I wake up and then I stand up. I see Niall's in a chair, and Zayn's on the ground holding Laura's hand. I feel a hand on my shoulder and it scares me. "What are we looking at, Nemo?" Louis asks. I didn't know he was up. "When'd you get up?" I ask. "About ten minutes ago." He says. "You scared me." I say. He smiles. "Carrot?" He asks holding out a carrot. "Thanks. Wait, where'd you get a carrot?" I ask. "Cabinet." He says and then eats a carrot. I eat my carrot and then we wake everyone up. "It's like four in the-" Harry begins. "It is 8:46AM." I say. He opens his eyes. "Oh yeah." He says. Mya kisses him. "What are we doing today?" Zayn yawns, still holding Laura's hand. "I think we should stay home today. Do something outside in Aria's yard." Liam says. "Oh yeah! We're going outside." Mya smiles. Mya starts dancing. We all eat cereal and then get ready to go outside.
When we go outside the sun is shining and it's hot. "So what are we going to do, play a game? Run around?" Harry asks. "No, Harry. We're going to sit around and watch the sun go down." Laura says, trying not to smile. "That sounds boring." Harry says. "Dude, she's being sarcastic." I laugh. Laura and I start laughing, and then Harry does too. Mya picks up something. "Hey, a baseball." She says. She gets in throwing position. "Mya, I wouldn't throw that." Laura says. "Why not?" Mya asks. "No offence Mya, but you aren't the... most athletic person in the world." I say. "Oh come on, I think I can throw a baseball." She says. I back away from her. "Might wanna duck." I whisper to Louis. I slowly ease to the ground and so does Laura. Louis stares at me and then crouches next to me. "Why?" He asks. Mya throws the baseball really hard. It hits something black in my yard and it bounces back. I drop to the ground as it flies right where I was crouching and then hits and breaks one of the garden gnomes Laura got me and breaks it. "That's why." I say standing up again.
"Mya you could've killed Aria." Laura says. "Sorry Aria! And that garden gnome... he was, um, so old anyways. I did him a favor." Mya says. "It's okay." I laugh. I pick up the baseball. "Mya, come here." I say. I walk out on the road. I make sure no cars are coming. "Watch this. Then you can try." I say. I throw the baseball really hard and it flies down the road and then bounces to a stop a few houses down. I run and get the ball and give it to her. "Throw straight down the road." I say. She throws the ball, it doesn't go far but at least it didn't get close to hurting anyone. "Good job." I say. "I know, I'm awesome." She smiles. Harry hugs her and then kisses her. "Yeah, you are." He says. I get the ball and come back. We play hide and seek a lot. All the games of hide and seek it was either Laura or me to win. Then we take a break. "You two sure are good at hide and seek." Liam says. "We've been playing hide and seek together since we were five. We still do. We're kids at heart. And hide and seek is, like, our all time favorite game." I laugh. Laura laughs too and hugs me.
"Oh look there's Parker." Mya says. I look to the sidewalk where he's walking. He doesn't even notice us. "Let's go say hi." Mya says. "Fine." I say. "You guys wanna come? He's our friend." Laura says. They nod. Zayn and Laura hold hands and walk towards him. Mya and Harry hold hands and do the same. I walk next to Louis. "Do you like Parker?" He whispers. "No, but why would you care?" I ask, confused. "Oh no reason." He says. I look at him and smile then he smiles back. I look at Parker and then say, "Hey Parker." He turns around. "Oh hi, Aria!" He smiles. "Guys this is Parker. Parker these are my friends Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, and Liam Payne." I say. "Nice to meet you." Louis says. "One Direction, right?" Parker asks. "Yeah." Harry says. "Cool. I guess famous people know famous people." Parker says. I laugh. "I should be going. Ernie is waiting. Bye, though." Parker says. "Bye." I say.
He waves and runs off. I smile and then we all run back to my house. Everyone sits down but I stand up. A girl comes up and stares at Niall. "Niall?" She asks. Niall looks up at the girl. "Oh. Hi, Maggie." Niall says. "Oh sorry to interrupt. I'm Maggie Tess. Niall's..." She says and then she trails off. "Girlfriend might fit it." Laura suggests. "Yeah." Niall says. "I'm Niall's girlfriend." She smiles. I hold out my hand to shake. "Hi, I'm Aria Bell." I smile. "Hi." She says. "Oh this is One Direction, and my best friends Laura Bell, and Mya Carson." I say. "Oh cool, is this your house?" She asks. "Oh yeah." I say. "You know, I've seen you some where, but not in person. On the internet, maybe?" She asks. "Oh yeah, she's all over the internet, and on posters. She's like famous here." Laura stands up. "She's an amazing singer." Mya says. Laura and Mya stand next to me. "Thanks guys, but I'm not that amazing." I say. "Yes you are." Louis says. I smile at him.
"You seem really cool." Maggie says. "Thanks, you too." I say. "Oh I should be going." Maggie says. "Oh that's okay. Nice to meet you." I say. "Nice to meet you too." She says. "Bye everyone. Bye Niall." She says. "Bye." Niall says. Everyone waves and she walks off. "Oh, I'm gonna make our food, you go on and play or something. I'll be out in a bit." I say. They nod. I go in and start to fix hamburgers. Mya's and Laura's favorite food is hamburger we might as well have that to eat. Niall walks in and starts to help me. "I want you to know that I really like you. But I have to get over you. If I don't you and Louis will never be a couple. I met Maggie yesterday and we hit it off. She's my girlfriend and I like her. And it's gonna help me get over you." He says. "It's okay, Niall. Really it is." I say. He smiles. We fix the food. "It looks good." He says. I laugh and we walk outside.
"Food's ready!" I yell, because none of them are in sight. Nobody comes or even says anything. "Hey, Mya and Laura! We're having hamburgers!" I yell louder. Mya and Laura come running up. They stop when they see me. "Hamburgers?" Laura asks. I nod. Laura runs and hugs me. "You're the awesomest cousin ever!" She smiles. I laugh. Mya joins the hug. "You two are the awesomest friends ever." Mya says. "Where's the rest of them?" I ask. Our hug stops. "Hide and Seek." Mya says. "If you want food come here right now!" Laura shouts. The boys run up. "Right this way." I say and walk in my house. They follow me and we eat. After we eat we talk for a long time. Then we all get ready for bed. We say our goodnights- we all sleep like we did yesterday. "Good-night, Nemo." Louis whispers, smiling. "Night." I smile. He closes his eyes. I close mine too and then I go to sleep.
