Chapter One
"Monroe, you need to stop." I told
myself as I clicked another one of Dan
Howell's videos. I was having a little
"marathon" of his videos.
I heard a knock at my bedroom door.
"Yes?" I called out.
"Monroe, dinner's ready." My father
called out.
"Coming." I said and turned my iMac
off. I walked down the hallway and into
the kitchen. Dad had cooked my
favorite, Spongebob shaped macaroni.
I scooped some of the yellow noodles
in a bowl and sat in my normal seat at
the table.
When I finished super, I washed my
dish and put on my Converses. I put
my jacket on as well.
"Dad, I'm going out."
"Where to?" He asked me.
"I gotta get my prescription."
"Okay." He said as I walked out the
door.
My shoes hit the pavement. It was
sprinkling a little, so I put my hood up.
I put my earbuds in and let Paramore's
"Only Exception" play on repeat. Little
raindrops fell on my black skinny
jeans.
As I was looking down at my phone,
someone bumped into me.
"I'm so sorry!" A guy said.
"It's fine!" I looked up and saw dark
skinny jeans and brown fringe. I didn't
even need to look at his face to know
who it was.
"Are you Dan? Dan Howell?" I asked.
"Yes I am. And you are?..." He smiled.
"Jade Parker, but everyone calls me by
my middle name, Monroe." I told him.
"Well, nice to meet you Monroe." He
grinned and his dimples showed.
"Can I take a picture?" I asked.
"Of course!"
I turned my iPhone's camera to the
front and Dan bent down beside me.
He kissed my cheek and I smiled and
took the picture. I posted it to Twitter.
"What's your Twitter username?" He
asked me and I told him.
He got on his phone, followed me on
twitter, and retweeted the picture. His
fans were already talking about it. It's
not everyday Dan posts a picture of
kissing a random girl on the cheek to
twitter.
"Where are you headed?" He asked me.
"Down to the drugstore just a couple
blocks away." I pointed to the
direction.
"Mind if I tag along?" He asked me.
"I don't mind at all!" I told him.
