We hurried into the terminal, I was sure we weren't late but it seemed that today it seemed appropriate to be early. After all, we were all excited about the concert. I scrambled over to the check in and made sure all the luggage was carried away safely by a conveyer belt. My brain was frazzled from all the things I had to finish at the last minute before this trip, and it was nice to relax and take in the somewhat calming surrounding. I scanned the room, looking for something to do. Then I saw the only seat available I the room, next a cute looking guy.
I decided the best approach was to walk over timidly and sit down, but once step one was completed I resorted to my usual option, to say hello.
"Hi, I'm Hayley" I announced myself cheerfully, turning to face him and holding out my hand to shake. He turned his head around slowly and smiled as if he had completely forgotten that when someone says hello to you, you're supposed to answer. It was few seconds before his eyes widened and he blushed.
"Uh- Hi... I'm um...Zack" He said in a soft, shy voice. I already liked him. he seemed like the kind of guy that wouldn't care about my excessive chatter.
"Zack, Is that short for Zachary or something? or is it just Zack?" I asked, hoping that he wouldn't see it a rude. He gave a shy smile and laughed under his breath.
"No... I think it's just Zack" I laughed at his uncertainty.
"So, what brings you to this splendid airport?" I half-laughed at my own use of the word 'splendid'.
"The guys and I are playing at a gig in New York" He said. I liked how he sounded proud of this.
"No way, me too, what band?"
"Dying fetus-" he chuckled and I smiled.
"Yes, and I'm from the band Squishing Flies, really Zachary it was a serious question" I said in a relatively posh voice and for the first time he smiled with confidence.
"All time low, that's the band I'm in...you?" he asked, his shy expression returning
"Paramore" I answered politely, but I didn't get to ask him any more questions because the boarding sign flicked on and I was swept away by the Jeremy and Taylor. All the way to the plane I thought about Zack, the shy boy with the cute smile.
