How I Met Dan Howell

Chapter 7: I'm...Different?

After we had gotten back from dinner, Gavin, Mackenzie, and I were invited by Dan and Phil to lunch tomorrow.

Ahhhhhh!!!! Are you for real right now?!

Ok, Taylor. Calm down. It's just lunch.

After we had hung out with Gavin for a couple more hours, we decided it was time for Mack and I to go back to our apartment for the night.

"Ok, I'll see you girls tomorrow. And you're going to meet up back here, correct?" Gavin asked.

"Yeah, we'll meet you down here and just ring the doorbell and y'all can just meet us down here," I say.

"Alright, sounds good. Bye girls. Love you!"

"Love you, too," Mack and I say in unison.

"We need to stop doing that," I say.

"Yeah, you're right."

We both start laughing simultaneously.

We eventually get back to the apartment and decide to do our own thing for the night. I head to my room and decide to spend some time on YouTube. I decide to watch 'A Day in the Life of Dan and Phil in Japan'. That one never gets old.

As I watch the video, I can't concentrate. I just keep thinking about Dan. When I look at him in this video, all I can think about is that I am going to lunch with him tomorrow.

I'm going to spend time with him tomorrow.

People pay to meet him. And I get to have lunch with him.

After a while, I look at the time. 3:00 a.m.

Eh, that's not too bad. I guess I should get some sleep.

I shut my laptop down and place it on my end table.

I shift to my side and count to 100 like every late night.

1…I get to see him tomorrow.

2…I get to talk to him tomorrow.

3…I won't just be on the other side of a screen.

4…I won't be invisible.

5…And I'm out like a light.

The next morning, I wake up on my own after a dreamless night. I grab my phone off the charger on my end table and look at the time.

7:24 a.m.

Are you fucking kidding' me?! I fell asleep at 3:00 and woke up at 7:24!? Nope, nope, nopeity, nope, nope, no. I'm going back to bed.

After 20 minutes of sitting there, fully awake, I give up and get out of bed. Ugh.

I decide to go ahead and get ready for lunch later today. I head to my closet and decide what to wear. I ended up picking my black polo, dark blue skinny jeans, and black converse. I head to the bathroom to brush my hair and straigeten it. I put my eyelincr and mascara on and look in the mirror. Wow. it's amazing how a tiny bit of makeup and straightening my hair can make me feel. Not beautiful, but nice.

After thinking that I look pretty decent, I check to see what time it is. 8:48 a.m.

Well, I guess I should grab something to eat. I think about something small I can have. I decide on just having a Granny Smith apple. I don't usually have a huge breakfast, only occasionally will I have a large breakfast. As I eat my apple, I get a Twitter notification on my phone.
