Who are you? (danisnotonfire fanfic) ON HOLD

Chapter 4

 I didn't take long for Arya to finish her pizza, and since everyone else was still eating she took out her sketch pad and a pencil and started doodling.  She didn't know what she was drawing, she was just going with the flow and seeing what came out.

Dan was surprised by how quickly Arya finished her pizza.  Even though she was tall, she had such a slender frame, he didn't think she'd be able to eat so much so fast.  He peered over her shoulder to see what she was doing and noticed she was drawing.  He wasn't quite certain what it was, but it looked like a dragon breathing fire towards a group of people, and there was one person with a sword protecting them.  He had a déjà vu from when he looked over her shoulder this morning.  God, was it only this morning?  He knew it was very clichéd, but he felt like he'd known her for longer, even though he didn't really know that much about her.  He looked back at his own food before anyone noticed him staring and finished eating.

Everyone else finished eating roughly the same time as each other, and soon enough the conversation picked up again.  Since Chris was engrossed in conversation with PJ, Dan took the opportunity to talk to Arya, something he'd been wanting to do properly for hours.  He just hoped that how he'd been acting around her hadn't put her off him.  "So, all those people crowded around you earlier... You make YouTube videos?  I don't mean to offend, but you seem like quite a shy person."

Arya smiled.  "I'm a lot different on camera... and around people I know well."

"So what type of content do you make?"  Dan asked, genuinely curious as to what Arya did in her spare time.

"It depends on what I fancy doing really.  Sometimes I vlog, sometimes I draw, and on very rare occasions, when I have the time, I make little skits."  Arya and Dan continued chatting for quite a while, talking about anything from music to video games to food, all of it very trivial.  Arya kept some obvious points out about her life, but they were both really enjoying talking to each other.  they were completely oblivious that pretty much everyone had quietened down or stopped talking to listen to their conversation because, even though nobody had voiced it, they were all curious to know who Arya was.  After a few minutes, Arya realised that everyone was silent and had been listening to everything she'd been saying.  She stopped talking and blushed, embarrassed that everyone was listening to her.  "Has everyone finished then?"  She asked, diffusing the silence in the room.  It felt unusual to her that they had been the only ones in the restaurant all afternoon.

"Yeah I guess so, unless anyone wants dessert?"  Dean said from across the table.

"Nahh, I'm full."  Jack said, a few people agreeing with him.

The bill came for their meal and they split it between them.  Dan insisted on paying for Arya's share, and after much protest, she eventually agreed.  She'd find some way of giving it back to him at some point.

"I might grab something on the way out."  Arya mentioned, she was still hungry.  She'd skipped breakfast that morning, and had barely eaten anything the day before.

"There's a great little coffee shop that stays open late not too far from here."  Phil interjected.  "We could go there if you're still hungry.  I'll see if anyone wants to come with."  He quickly went round asking the others.  "Jack and Dean aren't coming, they said they're too tired, Evan's coming with us, and Carrie said she would, but she's going to see her parents."  Arya nodded.  So that leaves Dan, Phil, Chris, PJ and Evan, cool.

They spent the next few minutes saying their goodbyes.  Arya gave her number to the three who were leaving and hugged them, feeling like she'd made a few good friends.

"I'll call you soon, maybe we can hang out, if you're not too busy that is."  Carrie winked, making Arya go bright red, her cheeks almost matching her hair.
