I wake up to the pounding on my door. A squeal is coming from outside the door. "Mya, Mya, wake up!" I say. I look out the window. I see Laura staring at her phone and banging on my door, her blond curls brushed into a pony tail. She's dressed in a long-sleeved shirt, and then jeans. She looks way better than yesterday. Mya stands up. I open the door and Laura runs in my house. "You're better." I say. "I took medicine, I guess it's a one night thing." Laura says. She hugs Mya and says, "Happy Late Birthday, sorry I couldn't come." Then Laura starts to squeal again. "GUESS WHO TEXTED ME YESTERDAY!!!" Laura screams. "Hmm, I do not know." I say, of course- I knew. "ONE DIRECTION!!" She squeals. She jumps up and down. "I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO MEET THEM TODAY!" Mya squeals. "REALLY?" Laura screams. "Yeah!" I say. "OH AND GUESS WHO GAVE ARIA THE 'I LIKE YOU' SMILE!!" Mya squeals. "He did not!" I yell- though I wouldn't mind if he had. "Who?" Laura asks, calming down. "Louis Tomlinson." Mya says catching her breath. They start squealing again, so I go eat my breakfast and soon they join still talking about Louis and I.
Louis texts me and I almost spit out my cereal. I swallow my cereal. I know, it's just a text, but it's a text from Louis Tomlinson, and not the rest of the boys, and they didn't get a text just then. Louis's text says: Good-Morning NEMO(: I smile at the phone. I text him back: Good-Morning :D "She's texting. And smiling." Mya says. "She's never smiled at her phone." Laura says. They look at each other and then nod. I back away from the table. "Get that phone." Mya says. I run to the bathroom and lock the door. "Ha ha." I say, then I get ready to go. "Hey if you want to hang with the boys, you better get ready." I say. "I'll be here in 10." Laura yells and I hear the door close. "Can I wear your clothes?" Mya asks. "Sure, top drawer." I say. She goes and I unlock the door. I brush my hair into a braid and put on a gray beanie. I had some clothes in the bathroom, so I changed into a striped, blue and white T-Shirt and some red jean-type pants. I also have tennis shoes on. In about 10 minutes we're all ready and sitting in my living room. "What were you smiling about?" Laura asks. "Louis texted me this morning and said good-morning Nemo with a smiley face. I know it's not much, but it's kind of funny and cute." I say. "Aw." Mya says. "Harry wants to know if we want to go shopping today." Mya continues. "Yes." Laura and I say.
We walk out and start walking towards town. "Where we meeting them?" Laura asks. "I don't know." Mya says. "Find out, I'm so excited!" Laura says. "Doesn't this seem too good to be true? Like a dream? We can't actually be hanging out with One Direction. We can't actually even talk to them. We're on different levels of stuff. They're famous, we're not even well-known in the city." I say. "It does, kind of. But you're famous in this city. Singing- remember?" Laura says. "People don't like my singing." I say. "Oh, they don't? Come here." Mya says. She grabs my hand and we go to a light post. "See the poster?" She asks. A poster has a picture of me on it and some words about watching me sing. "Follow me to the alley." She says. We go to the alley, and there's all of the posters up there, there is my name on the walls, and then two people in the corner. "Oh.. hi." I say. "Ernie, it's Aria!" A boy says. A man wakes up and stares at me. "Oh it is!" He says. The boy has blond hair and blue eyes. "Uh- yeah. Hi." I say. "You're like famous!" The boy says. "Told you." Mya says. "Oh, thanks." I say. "Sorry, I'm Parker, this is my dad Ernie." The boy says. "Oh, hi Parker. We should be going." I say. "Oh that's okay. I'm a big fan. I really like you. Oh, you gotta go. See ya!" He says, smiling at me. I wave and smile and then we leave and walk down the street some more.
We find a big crowd around some people. We decide to see what's happening. We make our way through the crowd and find the boys of One Direction trying to get past. We make our way to the front. Laura and Mya stand off close to Harry. I get next to Louis. "Hey! Let them through!" I yell. The squealing stops, but nobody moves. "She said let them through!" Laura shouts. The crowd scatters except for about 35 people. "Shoo!" Mya yells. "We'll give you 5 seconds!" Laura yells. "Okay, if you aren't going to move." I say, stepping up. Then the rest of the crowd runs off. The boys must think we're crazy. "That was so cool." Louis says. "Thank-you I've been practicing." I say. "You've been practicing yelling." Niall laughs. "No, but it sounded different in my head." I say and then I laugh. We start walking. "Hey, nice shirt." Louis says. "Thanks." I say. "But you know it needs something." Louis says. "What?" I say. He takes his backpack off- I didn't know he had one on. He hands me some suspenders. I laugh. "These are yours." I say. "Suspenders are cool, like Nemo. And carrots." He laughs. "For Nemo!" I say, and put on the suspenders. They are gray suspenders. He puts on some red suspenders. "They're perfect for each other." Harry whispers- but I can hear him.
