Holly's birthday is on the 17th so I'm back... oh and mine is on the 20th haha
_____

I walk back to where Charlie and I were sitting but he wasn't sitting where we were.

I get confused to where he was for a second but I spot him on the other end of the isle steps, hanging with a group of people.

is the match over?

I walk around and head to him, he looks at me

"The Lakers won!" he cheers

Don't care. But was I gone for that long?

I give him a gesture of excitement, trying to show that I care.

Let's be honest. I don't want to here anymore. I don't know who the hell these people were, well some of them look familiar- from Instagram i'm guessing .

"hi Holly-May! Nice to finally meet you!"

i look to see a really pretty girl giving me a wide smile.

"Oh hello." i chuckle with a small wave, being shy as usual.

"I'm Charlotte, i've heard so much about you!"

Charlotte!

"Charlotte? My best friends name is Charlotte," I reply with a laugh.

"seriously? same! my best friend is Charlotte too." She laughs and turns around looking for her

"oh my god, that's so funny. "

"who is she? do i know her?"

"ohh, no you don't, her name's Charlotte Mair, she's been my best friend since like forever." I tell her

"ohh, yeah so i'm guessing your Charlotte is not famous so, no one probably knows her," she laughs

okay okurr? why does that even matter lol

"i'm charlotte d'alessio"

i nod when she tells me her name and i look towards Charlie who is zoomed in a conversation with someone.

I just want to go home

"hey Charlie, come with me to go buy a drink?" I ask him

"Can you go? I'm just catching up quickly." he says, not even introducing me to the girl, then carries on talking to her.

I sigh and walk away from him and away from everyone, walking up the stairs

"Whyyyy why whyyy, did I do this to myself." I whisper to myself taking out my phone checking the time

22:54

"Bipolar Bieber: I'm sorry Holly"

I sigh and exit the arena heading to the food courts

What should I get?

What drink?

Nah actually let me get a snack.

I head to a food tent, with varieties of snack and sweets that was being sold because of the game

A boys back was facing me so I say hello to get his attention

he doesn't reply

"Um hellooo." I say tapping his back

He turns around once I had tapped him and then looks at me in shock, quickly snatching the headphones out of his ears, his phone slips out of his hands making him hesitate and try to catch it, he manages but fails to balance himself making things fall on the floor.

"Oh shit." He says after his flop, he looks at me embarrassed and puts his hand on his head, "I'm sorry, I just-" he apologizes picking up the things he had dropped.

I look at him, acknowledging his appearance. He was not bad. Dark brown hair, pretty sharp jaw line.

I stand there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

Do I help him?

"Are you okay? Do you, need help?" I offer

"No um, I'm fine." He says picking up the rest of the things he had dropped, putting them back to their original place, "I'm sorry, it's just that, you surprised me." He laughs

I raise an eyebrow, "how could I have possibly surprised you?"

"You're Holly-May right? Hamilton."

Agh, "yeah." I say awkwardly

"Yeah that's why. It's just, you're way prettier in real life."

Is that a compliment?

"Um thanks...Can I have Doritos? Sweet chili please."

"Sure," He nods and then grabs them putting the bag of chips on the counter, "1 dollar 69."

I nod grabbing the scrunched up 5 dollars in my back pocket.

"what's your name?" I ask, so we can be even with names

"Oh, I'm Grayson." He looks up after counting my change

"Grayson," I nod taking my change, "Thanks Grayson. See you around I guess." I say, knowing I won't.

He only smiles and carries fixing his little shop.

Grayson is a really nice name.

I go back to Charlie seeing he's still talking to his 'friends'

I stay seated waiting for a while until he realizes it's getting pretty late so he finishes up after, heading to me.

I'm gonna be off with him.

I, am irritated. And bored.

"How'd you like the game?" He says putting his arm over my shoulder as we head out of the arena to head to the parking lot.

I only shrug and stuff some Doritos in my mouth. He grabs some from time to time.

He stops for a second making me stop too. Since we were trying to cross a road to get to the car so we had to wait for a while til the cars could clear up.

He looks at me, "I missed this."

Well obviously you didn't you've been with your friends all night

I smile and agree

He firsts kisses my cheek making me flinch a little

I push him away before he made me do something I wouldn't want to do.....
