Its cold day. This doesn't normally happen around here.
Getting out of bed was terrible, feeling the warmth escape from the covers and into the cold air.
I groan and eventually look what time it is on my phone. I gasp as I realize that it's almost 9 am!
"Shit" I say under my breathe as I race to my closet.
I put on a nice red dress for work today. Nice and simple can never be over the top.
I put light makeup on, slightly because I'm running late but also because I don't need it. I don't mind looking like shit.
I grab my office coat and my Vans.
My office isn't strict at all, I chose the career of becoming a video game designer. The office staff are very nice to me and dress crazier than me.
I quickly grab a oatbar and run out the door of my apartment.
I arrive at work after 20 minutes of just running. My staff greets me and we get right to work of designing a new video game from scratch.
6:09 PM (Later that day)
I tell all my staff members to have a good night and then I walk out onto the sidewalks.
After about 5 minutes of walking, it starts pouring rain hard.
"Fuck!" I yell under my breathe and I start running.
I forgot a fucking umbrella, kms.
Suddenly I hear a familiar voice behind me.
"Um excuse me miss, do you need an umbrella?"
I turn around and see a cute boy. His chestnut hair gently springs upwards on the ends. His eyes big and dark. His Vans hoodie was honestly adorable. He had a Vans snapback on too with an grey umbrella above his head.
"Oh yeah, thanks!" I say as I scurry under his umbrella.
"It really started coming down suddenly, didn't it?" His deep voice asks.
"Yeah! It did!" God I was being so awkward. He was so adorable, it was making me so nervous. "So, um w-w-where are you from?"
"I'm from Utah, I just moved here for my job. My name is Calvin, what's your name?"
I felt totally embarrassed that I asked him where he's from but not his name.
"My name is Ariana, but call me Ari."
"Alright sounds good!"
We talked for an hour straight under his grey umbrella, talking about meaningless stuff and his YouTuber career until the rain stops. He won't tell me his subscribers until I see it for myself. How much could he have? 100? 500? If so then wow he must be really good at what he does!
"It's almost dark, I better get going" I say.
"Alright be careful on your way home, hopefully we can meet again sometime and play some video games since you make them!"
"Alright Leafysalad" I teased
"Feelsbadman" he joked back. I giggled and waved goodbye.
About 5 minutes from my apartment, I hear rapid footsteps behind me.
"Ari!"
I turn and see Calvin, out of breath.
"Oh god are you okay, did you just run a marathon?" I ask jokingly.
He smiles and then says "I forgot to ask for your phone number."
"Oh my god okay give me your phone mister"
He handed me his phone with his "Add Contact" page already open.
I give him mine, too lazy to do the work of going to the add contact page. He smiles as he works his way through my phone.
I quickly tap my number into his contacts, I set my name as "My new best friend Ari"
He sees the name and giggles.
"Clever"
God that smile makes me blush the deepest red.
We waved each other goodbye and went into different directions.
I eventually got into my apartment and had a nice warm shower.
I got into my onesie and decided to check out Calvin's YouTube.
I typed L-e-a-f-y-I-s-H-e-r-e into the YouTube search bar and tapped enter.
4 fucking million subscribers? I couldn't believe my eyes.
I watched every single one of his videos that night and caught myself having attacks of laughter at each joke he made. This guy is a cutie and has a sense of humor? Could he get anymore perfect?
As the weeks went on, Calvin walked with me home every day. Once or twice he came into my apartment but only for a minute. I was beginning to feel major feelings but I can't mess this up. I'm not gonna lose a friendship with an amazing person just cause of my stupid feelings. He probably doesn't feel the same way what so ever.
