Am I dreaming? Oh come on, this is a joke right? They seriously can’t be standing in front of me right now. Alright I am going to blink and they won’t be here anymore. Alright 1,2,3 blink. Nope there still here. Well I guess I should probably get into the elevator before I look like even more of an idiot. Alright Abby, you can move any day now. I guess pulling her in the elevator works too. That’s cool, let’s play the ‘I can’t feel my legs’ game right in front of the elevator.

“Is she okay?” I heard Jack ask, did he just talk to me! He did, he did! Totally fan girling on the inside. I guess I should answer back, shouldn’t I? “Uh yeah, I think.” I croaked out. Wow I sounded like an idiot. I finally got Abby in the elevator and looked her right in the eye. She finally snapped out of her trance and looked down turning bright red. I pushed the 5 button and the elevator closed. The elevator ride was silent, well until Jack said something, “Okay, now this might sound weird,” Oh I don’t care if it sounds weird, I just want to hear your beautiful voice “but is your mom Charlene Buck?” He asked smiling at me. I could have died right there and then. He was smiling at me. I felt Abby nudge me and I answered “Uh yeah she is. Why?” I asked looking at me hands. I felt my face turn bright red and I started shaking.

“I told you.” I heard Finn whisper to Jack. When were they talking? I must have been in my own little world when they were talking about it. I looked over at Abby who looked like she won 15,000 dollars she was so happy. I saw Jack nudge Finn and he looked back at me and said “Oh I watch her show sometimes and I think I have seen you on there before.” Well he was right, I have been on the show before. I come on sometimes with my mom and we do mother daughter cooking things and stuff like that, so some people do know who I am.

I smiled at him and said “Yeah I have been on the show a couple times.” He smiled at me and looked at Finn who was looking behind me. I turned around to see Abby all red with a mile wide smile. She is just so cute. I turned around to see both of them staring at me, “Well, if you don’t mind, can you introduce us to her because we are really big fans.” Jack asked with a smile. I felt my face fall, go figures everyone loves my mom and I am just “Charlene Buck’s daughter”, nothing else. I turned back towards the elevator door that was now opening and said “Yeah sure. Be at room 513 at 9 tomorrow morning, okay?” I said looking back at them with huge smiles on their faces. “Okay, thank you!” Jack said as I walked off. Abby looked a bit upset but she said bye and walked off the elevator, I was about to start ranting about how mad and upset I was when I heard Jack yell “Hey wait!” I turned around and saw him and Finn running towards us. I looked at Abby and she was looking at me, I was very confused and I could tell she was also. When they got to us Jack had a small smile on his face, “I never got your name.” He said as he looked me in the eyes. Okay, you know how I was mad before? Yeah, not anymore. I looked at Abby who just shrugged her shoulders and looked back at him “My name is Alexis.” I answered and he nodded his head. He stuck his hand out for a hand shake and I put my hand in his with such confidence I shocked myself. When our hands touched something went through them and it wasn’t just me because we both pulled away at the same time looking at our hands with confusion. I looked over at Abby and she was too busy gazing at Finn. Oh, I didn’t introduce her! Nice going Alexis. “Oh, and this is my best friend Abby.” I said wrapping my arm around hers. I saw Finn smile at her and he said “Nice to meet you Abby. I am Finn and this is Jack.” He said pointing at himself then Jack. I nodded but then Abby said “Oh we know who you are. We watch your YouTube videos.” Abby said tightening her grip on my arm. I wanted to run away and hide under neither a rock but I couldn’t because Abby was holding on to tight. I gave a little smile then looked down trying to avoid all possible eye contact. Of course Abby didn’t care. She was practically bouncing off the walls.

“Oh really? Well I guess we all met someone we’ve been wanting to meet.” Jack said. Now that threw me off guard. I looked up with confusion plastered on my face and he gave me a small smile. What did he mean by that? I am almost positive that he would not have wanted to meet me, But Abby, well she has been on my mom’s show also and she is like gorgeous but still, like what? I looked over at Abby who looked just as confused as me. I was about to say something when Finn said “Well I guess we should get going. See you tomorrow.” Even though he said it to both of us, he was looking at Abby with a smile and she was smiling back. I looked at Jack and he nodded and said “See you tomorrow at 9.” Then they both turned around and walked away.

I looked at Abby and didn’t know what to think but the only thing I said was “Well, now we know where they are staying.” I said with a smile and we laughed together as we walked back to the room.
