you've been a fan of mason thames for a long time. he's a year younger than you so you feel a bit gross for liking him. (he's 18, you're 19). the new black phone 2 movie just came out. you've never been a big fan of horror movies but black phone is an exception. when you heard of a press tour not too far from where you live, you just had to go. to meet mason would be everything. the night before, you made him a beaded bracelet, one that matches the one you have, and wrote a note. you figured you would be nervous and not have enough time to say everything you want to.

you wake up the next morning and get ready. you fuel your hair, put on very light and minimal makeup, and get dressed. you throw on a pair of baggy jeans, a loose jersery that you tuck up to make it half cropped, and slip on a pair of sneakers.

you drive to the event and show your ticket. once you're in, you get into line where you're directed to. most of these girls are probably 13 or so, so you feel quite out of place. you debate leaving.

however, it is soon to be your turn. you get up to the front of the line and hand your purse to the staff member who keeps hold of it for safety purposes. she holds it where you will exit for you. you walk up to mason and give him a small smile.
