"Hello? Carolyn? This is Mrs. Horan."
"Hello!" I squeal with delight.
"Hello dear! I spoke to Niall. He'd really like to see you again! We were wondering if our families can get together soon."
"Sure, how about Friday evening?"
"That sounds good. May I speak to your mother?"
"Sure," I say, and yell, "MUM! IT'S MRS. HORAN ON THE PHONE!!!"
"No need to scream, Carolyn," Mum said as she took the phone from my hand. "Hello?" Mrs. Horan? I'm good, and how are you?" Parents! When Mum hangs up the phone, she has a gigantic grin plastered across her face. "We're going to see Niall and his mother Friday evening. Are you excited?"
"I'm a little nervous, actually," I admitted. "I haven't seen Niall in a long time. What if he forgot about me?"
"Sweetheart, of course he didn't forget about you. After all, you two were inseparable."
"I just hope he remembers me," I say nervously as I pull on a strand of my brown hair. What will Niall think of me now?
Friday Night
Niall sees me before I see him.
"Carolyn!" He says and runs to hug me.
"Hi Niall! Long time, no see!" All of the heads in the restaurants turned to stare at us. Half a dozen teenage girls shriek,
"NIALL!" Suddenly we're mobbed by all the girls trying to hug Niall or get him to sign something. I realize that now that my best friend is famous, life will be totally different for him. We squeeze out of the crowd and Niall leads me outside.
"Hey Carolyn...I've always sort of liked you...more than a friend." My heart pounds faster.
"Really?"
"Yes. Will you go out with me?"
"Yes! A million times yes!" I hug Niall. I've been dreaming of this moment from the first time I met Niall. Now my dream has come true.
