"Who's that?" my friend Mads asked looking at the background of my lock screen.
"Michael Clifford," I said looking at my sunshine.
"Does Virginia have a boyfriend?" she laughs with a rises eyebrow.
"Ha yeah..." I say jokingly. Everyone that sees my lock screen asks me if I'm dating him. I usually tell them that I wish and that he's in a famous band but who cares I'm going to make my own fanfiction up and make it my real life.
"Is it complicated or something?"
"Yeah you can say that," *cough* fanzoned *cough* She has been around me enough to know my slight, and by slight I mean huge, obsession with 5 Seconds of Summer.
"How long have you known him?" she says. Should I keep this going? It's really fun, I think I am.
"Umm 2013, so three years," I say remembering back to my first concert that I actually liked the band. It was One Directions and they were terrible tickets but I didn't care I loved them and was happy to only see the ant of men. 5 Seconds of Summer were opening up for them and they were amazing they played this song called Superhero and it was so good I just wish I got video of it. That's when I fell in love with 5sos! Since that day on I couldn't get enough; four concerts, twenty thousand pieces of band merch, two albums, one live album, seven eps, like fifty illegally downloaded covers and unreleased songs.
"How old is he?Does he go to this school? I've never seen him before." she asks all at once bombarding me with questions like she always does.
"He's twenty, he dropped out of school a few years ago to become a band roadie for One Direction," I say half lying to her so she doesn't catch on to my lie.
"Oh that's cool. But how the hell did you meet him?" she says. She's not into pop music very much she is more of a rap and JB.
"Remember when I told you my dad was an event coordinator?"
"Yeah but what did he do throw his cousin a bar mitzvah or something?" she laughs.
"No he's not that kind of event coordinator; he coordinates concerts for bands. He plans everything from the set up to the dates that bands play at his venue." I explain.
"Wait so does that mean he could get you into any concert you want for free?!" I nod my head and she starts squealing. This is exactly why I let people think my dad is a party planner not a concert planner.
"Anyways I went to the concert with my dad and a friend and we met him backstage and we talked for a little while and I got his number. He randomly messaged me hey after like three years of not talking and now we're a couple-ish." I say lying through my teeth, I wonder if she knows if I'm lying or not. But the real question here is, is it hi or hey?
"Awe you sound like you're in love!" she squeals in my ear again. Ugh she's such a squealer.
"It's been two weeks I'm not in love with him," I lie again. I am completely and utterly in love with this man that will never love me back and that I may never meet.
