"Well....." he says in desperation
"WE HAVE A HELLFIRE MEETING TODAY AND LUCAS ISNT ABLE TO COME BECAUSE HE HAS BASKETBALL SO I NEED YOU TO FILL IN FOR HIM OR EDDIE WILL GET MAD."

I stand there in shock not knowing what to say, mostly because he was talking so fast and anxiously I could barley understand what he was saying. With a blank stare I say

"Uhm yeah sure, I'll meet you afterschool"

**WHAT THE FUCK WHY DID I SAY THAT IM NOT EVEN SURE HOW TO PLAY DND WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME**

Dustin smiles at me looking happier than ever and then runs over too the table where Eddie was. Why did I say I would go?!? I don't even know how to play stupid Dungeons and Dragons! I mean I guess I would have to drive him home anyways

I keep thinking about this during lunch and how it's going to play out me. Will they all hate me? Will they make fun of me ? So many possibilities could happen. I brush it off again and waited until school was over ...

After lunch is over I head to all of my next classes still dreading and anxious to go to the stupid hellfire meeting. The last bell rang. Still as anxious I was when dustin told me I was going , I went to meet him in the hallway. When he realized where I was he smiled and ran up to me quickly.

"Hey Julia! Are you ready for hellfire? Oh that doesn't matter , but here put this shirt on!!"

I look at him confused but realized he met me right by the bathrooms. I gave him my bag and went into one of the stalls to change. When I walk out of the bathroom I could tell the shirt was a size or two bigger, but I didn't really mind it.

"Oh yeah sorry for the shirt being too big, I'm pretty sure it's one of Eddie's but that's all he had. Now hurry up we can't be late!!'l

**This is Eddie's shirt..? I, Julia Henderson is wearing Eddie Munsons shirt?? I mean it doesn't matter it's whatever..**

Anxiously I follow dustin down a few hallways and we finally get to the room. Dustin opens the door and everyone there turns their head to look at us. Dustin acts like it's normal and walks in like nothing , saying hi to everyone. I on the other hand am just standing there, looking like a shark out of water staring towards the table with the DnD stuff set up. Still standing there awkwardly I feel someone tap my shoulder and starts talking to me.

"Hey, you must be Julia? I haven't seen you around that often but nice to meet you. I'm Eddie."

I turn around to see him and I stop thinking for a second. He was gorgeous if that's how you could describe him. His eyes were locked into mine. He smiled slowly and started laughing a little bit, most likely because I haven't said anything to him.

"Oh yeah I'm sorry, nice to meet you Eddie. I've heard a lot about you! Oh also thanks for the shirt, dustin told me it's all you could find for me"
I look down anxiously waiting for this to be one of those weird conversations that I usually have

"Oh yeah I'm sorry, I didn't really have much time since Henderson told me you were joining today. So do you know how to play ?"

I look up again and tell him I have no experience, but just came because Dustin begged me too. He said it was fine and I can sit by him this game so he can teach me.

"Okay first of all this is disgusting" Dustin said.

"Second of all is this game ever gonna start or are you just going to keep flirting munson?"

Eddie laughs at Dustin and rolls his eyes. He then signals with his hand for me to come and sit by him. He was actually one of the nicest people I've ever met... Am I falling for Eddie....?

~Eddies POV~

Henderson came up to me during lunch, looking super worried yet annoyed for some reason.

"Haha hey look it's the best person I've ever met"

I laugh and him and then ask him what he needs. One thing I've learned about him is that he's super bad at trying to ask for things.

"Uhm well the thing is, Lucas won't be able to make it tonight because he has his basketball game later so I was wondering if julia could fill in for him"

Now I could tell why he looked annoyed. If he were to ask if anyone else could fill in I'd be pretty pissed. But Julia was an exception. I've only ever seen her once this morning but she looked perfect. Her long brown hair flowed peacefully in the wind, not to mention her style was amazing. But I mean I don't ever know her. I can't start liking someone I've barley known. But maybe that's could change tonight...

I told him yes that it would be fine. He looked relieved as if he was scared I was going to say no. I tell him to wait real quick and then go to my backpack. I always have an extra hellfire shirt just in case someone wanted to join unexpectedly. I toss it to him and then tell him to give it to Julia before we all meet up. It was probably a size two big but it's all I had. After lunch I head out to my next class and waited until after school.

The bell finally rang . I got all my stuff (not that it was much) and went to the room to set up the DnD stuff. I started talking to Gareth about Julia. She just couldn't leave my mind... but why..?
We finish setting stuff up and started waiting for everyone to get here.

Me and Gareth Are still talking when we hear the door open. It goes silent for a spilt second.. It was Dustin and Julia .She was wearing ripped jeans and my hellfire shirt. Dustin walks in like normal and does his own thing, but Julia kind of just stands there. She looked kind of anxious so I let her stand there for a minute or two. I looked at Gareth and then went over to her.

Nervously I taped her on the shoulder and introduced myself. She turned around and just started at me while I was talking. It was quite funny. We stand there for a couple of seconds just locking eyes when she finally says something. She apologizes and then introduced herself, but also thanking me for the shirt dustin gave her.

I look at her and smile. I couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was, it was amazing. I snap out of it and then ask her if she has any experience playing. She laughs and looks down saying no, so I told her she could sit by me and I would teach her. She looked back up and smiled at me, nodding in agreement. Butterflies filled my stomach... that's never happened before

I was about to say something when Dustin interrupted me and asked when we were going to start. Me and Julia both laughed and I started walking. She stood behind so I signaled her to come follow me to my seat. She followed and we got ready to start. She was one of the nicest people I had met this whole school year. Was I falling for Julia....
