Reaching a Dream (The story of how I met Asher Angel)
Chapter 1: The day before
One day on June 7th, I felt super anxious as I worked. The next two days, were going to be the best days of my life thus far. So far, at Dairy Queen, we had only a handful of customers and it was quite slow at the moment. So, while I cleaned the blizzard machine, I told my friend, Keara about how I was feeling about the whole sitaution.
"Hey Keara, do you remeber that celebrity I'm always talking about?"
She replied, "I think so, his name's Asher, right?"
I nodded as I said, "Yeah, that's his name. Guess what's happening tommorow?"
She thinks for a moment and then says, "I don't know, what happens tommorow?"
With a very excited smile, I tell her, "I'm meeting Asher tommorow!"
Shocked, Keara says, "Oh my gosh, are you serious?"
Grinning like an idiot, I reply, "Yeah! I'm so excited."
She says, "Congrats, I'm so happy for you."
For the rest of the night, we both talk about different things as we worked. Finally, it was time for me to go home.
Arriving at home, I put on my pajamas, brushed my teeth, and got ready for bed. As I climbed into the covers, I realzed what was going to happen the next day. Suddenly, I could barely sleep, I was so excited. But somehow, I did end up falling asleep.
Chapter 2: Photo-Op
The next morning, my mom and I woke up early, got packed and drove 6 hours all the way down to Indianapolis. When we arrived at the house we were staying at, my mom introduced me to her friends. I was polite about their questions, but honestly, I couldn't wait to go meet Asher at the Comic Convention. We had arrived at 11:30 and his photo-op wasn't until 2 o' clock. Impatiently, I asked my mom, how much longer we had until the event. In a stern voice, she replied, "Olivia, wait. We'll go in 45 minutes."
Frowning, I slunk back into the couch and read my book until it was time to go to the con. Finally, 45 minutes later it was time to go to the con. The second my mom said, "It's time to go, Liv." I bounced up from the couch, ran to the door and pulled on my shoes. Then, as I waited for my mom to put her shoes and grab her keys.
The minute we arrived, I jumped out of the car and ran inside the building. My mom told me to find the ticket booth. I found it and the people helped me and mom get our passes.
Then, we headed to the photo-op, and the whole time in line, I was completely calm. But, the second it was my turn, I ran into Asher's arms and said, "Oh my god, I love you so much!" and he smiled, and replied, "Aw, I love you." So, we take the picture and I'm hugging him, with the stupidest grin on my face. Then I tell him, "You're litterally my hero. I love you." Then, Asher replies, "Aw, that's so sweet, I love you too."
Then as I'm leaving the booth, I highfive one of the guards. And the second I step outside, I begin breathing heavily and start saying, "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god." over and over outloud, all the way over to the table where they were handing out the pictures. And my mom had to calm me down.
Chapter 3: Meeting an Angel
Now after getting the picture, we walked around the con floor and saw lots of cool stuff. Finally, we went to get my autograph and as we were talking to one of the workers, Asher looked up, from signing stuff, and smiled directly at me. Of course, me being crazy nervous, I collapsed right on the floor and my mom scolded me. Then, she said, "Liv, you okay?" I nodded in reply and then, we walked up to Asher's table. The worker asked if we wanted a selfie or autograph. And I told him, "I just want to talk to Asher." The worker smiled and said, "Well, what are you standing here for? Go talk to him" The worker barely got to finish his sentence when I ran over to Asher's side of the table. I told him my name, that I'm a huge fan, and everything he'd done for me, without him even knowing it. At first, Asher looks speechless, then he smiled and said, "Wow. I'm glad I'm so special to you. I hope everything I do makes you happy." Then I replied, "Ash, you already make me happy just by existing." This makes him giggle a little bit, then he asks me. "Are you here from Indiana?" Then my mom says, "No, we're from Wisconsin." And I add, "We drove 6 hours to see you." This makes Asher smile, then he comes out from his booth, and gives me a big hug. The second he hugs me, I immedatley start to sob. He says, "Oh no! Don't cry please." Through sniffles, I say, "I'm so sorry, Ash. I'm just so happy." This makes him hug me tighter, and I cry right onto his shirt. Finally, he says, "All better? I'm so glad I got to meet you. It's fans like you that make me want to keep to doing this." This makes me smile, and then we took a picture. I had my Asher hoodie on, but before we took the picture, he asked me where I got the cutout of his face. And with a grin, I reply, "Amazon. You're that famous, Ash." This makes him laugh, and he shows Jody the cutout and Jody tells us some trivia about Asher's old merch.
