The airplane began to shake before landing with a jolt. Everyone left out a cheer after the eleven hour flight. Fuck that was exhausting. I looked over at my best friend Hannah, she was still fast asleep, head lying against the window. I called her name quietly, trying not to disturb anyone else on the flight.
"Hannah! Hannah!" she wasn't answering "For fuck sake wake up Hannah!" I clasped my hands over my mouth after I heard what I'd said parents and young children looked in my direction in horror. I heard a man chuckling to themselves a few rows up. Could they hear it up that far? Fuck!
"Sorry!" I apologised with an awkward smile, at least Hannah was awake now.
"Smooth Sophie" I just looked at her and shook my head I heard the same laugh again and I saw a tall lanky guy shake his head and walk off the plane.
"Come on let's go." Hannah pulled me along out the back door of the plane in the opposite direction of the laughing boy with the cute hair.I still couldn't believe we were here. Me and my best friend had just moved to L.A. We stood in L.A.X. waiting for our bags. Why were'n't our bags here yet? I sat on the bag trolley while Hannah stood looking for our bags. How amazing was this? I just graduated school in Ireland and now we were here in L.A. setting up a new life with my best friend.
"Here." Hannah said rolling over our bags she put one of mine and her two on the trolley and pushed it while I pulled my other one behind me. We both talked about how tired yet excited we were right now. My dad had organised everything, he got us an apartment with cheap enough rent that he promised to pay until we both got decent jobs and could afford it ourselves, got a taxi to bring us to our new apartment and was having the rest of our belongings shipped out within the next two weeks. Things were looking up for us for once in our lives.We nearly made it through the long tunnel out of the bag collection when I heard someone running behind us calling for us to stop. I looked around. Oh my fuck was that?
"Hi, I think you may have accidentally taken the wrong bag!" a cute guy with golden brown and dark brown eyes was smiling at me. Oh my God it was Alex Gaskarth. Alex from All Time Low Alex. Alex fucking Gaskarth was standing on front of me, telling me I'd stolen his bag. Fuck.
"Oh my God I'm so so sorry! We had a really long flight and I was exhausted and I didn't even...." I started to panic with my favourite singer standing physically on front of me.
"Haha don't worry, it's totally cool! We have the same bag, it was bound to happen." We both laughed awkwardly and I threw a back-glance to Hannah who's jaw was almost on the floor.
"Oh I'm Alex by the way!" he grinned and held out his hand to me.
"I know who you are," I mirrored his smile "I'm Sophie." I shook his hand.
"Sophie," he whispered to himself before saying, "that's a really pretty name suited for a really pretty girl" he winked and me and I went completely red. It was cheesy but adorable. I stood there like an idiot for two minutes at least before a tall lanky guy with cute black hair walked towards us. It was Jack. Oh my God I must be dreaming.
"Hey dude you got your bag back! Look it's swearing girl! You legend, you're right she is cute." Jack winked at Alex. Alex glared back at him.
"So umm maybe you'd like to go out some night soon? If you want only and if you're in the area. But it's totally cool if you don't...". Awwh, he seemed nervous.
"Yeah of course, that sounds awesome!" I smiled at him and his face relaxed and he smiled at me and handed me his phone for me to put my number in.
"Sophie." He smiled and started walking away towards Jack.
"Bye Sophie!" Jack called "and...other girl. Hannah you were shouting! Right?" I giggled as they walked away and stared at them until they were out of sight. I turned to Hannah and just stared at her, seemed like all I could do. She squealed and ran into my arms as we hugged and fangirled. Who knew L.A. would be this amazing already.
