A Living Dream // 5sos

chapter 2: a new beginning

I wake up to the sound of my alarm. Its 5am. I like to get up early so I can shower, do my hair and do my makeup in time for school. I take a long time in the bathroom. Half the time, I'm either lip singing to music I have playing, or I'm just looking in the mirror and dancing.

Wow, I have a pathetic life.

I'm about to get up but I trip on something on my floor and fall flat.

I forgot Riley stayed over...

"Ouch! Good morning to you too."  She said as I tried to stand up.

"Sorry Rye. I forgot u were over. Do u need a change of clothes?"

She was currently wearing sweats and a band t-shirt. I guess she only brought a jacket.

"Maybe a sweater or something?"

"A sweater would be fine. The clothes I have are good but I think I didn't prepare for the cold."  She said as I was getting an outfit.

I found a red plaid shirt and threw it to her.  "That ok?"   I quickly changed out of my shirt and into a grey long sleeve.

"Its perfect. Thanks" Riley said as she put on the shirt.

"No problem. Now what do you want to eat?"  I asked as I continued to change. I guess Im skipping a shower today.

"That's a hard question to answer." She chuckled. "But I guess toast is fine, as long as you have nutella."

I rolled my eyes and led the way downstairs.

We got into the kitchen and I put the bread in the toaster. I watched it cook. It took forever. As a stared down at the toaster, I realized this was going to be a long day...

Finally, last period came. I didn't even pay attention to what Mr.Tyler was talking about. Something along the lines of, "blah blah blah math blah blah blah numbers blah blah blah answer is x plus 4..."  I was too focused on the clock. Then after staring at it, I noticed someone looking at me. A guy, I think he's new. I've never seen him around before.

He smiled at me. He had blonde hair and perfectly straight teeth. His eyes were a dark brown.

Huh, that was like me, blonde hair brown eyes......its like were unicorns...never seen but spoken about...

Usually all blondes have blue eyes.

I continued to look at him. Black jeans, grey t-shirt and a green plaid shirt. I liked his style. And the funny thing is, we almost matched.

He caught me looking and smiled again. Then he winked at me and went back to looking at the teacher.

I froze, I didn't know what to do and I could feel my checks heating up. I knew I must of looked like a tomato.

I unfreeze as I hear the bell. I quickly pick up my books and binder and go to my locker. I'm relieved that the day is over. Suddenly, I hear the locker beside mine make a bang as I look up to see the guy who was staring at me. He smiled once again and let out a chuckle. Yup, I was definitely a tomato.

"Hi. The names Jack. Jack Michaels. But its just Jack I guess."  He put his hand out. I gladly took it in mine and felt him tense up. Maybe I'm not the only nervous one.

"Hi. I'm Evelyn. Evelyn Rose. But I guess its just Evelyn also."  He smiled as I said this. I let go of his hand and turned back to my locker to get my backpack...and to also check my tiny mirror to see if I was decent.

"Well Evelyn, I'm new here. Today was my first day and you're the first person I've talked to."  He looked at the floor and scratched the back of his neck. I guess he's more nervous than I thought. But who can blame him. First day at a highschool.

"Well I'm glad I'm the first. You seem cool and you're being really nice so far. But hey, don't look too nervous. I don't bite."  As I said this he laughed.

"Thanks. And is it really that obvious that I'm nervous?" 

"Not really but you might want to act more chill around people. You seem tense and you go red sometimes. But i don't mind."  After I said this he seemed to calm down.

"Well I have to go, but can we meet up tomorrow?"  He asked and I instantly took out a pen. Then I grabbed his hand and wrote my number and email.

"I know we just met but you don't seem like a serial killer. If you want me to answer you on text, the code word is peanut butter banana and then your name. I'll see you tomorrow."  And with that I gave him a smile and started to walk out of the school and to the playground where I promised to meet Riley. I didn't even give poor Jack a chance to say goodbye or thank you. I just left.

"Took you long enough. Look we have no time for explanations. We need to get that 5sos cover video up by today. They're coming to Toronto next month. Maybe we can meet them and maybe they'll see it."  As Riley says this I completely forget about Jack and nod as I quickly get into her car.

.....the blood in my veins, is made up of mistakes. Let's forget who we are and dive into the dark.

"That is the end of this video. I hope you guys enjoyed my jet black heart cover. Make sure to like and subscribe and tell your friends. May the force be with you. Bye!"

Yes. I just quoted star wars.

After I said that Riley just gave me a confused and weirded out look before laughing. I couldn't help but laugh along with her.

"You're such a nerd. But I love your nerdyness."  She said in between laughs.

"Yeah thanks. Now lets edit this thing and tweet and DM 5sos as much as we can."  I said. Riley quickly grabbed my laptop and in 45 minutes, she was done and had posted it.

I then realized that I have over 180,000 subscribers now. Wow.

After tweeting and dm'ing 5sos and the 5sos boys, we gave up. A few fan accounts retweeted me and even Colliscool the youtuber did too. But, we didn't think we were getting that close to 5sos. Riley had to go home so I was left alone. Well my brother tried to get me to go out of my room but I was so tired.

I heard my phone buzz after a while. I figured it was Jack because he seemed shocked after I gave him my number and was probably eager. I looked at my phone and just froze. Jack didn't text me. I got a DM on Instagram. It read:

From @lukehemmings-- hello to you too. I loved your video. You have a great voice.

I read it and dropped my phone. I'm speechless.
