•Claire Johnson•
"You've got a date tonight!" My oh, so incredibly awesome best friend slash flatmate said it like it was her favorite thing to say. And it actually is.
"I'm not going" I groaned. She was trying to set me up. Again. I knew it was hopeless because I was an idiot when it came to love.
"But-"
"I told you already" I snapped at her and glared
"But-"
"Jen-" She put her hand on my mouth to shut me up
"Its with Ed Sheeran"
I wasted no time and started laughing at her practical joke.
"I'm serious" She looked at me with that 'wtf' face
"No kidding" I cracked a smile and took my apple
"Fine then. Don't believe me? I'll make him come to the lobby. I'll call him right now." She took her phone and I seriously thought it was mine. Yeah, we have the same phone. Coinsidence? Yup.
"Pfft. Whatevs. I'm going in my room" I said and started walking to my really awesome room. Well, our room but we don't share the same bed and stuff.
"You'll believe me later!" She yelled before I closed the door.

"Should this be the last thing I see, I want you to know its enough for me, cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need" My speakers just blasted my favorite song too loud that my neighbor almost called the police.
I went to the kitchen to get another apple. Jenna wasn't around. Hmmm. I wonder why. Pfft. Ed Sheeran, Blind date, with me? I swear thats just ridiculous.
I heard my phone ringing. Okaaay, nobody usually calls me. I grabbed my phone and took a bite of my juicy apple. I read the caller ID and it said "TheAwsomeGirl" lol. I swiped the green thingy indicating the recieving of me. I should really change my contact names
"Yellow" I said, taking another bite of my apple
"Green. Tehee. I'm supposed to wait until tonight but you probably wouldn't go without proof. Anyway, come down to the lobby" She said
"If this is the Ed thing again, I'm only coming down so I could prove you wrong" I said as I opened the door and went inside the elevator. Did I mention that I hate elevator music?
I finally arrived at the lobby and went to the mini restaurant at the side. I looked around and saw Jenna coming over to me with the biggest grin on her face.
"You're a liar and I'm going back in my room. Tehee" I said immediately, not spotting a red head around.
"Am I?" She looked behind me and my eyes followed suit. My eyes traveled from the old couple eating on the side to the guy with the red, wait. Orange, no. Its ginger. Just sipping on his coffee. I felt so shocked.
He suddenly turned around, the cutest blue eyed guy I've admired for years look around before opening his mouth saying "Jen, I have to go"
I felt my mouth went wide open but in reality, it stayed closed, my eyes widened in shock because of who was right in front of me. I turned around and took a step back. My eyes darting back and forth from Jenna to the Ginger whom I've admired for years.
"Well, hello love!" He said so happily, almost like he was happy to see me. Me.
"I-- whaa- he-- she- what" I felt like the world just stopped. I was not prepared for this. Jenna was grinning like a child.
"Well you said she was a bit crazy. But I didn't expect this." He told her. I looked at his face. THAT FREAKING FACE.
"She's just shocked. You'll still have your date with her tonight!" She exclaimed. I was freaking out. I stood still. Not being able to believe Ed Sheeran was here.
"Great! I'll see you later love" He walked closer to me, engulfing me in a bear hug. I was still motionless. He waved at us before going out of the door.
"Bye Ed!" Jenna chirped. She looked at me with that 'I told you so' look in her face.
"I must be dreaming" I mumbled before slapping myself really hard on my left cheek. I blinked a bunch of times. Trying to wake up. This is too good to be true.
"I told you" She just dragged me back until we were in our flat.

"No, I don't want that. Thats too girly ew" I threw the pink sparkly shirt away from me.
"You have to atleast look presentable" Jenna continued to search for the 'perfect clothes'
"He saw me wearing my pyjamas" I groaned and layed back on the bed
"Yeah but its your blind date with him"
"It isn't really a blind date anymore. You kinda blew that off earlier"
"But-"
"And besides, you're practically forcing me. Atleast I get to pick what I wear." I said as I grabbed a white shirt with a pandas face on it and some jeans.
"How do you know him anyway?" I asked
"Oh, I met his friend and his friend introduced me and I just told him about you" She said as she opened the door to step out of the room
"Oh"
I put my selected clothes on and my black converse. I know. Converse right? Mainstream.
I found my boo beanie and put it on. I looked at myself in the mirror. I noticed my hair was getting long. I have to get it cut soon.
"Come on, Claire! I asked his friend to walk with you!" I heard Jenna yell
"Seriously? You don't think I can handle myself?" I said as I walked into the kitchen. The front door was wide open, a guy was there, just smiling at me like crazy.
"I'm aleady here, I guess you don't have a choice now do you?" That guy said. Did I mention that the guy was Murray?
