"Eliza!"

"I'm coming, don't rush me!" I say as I rush to get ready. I throw on a pair of leggings, a white t-shirt, a jean jacket, and my converse. I grab my camera and all of its accessories, preparing to head out the door.

"Took you long enough," my sister Genevieve states, rolling her eyes. The car keys jingle as she swiftly takes them off of the hook.

"I could've driven myself, you know. I'm twenty-four!" I state, crossing my arms. Genevieve just stares at me and laughs.

"Sure, but it's your first day with a new client! I can't miss this. Plus, you've had some pretty cute clients in the past," she winks as she says this, but I ignore her, walking out to the car and climbing in the passenger side. Genevieve hops in the driver's seat and starts up the engine. The radio immediately turns on, but lucky me, I have an aux cord. Genevieve hates when I have an aux cord. She complains I 'don't have a good taste in music.' I turn on my Fall Out Boy playlist and one of my favorites, The Kids Aren't All Right, starts to play. I, of course, sing the whole song, while Genevieve looks both disgusted and annoyed.

We finally arrive at the park for the photo shoot. I unload my camera and all of its things including my lenses, SD cards, and tripod. I hop out of the car to see two very tall men sitting on a bench. One of them - the one with the darker hair comes up to greet me and Genevieve.

"Hello! I'm Phil. You don't happen to be Eliza, do you?" He asks me. I nod my head. "Great! Don't worry, we weren't waiting for too long. Dan, come on over here and say hi to Eliza." The one with the lighter brown hair and brown eyes approaches me. They're both rather intimidating, standing over six foot tall; and I thought I was tall being 5'7.

"Hello, Eliza," the one called Dan says. Genevieve steps in front of me just as I'm about to speak. It seems she's already in love with him. She's liked some of the people I've worked with before, which is the only reason she ever goes with me to my photo shoots.

"Hi there! I'm Genevieve, Eliza's best big sister. Nice to meet you," Genevieve smiles brightly, holding out her hand for Dan to shake. Her smile soon fades as Dan seems a bit annoyed by the fact she stepped in front of me.

"I was talking to Eliza, not you," he states blandly. He takes a few seconds to take in my appearance, then nods slightly.

"It's nice to meet both of you," I say smiling. I glance at Genevieve, who still seems shaken up by the fact her new crush ignored her. I, personally, couldn't deny the fact Dan was rather good looking. "Genevieve, you can go now," I announce to her. She nods, waving to Dan and Phil as she hops back in the car.

"Text me when you're done, I'll come pick you up," she calls from out the window. I nod my head and wave as she leaves. I sigh, turning back to Dan and Phil. It was silent for a few seconds until Phil finally spoke up:

"Well, let's get started, shall we?" I nod, unloading my camera from its case. I put on the 85mm lens for the portrait pictures. I snap of few of Dan, then of Phil, then of both of them together. I notice they're extremely photogenic. I switch my lens to my 50mm one to take some full body portraits. I make sure to do my best work, mainly because it's my first day with them, but partly because Dan is pretty cute.

When the photo shoot ended, all of my stuff was literally everywhere. I sighed, beginning to pick things up. "Looks like we're all done here," I say smiling. I'm suddenly alarmed when I reach down to pick up my 35mm lens Dan's hand touches mine. I quickly pull away, blushing, "Sorry," I quickly state. He smiles, seeing nothing wrong with it.

"There's no need for apologies," he says with a small smile.

"Sorry - I mean, uh, I should stop talking," I say, flustered. Dan laughs a bit as I finish cleaning up my stuff. "It was nice to work with you, see you in a couple of days!" I told them as I pulled out my phone to text my sister.

"It was nice to meet you," I just barely hear Dan; he was so quiet. I turn around and smile at him.

"It was nice meeting you, too," I pull out my phone to text my sister I'm done. I glance around to see Phil waving goodbye at me. I wave back with a grin.

A few minutes later, Genevieve pulls up. She starts waving to Dan who looks confused. I say my final goodbyes as I hop in the car and go home. I catch Dan's eye just as I'm about to leave and he smiles at me. For some reason, that made me feel like I was on top of the world, yet there were a million butterflies in my stomach.

A/N:

Hello, there! Sorry this so short! (I really wanted to get it done, but don't worry! the other ones will be longer) Sooooo, this is the first chapter of my Dan Howell story, so I hope you enjoyed X3. I'm sort of new to this so if you catch any mistakes or don't like something about my story, feel free to tell me in the comments. It will get more exciting as I continue to write, so I apologize if this chapter was boring. It's just kind of an introduction to things. Thank you for reading!
