I walked down a street in downtown Toronto, after practising for a few hours. The sun was high in the sky, and it was oddly warm for September, close to 70°. I held a couple bags in my hands and I strolled down the street, catching up with Josh who was done his business.

It was my first time in Canada and I was surprised to how much bigger the city was compared to Boise. I pushed past people, holding my bags in front of  my body.

I walked into a McDonalds, my stomach rumbling. I hadn't eaten all day, and it was nearing three in the afternoon. The line was long, five or six people. I stood in the line, just wanting a BigMac and a coffee. I was going to need my caffeine for my second concert, I barely slept a wink.

"Hey, Doubt!" I turned my head back, and saw a girl behind me, wearing. a Twenty One Pilots shirt. I smiled and she pulled out her phone.

Her short blonde hair was in her face as she smiled nervously, "Can I get a photo? An autograph too?" I smiled and nodded, not ever experiencing this before.

"Uh, yeah! I'll do it on the back of my receipt, just give me a sec to order." I laughed and the fan looked so relieved. her whole body released its tension as she stood near the pop fountain.

I ordered at one of the open tills, and got a small drink for the girl, and a small fry if she wanted it. I held my pen that I grabbed from my purse. I always kept a pen with me, in case anything like this ever happened. I always wanted to do my autograph on a napkin since it seemed so cool. even getting asked for an autograph was an awesome feeling to get. She pulled out her phone and we took the photo and I leaned against the counter.

"So, Twenty One Pilots, huh?" I asked the girl and she seemed startled that I was talking to her. She smiled and laughed, nervously.

"Y-yeah. I've only liked them for a little while, though, only since May. I'm sad I didn't find about them sooner, they're pretty good." She mumbled and I nodded in agreement. Her blue eyes were looking around the McDonalds, and I pulled out my phone, going to text Josh.

Hayden: found a loyal fan of urs. she's rlly nervous, poor thing.

I put my phone back and exhaled as my number was called. The girls face instantly lit up as I went to get my tray. She followed behind me and she looked like she wanted to jump out of her skin. I placed the cup in front of her and she looked at me in disbelief. I sat down, plucking the receipt from under

"Oh, you didn't have to, Hayden, thank you." She stammered, as I signed the back of the receipt in my loopy signature. I looked up at her and rolled my eyes, smirking.

"I wanted to commemorate this moment, you're the first person to ask me for a photo." I laughed and the girl smiled as she slid down into the booth across from me. I turned the fries toward her, smiling. She took one and ate it slowly, like she was embarrassed. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I pulled it out. 

Josh: really? if tyler and I are close, we can meet her, we are still at the venue

I smiled and typed quickly, my eyes not leaving her face. She got up with her drink and walked toward the fountain, filling her drink with some drink.

Hayden: mcdonalds, somewhere near the venue, a block or 2 away.

She sat back down, and I opened my cheeseburger and took a bite out of it. About five minutes later, Josh and Tyler walked into the McDonalds. They scanned their eyes across the restaurant and found me sitting with the girl.

I smiled largely, "Hey, look." I tapped her hand as she took another fry. I pointed towards Josh and Tyler and she gasped, and covered her mouth.

"Oh my god, you are amazing. Thank you so much, Doubt." She got out of the booth and hugged my shoulders as she walked towards the two men and took a photo with them.
