Love Of My Life

Youre New Here

"You're new here.", A man with long brown hair and big teeth said and smiled at her.
"What makes you think that?", She asked him sceptically and raised her eyebrows.
"I've never seen you here before.", He stated, "I'm Freddie."
"Yn."
"Nice to meet you Yn.", He smiled wider and even flashed a little bit of teeth.
Yn smiled back and held out her hand, but Freddie hugged her.
"You're my friend now.", He stated and dragged her by the hand, "I'll show you around."
"That's nice and all, but may I ask why I'm your friend now?"
"Simply because you're the only one with a decent sense for fashion and because you didn't say anything about my teeth."
"Why would I? They're just teeth and they make you unique.", Mike told him, "Nothing special and wrong with that."
"That's the nicest thing people have ever said about my teeth."
"Well... I bet your dentals aren't the only thing that define you, honey."
Freddie smiled again and greeted some people passing by them and introduced Yn, not that she could remember their names or faces after the day was over. She had had her classes for the day already when Freddie had claimed her as her friend and she probably wouldn't have been able to get to them with him.
"You gotta give me your address darling. We'll go out tonight.", He said and Yn smiled back. She wrote her address down on his arm.
"You know what Yn? We don't live too far apart.", He said with a smile, "You live alone dear?"
"No. My mum wouldn't let me. I live with some girl.", She told him while rolling her eyes, "She's boring."
"I bet!", He smiled at her reaction, "I'll pick you up around eight then."
"Yeah. Until then!"
And with that they parted ways and Yn went home with a smile for the first time in weeks. The only thing weakening her joy was the fact that a phone call from her mother was waiting for her around nine. She would have a minor panic attack when it's not her but Liz picking up. Okay maybe more like a big panic attack.

Later that day she got ready and was already almost out of the door when Liz came by her with a frown.
"You wanna go out like that?", She asked and looked utterly disgusted.
"Yeah. Why? What's wrong with it?"
"Everything! That skirt is way too short!"
No it isn't. It's reaching mid thigh which is enough for Yn.
"And this blouse... It's only tied at the front! You're barely wearing anything!"
It has long sleeves damnit!
"Those shoes are interestingly ungly."
Yn shook her head. Liz really didn't know anything. She's the one always running around in big sweaters, even during summer. Nothing against big sweaters but not the way she's wearing them.
"Thank you for your analysis Liz, but I'm leaving.", And with a last smile that wasn't meant to be nice, Yn left the flat and went outside.
"You're looking great my dear.", She then already heard Freddie who looked at her with a smile, "Where did you get that coat?"
"Made it myself."
"Awesome.", He smiled again, "I seem to have gotten me the best friend today."
"Seems like it. I'm a delight to be around Fred.", Yn said, "Thanks for getting me out of that shithole."
"Why? Looks nice to me."
"It's a shithole because of Liz. Not because of the way it looks.", Yn rolled her eyes, "I hate her."
"I bet you do.", He grinned at her, "Let's hate her together."
"Alright."
"But the consequence would be for you too like my friends."
"Deal."
They had a great time that night and all the other times they met up and went to see some bands, one with some people Yn had seen in her university and Freddie had introduced her too one day probably because Freddie behaved like he knew them. He probably did. Kind of. They were good but the name was a little weird. Smile. Yn understands that music brings a smile to people's faces and to hers as well but still. They didn't look too happy performing. The guitarist looked bored, the drummer as well and the singer half assed his singing most of the time. But Freddie likes them so Yn likes them too.
"Let's talk to them!", He suddenly pulled at Yn when she wanted to take a sip of her beer, but his pull resulted in her spilling the contents of her drink.
"Freddie!", She yelled and let the glass down onto the bar again, "You ruined my dress!"
"Oh sorry!", He just said and pulled her after him nevertheless, "Doesn't matter! At least you're wearing underwear."
"Fred! It's cold!"
"Wear your coat!"
And just like that they were outside and in front of the van. The drummer and the guitarist sitting there quite miserably but that didn't stop Freddie. While he talked to them, Yn got into her coat and tried to get warm again, while looking around. She didn't know what they were talking about but when the blond made a nasty comment about Freddie's teeth she looked at him angrily. Before she could say something Freddie started to sing and stunned the two men.
"He does that quite often.", Yn said with a smile towards Freddie, "And he's good."
"What's your name beautiful.", The blond asked with a smile.
"Yn. What about you blondie?"
The other one laughed and the blond looked at her a little shocked but then started to smile again.
"Roger. Do you perhaps play the bass?"
"Nope. I do not.", Freddie and Yn both said, "She plays the most useless intrument ever."
"The bassoon is not useless!"
"But for a band.", The guitarist then said.
Yn rolled her eyes again.
So it was kind of settled. Freddie exchanged telephone numbers with the two other men and Yn smiled and shook her head when Roger asked for her number.
They went back inside and Freddie left Yn at the bar again but this time she didn't mind.
