Even though it was around 11 pm and my mom once again told me to go to bed, I turned off my lights and got on my laptop. Looking on Skype, I saw that Macie was signed on. I clicked her name and the call button and it bleeped while I waited. She accepted, thankfully, and answered with a “What’s up?”

“You’ll never guess what happened!” I screeched, putting my face close to the camera.

“OooOOh!” Macie situated herself and looked straight into the camera. “What!?”

“IM GOING TO UNI IN ENGLAND AND AM GOING TO SUMMER IN THE CITY!!!”

Macie’s jaw dropped and she screamed. I had to cover the speaker on my laptop so my parents wouldn’t hear. “Shhh!” I hissed.

“No way! Are you serious?”

“Yes! It’s going to be incredible!”

“OMG OMG OMG. I wish I could go..”

“You should! Buy a ticket and come with me!”

“I can’t…” She groaned. “I don’t have the money, and my parents definitely wont chip in.”

“Oh. Well, I have to go, but I thought you’d want to know.” I said as I prepared to sign off.

“K! Thanks! Love you, girl. Bye.”

I smiled. “Bye!”

(4 weeks later, in England)

The day after looking at all of my college options was Summer in the City! I was so excited, and I got up at 7 to make it there by 8. I hopped out of my hotel bed, and ran to the bathroom. I was sharing a room with my parents which sucked, and meant less space for all my stuff. I grabbed my light blue dress that had thin straps and it fit tightly around my waist. The dress went to just above my knee and had an open back. Although I’m not the skinniest person, I wasn’t over weight. The dress made me feel a little insecure but I hoped it would look fine in the pictures.

I washed my face and applied my under concealer. I then put on my top concealer and added a lighter skin color under my eyes and near my nose. After that, I used a thin brush and picked a color that matched my eyebrows and filled them in, and I also used the same brush and did a smoky eye with blues that matched my dress, and used a lip gloss that Zoe talked about on her YouTube channel Zoella280390.

Grabbing my tan wedge shoes and a TARDIS necklace, I ran down the hallway to the hotel elevator. I pressed the down button and jumped on my toes until it came.

When I arrived at Summer in the City it was just time to meet Dan and Phil. There was a huge line in front of me, but I was going to meet them! Trying to breathe normally, I stayed in line until there were two girls in front of me.

Dan and Phil were standing next to each other waving to each person that came up. They looked amazing. Phil was adorable with his pokemon shirt and his bear hugs, while Dan just looked hot. He had his black shirt with the white circle, and dark blue skinny jeans on. Each fangirl would walk up, give them hugs, have them sign something, take a picture and leave. It seemed like a normal routine.

My stomach had butterflies and I don’t think I was ever more nervous than I was at that moment. Suddenly, it was my turn to see them, and Dan’s eyes connected with mine. He looked up at me in a way I didn’t see him look at anyone else. He smiled and said hello with his perfect British accent.

“Hi.” I mumbled stupidly with a huge smile. Phil gave me a hug first and also said hello and then I turned to Dan. He too gave me a hug and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Elizabeth.” I responded.

“Well, Elizabeth, I have to say that you look beautiful.” I immediately blushed a bright red and looked at my feet.

“Thanks! You too.” I blurted and then blushed even darker. Dan burst out laughing before I could explain. Phil smiled and looked at Dan. “I’m sorry! That’s not what I meant! I swear…Oh god…” I covered my face with my hands and sighed, but I felt to warms hands grab mine and remove them.

“Hey, don't be embarrassed. You really do look amazing. And you're necklace is perfect.” He said, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. Dan said I was amazing. Oh my god. Oh my god.

“I bet you say that to everyone.” I said pointing at him.

“No.” Phil chimed in. “This is the first.” I smiled stupidly in return.

"So you're a fan of Doctor Who then?" I asked them both, looking down at my TARDIS necklace.

"Oh yes!" Phil responded, and Dan said that David Tennant was his favorite Doctor. I argued with him and said that Matt Smith was obviously better, but I heard a few groans in line behind me.

“Well, I don’t want to hold up the line of screaming girls.” Then I got out my camera and took a quick selfie with them. “Thanks!” Phil waved and Dan pulled me into another hug.  I could have sworn I heard a whispered good bye, but when I looked up at him, he was just staring at me with a cheeky grin. I blushed, once again, and turned away.
