Meeting The Doctor - A Sort-Of-Matt Smith Story

Chapter 6 - Well, That Was Awkward

My glass dropped to the floor and shattered.

Matt pulled away quickly, "Oh god Jana. I'm sorry I don't-"

I shook my head, bit my lip and stepped away from him. The woman who did makeup had heard the glass shatter and was standing in the doorway now, "Is everything okay in here? I heard something break."

"Yeah we're okay. I'm just really clumsy and I dropped my glass," I said, not looking at Matt.

"Well do you need help with it?"

"No thanks Lynne. I got it."

She nodded and walked back out to the living room. As soon as she was gone I shut the door and turned on Matt, "What the hell?! Earlier when I accused you of flirting, you practically had a heart attack. And now you've completely changed! What's wrong with you?!"

Matt looked down at the floor and ran a hand through his hair, "I... I don't know what happened.. I mean.. I only had three glasses of Lotte.."

I stared at him, "Three? Ha. No wonder you snogged me. You're car-parked. Ha ha. That's grand." I started laughing hysterically. Matt looked at me like I was insane.

"Oh this is great. Well, as much as I would LOVE to stay here and watch you make an even bigger fool of yourself, I'm going," I laughed as I picked up the broken pieces of glass.

As soon as I was done, I threw the pieces in the trash, grabbed my stuff and walked toward the door. The entire time, Matt had stood there silent.

I didn't plan on going to another of his parties again.

Right before I got to the door, a kid grabbed my arm, "Hey Jana, where are you going?"

I recognized him as one of the extras. In fact, I think he was a 'permanent extra'. Meaning that as long as he wanted to be on the show, he'd be an extra. I'm pretty sure his name is Scott.

•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•

Five minutes later we were walking toward his car. Scott, turns out I do know his name, had volunteered to take me home after I'd admitted that's where I had been headed. Of course he'd asked why, but I'd just made up some excuse and he'd accepted it.

"Jana? Hey, Jana," I snapped out of my thoughts as I realized that Scott had been talking to me.

"Oh god I'm sorry. I got lost in my thoughts. Sorry," I looked down, blushing a little. Why did I have to be so awkward about things?

Scott chuckled a bit, "It's okay. I just asked what it was like being the companion. They won't let me audition for that part so I just have to deal with asking what it's like."

"Oh it's great. But we've really only just started so I can't say exactly. And I was wondering, why won't they let you be companion," I asked looking up at him.

"When I started being on the show, they told me I could be an extra. But I told them that I wanted to be a companion because that's what I'd auditioned for. That hadn't picked anyone from the group of us who auditioned to be the companion anyway! But they said that if I was an extra, I'd get to stay longer anyway," he sighed when he finished. Clearly he,s still unhappy about the fact that he's an extra.

I frowned, "Oh. I'm sorry. But in a way, isn't it better? You'll get to be on the show longer than I will. I mean they might do what they did with Billie Piper, Catherine Tate, and some of the others who played companions, and bring me back occasionally."

Scott laughed a bit, "Yeah I guess you're right."

Before I could reply though, Scott unlocked the car doors, and opened mine for me. I smiled and got in, "Thank you." Scott nodded in reply and shut my door, going around to get into his seat.

I watched as he started his car. After he had it on, and had turned the radio down, he turned to me, "Where do you live at?"

"Oh! Right. I guess you'd need to know that if you're taking me home."

He laughed and nodded, "Yeah, I kind of do."

A/N:

Sorry. This chapter kind of sucked.

I don't really like it. I might try to rewrite it later. When I get the time.

But again, sorry.

Also, if you leave a comment describing what color your eyes are, and I like it, you'll get a dedication at the beginning of the next chapter.

Yes it's random, but it's all I could think of at the moment.

Hahaha. I'll update on Friday at the latest. Bye loves.
