As soon as I walked into the venue for the meetup, I was shaking. Even though I knew it would be pretty chill, I was nervous to talk to them. My friend Bekah trailed behind me, putting my hand behind my back for her to grab. I make my way through all the sweaty, screaming girls already in the venue. I look back at Bekah and laugh at her expression,
"I'm glad I dragged you into this," I giggle at her. She rolls her eye, "Yeah, yeah, just not used to girls screaming in my ear everywhere I walk," I shrug.
We make our way to the back and show the big man, who I presume is a bodyguard, our limelight pass. He moves out of the way and tells us instructions on the meet, just the usual. We get in a little line waiting for the boys to come out and get ready.
"I've never been so nervous and excited in my life," I run my shaky hands through my hair. "Girl, it's going to be fine; I already know Zach will love you," she yells, emphasizing love. I smack her arm and laugh, "Yeah, as if that'd ever happen."
We have been standing in the line for around twenty minutes, getting very antsy now. I think of all the different scenarios in my head. Number one, I walk up and embarrass myself by acting like an insane fangirl. Number two, I'm too shy even to say anything. Knowing myself, I'm betting on number two.
My eyes dart up from my phone after hearing screams in-front of us, so I can see what the commotion is. I recognize the tall blonde haired boy, accompanied by the shorter brunette boy with a cute smile. I slap my hand over my mouth and tap Bekah repeatedly.
"Look, look, there he is!" I say, my hand silencing my words, "I see; now stop hitting me; it's starting to hurt." Bekah laughs at me
"I'm about to meet Zach Herron; how do I look?" I ask her, "How's my breath?"
"Em, you look great stop stressing," she pats my back and turns me around, noticing the little line is gone, and we are the only ones still standing here.
I slowly walk into the room, seeing everyone mingling with the boys, few screams here and there but not too bad. I look for a place I can go to meet one of the boys since Bekah left me to do her own thing. I decide to go up to Jonah first. I wait my turn to talk to him, awkwardly standing there, but finally, the girl in front of me move on, and I walk up to him.
"Hi! Cute girl," Jonah says with a huge smile. I laugh, getting caught off guard, "We just met, and I'm already a cute girl." I answer, "What? If I see a cute girl, I just have to tell her," He shrugs, "Anyways, what's your name, cute girl?" he asks, "ember." I respond, catching another band member walking up to me from the corner of my eye. Someone wraps their arms around me from the back, startling me.
