Stepping out of the elevator in the garage, I looked towards my car when some thing bright caught my eye. I looked over and caught my breath. There sat the yellow Aston Martin I thought I never would ever see. I slowly walk over towards it. Scared he might still be in it, I paused just behind it. I resisted the urge to touch it, like the paint on it would become tarnished if my unworthy hands touched it. I dreamed of sitting behind the wheel of this car, grasping the steering wheel, with him in the passenger seat, showing me where everything was and not listening to him, just stomping on that gas pedal and shooting forward. I shook the thoughts from my head and made my way towards Sarah's van to get the last box

I grabbed it and closed the trunk. I walked back over to the elevator and hot back in and hit the floor I lived on. I started to think about how cool it would be to meet him and go on dates, and most of all, driving that beautiful beast downstairs. The elevator ding to my floor as if it spear to the top. I got off, looking down, still thinking about him when I hit something with the box. I dropped it in surprise. I looked up to see who I hit and completely forgot how to breathe.

"Sorry, I guess I should look where I'm going." he said looking straight at me. I still couldn't believe I was seeing this guy twice in one day. Let alone still trying to get over the fact that he was talking to me.

"I'm Sawyer Hartman," he said as if I didn't already know,"and you are?" he asked. I couldn't seem to stop liking at his eyes. They were so beautiful, the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life. They were a unforgettable blue, not like the sky or the ocean. They looked like they were painted and mixed perfectly on a canvas. I let out a squeak, hoping it wasn't heard. I closed my eyes and shook my head. Trying to remember how to speak, I said the first thing that popped in my head.

"Hi, yeah, sorry,I guess I should have been looking where I'm going. Sorry off I hurt you. I'm Brooklynn. I wiped my hand on my shorts because they had become terribly sweaty just looking at him. I held it out and to my surprise, he took it. His hand fit in my like it was made just for me. It was softer than any hand I had ever held, even Connor. I looked up at him, still shaking his hand because I didn't want to let go. What seemed like after forever, I felt the weight of the box on my foot. I let go, bending over to pick it up. I seemed to be my type of thing today,dropping boxes or making others drop them.

"That's my favorite number." he suddenly said. Confused, I looked up at him

"19, its my favorite number." I smiled,he said it like I didn't already know. Then I remembered, he didn't.

"My birthday is on the 19th." I replied."September, actually."At that moment, the elevator ding and we both looked over. To my surprise, Joey Graceffa stepped out and looked at me. Then he turned his gaze towards Sawyer and smiled.

"Hey Sawyer, didn't you leave Tyler's a while ago?" he asked. I put two and two together. Tyler. Must have been Tyler Oakley.

"Yeah, I did, but I stopped by Whole Foods to get some things. I was going back to my car to get my phone when I bumped into Brooklynn here." motioning towards me.

"I was wondering when you were going to introduce us." Joey said as he reached out his hand." I'm Joey." he said as if I didn't have a roommate who was totally in love with him.

"I'm Brooklynn." I said shaking his hand, but not as long as I shook Sawyer's, wanting to keep his touch forever." I've seen a ton of your videos. Its what made me want to be a YouTuber as well." I said.

"Well, maybe we should do a video together. I'll give you my number so we can come up with some plans. We traded numbers and I added.

"Don't forget to give it to Sawyer here, when he goes to get his phone." I said with a slight giggle. I never forget my phone." I'll see you guys later." I said heading back to my apartment, reminiscing about the way Sawyer and I met. Morgan walked past me as I entered the apartment, sitting the box down.

"I'm gonna get my charger out of my car." she said over her shoulder. All of a sudden, I head a ear piercing scream as if Morgan was getting mugged. I ran out of the apartment and saw Sawyer at the end of the hall, bent over laughing. In between both of us, stood a scared Joey and a fangirling Morgan.

"Joey?! Is that you?! OH MY GOSH, ITS JOEYGRACEFFA!!!!"She then yelled something so unintelligible, it was driving me crazy. I saw Joey crack a smile as he watched her fangirl. I finally had enough. It was our first day here and this time she was the embarrassing one.

"Morgan!!", I yelled," Calm down. He's a normal person."Turning towards Joey, I apologized as I attempted to pull my roommate back into our apartment. He just laughed and entered his apartment. I watch Sawyer, still laughing, walking back towards the elevator. Shaking my head, I pulled my roommate and best friend, back into our apartment and closed the door.
