Meant To Be

Chapter 3

{DAN}

"Phil!" I yelled from my room, checking the clock it was 1 in the morning i had been on the internet for 5 strait hours now. Phil didn't answer so I walked to the lounge finding him sleeping on the couch, death note playing on the telly even though we've seen it a bajillion times. Deciding to let Phil sleep, I continued towards the kitchen and grabbed the cereal from the counter the milk from the fridge and made myself a snack. I walked back into the lounge, sat down and switched through channels to see if anything good was on. I gave up and grabbed Phil's laptop and signed into all social networking sites. I saw that I had received another 50 emails, I scanned through them till one got my attention, From: carrie.may@gmail.com .. She had written back! i quickly clicked the email and read through it:

Dan,

first: oh my asdfghjkl; i still can't believe you wrote back i actually just can't even.. second: now if i don't go to VidCon i will literally cry and third: well i think the malteasers might be cheating on you with me, sorry to bare this news. Lots of love Carrie x

I smiled she was really sweet, I really hoped to see her at VidCon, but what did she look like? I quickly logged into both twitter and instagram and searched her up: Carrie May. One result popped up for instagram but her user was private, on twitter about 30 Carrie May's appeared, I remember she wrote her twitter user in the letter but I had lost it in the hurricane that is my bedroom. I quickly looked through the twitter Carrie May's and saw a girl who had a red curly mass of hair tucked underneath a llama hat exactly like the one i had, she had dark brown eyes, and she was smiling in her photo; her description read: An internet obssesed girl who spends way too much time online rather than socializing. I laughed, my kind of people, I toke a guess and followed her, @carriemay38. I looked through her pictures uploaded on twitter, for an unsocial girl she was always in pictures with this one guy, Alex I read was his name was. Was is weird that I was jealous? I sat around thinking of the perfect email to write back.. I finally settled with:

Carrie,

I may have followed you on twitter if your account is @carriemay38. I like your llama hat haha.. i think i would cry too if i didn't see you at VidCon.. i wouldn't get the chance to tell you in person how wrong you are about me and malteasers. if you don't mind i would love to get to know you, will you happen to be in england anytime soon?

I pressed send and waited, what for I'm not sure. I hoped she still thought I was cool, now that we were getting to know each other. I checked the time it was about 3 in the morning, sleep I thought, would be good. So I turned off my laptop, slid into my pj's and went to bed. Only one question was bugging me:

Was Alex her boyfriend?

{CARRIE}

I was working on my final physics assignment when my phone beeped, well I was supposed to be working, I was actually daydreaming of VidCon, I would finally meet Dan Howell! I wonder if he would think I was pretty.. I walked over to my wardrobe and looked at myself in the full-length mirror. All I could think was: average. I was an average size, not thin but not fat, average brown eyes. I was a bit on the shorter side, the only thing different was my hair.. I had flamming red curly hair that flowed down to mid back, I didn't love it, but it definitely made me unique. I smiled as I saw my llama beanie hat inside my closet, I got it out and put it on, best purchase ever I thought.

"Carrie!" I heard Sophie yell, "pizza is here!" Sophie and I shared an appartment near campus, we weren't much of friends but she was bearable. "Hold on," I shout back remembering the beep from my phone, checking it I saw I had one new email. My heart raced was it him? Did he write back? I grabbed my mac turned it on quickly logged into my email to see one from: danisnotonfire1@gmail.com

Carrie,

I may have followed you on twitter if your account is @carriemay38. I like your llama hat haha.. i think i would cry too if i didn't see you at VidCon.. i wouldn't get the chance to tell you in person how wrong you are about me and malteasers. if you don't mind i would love to get to know you, will you happen to be in england anytime soon?

Dan x

Ah could I love him more? If only he saw me as more than a fan. I was going to reply when someone rang the door bell, I got up to go open the door yelling: "I got it," to Sophie who was probably eating. "Open up I'm cold," I hear Alex yell from outside, I laugh, "nah bitch, freeze to death, you smell that pizza?" I ask, "yeah that's my dinner and you can't have any."

"Please Carrie?" I see Alex pout through the eye hole, "please Care Bear," I smile remembering the nickname that he had given me when we were about 7..

*flashback*

"READY OR NOT HERE I COME!" 7 year old Alex yells. I giggle from my hiding spot, he would never find me underneath my bed, I freeze as the door to my room opens and Alex says, "where's Carrie, I'm sure she's not here," then out of nowhere someone's on the bed jumping slamming the mattress ontop of me who was still under the bed. "Owww!" I whine crawling out, "found you," he smiles. I tackle him yelling: "not funny!" We stop fighting and I catch my breath, we're both laying on my bed. Finally Alex says: "we need nicknames,"

"Ok," I say back, "what's mine?"

Alex thinks for a while then says, "Care Bear!" he smiles, "and you can call me X Man."

*end*

"CARRIE!!" I snap back to reality and open the door. Alex barges in past me, "thank god, I actually thought you wouldn't let me in, I would actually die," he exaggerates. "I wouldn't do that," I reply innocently, batting my eyelashes, "I love you too much." He winks at me and heads for the kitchen, Sophie runs to me, "you didn't tell me Alex was coming over!" She whisper yelled at me as she was fixing her hair and her t shirt. "I didn't know," I replied, "sorry," I added. Alex walked in as she mummbled, "whatever." "Hi Sophie," Alex said with a mouth full of pizza, "seductive," I tell him laughing. Sophie now flushed bright pink stares at her toes and barely whispers a hi back before rushing upstairs. Looking confused Alex asks: "what's I do?" "I don't know," I say back, but I did know, because that was exactly how I would act if I was crushing on someone, and this wasn't the first time Sophie was caught blushing in front of Alex, who was completely oblivious to the entire situation. I would have to ask her about it later.
