California Dream

Chapter 3

We pull into the parking lot of Santa Monica Pier. "Ready to have some fun!" I shout.

"Of course I am!" Erin replies. We pay for ride stamps and decide to ride the Ferris wheel first. We almost immediately get on the ride considering how early in the day it is. Our cart slowly starts to ride up.

"This is so beautiful," I say leaning over the side of the cart looking at the beach.

"I know I love it here so much, I never want to leave," the ride makes its way all the way around and we slide out of the cart. "Do you want to ride the roller coaster?" Erin says.

"Sure!" We walk over to the roller coaster eyeing some good looking guys as we make our way over to it. We ride rides for about half an hour. "Are you hungry at all?" I say glancing over at Erin.

"Yeah a bit where do you want to go?"

"How's McDonalds sound?"

"Good for me," Erin states. we make our way off the pier and into her car taking off to McDonalds. I check the time- 11:30. We pull into McDonalds and go inside. Erin orders her food- Chicken wrap, for me fries. we make our way to the table and talk about the guys at the pier.

"Did you see that really hot guy looking at you at the pier!" I say in an overly girly squeal.

"No! Was he really that hot though?" Erin says.

"Oh my god yes he was gorgeous! He was so hot I could've started drooling. I tried to tell you, but I couldn't really without making it obvious."

"Well I guess I was to hot for him since he didn't walk up to me and say something," she says through a laugh. I giggle a bit.

My phone lights up with another tweet notice from Connor Franta saying, "meet up in 30min hope to see your lovely faces there!"

"We should probably get going," I say. I finish off my fries then throw the box away.

"Yeah your right it takes about 15 min to get to Friendship Park." We throw the rest of our garbage away and climb into the car. The realization that I'm actually about to meet Connor Franta, Ricky Dillon, Sam Pottorff, Jc Caylen, Trevor Moran, and Kian Lawley starts to officially set in. Butterflies fill my stomach making it feel weird.

I check the time on my phone- 12:45. Just as I lock my phone we turn into Friendship Park. Not very many people are there considering it was a short notice meet up. I jump out of the car in excitement and quickly walk over to the line of people next the tent where the O2L boys are sitting.

After around 10 minutes I make my way up to the tent just to where the guys can see me and I can see them. I see Kian talking to Connor. All of a sudden Kian looks up at me and gives me a funny look, he then whispers something to Connor. Connor quickly looks up at me giving me a long stare.

I think to my self- oh god they're talking about me. What if they're judging me for what I have on or they think I look weird or something.- Panicky thoughts flow through my mind until it's finally my turn to go meet them.

I make my way into the tent and give them all a hug except Connor, he just keeps staring at me. I say, "uh hi, I'm Annie. I'm a huge fan I really like your videos!"

"Thanks," Connor says. "Were you at Taylor Fort Beach yesterday around 12-2ish?" he adds before I can say anything else.

"Yeah why?" I question.

"Did you have on a floral print bikini?" and then it hits me, the way Connor was staring at me was the same way Mr. Nice Abs was staring at me, they both had the same sandy blonde hair too. Holy crap Connor Franta was Mr. Nice Abs!

I quickly answer,"yeah that was me, were you that guy that was staring at me from further down the beach" I ask.

"Yeah sorry about that," he says through an embarrassed look.

"It's fine," I say through a laugh. "Well it was nice meeting you all," I say. I lean in to give Connor a hug and he tightly hugs me.

I start to walk away but before I get very far I hear Connor say, "Annie, wait!" I whirl around to find Connor jogging up to me. "I'm really sorry again for staring at you like that, it's just I think you're really beautiful," he says through his cute little smile.

"Thanks," I say. I feel a blush going through my cheeks.

"Do you mind if I get your number?" he says.

"Sure!" I say a little more excited than I intended it to be. "It's 859-326-1423" he scribbles the numbers down onto his hand.

"I don't recognize that area code, where are you from?" he asks.

"I just moved here from Kentucky I flew out here yesterday morning."

"Oh cool a country girl," he says through a smirk.

I laugh a little, "not exactly I'm from northern Kentucky I lived right next to Cincinnati so I'm more of a city girl than a country girl."

"Well miss city girl I will call you after the meet up and maybe we can hangout later. If you'd like that?" He says.

"Sure! That'd be great."

"Well it was really nice meeting you instead of just staring at you," he says through his cute laugh.

"I agree!" I say also laughing.

"Well I gotta get back to the other fans, talk to you later," he says leaning in to give me another hug.

I hug him back and say, "bye."

"Bye," he shoots back and we make our separate ways. Joy, excitement, and pure happiness rushes through me as I walk back to the car. Connor Franta just asked for MY number and we're going to hangout tonight! California is absolutely awesome!

I get in the car with a big smile on my face. "It's about time," Erin says. she lowers her phone and looks at me noticing my huge grin. "What happened to you?" She asks.

"Connor Franta just asked for my number!" I scream excitedly.

"You're kidding!" she says.

"Nope!"

"So when's he gonna call!" she says.

"He said after the meet up and we can make some plans to go do something," I reply. "By the way, I found out that's who was staring at me on the beach yesterday. Connor Franta is Mr. Nice Abs!"

"I know you know I don't like him very much, but seriously I'm really happy for you. I know this is like one of your biggest fantasies coming true. So me, being your amazing best friend, will help you get ready for your date tonight," she says smiling.

"Well let's go back to the house!" I say excitement overflowing inside of me.
