1: The tall man (and Jeremy)

"ugh, why do so many of my clothes not match!" I say as I frantically search my closet for anything decent to wear. I woke up 15 minutes late today because my stupid alarm didn't go off. While 15 minutes isn't that big of a deal to some people, it is for me. I wake up at 6:00, then I take 30 minutes to get dressed and brush my teeth, then I walk 10 minutes to my bus stop where the bus leaves at 6:45. The bus takes almost 1 hour to my university, where my first class starts at 8:00.

As of right now, I am 7 minutes behind schedule. I'm panicking right now if you can't tell, oh wait you can't because your reading this not seeing it. Anyways, I settle for a half-assed outfit consisting of a black, oversized sweater with jeans and sneakers. I didn't even have time to properly do my hair so I just combed it and let it loose.

I did a time check. 6:37. fuck. I quickly grabbed my backpack, locked the door, and fricking usain-bolted to my bus stop. Luckily the bus didn't leave yet, so I hopped on and sat near the door, hoping to save some time walking from my seat to the exit. I bring out my phone and do a quick hair check. It got a little frizzy from running, but i just combed it down with my fingers.

1 calming bus ride later and I'm at my university. I get off the bus and start making my way to the building. I take out my airpods and stuff them in my ears to listen to my playlist. Before I press play however, I hear a familiar deep voice call out my name.

"Danni!"

I pretend not to hear him.

"Danni!!"

If I don't see him he's not real.

"DANNI!"

fuck.

I feel a hand press down on my shoulder as I spin around to see a tall man wearing jeans and a long sleeve, unbuttoned, button-up with a white shirt underneath.

"Hey techno"

"Wow, did you really not hear me from all the way over there?"

I nod up and down. Techno wasn't really a bad guy, in fact he's one of my really good friends that I met at uni. I would describe our friendship as "annoying each other but care for each other" kind of thing.

"No sorry man, I was listening to my playlist."

"Mhm, then why haven't you pressed play yet?" The tall man says as he points to my phone.

"Damn man, why are you staring at my hands for? Got a kink for them or something?"

"WOW NOT SO LOUD DANNI." He yells out of sarcasm. "Anyways are we still hanging out after class?"

"Of course, wouldn't miss it for the world. Except if I get noticed by a celebrity on the way, then there's no way I am coming back."

Techno laughs, doing that dolphin laugh thing as well. We bid farewell as we walk to our respective classes. Even though I've known Techno for almost two years, I still don't know his real name. He insists everyone calls him Techno instead, even the professors call him that. I don't mind it tho, it's nice to have a nickname everyone knows you by.

He also has a youtube channel, dubbed "Technoblade". I don't really watch his content as much, I watch other content creators instead. My favorite creators so far are Wilbur, Tommy, Tubbo, Niki, Eret, and Quackity. I know I live near Eret, but I don't want to ask Techno if he could introduce me because he doesn't know him that well either. I haven't meet any of Techno's online friends yet, but I would be glad too if he offered.

My classes end and I head out the building. I hear a notification ping and pull out my phone from my pocket, stepping aside the staircase to not block anyone. It's from Jeremy. Jeremy is my best friend, we've only known each other for a year yet we're practically like siblings.

Jeremy:
hey hoe

Danni:

Jeremy:

Danni:

Jeremy:

Jeremy:

jkjk

Danni:
fine, but don't break anything
AND STAY AWAY FROM MY STUDIO!!

Jeremy:
yes yes

seen

I click my phone off and shake my head in disbelief. He better not go in my studio. My studio is like my safe place, It's where I make my designs a reality. So far, I've gotten some gown orders here and there. But no big-named people have hired me for projects yet. The neighborhood I live in knows me well enough though, they call me "the seamstress". I'm starting to grow, and I'm happy about that.

I snap back to reality from my inner monologue and start to walk towards the cafè me and techno agreed to meet at. We don't really talk about our days when we meet, we just people-watch and give them their own stories. Like a guy with a macbook would come in and we would give him a backstory. I would say he is a poser who comes to the cafè to show off his wealth and hopefully get drawn by a local artist.

I enter the cafè and see Techno at our normal table, already equipped with drinks for hours of people-watching. I sit next to him.

"Thanks for the drink."

"What are you talking about, they're both for ME."
He says as he cautiously slides both drinks over.

We stare at each other in silence for a good minute until he drops the act. He slides the drink back over to me.

"I'm just kidding Danni. Here ya go"

I nod in satisfaction as I take a sip. We both shift ourselves to sit comfortably as we stare at the door, waiting for the first person to walk in.
