On the plane I watched some generic movie about teenagers with actors that were not teenagers, spoiler alert, the boy gets the girl. Then I decided to reread The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. By the time I got there I was getting the pre-VidCon jitters. I was nervous to meet Christian, nervous that he wouldn’t like me or he would think I was weird.
Hank was waiting by baggage claim of LAX with a sign that read “Desire and Cassie, welcome to VidCon!” Right then and there I could tell this weekend would be great. We grabbed our bags and Hank offered to carry them. We thanked him and went to his car where we got to meet his wife Katherine. She was so cool and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met! They took us to the hotel and helped us check in. We were in room 647 and it had a beautiful view!
We got there a few days before it actually started so we decided to be tourists for a bit. It was so fun and everyone in California is so gorgeous! They’re all so fit!
I decided to get on twitter to see if Christian had replied to my message. We were trying to decide when and where to meet up. He said that he and Danny would meet us here at the hotel in a few hours. He said “Hey, how about you give me your number and I’ll text you when I get here and we’ll all meet downstairs, does that work for you?” I let out a bit of a scream, Des came over and asked “What the heck just happened?! Are you okay?? Did anyone get murdered?!?” I just smiled and said “No, everything is okay. Just read this!!” She grinned and said “Well? Get to it!”
I gave him my number and we texted for three hours until he said they were pulling up to the hotel and they would be there in 10 minutes. I squealed “Does my hair look okay?! Do I need to put on some more makeup?! Should I change clothes?” She cut me off and said “Let’s just go! You look fine!”
We got into the elevator and hit the first floor button. When we got to the lobby Chris texted me to say they would be a few more minutes because they couldn’t find a spot to park. I texted back “Okay, see you then!”
They finally got here and they walked over to where we were sitting in the large lobby. I got up and was about to introduce myself but he said “Hey, you must be Cassie! It’s so nice to finally meet you!” Danny walked over to Des at the same time and asked what her name was. “I-I’m Desire but you can call me Des.” she stuttered. He said “I’m Danny, nice to meet you!” with a genuine smile.
Chris and Danny were sharing a room so they went to go check in and by the time they were done and had put their things in their room, which was on the same floor as ours, it was almost supper time. They asked us if we wanted to join them for supper. We said we would be honored and Chris told me to text him when we were ready to go.
I texted him half an hour later and he asked “Where do you girls want to go?” We all decided on Panera. “Dinner is on me tonight.” Chris said. We all protested but he insisted. “My treat” he said.
After supper Chris drove us back to the hotel. I was in the front with Chris and Danny was with Des in the back. They were really hitting it off. We all decided to go back to their room and talk. After an hour or so Chris asked me if I wanted him to show me around a bit. I said “yeah, that’d be fun!” and we went down to the lobby.
