"C'mon let's go get food." I said exiting the apartment walking backwards watching my best friend put her shoes on.

I felt my back hit another person, turning around to quickly apologize.

"I'm so sorry, I should have been watching where I was going." I sputtered out. I hated being an inconvenience to anyone.

A boy with dark skin and a pretty smile held my shoulders to steady me. "It's okay, really."

"Are you sure? I mean I did literally fall into you."

"I'm positive. Do I know you? You look quite familiar." He speculated.

"My best friend has YouTube? Maybe you recognize me from her vlogs?" At this statement, Annie exited our flat.

"Annie?" The boy questioned.

"Yeah. That's me." She did some little finger guns and smiled.

"I'm Tobi, I do YouTube as well." He smiled and held his hand out to her.

She shook his hand, nodding. "I recognize you. You do FIFA don't you?" My head shot up and they both looked at me.

"Uh sorry, love football." I said a bit awkwardly.

"Hey me too!" He exclaimed.

"What team do you support?" I quickly engaged in conversation about the beautiful game.

"Man United, you?" I nodded, "Chelsea." I said.

"You don't know what you've started here Tobi. She will start, and never stop." Annie said. I smacked her arm and she mocked looking offended.

"Oh please, like you should be offended."

"You lot are crazy. Good crazy though. I know some people that would love you guys. You especially." He pointed to me as he said this.

"Me? Why me?"

"Yeah why her she's such a little sh-" I slapped her arm again, not wanting to know where else that statement was going.

"Yes, you-" I suddenly realized I never told him my name.

"Rose."

"Right. Rose. All of my friends happen to be avid football fans as well. We'll have to all get together for dinner sometime." He said.

"Sounds great." We exchanged a quick smile and Annie grabbed her phone from her pocket.

"Well we really must get going, but what's your Twitter? We can dm each other sometime for further details about this dinner." Classic Annie, always getting to the point.

"Sure thing. I'll see you two later." He said after we all followed each other on twitter.

"Bye Tobi!" Annie and I walked to the elevator and he walked down the hall to what I presumed to be his flat.

"He's nice." I said as we pressed the button for the ground floor.

"Yeah most people are."
