I sigh for what feels like the millionth time as i look at myself in the mirror. I had moved here to LA a few weeks ago from the UK where I had lived all my life. I wanted to come to LA to pursue my dream of becoming a writer.

I look at myself in the mirror one last time and decide my hair, makeup and outfit will have to do. I grab my small, cute black backpack that i had bought back when i was in the UK from River Island and put my phone, Polaroid camera and my favourite book at the minute, All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven into it and swing it over both my shoulders and head out the door.

I am sitting outside of this cute cafe 15 minutes away from my apartment reading All The Bright Places, i cant believe I'm actually in love with a made up character from a book. Although the more boys i come across in real life the more i realise that boys in books are so much better than boys in real life.

I hear laughter from the table in front of me and i have to look twice because i cant believe my eyes. The table in front of me shows two very cute boys laughing and taking pictures on their phones, although they aren't just any cute boys.. They are the Dolan Twins. They were on vine now they make YouTube videos and they just happen to be my favourite people ever. I love them. They are the only reason i have Twitter, SnapChat, Instagram. they are the only good thing about social media. I have my own twitter dedicated to them. The fangirl in me wants to get up and go ask them for a picture but I'm far too shy to do that, plus I don't want to disturb them, so I just stop starring and continue to read and drink my latte.

However I can feel their eyes on me, I look up from my book and they are both looking at me, Ethan who had his back to me to begin with smiles at me and then turns back to face Grayson who continues to stare at me. I look calm on the outside but on the inside I'm freaking out, all the times I've tried to meet them or tried to get them to notice me on twitter and failed and now here they are, right in front of me and all I've managed to do is stare at them. They probably caught me starring and are thinking that I'm some crazy fan who has been following them, I mean I look so sketch right now,I'm alone reading a book, how many 17 year olds read books?! not many I know.... I look away from them and continue to read....


Grayson's Point Of View:

I'm sitting outside of a cafe with Ethan like we do most mornings in the Summer, we order pancakes and lemonade, Ethan cant get enough of his pancakes, he would probably eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I let him. We each snap our food for SnapChat and take pics of each other, laughing at the goofy ones.

I notice a girl sitting at the table in front of us, she looks about the same age as me and Ethan, somehow I cant seem to take my eyes off of her, shes beautiful. Shes got long brown hair, pale skin. Shes not anything like the other girls you see in LA. Shes different, I like that. She seems very interested in the book shes reading I haven't witnessed anyone in LA reading before, her phone isn't even anywhere near her... Who is this girl?!

"Gray, Gray, Grayson!" Ethan is snapping his fingers in my face trying to get my attention. I look up at him. "Sorry bro I was just - but he cuts me off " starring at that cute girl sitting at the table behind us" he finishes smiling and turning to look at her. "Bro shut up she will hear you!" I whisper shout to my idiot twin brother.

"Bro if you like her go talk to her" Ethan suggests whilst on his phone.

"I cant just go up to a random cute girl and start talking to her, she'll think i'm a freak!" i whisper shout to him.

"No you wont. Just ask her what book shes reading and say its a shame she doesn't have any sexy reading glasses". Ethan's laughing to himself now. He gets and says " see you back at the apartment bro, good luck" nodding his head towards the cute girl i am currently crushing on. He starts walking back to our apartment. I decide to take Ethan's advice and i get up and go talk to her. What could possibly go wrong?

Abigail's Point Of View

I glance up from my book and notice Grayson coming towards my table. I also notice Ethan isn't anywhere in sight. He talks the empty seat opposite me. I look calm on the outside but on the inside I'm freaking out.

"What are you reading?" He asks, smiling.

I look up properly from my book smiling back at him because he has a contagious smile that i just cant help it and reply as calmly as i can "All The Bright Places."

"Oh cool" he responds nodding.

"Have you ever read it?" I ask already knowing the answer.

"No, I don't really like reading its not really my thing.. I think people who read are cool though"

I put the book down. "Why do you think they are cool?" I ask intrigued

"People who read just seem really smart i guess" he says with a sudden nervous tone.

Grayson Dolan thinks I'm cool and smart? This cannot be happening right now. why did he come over here anyway? there are loads of insanely pretty girls sitting outside of this cafe that he could talk to, why would he choose me?

"You don't sound like you're from here" He says interrupting my thoughts.

"No I'm not I'm from England I've come here to hopefully get noticed as a writer.. i wasn't having much luck back home"

"England? Oh well that explains the cute accent then. I blush. HARD.

I smile at him not knowing what to say or do. God why am i so awkward?

He leans in a little closer and says "Look i know you are probably wondering why i came over to your table and just randomly started talking to you, well i think you're one of the most cutest girls I've ever seen and i was wondering if i could get your number and maybe we could hangout sometime?" He asks with hopeful eyes.

I have to sit there in silence for a minute because i cannot believe this boy that I've been in love with for a year has just asked for my number. " Urm, yeah.. Sure why not" i say smiling while i try and find my phone that i shoved in my bag. I find it and hand it to him which he takes smiling and puts his number in it whilst handing me his phone and i do the same. We give each other our phones back and then a waiter comes out of the cafe and hands me my bill. I go to get money out of my purse but before i can hand it to the waiter Grayson stops me. He pays for me and for his and Ethan's bill from earlier.

"You really didn't have to do that"

"Aw don't worry about it babe" he says slightly winking at me and smiling.

He gets up and says "I gotta go but have a good day and i'll call you later"

"Oh okay see you" I say in disbelief as i watch him walk away.

I put my phone and my book back in my bag and try to come to terms with everything that just happened.


I make my way back to my apartment which is the opposite way that Ethan and Grayson went. It takes no more than 10 minutes for me to get home. My heart is still pounding from today, certain words that Grayson said repeating in my head making me get butterflies. "cutest" "babe". Nothing seems real but i know it is and that makes me feel a way I've never felt before...

Theres just one thing bothering me.. would he have given me his number if he knew i was a fan? Would he be mad because i didn't tell him? I pretty much lied to Grayson Dolan.......
