I wake up and then I stand up. I wake Louis up and then we both wake up everyone else. "Cereal, anyone?" I ask. They all nod and I fix us cereal. We sit in the living room and eat our cereal. "What are we doing today?" Laura asks. "Why do you ask me that, everyday?" I ask. "It's your house." Laura says. "Well, I know one thing we're doing. Shopping." I say. "For clothes?" Mya asks excitedly. "You can go to the clothes section. I hate clothes shopping." I say. "So where are you shopping, then?" Mya asks. "The food section." I say. "I'll just look around." Laura says. "I'll be with Laura." Zayn smiles at her. "I'll be with Mya." Harry says. "I'm just gonna walk." Niall says. "I can go with Niall." Liam says. "I'll be with Aria." Louis says.
We finish eating and then we all get ready. We walk to the store and then we go our separate ways. Louis and I get a basket, then we walk to the food. We get the food that I need and then we start to just walk. We take turns holding the basket. "So, do you like Parker?" Louis asks. "No, I don't. Why?" I ask. "Can't a Suspender Buddy ask their Suspender Buddy if they like someone?" Louis asks. I laugh. We hear screaming and then Louis's tackled by some girl. "Who are you?" He asks. "I'm you biggest fan, Louis Tomlinson!" She says. I try to pull the girl off of Louis, as he tries to push the girl off of him. I stand in front of Louis. "Hey! Get off of him!" I shout. She looks at me. She stands up. "Sorry, didn't know Louis had a girlfriend! Oh, that's exciting! Bye!" She says and then runs off. I help Louis up and then I start to laugh. "She sure does love you." I laugh.
We hear screaming again and then I am pushed to the floor. "Ari, Ari, Ari! ARIA! LOOK. LOOK. LOOK!" Laura shouts. She calls me Ari sometimes. "Get off of me." I say. Louis laughs. I smile and then I look at Laura. Zayn is jogging towards us. "She picked it up and ran off screaming." Zayn says, catching his breath. "Picked what up?" I ask. "This magazine." She says. "You pushed me to the ground for a magazine." I say. "The correct term is tackle. Anyways, look who's on the cover." She says. She gives me the magazine and stands next to me. Louis looks at it too, and then Zayn comes over to look. "The Mystery Girl With Louis Tomlinson." Laura reads the big words. It has a big picture of me with Louis on the merry go round and the park. "Turn to the page." She says. I start flipping through the pages and find two pages filled with pictures of Louis and me at the park. On the swings, the tire swing, the see saw, the merry go round. I can't believe I'm in the magazine.
"Who is the mystery girl with Louis Tomlinson at this park?" Zayn reads. "We asked people this question. Aria Bell is a singer well known in her town. Meeting up with One Direction must have been amazing for her. Louis Tomlinson and Aria seem to both be kids at heart, and like to joke around. Are Aria and Louis dating? We hope to find out soon, possibly from Louis Tomlinson, himself." Laura reads. We see Niall and Liam. Laura screams and runs off to show them, and then Zayn follows. "Dating." I repeat quietly. Louis stays silent. "We were only at the park the other day, how'd they get that out so quickly?" I ask. "Those magazine people will take out anything if there's a better story someone might like better than the last. Plus, these people work really fast." Louis says. I look over at Niall and Liam who are looking at the magazine. "Wonder why." I say quietly.
We start walking again, but we aren't talking. Then Louis speaks up, "You okay, I mean you fell off the merry go round and took a fall today." I laugh. "Hey, I'm fine. Are you? You're the one that fell the hardest." I say. "I'm fine." He laughs. He starts laughing more. "Was is that funny when I was tackled?" He laughs. "Yeah, it was. I was trying not to laugh, just in case you were hurt." I say. "If I was watching me get tackled I probably would've laughed my butt off." He says. After a while we all meet up, and Laura still has the magazine. We buy the stuff and go home. "This is awesome you're in a magazine!" Laura says. "It's not that big of a deal." I say. "You're. In. A. Magazine. DID YOU NOT JUST HEAR HER?" Mya says. "Yeah, I did." I say. "A MAGAZINE." They say. "Yeah, it's just a magazine." I say. "With you in it." Laura points out. "That makes it special? I'm just me. Aria Bell." I say.
"She's keeping it casual." Louis laughs. "What's that supposed to mean?" I ask. "Oh come on, you can't say you aren't the least bit excited." Louis smiles. "Fine. But it isn't that big of a deal, really." I smile at him. I fix them lunch, and we all eat. "Did you get tackled?" Niall asks me. "By who?" I ask. "Laura." He says. "Yes. Almost killed me." I say, though I'm smiling. "We didn't even see her coming. We heard screaming. Then she ran into the middle of us, knocking us down." Liam says. "Louis got tackled by a screaming fan." I say. Louis smiles at me. "Aria, saved me." He says pushing me a bit. Louis and I are on the couch, the rest of them are spread out across the room. "Who knew that you can get someone off by just yelling 'Hey! Get off of him!' and pulling on them." I say. "She thought it was exciting because she thought that Aria was my girlfriend." Louis says. "That was funny. 'Oh, that's exciting!'" I say, laughing. Louis's laughing too. The rest of them just stare at us.
We watch TV and talk and laugh. Then I fix supper, nothing big though. We all eat. Louis and I decide to go outside. We sit on the sidewalk. "You know neither of us wore suspenders today." I say. He laughs. "Guess I just got lost." He says. "In what?" I ask. "If I said, your eyes, would that make me crazy?" He asks. I stare at him for a second. "Surprisingly, no. Not at all." I say. He looks at me. Then we kiss. When we stop, we both stare at the road. "Should we have done that?" He asks. "I don't know. I... kinda liked it." I say. He smiles, but he won't look at me. "About the magazine..." He begins. I look at him. "What if we... if we were a..." He stops. "A couple?" I ask. He nods, and swallows. "What would happen?" He asks. "We'd be best friends and a couple." I say. "What if something went wrong?" He asks. "You will always be my best friend." I say. He smiles. Then he looks at me. "Should we try it then?" He asks. "Do you want to?" I ask. "Of course I do. I've liked you since the day at Mya's party. You're amazing. But do you?" He asks. "Of course." I say. We kiss again, and I feel better than I ever have before.
"They're going to freak out, you know." I say. "Yeah." He says. "Mya and Laura are going to scream I already know that." I say. We start laughing. We walk inside and sit back down. Surprisingly nobody says anything about what Louis and I just did, they just continue their conversation. "Should we tell them?" Louis whispers, really quietly. I think about it. "As friends, I think they deserve to know. But before we go to bed." I whisper back. After a while, we all get ready for bed. We sleep like we did yesterday. Louis and I lay on our backs, he looks at me. "Now?" He whispers. "Yeah, wonder how they'll take it." I whisper. "Hey, guys?" Louis speaks up. "Yeah." They all mumble. "We should tell you something." I say. "Yeah?" Mya says, sleepily. Louis clears his throat. "Aria and I are a couple." He says. It's completely silent for a second and then Laura and Mya jump up and start screaming. I laugh and turn over. "We're happy for you. We'll show you how happy, tomorrow. I'm.. tired." Harry yawns. Laura and Mya sit down after a while and go to sleep. I smile at Louis and he takes my hand. "Night." I say. I close my eyes and start to go to sleep when Louis says, "Good-night Nemo."
