As a lot of people ask for a part 2 of dying inside to hold you I will do one but please give me some ideas 😊

Anyway this one was requested by Unnown96 and this is prompt 7 (oh, dear diary, I met a boy he made my dull heart light up with joy. This is an extract of bubblegum bitch by Marina & the diamonds)

Every year there was this big carnival that moved to your town for the beginning of the summer. It was a pretty important event in your city since everybody used to go there to have fun. Plus everyday a local band would entertain people. It was a great opportunity for them to become famous in your town and its surroundings and to hopefully find a music producer. You loved going there for multiples reasons: the atmosphere, the rides, the music and the food. You used to hang there with your friends after school. Since you were in college you thought that you wouldn't be back for the carnival this year but luckily you managed to get some time to go there with your closest friends for an afternoon and a night. No need to say that you were as excited as a little child.

You drove to your home town, XXXtentacion was blasting in your car. You laughed at your friends' failed attempt to rap the lyrics all along. This was going to be a wonderful day, you were sure of that. You parked your car at your parents' house and had a lunch with them. your mum being your mum had cooked a ton of things: caprese salad with avocado and grilled peach, hummus, falafels, some crispy paprika chicken, grilled vegetables such as eggplants and Greek yogurt with berries. This was so good and so refreshing at the same time, your mum was such a good cook, you wished you had her skills because you meals in college would be better. Your parents asked your friends about their current life and what they were planning to do once they graduated. The atmosphere was chill and funny.

Your parents eventually dropped you and your friends at the carnival and said that they would pick you up if you needed to but told them that you would walk after all the carnival was one miles way from your home. It wasn't very far and you would not disturbed your parents because you would probably left the carnival late and then immediately drove back to your college. As soon as you entered in the carnival you were a child again. Running everywhere, laughing a lot, enjoying every single ride. You were eating a cotton candy when you saw the photobooth and you grinned. Your friends giggled perfectly knowing what that smile meant. Since you were a baby you would take pictures of you with your family and/or friends during the carnival in a photobooth.

As you entered in the photobooth you noticed that someone had forgotten its strip of photos. You frowned a bit, who would go there and pay to take pictures and then forget them, it was a non-sense. You took your photos with your friends, you were all smiling, making silly faces, posing... you grabbed the strip of your photos and unintentionally took the strip of the stranger. You didn't realize it until Riley asked you to show her the strip. You gave it to her and kept the other in your hand. You decided to give it back to its owner. So you looked the stranger on the picture. He seemed to be about your age, he was rather cute but on the pictures, he looked like he was deeply morose. His pose was unchanging and you wondered why he decided to get some photos at the carnival if he was so sad on them.

You looked at him everywhere in the crowd, but you didn't find him. you were a bit disappointed but you decided to enjoy the rest of the day. You were in the Ferris Wheel and astonished by the beauty of the landscape when you spotted the guy of the picture next to the black taco food truck. Your friends giggled at your sudden grin and excitement, you were like a child who had found his Christmas gifts. As soon as you left the ride you practically ran to the truck and your smile grew wider when you noticed that the guy was still there eating. You walked to him with a decided look and he turned to face you. he seemed a bit afraid and that was comprehensible since you looked a bit mad. You stood in front of him and finally said really quickly "Sorry to disturb you but I was looking for you" He frowned and seemed even more scared by you "I found a strip of photos of you in the photobooth and I wanted to give it back to you". You flushed when he looked at you in the eyes and smiled when he understood why you were there. After few seconds of silence you realized that you still hadn't given his photos back. You looked for it in your bag and your eyes grew wide when you didn't find them. you looked for it several times in your back and you guessed that you had lost it in a ride.

"I'm so sorry I think I've lost them. sorry I'm so stupid." You apologized awkwardly.

He smiled gently at you and answered "Don't worry I'm the stupid one to have forgotten them. I'm Tom by the way"

"Y/N, can I ask you something" you replied and he nodded. "Why are you so morose and serious on the photos it's a carnival don't you have fun?"

He laughed at your question and you didn't dare to look at him. He simply said nicely "I need to have serious photos for my new international passport and I didn't find any photobooth in the town so I went there to get some. But actually as I don't know anybody in this town I didn't really enjoy the carnival and have fun."

"But now you know me! you can spend the rest of the day with me and my friend if you want I mean it's not an obligation" you were even more red as you realized what you had said.

He gladly smiled at you and stated "Yeah with pleasure".

Then he followed you to join your friend. You spent the afternoon and the evening together. He was so sweet and funny and you were pretty annoyed to have to go back to college without him knowing that you would probably never see him again.

As soon as you were in your dorm room you unlock your diary grabbed your favorite pen and wrote "This is late night so I will just write few words tonight because I am tired but oh dear diary this day was so wonderful. oh, dear diary, I met a boy he made my dull heart light up with joy. Oh I hope so much that he will find a way to contact me!!!! I will tell you everything in the next few days but now goodnight dear diary."

You put your PJs on and went to sleep. You had an amazing dream about you and Tom and at the morning you wished it would be true soon. During the breakfast as you were scrolling through your Facebook account you noticed a new invitation and all your friends guessed that it was from Tom when they saw your wide grin.
