Getting Chances (Chandler Riggs Fanfic)

Chapter 10

Finally, It's Thursday. I do the normal morning routine for comic con weekends.

Get up.

Take a shower.

Get dressed.

Get stuff packed (if it wasn't packed already)

Go downstairs from the little upstairs room my dad gave me.

Eat food.

Get in the truck and go to the warehouse.

From there, my dad gets all the boxes of toys that's he wants to bring to the show, we pack it onto the U-haul and go.

We make a couple food and restroom stops along the way, until we get there.

Auburn Alabama. First off, before we go to the hotel, we go to the convention center and set up most of our booth. Once we got that done, it was around 8pm when we got to the hilton and my dad gets 3 key cards, 1 for both of us, then 1 extra in case we lose ours.

Floor 14, room 1423. I wonder what room and floor Chandler and his family will be on... Well, my dad gets the two queen-bed rooms, so I get an entire queen bed to myself, which is pretty amazing, considering my bed at home is just a twin. I get into my pjs, plug my phone in to the charger from the nightstand, and get on Instagram. All my friends are posting pictures together, having a great time , and I'm just here, setting up a booth at a comic con like a nerd. But I'm not really a nerd..I mean, yeah I get good grades and I'm really smart, but I'm popular too... But I'm not the "popular" girl.... I guess it's hard to explain. I have a wide variety of friends I guess. I sigh and decide to text Chandler.

Me: heeyyyyy! When do you think you guys will be here tomorrow?

Chandler: well, we are leaving right after school, and it's about an hours drive, so maybe 5 or 6 tomorrow night (:

Me: oh, okay... Well wizard world won't be done until 8, so if we hang out, it won't be until 9 or so...

Chandler: that's okay with me 😊

Me: me too ☺️ well goodnight chanchan!

Chandler: goodnight PayPay. Sweet dreams.

With that, I set my phone down, and went to sleep.

BEEEP BEEEP BEEEEP

I slapped my arm around and smacked the snooze button. Me and my dad both grunt.

"Do we have to do this whole, 'get up early and get everything else set up then go out to eat' thing, or can we just go, and whatever gets done gets done, then you can go get some McDonalds?" I chuckle while saying it.

"I'm thinking about it." My dad laughed and sat up from the bed.

Before he could get to the bathroom, and jumped up, picked up my American eagle shorts, and the salmon colored marvel long sleeve, and ran to the bathroom before my dad could. I Could hear his muffled voice through the closed door.

"Damnit Pay!"

"Everytime dad! You'd think you'd be more prepared for this!" I shout through the door, laughed, and turned on the shower. I got out and put my hair into a bun, still wet, but I don't care. I put on my my push-up bra, a gray Aeropostale tank, slip on my marvel long sleeve and walk out.

"It's all yours dad." I chuckled and set down my stuff on the bed.

I put on some mascara, a little natural color eyeshadow, then I'm done with my make-up. I guess I should thank my dad for a basically flawless completion. He always makes me wash my face before I go to bed. With the acception of two or three freckles, which sadly won't wash away... I look at my light brown hair, that looks like a dark brown, thanks to the wetness. I decide to leave it in the messy bun, since it actually looks kinda cute with my outfit.

*towards the end of the day*

Of course, Normans here. He goes to almost all of the wizard world cons. He waved to me again earlier, and I got basically the same looks from people in line as I did last time.

I've been texting Chandler all day, just joking around. He's already here, actually right now he said he's back at the hotel, and I just want to spring out of this chair. My skin is just itching to see him, while at the same time my stomach is turning like no other. I feel sick to my stomach, but in a great way. Is this what butterflies are like? More like elephants running and crushing my windpipe. Oh god. This just knowing Chandler is here... What is going to be like when I see him? Or hug him? Oh God, come on Payson, get yourself together.

By the time my dad gets us back to the hotel, I run in, and go straight to the elevator, and got to floor 14. I get to the room and take my hair down from the messy bun. It drops down into these beach curls, and I just slightly brush through it. I put on a little more mascara, then go to find my dad. I got down to the lobby, and walked past the front desk.

"Hello mam. Can I help you with anything?" The clerk lady asked me.

"Oh, no thank you, I'm fine." I smiled while looking at her and kept walking. Of course, I bump into someone, and fall.

"And round two: Chandler - 2, Payson - 0" I hear Chandlers voice and his hand goes out to help me up, like it did the first time this happened.
