I cheerily walk over to my closet.

     HmMmMMmMm...

     What should I wear? I pull out a orange crop top and black leggings. I then throw on a jacket. This is fine I guess. Very casual. I tie my black hair in a bun. Before leaving, I stuff my wallet and keys into my pocket and zip it up so they wouldn't fall out. I also take my library books that I need to return to the library. Since the locations are so close, I decide to walk.

     Canada is so cold today. Brrrr. God I should've checked the weather today. I look at my list of things to do.

1. Get some groceries
•Eggs
•Bacon
•Tomato soup
•Rice uwu

2. Drop off library books

3. Buy a new alarm clock

     Ok that's easy. I head into the grocery store and grab a cart. I wheel the cart to where the meat are and grab the bacon. Then I get the eggs and tomato soup. I look at the list. Ok rice left. Being Asian, it's basically a law to have a rice cooker and the knowledge of cooking rice (NOT BEING RACIST ITS JUST A JOKE DONT COME AT ME 😖). I try to grab the bag off the shelf but it's so heavy. The last time I went to get groceries Holli went with me to help me but now I'm all alone.

     "Hey, you need help?" A voice asks. I jump and get startled. I turn around and see a guy in a hoodie with poofy black hair. I nod. "Ok so 1, 2, 3!" And we lift up the rice bag into my cart.

     I say, "Thanks!"

     He says, "No problem. Oh god." He looks at his phone. "Sorry, I got to go. Maybe I'll see you again!" He runs past me. I watch him as he stops for a moment to look at the knives on the rack then runs out the door.

     His voice seems so familiar...

     Oh well! I check #1 off the list. I pay for the items. Next I have to drop off my books onto the library. The walk was a bit far but I could manage. I love the air today. It's cold but it's relaxing. I close my eyes. A few moments later, I'm suddenly on the floor with all my groceries around me. I look up and see the same guy in the grocery store on the ground too cursing at himself.

     "Oh my god, I am so sorry dude! I didn't look where I was going," I apologize quickly.

     "Heh, it's fine," he brushes off. He stands up and extends his hand. I take it and he helps me stand up. He picks up my groceries. "So where are ya headed to?" He asks.

     "The library. I need to return some books," I reply as we walk. "How about you?"

     "I was running some errands myself," He says. "I needed to do them before I meet up with these YouTubers tonight. I have one more so woohoo!"

     I freeze. Wait what? "Who exactly are these YouTubers?" I ask.

     "My friends and I are doing a collab with this channel called 'ChunkyMonkeys'. Such a weird name," He says with a chuckle.

     I blush. That's my channel. "N-Nice," I reply meekly.

     "Hey are you ok? You look like a freaking tomato about to explode," He laughs. That laugh. That adorable laugh that I know so well. Wait a minute...

     "STEPHEN!?" I practically scream. He looks a little different from what I expected. His hair is all poofy and not shaved into a Mohawk like in the animations. Plus he had glasses!? But to be honest, he was actually pretty good looking.

     He jumps. "How do you know my name?" He asks nervously. He looks around making sure nobody heard us.

     "I-I'm Stephanie from ChunkyMonkeys..." I say.

     Stephen's face goes bright red and mutters, "Dammit Stephen. Get yourself together man."

     We walk in silence for a while.

     "S-So uh..." I say, trying to make conversation.

     "You excited for tonight?" He asks. "I guess you already met me. Heh heh."

     I nod. "You don't believe how happy I am right now," I smile. "I've been a fan of your channel. Plus your dark and dirty jokes always makes me laugh," I gush.

     He grins and says, "Thanks, that means a lot. I love your videos as well. Do you have anything else to do on your list?"

     "I just need to drop off my library books and buy a new clock," I say as we walk into the library. I hand over the books to the librarian and we walk out.

"Funny thing is is that I need a new alarm clock as well," Steven says. I ask why and he replies, "My freaking alarm goes off so early in the morning and it's annoying. So today I uh threw my alarm clock across the room to get it to shut up."

"That's exactly my reason too!" I laugh. We talk some more as we walk. He so easy to talk to. We arrive at the alarm clock store (idk where you buy alarm clocks sorry I'm dumb 🤷🏻‍♀️). We each pick one and Stephen insists he will pay. When I told him no it's ok he said, "I will murder you in your sleep Stephanie if you don't let me freaking pay..."

"Ok! Ok!" I say. I like the vibes of this guy. "Yes! I'm done with my list!" I exclaim and spin around. Stephen chuckles. I cock my head in confusion.

"You look so stupid," He says.

I pout and say, "Shut up Killer!"

He fake gasps and shouts, "How dare you insult Lord Stephen! You shall pay for this!!" With a sudden movement he grabs me tosses me onto his shoulder.

"Let me go!" I wail.

"Now don't be a baby! I am your lord remember?" He says.

"Could you at least tell me where we are going?" I ask.

"Lunch. I'm hungry as hell," He replies.

I blush. This is basically a date! What what tf are you thinking Steph!? You only met Stephen today! Just having lunch with a friend ( oh really ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ).

-TIME SKIP (After lunch)-

Wow. Stephen gobbled down that sandwich like a beast. But of course I did better.

Stephen suggested we should go take a walk to a park he knows nearby. I follow him. We had such a good time walking on the trail, taking pictures, dancing, and talking. Stephen may seem like a tough, menacing, and evil guy on the outside but he's also a very loyal and caring friend.

We sit down on a bench and look at the view. The sun is setting and it's beautiful. Wait. The sun is setting!? I pull out my phone and it reads 7:43. OH MY GOD I FORGOT TO HELP HOLLI CLEAN. NOW WE ARE LATE TO THE MEETUP!

"Stephen we gotta go! We are late!" I exclaim. He nods. I grab his hand and we run to Holli's house.
We finally reach her apartment and knock on the door.

It opens and Dakota says, "Well it's about time!"
