Her name Alexus Monta Venture, and my my name Tolia Losent Ontemp. I always looked up to her, I shoot to be just like her. We are both huge comic book, anime, card games and kids cartoon show fans, we love so many more things that make us so much the same. Yet my short chubby, glasses hiding face look with short brown hair and her tall slender streaked blond hair with perfect makeup made us look from two different worlds. I fumbled over every other word I said and could never sound serious in person, I am shy and scared of so many things. Alex was smart, talented, loud, grumpy and a cool girl she understood what was new and hip so no one ever guessed she was a nerd. Alex always had a boyfriend, strong and charming. She liked to bring them to conventions like the first one I met her at, she was wearing the best Aayla Secura from Star Wars cosplay I had ever seen but a man walked with her trying to hold her hand or put his arm around her but getting reject and glared at each time. The makeup for the costume probably took her some time, I wouldn't want someone touching me and messing it up either. I asked her quietly for her picture, with a small smile she nodded and followed me out of the crowded area to a wall that made an okay background. Her boy friend tried to get in on the picture but she explained about three times to him his t-shirt that says Star Wars in boring letters was not a costume worth taking a picture of. I took so many pictures of her I was so surprised I didn't fill my camera card, witch I wouldn't have minded. She walked up closer so me after I finally was happy with the number of photos I got and smiled a little at me again.
"How about a selfie cutie pie?" Her voice was so rough and sweet, I nodded happily with my mouth open a little. We took one with my camera and one with her phone that her lackey was carrying, again that makeup nothing can get touch it also I wasn't sure there was any pockets in the cosplay. She asked me to join her for lunch if I was free witch as always I was, I wasn't one for to many panels so I wasn't up to much for some time. Alex decided to send her boyfriend, Jerk- I mean Jeremy to look around the show floor without her.
"Come on, I know a really good cafe in the area, since this is a con I am guessing you won't mind eating cake for lunch hu?" She laughed and pulled my arm to go threw the crowd, I wasn't sure if it was the make up she was covered in or just her but she was so soft I felt like I was being led to heaven by a living porcelain doll, was magical and exciting to say the least.
Once there Alex order a bunch of cakes for us and a pot of tea she said would pair amazingly with what she picked.
"So, my names Alex. I am from England I am sure you guess from the ascent, and this only my I dunno millionth convention ever. These things just never get old you know, meeting people seeing costumes and being able to be exactly who I want to be is a feeling I never want to lose. Can also never have to many posters am I right?" She giggles and smiled to me not focusing her eyes in one place for very long, she was scanning the room not seeming for anything in particular but just to keep looking what else she could see.
"Y-yeah posters are really great, I suppose yeah..." I mumbled and only got quieter as I went, I was so worried of scaring this girl off I didn't know what to say exactly. I really wanted her to like me, but all I did was talk into the table and fidget with my hands as I blushed, now really was not the time for my stupid stutter to come out. Alex just gave me another smile as our tea came being placed in front of us with a genial cling. Our waitress apologised for not informing us sooner that we had to pick our own tea cups from their wall of over a hundred tea cups, she offered to just pick something for us so we didn't have to trouble our self but Alex politely declined and again grabbed my arm taking to the wall. Alex picked a cup quickly, one that was black with cute little cartoon skulls on it they all had different coloured bows on them the saucer was black with pink spiderwebs on it.
"I just love the way black and pink look together, and these skulls are so cute how in the world could I pass this one up. I'll meet you back at our table I don't want any of our stuff getting taken." She gave me a small smile and a wave while almost dropping the tea cup, she just giggled it off and walked away. Myself on the other hand was so indecisive I stood there for so long our waitress Christine came over asked if she could help me pick at all.
