Jazmin Shah

Alia's POV

"Jaz!! Do you know who that was? That was Tom! That. Was. Tom! I was talking to him!!"

My expression is literally "!!!!!"

-" WHAT? Holland? Tom Holland? Tell me you got an autograph atleast."

Jazmin Shah - My sister
Nickname: Jaz. Age: 24.
Job Status: Employed
Job Description: Nurse at Starlight Children's Hospital.
Relationship Status: Single

Jazmin's still studying though- Part time. She's always been hard working and level headed. By far, a great role model- not that I would admit that Infront of her and boost her ego. Hopeless romantic. Loves 'love'. Very reserved with her real feelings though. Doesn't want a relationship... yet. I don't really know what's holding her back. Okay, back to reality...

"Welllllllll......" Jazmin looks at me weird. Then she puts one hand on her forehead.
-" What did you do, Alia?" She sends me an I-hope-you-didn't-do-something-stupid look.

"I- uh- I played it cool" I shrugged, quite proud of myself, but she groaned, while rolling her eyes, not believing a single word coming out my mouth.
"It worked, though, because he asked me for my name!"
-" And did you tell him?"

There's a silence.

"...No..."
-" ALIA!" She scolded me and then groaned again. -"There really is something wrong with you. That was your chance, Lia. Who knows if you'll ever see him again?"

She's right. That was a chance of a life time.

A little background info:
I've been purely, utterly, entirely infatuated with Tom Holland for 4 years, ever since Spider-Man: Homecoming. I've had posters, props, hell my entire gallery was him. And I love MARVEL, and that's what makes him even better. Being part of the MCU, staring alongside Robert Downey! What a dream.

But ever since we've moved here- to London- last year, I've had no time to be 'involved' as much- with both Thomas and MARVEL.
It sounds so cringy, I know, but I loved Tom so so much. He's the person that I cared for the most, even though he didn't even know who I was! And my friends kept reminding me about that- to which I always said "Shut up!" and then they'd tease me and laugh it off- But I really did like him a lot.
If he was having a good day, so was I. And if he wasn't? Yup, you guessed it, I was in a bad mood also. I remember the time he went to the dentist to take out his wisdoms again- I went to school and was worried sick the whole day until I came back home and checked his Instagram story, saying that the procedure went well. I was a weird teenager.
Well... Still am.
Not the point.
Anyway.

But I still like him. I've still watched all his movies whenever I got the chance.
He still comes up on my feed on Instagram, he's still a topic on my Newsfeed, and he's still a Recommended for you on YouTube. It's just not the same. I have a part-time job, I'm studying, I'm living in a new environment where everything's so different and moving so fast.
I have no time to even... Breathe...

But I should've at least taken a photo with him. It was TOM HOLLAND for God's sakes. Instead I acted like I didn't even care! I didn't take the chance to congratulate him on how well he's doing. How far he's come. Explain how proud I am of him.

Oh God.

What have I done?
Scratch that.
