Bold

Chapter Three

We pull up to Chipotle, and walk in. "What can I get for ya today?", the man at the counter asks.

"I'll have a burrito bowl, with rice, both beans, chicken, veggies, and everything else. And a tortilla on the side, please", I say. I get practically everything, per the usual.

Denise orders. We pay and find a seat. When we sit down my eyes meet a familiar face. I immediately blush. "Oh my goodness, Denise!", I exclaim.

"What?!", she asks.

"It's that cute boy that I ran into, in the hotel hallway last night", I reply.

"Are you serious?! You have to go talk to him! It's like fate, or something", she squeals.

"Denise, no!", I exclaim.

"C'mon Jordan! Just walk up to him, and start a conversation. Be bold! You're 18 now! You've never dated, and never even been kissed!", she replies.

"But we're just here to have fun and see the 1D concert tomorrow", I add.

"Exactly, fun!!! You don't even have to say much, just at least say hi", Denise prods.

"Okay. Fine", I proclaim.

"Have fun!", she says just a little too loudly.

I nervously walk over to the table. There's three guys, including him, and two girls. Good! It looks like he's a fifth wheel. That at least makes this a little less embarrassing. It's getting really hot in here! Holy cow! My face must be redder than a tomato! Okay, here goes nothing. "Hi", I say.

"Hi", he replies. His face lights up. He must remember me. I don't know if that's good, or bad. "You're the one I bumped into last night!", he replies.

Great! I'm sure he remembers it very well! What was I thinking? "Yeah... ", I start.

"So what are you in town for?", he asks.

"My friend, Denise, and I are here for the One Direction concert tomorrow", I reply.

"What are the odds? So are we!", he exclaims. "I'm Barry, by the way. What's your name?"

"I'm Jordan", I proclaim.

"Nice to meet you!", one of the girls shouts. She has long blonde hair, and is oddly broad. "Where are your seats at the concert tomorrow?"

"We've got front row seats", I reply.

"No way! So do we!", she squeals. She looks at Barry.

"Oh, sorry. This is Lily", he points to the blonde girl. "This is Luke", he says, pointing to a brown haired boy with really hairy arms next to her. "This is Zoey", he continues, pointing to a girl with long black hair wearing a revealing top. "And this is Nathan", he finishes, pointing to a red haired boy with green eyes. Man, he looks like a leprechaun.

"Nice to meet you all", I say. I turn around and wave Denise over. "This is Denise. Denise, this is Barry, Lily, Luke, Zoey, and Nathan."

"Hi. Nice to meet you all", she says so confidently. Is she never nervous?

"So, we'll see you guys at the concert tomorrow?", Nathan asks.

"Yeah. We've both got front row seats", I say to Denise.

"Wow! So, we're staying in the same hotel, eating at Chipotle, and sitting by eachother at the concert tomorrow?! What a coincidence!", she replies.

"I know, right?", I shriek. Barry smiles at me. I blush.

"Well, we've gotta go", declares Lily.

"Yeah. See ya tomorrow! And maybe at the hotel again", Barry exclaims. I see his smirk grow.
