Emerson Isabella Stratton, 17 years old, bisexual.
Emerson struggles with her identity. She is a girl and 9 times out of 10 she identifies as that. But there are days where she just doesn't feel like a girl.
She changes who she is like the night t...
My eyes close and I lean my head back on the couch.
Soon enough I feel Jasmine straddling me, hands on either side of my face.
"You tired?" She asks.
I shrug," yes and no. Tired of unpacking yes, tired in general no. We should go out, explore the city."
"We don't have a guide or anything, we're bound to get lost."
Standing up, Jasmine wrapping her legs around my waist, I say," that's the point. We know where we live so worst case we call a lyft."
She contemplates for a moment," okay."
"Yes!"
We slip our shoes on and grab our stuff before leaving out. I lock the door behind us and we lace our fingers together.
Despite it almost being 7 in the evening, the sun is still out. The weather is perfect, windchill low enough, 79 degrees, and sunny.
Peacefully we walk the streets.
The neighborhood is looks great. There's a park two blocks away from our house, a cute little cafe across the street from it, a market, florist.
Smiling I tug Jasmine across the street to the florist and buy her a rose.
"Awe thanks baby." She leans over and kisses my cheek.
We continue to walk and we near Hollywood, I was unaware of how close we lived to the center of L.A.
We take pictures at the Chinese Theater, which looks freaking awesome.
We see celebrity stars on the ground. Zoe Saldana just recently got her star here so we take a picture with that and afterwards I treat her to lunch before we make our way back to the house.
"Oh my fucking god Emerson!"
Frowning I look at her and she's staring starstruck ahead of her.
I look that way and I raise a brow.
"Relax I got this." I square my shoulders and stride over to him.
He's looking down at his feet casually and no one seems to notice him yet so I approach quietly.

"Uh excuse me."
He looks up and flashes a smile," hello." His British accent is so prominent.
"Um, you're Tom Holland right?"
The smile on his face doesn't leave and it's pretty cute," yeah I am."
"I knew you looked familiar, I'm sorry for interrupting your walk but my girlfriend is a big fan and I was hoping I could get a picture of you two." I smile hopefully.
He nods," of course, anything for a fan."
I wave Jasmine over who giddily and nervously approaches and stands at Tom's side.
"Hello love, I'm Tom, and you?"
If I were not happily in love I'd waste no time in trying to get with him, despite him being totally out of my league.
Jasmine manages to control her freak out," I'm uh-" or so I thought.
She freezes.
"Jesus, Jasmine, your name is Jasmine." I say.
Tom chuckles at this," nice to meet you Jasmine, ready to take a picture?"
She nods eagerly.
Tom wraps his arm around her shoulders and her arm goes around his waist. He's a superstar, she loves me, don't freak out.
I take three pictures of them together.
"Thank you so much." I extend a hand to Tom.
Still smiling and as sweet as ever he says," it was no problem."
"Autograph." Jasmine mumbles.
Shaking my head I dig around in my pocket for something for him to sign, a receipt.
"You mind if we get an autograph?"
He chuckles and shakes his head. As if prepared for this he pulls a sharpie out his pocket and signs the back of the receipt against the wall.
"Here you are." He hands it to Jasmine.
"Again thanks so much."
"Anytime."
And then we part ways.
We're walking past the park when Jasmine finally speaks again.
"Oh my fucking god I froze in front of Tom Holland, I just made the biggest fool of myself."
I wrap my arm around her," no you didn't, you did what just about any fan would do."
"I'm so embarrassed."
I laugh at her. It's adorable to see her acting like this.
"Hate to break it to you but you have to get use to this. One: we live in L.A. so our chances of seeing celebrities is much much higher. Two: once you blow up from the tv show or movie, you'll be a superstar yourself." I inform her.
She chuckles at this," you will too once your movie takes off."
As we walk we talk about how awesome being famous would be and really it's more of a possibility now with our current opportunities.
We get back home and Skype our friends. Jasmine gushes about her meeting with Tom Holland. Olivia shrugs, she loves Tom Holland as the new Spider-man but she keeps her fangirl under wraps. Will has the same reaction.
Everyone else is beyond giddy asking for every detail of the meeting. They all kind of laugh at Jasmine because of her lack of speaking with Tom.
During the call I order Chinese and after it arrives we end the call and eat.
"Honestly I'm so excited for this interview. If it goes well I could be famous, dining with Zendaya and Tom Holland one day." Jasmine beams.
I can't help but smile at her happiness.
It's not until we've showered and gotten in bed that she stops cheesing about the movie.
