karl sits at the table with his two room mates, he stayed uninvolved in their conversation and uninterested anyways, "karl?" he looked at his room mate, "yeah?" his room mates exchanged weird glances, "we've been saying your name for the past minute dude." karl's eyes widened, "yeah whats up with you?" karl took a second to think about how to reply, he can't just tell them he saw a pretty girl and now he can't get the girl out of his head. "sorry i zoned out, i'm kinda tired." he nodded, "okay maybe you should go lay down then or something." he smiled and nodded at his room mates before getting up and walking to his room.

he let himself fall backwards onto his bed, for the last two days all thats been on his mind was the girl. the girl with flowing black soft looking hair and sweet dark eyes that were like none other he'd ever stared into. he didn't even get her name, he saw the name tag but it slipped his mind. as much as he hated it all he wanted to do was hear her voice again. there was just something about her that intrigued him, something different. maybe it was her aura, the vibe she gave off, her eyes, her in general. whatever it was that was taking up all the space in his mind 24/7, keeping him awake at night, he hated it. he tried his hardest to push the thoughts of her to the back of his mind but it was almost impossible. it was like trying to push an empty water bottle under water, it keeps floating back to the surface, and thats where they stayed, the thoughts of the girl stayed at the surface of his mind.

as for the girl, she sat on the couch at her family's house. "dove!" her little sister cassie ran into the room, almost slipping as her sock covered feet ran across the slippery hardwood. "whats up?" her sister practically shoved her small phone in dove's face. what showed on the phone made dove's eyes go wide as she grabbed the phone and the clip played.

it was the cute boy from the shop a few days ago, the one that made her blush in the first few minutes she met him. the one she thought she'd never see again. he was talking about a girl he met, a girl that shared the exact words she shared with him. her heart melted when he giggled and said that she was cute. though the next few words made her jaw drop, "i spelt the candle i was like, oh its okay. but i told her it was my favorite now too because she was cute." her sister watched this and started squealing, "it's you! i knew it i knew it!!" dove looked at her sister, "did he just diss my taste in candles?" her sister grabbed the phone from her. "i just knew it! i knew thats your favorite candle and you were working that day, the karl jacobs has a thing for my sister!" dove gave cassie a confused look after she just disregarded her question. "hold on what?" dove asked, her sister squealed again, "quick give me your phone!" dove gave her sister a confused look and hesitantly reached for her phone, "wait hol-" "GIVE ME YOUR PHONE!" dove's eyes widened and she quickly handed cassie her phone.

"CASSIE WHAT THE FUCK?!" she snatched the phone away, "WATCH YOU MOUTH MISSY!" dove ignored her mother and scanned over the replies she had already gotten with worried eyes, "i'm already getting death threats!" cassie's face suddenly looked clouded with sadness and worry. dove quickly deleted the post and deactivated her account before shutting off her phone, hoping that was enough to stop whatever hate she was or could've gotten.

karl laid on his back just thinking as his phone blew up with notifications beside him, most from the group chat, sapnap or chris.

he groaned and pulled his phone above his face, opening messages and looking at the group chat first. a quiet gasp left his lips as he saw the dark eyes from the mall. he dropped his phone on his face but paid no mind to the bit of pain, hurrying to open his phone again and look at the messages. it was her. he got up and quickly sat down at his computer, pulling up discord and joining the dream smp call. "its her, its actually her." he said immediately, everyone in the call cheered, "what are you waiting for dm her twitter!" he sighed and pulled up twitter.

"i cant find it?" he said sadly, he'd been looking for her account for the past three minutes. "apparently she deactivated her account, probably cause of the hate." everyone in the call made sad sounds of agreement and karl groaned before leaving the call. his one chance, gone.

suddenly his phone rang with a call from chris. "hello?" he said tiredly into the phone, "dude did you dm her?" he sighed and sat on his bed, "no she deactivated her accounts." chris groaned, "bro that was my one chance." karl said sadly, "why don't you just go back to the place she works?" karl sat for a second, "wait, YOUR A GENUIS CHRIS, BYE!" he hung up and checked the time, 8 pm. he sighed again and decided tomorrow he'd go, he had to.
