As Tuva arrived home she looked at her phone.
9 messages and 2 missed calls.
All from Alyssa.

4:47pm

Tuva glanced quickly at the clock.
She had still three hours time to get ready.
Time to start making her home more homey.
Starting in the living room obviously.
She put on some music and picked up the box with the decorations she had took with her from sweden.
Some posters that she'd hang up in her own room.
Some family pictures.
Some candles, and some pretty lights.
Not much but it was enough to spend those three hours until she needed to be at the foggy dew bar.
Then she remembered that she doesn't even know how to get there so she called Alyssa real quick.
"hey... don't tell me you can't come tonight"
Alyssa answered the phone a bit worried.
"No no don't worry I just don't know how to get there could you come pick me up?"
She asks her giggling a bit at the beginning.
"Oh sure I'll bet at your place at 7:30pm, be ready!"
And with that Alyssa hung up.
Tuva looked at her phone and realized it was already 6:22pm.
She had only one hour left so she quickly went to her closet to fit an outfit together.
Finally after thinking about it for ages she decided to go with a navy blue pair of pants and a plain white tight long sleeve tshirt.

Tuva walked to the bathroom to get herself ready.
As she was dressing up she thought about those asthmatic guys how Alyssa and maki would call them.
She wondered how many people they even were, because Alyssa never mentioned it.
The only thing that she had mentioned was the leadsinger being called Elijah and the bassist Robert, as they were the bestfriends of her and Maki.
There are probably another guitarist and a drummer.
Tuva was kind of excited to meet them but scared too.
But that wasn't going to bother her now so she continued to do her makeup.
Soon she was ready and it was 7:15pm.
Fifteen minutes until Alyssa would show up.
She quickly put her lipstick on as she walked to the front door putting her shoes on and a leather jacket.
As she was starting to search for a bag that would go with the outfit, the door bell rang.
Tuva sprinted to the door and opened it.
Finding Alyssa and Maki infront of it.
"Hey are you ready?"
Maki asked.
"Yes sure let me find a bag real quick"
She answered going into the hallway again to find a bag.
As soon as he found a pretty dark brown bag, she put all her stuff that she needed into it and walked to the door.
"Let's go"
She said as she closed the door behind them.
"Soo are we going to walk or take to bus or other??"
Tuva asked , because she still had no clue how to get there or where it even was.
"What?"
Maki asked looking a little confused at Tuva for asking that.
Then realization hit her.
"Wait didn't you tell her?"
Now Maki was talking to Alyssa who was trying to hold a laugh in.
"Nope..."
Alyssa managed to say still trying to hold her laugh back.
"Ohhh"
Maki said with a wide grin.
Tuva looked confused at both of them.
What were they hiding from her that was so funny?
She had a small smile on her face too as she watched their faces trying to hold a laugh back.
Then she wondered what could possibly be the something they didn't told her.
She thought about what she had asked.
How they're going to get there.
As they reached outside finally all made sense.
There was a large uber van with four mens standing outside smoking.
And of course the driver.
Tuva looked to Alyssa and Maki who couldn't hold their laugh back anymore and burst out laughing.
"Well... now she knows"
Alyssa said while laughing with Maki.
Tuva scanned the van and the guys standing outside talking and smoking.
What.
The feeling.
It's back.
There were standing the same two guys that walked into that decoration shop two days ago.
As she was looking at the guy with the dreads, he suddenly turned around locking eyes with Tuva.
Her eyes widened and in surprise his eyes did too.
Everything went silent in her mind.
No thoughts.
She couldn't even hear Maki and Alyssa laughing anymore.
Just him.
The stranger that locked eyes with her.
Or was he a stranger.
Then it hit her.
Realization.
She knew him.
Very well.
Atleast she did.
She could feel slight tears forming in here eyes, but she didn't knew if they were happy tears or not.
"Hellooo???"
Maki was waving her hand infront of Tuvas eyes to get her attention.
Tuva came back from her zoning out session.
"I'm sorry yeah?"
She tried to focus on Maki but she could feel his eyes on her burning onto her skin.
"Let's introduce you to everyone"
Alyssa said taking tuvas hand and walking over to the guys.
The walk to the van felt like a decade for Tuva.
Her stomach was hurting from that weird feeling, that now she knew what had caused.
Her hands were sweating and her heart was racing like in a marathon.
Alyssa stopped for a second turning to Tuva.
"Hey everything alright you're sweating like hell"
Right Alyssa was holding her hand.
Tuva took a deep breath in before trying to calm herself down and get all her courage together.
"Yeah I'm alright sorry just a little sweaty"
She finally managed to say.
"Well then.."
"Guys this is Tuva"
Maki said introducing her to the guys.
Everyone seemed to introduce themselves, but Tuva couldn't really concentrate.
She knew she needed to ask later again for their names and it'd be embarrassing as hell.
The dreadhead suddenly spoke up.
"Josh"
He said.
Josh.
His voice echoed through tuvas mind.
Josh.
Josh jenkinson.
Could that be possible?
"josh?"
She said silently.
"Yeah?"
He answered.
Tuva looked up confused as she realized she had accidentally said his name out loud.
She could feel heat rising up her cheeks in embarrassment.
"Sorry was just trying to practice your names"
She lied stroking her neck and smiling slightly.
Wow what a good first impression.
Suddenly they heard the driver tell them to get in and they all got in.
To her luck she was sitting directly infront of Josh.
She tried avoiding eye contact and just looking at him.
As he suddenly spoke up to her.
"So how long have you been here in Dublin already?"
He asked like he knew something.
Tuvas eyes locked eye contact with home once more.
Something felt different about this guy.
Could it possibly be because she know she had known him before.
But she wasn't sure if he'd recognized her.
She wasn't even sure if it was really him or just some weird coincidence.
"I moved here a few days ago from-"
"Sweden?"
She was interrupted by him saying exactly what she wanted to say.
Her eyes widened at her response.
The weird feeling only getting more intense.
"How'd you know?"
She said her voice filled with confusion and some fear.
"Just a weird guess"
He said obviously lying but Tuva didn't notice it because she was still shocked he had got it on the first try.
She actually couldn't even read his body language or his face.
There was something strange about him she knew it but she didn't knew what.
"Okay"
She just said slight above a whisper before turning to Alyssa and Maki joining their talk about a some pair of shoes Alyssa wanted to buy.
