinda nervous.

After waiting in line for a very long time, smushed with your not classmates trying to get in, you've finally arrived. You look around, so many students you don't even know. You were probably just gonna cling to ur best friend the whole time.

"Oh my gosh Alex texted me"
You look over at ur best friends phone and read the message, he was asking where you guys were. Alex is the boy that likes ur best friend. She isnt too sure about him but hes still going to hang out with you guys so she tells him.

You guys are sitting at a planter and you have ur arm around her when he approaches.

After about 30 minutes of talking and playing games you guys decide to take pictures. When you're in line you notice a guy. Hes tall, he has long dark curly hair, is wearing glasses, and has an attractive, slow walk.

"Oh my God that guy looks like Robert Ortiz, that guy from escape the fate" you quickly lean over and whisper to ur best friend, she looks for the guy you're talking about, and you nod ur head in his direction. You think he notices and you make eye contact for a second before you quickly look away. 

"Wait yeah!! I know who you're talking about, that one guy in the band!"

You've told you're best friend all about your favorite band escape the fate so it isn't surprising when she knows who you're referring to. 

After you guys take the pictures you go outside and look around, hoping to maybe see him again. Your best friend knows what you're doing, because in line you wouldn't shut up about wanting to tell him who he looks like. After you guys walk for a second, you look behind you and see him, exactly where you guys just were, near the line for photos. You quickly whisper this to your best friend.

"You should go over there!!"

You debate this for about 2 seconds before making up your mind and forcing yourself to walk over there because you knew if you spent too long debating you would get too nervous and you wouldn't do it. You try to walk with confidence.

You approach him and his friends. Your presence quickly catches their attention and he turns towards you.

"You really remind me of this guy named Robert from a band called Escape the fate." His eyes widen. "...I'm actually Robert..." he says. You step back and try to argue. "No you aren't.. there's no way." "No like I actually am." You step back and look at him with a skeptical expression on your face. Focusing on him. You actually didn't know whether you believed him or not. You put your hands on your hips and keep that skeptical expression. Even though you didn't actually know whether he was telling the truth or not, you decide to pretend like you don't believe him, and you just say bye and walk away. 

You thought you heard him say wait so you turn back quickly for a second but he went back to talking with his friends, so you continue walking away. 

As you approach your best friend and Alex again, you tell her what happened, and she has a casual expression, because she also doesn't think its actually him.

You guys walk around for a while and talk, you let them talk more because you wanted to give them a chance to get to know each other better. You all eventually sit down in a spot near the mysterious Robert lookalike. You had a lot of energy, so you get up a lot and walk and dance a little bit to the songs the dj was playing, but not too much, just bopping ur head a little bit and pumping ur fist sometimes.

You feel like you and Robert were both very aware of each others presence. Trying to catch a glimpse of one another every minute or two. The more you look at him, the more you think it actually might be him. 

There was a cup on the ground and you stomp on it impulsively, out of boredom maybe.

He hears it and he looks over. He holds up a thumbs up and you think you hear him say, "You good?" but the music was too loud to tell. You just give a thumbs up and an awkward smile back. After this him and his friends leave the little area you and your best friends were sitting in. You are kinda disappointed and ask your friends if they wanna play some games.

Of course when you go to the game area, there he is, also playing games. He passes the ball that goes with the giant dart board to you and you throw it, but fail miserably to successfully get it to hit the board. You throw your hands in frustration and look back to see him watching, so you get a little embarrassed. 

While you guys are playing the games, your best friend tells you Alex wants to take pictures with just them. You say thats fine and let them go, but you stay by the games. Hoping to maybe get the chance to talk to Robert again, but he isn't by the games anymore. So you walk around a little bit and look for him.

Finally you spot him. He's hanging out with one of his friends by the dj. It seemed kinda awkward, the dj played some pretty lame songs. 

You make up your mind before you can stop yourself and start walking towards him.

Hey lol, I would just like to let y'all know this is based off of an experience I actually had today when I went to homecoming so pretty much all of the stuff in this chapter this actually happened, except it wasnt actually robert LOL but the guy looked a lot like him(yes he actually tried to convince me he was robert but i knew he was lying) and i was lowk fangirling bc of the similarity between them, so i decided to write fanfiction where it was actually him and shit actually happened with him.

ps the next chapter is where i will start making stuff up that didn't actually happen LOL
