Seven: The 'Girlfriend'

So, his name is Dan. I wonder what he is like? Is he another one of Zoe's friends?

"ZOE!" I hear him yell, that voice!

Zoe runs up and hugs him and laughs, Louise walks towards him but glances at me and I signal for her to keep quiet, I don't want this to be the way people meet me.

"Ah, Ali has been hit by Cupids arrow, am I wrong?" Caspar asked me, smirking slightly causing me to blush.

"Pht, no, no he is just, no." I stuttered.

"I'll take that as a yes then, come on, we better get going before Zoe sees you." Caspar grabbed my arm and led me out of the store.

"WAIT! Zoe, that's her, she is the one I saw earlier!" I knew that voice, it was him from before, Phil! That was his name!

"So much for being subtle Phil." An unfamiliar voice spoke up.

I continued to walk away but made the mistake of looking back at them and made eye contact with Zoe and her eyes went wide, I shot my head back and felt embarrassed by the attention.

"NICE TO MEET YOU, WHERE YOU BEEN? I CAN SHOW YOU INCREDIBLE THINGS" My phone started to go off on full volume blurting Taylor Swift, I tried to rummage around my bag for my phone whilst my face turned a brighter shade of pink.

"MAGIC, MADNESS, HEAVEN, SIN. SAW YO-" I found my phone and turned it off, it was a phone call from Zoe who I glared at and she mouthed a sorry.

"Saw you there and I thought oh my god, look at that face-" I looked back in the direction of Zoe to see Dan had continued to sing along to Blank Space, Phil nudged him and he looked up, realizing the music was no longer playing.

He let out a cough and looked at his shoes, me and Caspar shared a look and walked off out of sight, with Dan still on my mind. Caspar began to burst out laughing and I elbowed him and he let out a yell, causing even more people than before to look at us and I quickly walked off.

My phone began to buzz and I saw I had three new messages.

Zoe: What just happened???!!!

Louise: Why didn't you come over, I haven't seen you in ages Al, before you head home I will meet you okay?

Zoe: Heading back now so I can phone you, don't ignore my phone calls this time Ali. We still have to talk!

I let out a sigh and shove my phone back into my bag, and sit down at the nearest bench. Caspar came and sat with me and placed his hand on my back. "Ali, maybe this secret is getting too much?" As he mentioned the idea of me revealing the truth I shot up and began to walk away.

No one understands what its like to not be able to say 'Hi, I'm Ali Sugg, its nice to meet you.' I always have to pretend or not mention my surname, the one time I told someone who I was it didn't end well for me.

Flashback:

"Ali, can I ask you something?" Miles asked as we collapsed onto the sofa with a blanket, Miles is my boyfriend, and he has been for the last 4 months, things have been going smoothly, and slowly, its been perfect so far. We go on surprise dates, he takes me to those small places that you would never dream of discovering.

"Of course, what is it?" I asked, as I moved closer into his shoulder, getting comfortable.

"Why haven't I met your family? I mean, you never talk about them I was just wondering as you know, we've been in a relationship for a while now and-" I cut him off by kissing him, a short, sweet kiss. Now isn't the time to discuss my family. "Listen, Ali don't think you can just kiss me every time you want to avoid it, I am going to put duck tape on my lips until you tell me." He crossed his arms and sat in silence.
