Soon it was the end of the classes, Barry was waiting outside until Eddie came to pick her up. He messaged her a little earlier saying that he might run a little bit late and apologised for not being there on time. She got bored and sat down at one of the benches and took out her favourite book of all the time. The autobiography of Dr. Harrison Wells who happens to be her idol and celebrity crush. As she was reading the book, a shadow fell on the page she was reading and asked "good book"? And she replied without glancing at the shadow "yes it's one of the best book" and peeked at the person who asked the question.
To her surprise and embarrassment, it was none other than Dr. Wells. She could feel blushing and before she could do anything, she heard herself saying "Wow you are my favourite person in the world." Damn it, it is something that she can't say in front of him. Before he could reply to her, she saw Eddie waving at her from his car. She quickly put the book inside her bag and rushed past Dr. Wells to Eddie blushing and wondering what on earth possessed her to say such a thing. Before Eddie could say anything to her, she opened the door and sat down with her face covered by her hands because she knew if she looked at the exact bench she was sitting at she would see Dr. Wells looking at her. Eddie didn't question her until they are out of the university compound once they did, he turned around to her and asked "Barry, what happened to you?" Slowly Barry removed her hands from her face and said in a soft voice "promise me that you won't laugh or make jokes at my expense." "I promise. But, tell me what got you so worked up?" Said Eddie in his most serious voice. "Well, I was waiting for you and got bored and took out Dr. Wells autobiography book was reading it and someone came and asked me whether it's a good book. Naturally, I defended the book and when i sneaked a glance to the stranger it was none other than Dr. Wells. To my horror, I unknowly said to him that he is my favourite person in the world. You promised me that you won't laugh." Said Barry in angry tone. "Sorry Barry, it's funny that you would meet your celebrity crush at the university and say that to him in front of his face. Don't worry, since we are hanging out tonight it will be my responsibility to make you forget about this encounter." Replied Eddie in an amused tone. Soon they started talking about sports and whether Eddie should start dating again. Thankfully, Barry forgot about this encounter at that moment but little did she knew, that she was going to meet him and would be reminded again.
