(Your P.O.V)

I just finished a long day of work at Hot Topic. My manager asked me to stay late and clean up because it was a Holliday, I agreed because I want to get the extra money because I was going to a TØP concert in a couple days, I also got the meet and greet pass. So I agreed, to stay on good terms with my manager, who really was my only friend at the moment.

"Y\N! Hey can you close up shop for me?" my manager Meghan asked politely. "yeah sure." I replied emotionlessly. "THANK YOU!" she hugged me and ruffled my blue hair.

I dyed my hair blue awhile ago to get myself pumped for the concert and it was definitely helping.

I was now alone in the closed store.
"Why did I decide to walk here today?" I asked myself.
"I am not walking home, I'm taking the subway." I continued muttering.
It was about a thirty minute walk to the mall in the morning, and I decided I needed to walk, but I was so tired after today, and there was no way in hell my mom would pick me up.
I cleaned up the shop and kept babbling to myself as to why I didn't take my car.

I closed the shop completely and remembered I was going to see Twenty One Pilots in 2 days. I silently fan girled in the empty, dark mall, and danced as I locked the doors, I pulled out my headphones and walked out of the mall and towards the subway station.

I knew the subway ride would take almost an hour to get home, because of all the stops, but I was so tired i didn't care. It was almost midnight. I put in my headphones and put on my TØP playlist. I was waiting for my train in the practically empty station singing Goner quietly.
When I heard a low voice singing it with me. I turned around a saw a man with a hood and sunglasses on, who looked about my age, leaning on the wall behind me.

"You have a lovely voice..." the boy spoke slowly. "I love that song."
I recognized his voice, but didn't know why, I was too tired to care.
"Oh no, I don't, but thank you, Me too." I replied.
"I like your hair" he said, noting it's bright blue hue. I smiled slightly in response.
The train screeched to a halt in front of me and I got on, I sat near a window on the crowded bus, and leaned my head on the wall and closed my eyes.
"Can I sit here?"
I heard a familiar voice ask me. I didn't even turn around, I just nodded. "You going to the Twenty One Pilots concert this Friday?" I was asked. I turned slightly and saw the hooded, sunglasses man who complimented my singing, sitting beside me. I smiled and nodded again. "Yeah.. I actually get to meet them.. Are you?" I asked back.
he nodded slowly. "I'll definitely see you there." he said giggling. "Yeah." was all I replied.
I know I recognized him. But I couldn't put my finger on it. He smiled at me and I returned it.
Maybe I went to school with him, whatever. I thought.

I soon dosed off listening to my music.

I was later woken up by the boy sitting beside me, shaking me lightly, "Hey Blue, wake up." I was leaning on him. "Hey this is my stop and I thought I'd let you know, so you didn't fall." he said sweetly. "oh my fuck I'm so sorry, I fell asleep on you, you should've moved me." I face palmed.
"Hey no worries, you looked comfy. See you on Friday?" he said
I smiled awkwardly, feeling bad for falling asleep on that poor guy. He left and waved at me. But my stop was next so I sat upright.

I got off and walked home, it was now 1 AM so I walked in the house as quietly as I could, so not to wake my mother and her boyfriend Robert.

Skillfully, I went upstairs without disturbing them and flopped on my bed face first. "I'll shower in the morning", I groaned.

I was out like a light.
