Do Talk to Strangers (A Bastille Fan-fiction)

Party Time!

It had been a week since my catch-up with Kyle and I was in my tiny flat with Ava watching films when I got a text. It was from Kyle. 'Hey, I'm having a halloween party on saturday at my place, do you wanna come? X'. "Oooh who's that from?" teased Ava, I then realised I was smiling at my phone. "Oh it's Kyle, the guy I went for lunch with the other day. He asked if I want to come to his halloween party." I replied. " You are going and you are taking me with you Emma!" Ava exclaimed. "Why so eager?" I laughed. I knew why she wanted to go, it was so she could go to a famous person's party and hopefully meet famous people. "Pleeassee let me come with you Emma, pwetty please?" she asked, making a puppy dog face, trying not to laugh. "Ok, then, but promise me you won't faint if you see any famous people there?" "Pinky Promise." We entwined or pinky fingers together making a 'pinky promise' and then burst out laughing. I texted Kyle back saying 'Yeah I can come, is it alright if my friend Ava comes? X'. He texted back a few minutes later saying, 'Sure, as long as you get dressed up, it is Halloween! ;) X'. Kyle was so funny, and seemed to be constantly filled with excitement and joy.

Saturday night came around quickly, and I realised I didn't have anything to dress up as. I decided to be extremely creative and be a cat. I put ony my black loose- fitted jumper, it was really soft, I love it. I also put on some black skinny jeans and my black high top converse. (I know, a lot of black, but I'm being a black cat so yeah.) I drew whiskers on my face with black eyeliner and out my hair up in  a ponytail. On the way I stopped at a fancy dress shop and bought some cat ears.

I got out of my car and instantly heard music blasting from the top floor of the flats. I took the stairs to the top floor and by the time I got there I was out of breath. I would have took the lift but I have a a big phobia of them, I feel like it's just going to collapse when I go in it. I knocked on the door and an already drunk Kyle greeted me warmly. "Welcome, welcome! Come in Emma! Why aren't you just a lovely little kitty?" he slurred, whilst giving me a hug and patting my head. He took me over to a group of people with his arm around me. "Guys, this is Emma. Emma this Ralph, Ben, Grant, Josh and Josh!" Kyle said. "H- hi..." I tried to speak, but I was slightly starstruck, my favourite band standing right in front of me. Oh. My. God. " Are you ok?" asked Ralph with a concerned look on his face. "Er... y-yeah,it's just I'm a b-big fan" I replied. Oh no I sound like such an idiot. "Ahah well thanks for listening to our music!" Ben chuckled and shook my hand. Someone knocked on the door so I went with Kyle to answer the door to find Ava stood there in a black swing dress and black low top converse, with whiskers drew on her and cat ears. She had also been verry creative and came as a cat. "We're like twins!" I giggled. I introduced her to Kyle and To Kill A King then went get a drink. As I poured my drink I saw Dan sitting on the couch so I went over to see him. "Hi!" I waved to him. "Hi, you having a good time?" he replied. "Well, yeah, I;ve just been pretty starstruck from meeting To Kill A King!" I exclaimed. We laughed together for a while and then I asked him if he was enjoying himself. "Yeah, kinda, well not really, I'm not much of a party person really..." he replied. "Yeah, me either, but Ava said 'we've got to go, there's famous people there!' so here I am..." There was a pretty awkward silence for a few seconds before Dan asked me, "Do you wanna come round to mine tomorrow? I remembered you saying you wrote songs and I was wondering if you could help me out with this new song I'm working on tomorrow, I mean, you don't have to, I was just, wondering, y'know, if you wanted too?" He looked so cute being all awkward, I liked him for that. "Yeah, that'd be cool!" I replied. "Cool" he said, giving me that awkward smile and running his hand through his hair. I looked over to find Ava drunk with Kyle dancing and jumping around, so I left her to it and stayed with Dan for the rest of the night, chatting, laughing and drinking. It was getting late and we were both drunk. Dan went to get another drink and came back and slurred, "Y'know Emma, I really really like youuu." I wasn't sure how to react or what he meant, so I just chuckled and said "Oh really Dan?" He said " Yeahh" and then suuddenly he leaned in and he was kissing me.
