I'm super excited to meet you!!!
I'm nervous
Why?
What if you don't like me in person?
Come on. Who wouldn't like you? You're funny, sarcastic, blunt, etc
Some of those aren't good qualities, DP
To me they are!
Stop lying.
I'm not
Yes, you are.
No, I'm not
Anyway, what are you wearing?
Why?
So I can find you. Duh
Ohhh yeah. I'm wearing a dark grey hoodie and light jeans. Also, my hair is black
Okay. My hair is blonde and curly. I'm wearing a light grey t-shirt
Nice. No pants?
I would not go out without pants. They are black.
Sweet. I'm going to head over there now since it's getting close to noon
Okay. I'll meet you there soon. I have to . . . finish getting ready
Why aren't you ready yet???? It's eleven thirty!!!
I'm nervous, DP!
You could have just said that and not lie.
I'm sorry. I just . . . I don't want to make a bad impression
Come on. We've been talking for weeks - months even - and you've never made a bad impression
Mhmm. Sure. I had to have made a bad impression on you sometime during these months
Okay, maybe the first day you were a little mean but you grew on me!
See, you didn't like me in the beginning. No one does
Okay, stop your little pity party. You're just nervous. I am too! You're the first person I've really opened up to in years. I really, really want to meet you
You're right. Of course you're right. I'm just overreacting. God, I'm so weird. Now you probably don't want to meet me
You've never acted like this before. How nervous are you?
My hands are sweaty and I kinda feel like I might faint
Woah, woah, calm down. You don't need to be that nervous. I'm just me, LP. You don't need to worry about making a good impression or anything like that. I already like you for you. You should know that
I don't know why I'm so nervous. I just . . . God, I'm so weird you probably don't want to meet me
LP
Yeah?
Listen to me. I still want to meet you, no matter what you do. Dude, you're a Slytherin and I'll still meet you even though you are inherently evil
Hey! Don't insult my Hogwarts house!
There's the LP that I know and love
You love me?
It's just an expression lol
Oh. Duh.
But if you want it to be true, then sure
No, I don't want it to be true. You were rude
Ouch lol. I'm here at Coffee Grounds. Have you left yet?
I took a deep breath, heading towards Coffee Grounds. My heart hammered against my chest at the thought of finally meeting him. I wasn't sure why I was so nervous. It was just one boy who was slightly weird. That was all.
Glancing down at my phone, a smile made its way onto my face. DP had texted me again. My nerves settled down slightly as I read the text. I could do this.
I'm on my way now. You don't need to rush me
I'm sorry, LP. Soooo, where are you?
I'm almost there, DP. You must be excited to see me
Super duper excited. You have no idea
Wow. You might be as excited as I am nervous
Oh yeah. What kind of coffee do you like? I'll buy you a cup since I'm here already
Do they have iced coffees?
Of course they do. Is that what you want?
Yes please. I'll pay you for it when I get there
No, this is on me.
Oh, what a gentleman ❤️
That's how I was raised 😃
I think I might see you
What? Where are you?
I stopped in my tracks when I saw the dark haired boy in the same exact outfit that DP described set his phone down and looked around excitedly. He had the largest smile on his face. Guilt raced through me as I quickly hid behind a garbage can, shaking my head. What was I doing? Why was I meeting a random guy that I may or may not like?
I recognized him. He was the kid who told me I was going to be late. Oh my Lord, he's the one I've been texting this whole time? I gasped when I realized who he really was. Of course! How could I forget? He was Paul's roommate. How couldn't I get it before?
Before I could change my mind, I jumped up and ran away from DP. I couldn't handle this right now.
