Perfect Match

My phone buzzed on my drawer, making me jump. I picked it up and answered it in my usual way. 'Yello?' It was Sophie, my best friend.

'Hey, i'm on my way, i'll be there in five.' Sophie was coming over to get ready with me as in a few hours, we would be on our way to our very first Youtube meet up. To say I was excited was an understatement, i mean, i spend 90% of my life gawping at Youtubers and I was finally going to meet some of the ones i had watched for so long. I put down my phone and carried on grabbing things out of my wardrobe, amazed that i had so many clothes, and still had nothing to wear. A few minutes later, my doorbell rang. When i answered the door, there stood Sophie, carrying 3 large carrier bags. 'Nice to see your travelling light,' I joked, holding the door open for her. 'Do you want me to look nice? This is my big chance to impress these guys,' she argued. When we got up to my room, she poured the contents of her bags onto my bed. I was amazed to see she had brought 4 different outfit choices with her as she couldn't decide which one to wear, and 3 makeup bags, crammed full of brushes and makeup. I laughed as she held each outfit up against her, pouting like a model. 'Hmmm, second one,' I decided thoughtfully. For her we had chosen a 'You Me At Six' band top, black leggings, a denim jacket and her trademark doc martins. She looked amazing and I stared in jealousy. 'So what are you wearing?' She asked, looking round the piles of clothes on my floor. 'I don't know, i have nothing,' I moaned.

'Don't say that, come on, we will find something,' she retorted, marching over to my wardrobe. 30 minutes later, we had decided on my grey acid wash jeans, a floral top with black writing scrawled across it, a little black jacket and my vans. 'Now for makeup,' i laughed, my eyes scanning the heaps of makeup on my bed. I couldn't decide what look to go for so started picking through the makeup, searching for inspiration. What look could possibly make a famous Youtuber fall in love with me? I looked over to wear Sophie was standing in front of the mirror, perfecting her gorgeous cat eye flicks. She was wearing a soft pink lipstick, so her eyes were the main focus. I sighed and decided to do hot pink lips and fairly natural looking eyeliner. I used my favourite mascara, Maybelline Colossal, to make my eyes pop. Staring at my reflection in the mirror, i couldn't help but notice how much more stunning Sophie looked than me. Tugging hard on my hair bobble, i wondered what the heck to do with my hair. My hair type is the horrible, curly, wavey, poofy sort and i never know what to do with it. As me and Sophie chatted away, i quickly went over my hair with the straighteners. It would do.

After a while of chatting idly, we set off on our walk to the train station. It was sunny and as we stood waiting for the train, i noticed my intense butterflies in my stomach. Our train arrived on time and we boarded. Our carriage was empty, apart from a woman and a young child in the corner, totally captivated by his ds. We talked about who we thought might be at the meet up, making me even more excited. Eventually, we arrived in Birmingham and we made our way to the city centre.

After about 20 minutes of walking, we made it to the park where the meet up was being held. I gasped at the amount of people there, all teenagers of about our age, chatting and laughing. It was perfect. A girl walked past us with ripped tights, bright pink hair, and a slush puppy in her hand. She looked brill and i wished i had the confidence to stand out. We made our way over to the park and walked in. Even though there was so many people, the park was so big that there was still space to mooch round. As we walked round, i noticed Zoella and Alfie from Pointless Blog nearby. I nudged Sophie and we went over to meet them. 'Hey!' We both said. They both smiled at us and we stood chatting for a while. They were both so lovely. We said our goodbyes and walked away. 'Omg, this is incredible,' I mouthed to Sophie. We scanned round, searching for other of our favourite Youtubers. Suddenly, two guys caught my eye. They were laughing and joking, and poking each other. I felt dizzy and like i was about to faint. Seeing them. There. In real life. Sophie must have followed my eyes because at once, she had grabbed my arm in amazement. We exchanged a glance that said 'omg, it's them!' Immediately, we started power walking over to them. Every step closer i took, my stomach knotted even more. We finally reached them and as soon as they saw us approaching, they stood up and gave us the cheesiest smiles. 'Hey,' Dan grinned, waving awkwardly. Phil greeted us kindly, making us laugh, as always. I couldn't believe what was happening. We were there. Talking to our favourite Youtubers. Ever. I had had a mega crush on Dan for as long as I could remember, and Sophie with Phil. 'Hey, i'm amber,' i smiled, i couldn't help but stare into his gorgeous brown eyes. I noticed Sophie and Phil chatting, a few metres away. They were laughing and looked like they were old friends at a reunion. 'Looks like they're having fun,' Dan laughed, nodding in their direction. Me and Dan carried on chatting for a while. I felt like i needed to try and pretend i didn't know absolutely everything about danisnotonfire so he didn't think i was an obsessed fan.

After about half an hour of chatting, Phil and Sophie walked back over to us and we all stood together. 'Hey, do you guys want to go and get a drink or something? We can come back here after?' Dan queried, his eyebrows raised. Damn he looked so cute. I nearly let out a little yelp. Dan Howell. Yes. Dan Howell had just invited me to hang out with him. I glanced at Sophie questioningly and got a quick head nod in reply. 'Yeah sure!' I giggled awkwardly. 'To the shops,' Phil announced, pointing out of the park. We all fell about laughing. I couldn't believe our luck. They were both even nicer in person and i fancied Dan even more now i'd met him. As we walked, i couldn't help but notice dan was wearing incredibly sexy black skinnies and a 'i'm a danosaur' top. No shame in being proud of yourself ay. Phil was wearing grey skinnies and a lumberjack style shirt. I knew from watching his videos that he wore these quite often. We walked up outside a costa shop and Dan jerked his thumb at it. 'Here?'

'Ooh, i'm dying for a decaf,' Sophie replied, skipping to the door and holding it open for us. When inside, we ordered our drinks and sat down. OMG. I could have died. I sat down, thinking Sophie would sit next to me, when Dan pulled out the chair and sat down. NEXT TO ME. That meant Phil and Sophie were next to each other on the opposite side of the table. I noticed how well they looked next to each other, like the perfect couple. We chatted about Youtube and I told them how i'd always wanted to make a channel, but was afraid of getting no subscribers. That was when it happened. It really did. 'Hey, what about you come to ours and I can help you start a channel?' Dan said, looking into my eyes. I melted inside. I struggled to get my words out. Dan had just invited me round to his! 'Oh really, would you do that? Sounds great,' I stammered. 'Of course, you can come along too,' Dan added, addressing Sophie.

'Yeah, i could show you a few editing tricks or something,' Phil chimed in.

'Sounds perf,' Sophie replied, blushing slightly.
