Meeting

Daisy POV

Whoever decided that physical maps should still be made into existence is a nut job of a cartographer that uses other peoples' suffering to make money! My own has been flinging around in the wind for the past 10 minutes and I can't get it to straighten out in the slightest.

When Ethan offered for me to bunk with him while I stopped in Paris during my worldwide trip, he could've chosen an apartment complex that actually shows up on goodbye maps to rent. Does he not realise how sketchy that is?!

As I attempt to pin down the irritating as fuck piece of paper, I bump into someone and let go of the map, the drink I had caused them to drop spilling all over it.

'Oh shit! I am so so sorry!' Immediately I get down, trying to save their other items from getting soaked.

'It is okay, do not worry. It seems your map has gotten soaked however.' They surprise me by speaking in perfect English, and I look up to find a girl that seems to be around my age staring down.

Her hair is gorgeous, brown and thick, curling down to the bottom half of her back, which really compliments her mascara. This also contrasts greatly with the pale complexion of her skin. Fuck! She is cute!

'Eh, it wasn't helping me much anyway.' I cross my arms after handing her back her things, attempting to hide my small (okay massive!) blush.

'You seem a bit lost. Perhaps I could help?' She smiles, and it is really pretty.

'Yes please! Oh thank you so much! I've been trying to find this place for ages!' The relief takes over my embarrassment and gushing, and I whip my phone out of my pocket, I show her the address. Only a moment later, she snorts and shakes her head.

'You are in good hands then, because that is where I live, same apartment number and all.' She smirks.

Wow, okay, maybe my luck today isn't so bad after-all. At that, I give her another once over and she does the same to me, only then do I feel a bit of recognition.

'Wait, hold on. Is your name Pascale? You're Ethan's roommate?' I ask, slightly in awe of the circumstances.

'Yes, that is me, and you are Daisy, no? Heath talked a lot about you when I was on exchange at The Next Step.'

This is actually crazy, out of all the people in Paris, I ran into Heath's...girlfriend?

Okay, so I don't really know the relationship status between them, but I've been talking to Heath a lot since I left the studio (come on, he's my best-friend), and he's shown me pics of Pascale and told me how they had been flirting a lot and how he really likes her. But, I haven't gotten an update about it since Internationals.

At first it actually surprised me, cause I thought for awhile that he was gay.

'Yeah, same to you. He ranted a lot about your guys'...relationship?'

'Ah yes, that. Not much of one anymore. We decided to just stay friends since I was moving back here.' She answers me.

Oh, so they're not together. Is it bad that the thought makes me a bit excited? I know she is kind of Heath's ex, but is sounds like they're on good terms.

Please let her be bi! Please let her be bi!

'How about I walk you there? I was just about to head back, so...' She points behind her and gives me another soft smile. Really, how could I say no to that?

'I would love to.' With that, I follow her lead, the two of us immediately starting a new conversation and laughing.

'So, do you know about Heath's fascination with bugs?'
