Chapter 16~ I Think His Name Was Henry

When we finally calmed down enough, I got up from the floor; helping Maddie up when she reached her hand towards me.

"Lazy." I mumbled at Maddie before offering a hand to Nani and Sierra.

After we were all on our feet, I turned to the girls.

"Did you guys happen to bring an extra set of clothes?" I asked doubtfully.

"Actually, yes." Sierra said.

"We always come prepared." Nani added.

"Well, we should probably clean ourselves up before we begin on this mess." I sigh, looking around.

The girls all run up the stairs and into Maddie's room. I follow them up the stairs before heading into my own room to change.

After putting on fresh clothes, I head back down the stairs. As I am getting out the cleaning stuff from the closet, the three girls run down the stairs, not perfectly clean, but good enough. There is still flour in Maddie's hair.

"Just to clarify," I say, looking at Maddie, "We are never eating homemade cookies again.

She just shrugged her shoulders and took the mop I offered her. I put Nani in charge of the water bucket, and Sierra in charge of wiping the counters after I had thrown everything away that was on top of them and threw the dishes in the sink.

"Ugh" Maddie said as we all sat down on the couch after an hour of cleaning.

"I'm never baking again, that's for sure." Sierra says, tossing the remote to Maddie to turn the tv on. I figured they were going to watch some dumb One Direction show, so I headed upstairs. As I was walking, I heard four voices singing a pop tune, and rolled my eyes because I was right.

I don't really understand how they became so famous. From the spud of it, they weren't even that good. And, only the one -I think his name was Henry- is even hot. The other three aren't ugly, but just don't seem like my type. I roll my eyes once again, only this time at myself for even giving this stupid boy band a thought.

After taking the girls home, Maddie and I relaxed for the rest of the night. She thanked my at least 4 times for letting her have her friends over, which really surprised me. As you know, Maddie isn't exactly the thankful type. Or so I thought.

At around 9:00 I told Maddie that I was going to bed. I have work tomorrow, and I don't want to be tired while dealing with a bunch of tired people ordering breakfast at the crack of dawn. So I headed upstairs and quickly changed before slipping into bed.

Although studies show that you really shouldn't go on your phone right before you go to bed, I always do it anyway. I check my Instagram and make sure I wasn't texted at all before opening up my Twitter. I see 3 new followers, which isn't too bad. Since they all seem to be my age, I follow them all back. I notice that I now have 17,238 followers. Sam must be getting really popular, I think before clicking off my phone and falling asleep.

After pulling out of the school parking lot, I head towards Luke's Diner. Unfortunately, Kate isn't working today, so I will be alone. I check in, turn my phone off and leave it in the back, then slip on my black apron, checking to make sure I have a pad and pencil in the pocket. Some waiters are good enough u memorize orders, but I am sorry if I can't remember that someone wants a sandwich with no tomato and extra mayonnaise.

I head towards table four, which is in the section I am covering today. I have the back corner, so it shouldn't get that busy today. Seated at the table is a man and his two daughters. They look to be only a year or two younger than Maddie, and are talking to their dad about something excitedly. While I am approaching, I hear a small bit of what they are saying. As soon as I hear the words "One" and "Direction", I tune them out. I know it seems a bit harsh, but I am so sick of this crap about a dumb group of boys. I finally reach the table, and the father looks towards me with a smile. I return it before welcoming him to Luke's and asking what he and his daughters would like to drink.

"Three waters please." The man says as his daughters begin to wine. He looks to me and says, "As if they need any more sugar." I chuckle lightly before heading back towards the kitchen to get their drinks.

As predicted, it was a slow day. I only had ten other tables filled during my entire shift.

Now it was 3:00, and I had to get Maddie in a half an hour. I slipped off my apron, signed out for the day, and grabbed my phone. After saying goodbye to all my coworkers, I slipped out the door and began walking towards my truck. I powered on my phone, and almost immediately, my notifications blew up. I furrowed my eyebrows just as I reached my truck. I jumped in and decided to figure out why my notifications were going completely crazy. I looked down at my phone and realized that all of the notifications were from Twitter. I search through the hundreds of notifications, wondering what Sam did that was so amazing. I also had a bunch of comments saying "congratulations". I still had no idea what was going on, but I was going to be late in picking Maddie up, so I slipped my phone in my pocket and started up the truck.

I pull up to the school just in time to see Maddie walking out. As soon as she sees me, I turn my attention back to my phone. Slowly, I open up my Twitter and am shocked to see that I have 367,974 follow requests. I quickly scan through all of my comments, most of them just congratulating me. A hear Maddie get into the car, but I am too focused on figuring out what is going on, that I don't even look up at her.

"What's up?" I hear Maddie ask just as my eyes focus on the very words I had been looking for. My eyes scan the comment from 1Dofficial over and over again, my brain not fully comprehending.

"What's up? " I ask weakly. "I can't believe it." I mutter before tossing the phone to Maddie.

Well, not much to say here guys. I could go on to tell you all about how I sometimes didn't get home until 9:00 at night some days, or I could simply apologize to all my faithful readers. If you are even still reading this, it really makes my night every time I get a comment or vote. Thank you all so much for supporting me and continuing to read my work. On a lighter note, this book is finally picking up!!! The plot will start to pick up more, and for those of you who didn't catch on, the other boys will be introduced soon! Sorry for the cliffhanger by the way. ;) I love you all, and never forget to...
Stay extraordinarry!
