It's Better In Black & White ✎ n.h.

Chapter 13

Paige's POV

"Spill it!" Lauren practically shouted as soon as I walked through the door.

I told her how everything went; everything Niall and I talked about. I even had to ignore her wide-eyed expression when I told her that Niall knew about Derek.

 Afterwards I pushed her to tell me about her date with Liam. Apparently he took her out to eat Mexican food and they ended up doing karaoke.

The bright smile on her face was proof enough of the fun time she had with him. If things kept going this way I would need to have a very serious talk with the British heartthrob. Lauren already was like my best friend and I only wanted her to be happy, and as much of a sweetheart that Liam is, he was still a guy so I had to lay down some ground rules. 

After the excitement of each of our nights died down a bit, we both went to bed. 

We were woken up by knocking on the door, which we later discovered it was our supervisor Micheal. Apparently we were going on a tour of the Museum of Art in London with the whole group of winners. 

Once Mike had left, we debated what we were going to wear. 

"If you wear a freaking sweatshirt I swear I'm gonna kill you" I threatened.  Lauren gave me a shocked expression. 

"What's wrong with sweatshirts?" she questioned.

"Nothing, but you never know who you might bump into, so you better make yourself presentable" I said.

She gave me a dead stare. 

"Fine! But you are not going to look all sweet and innocent like you always do. You need to look sexy and badass. Make all these British guys drool over you" she challenged.

"I don't have 'badass' clothes" I whined.

"But I do" she replied with a devilish smile.

"Okay, fine. But I get to choose you clothes as well" I demanded. Lauren shrugged like she didn't care, but she was wrong to be so nonchalant, I was going to make her look drop-dead gorgeous... well you know, more than she already is.

We both picked clothes for the other, and many complaints were spoken aloud but at the end we had to keep our word and got dressed; me on the bathroom and Lauren on the bedroom. Once we were ready we faced each other.

"Holy shit you look hot!" Lauren shrieked excitedly. 

She had made me wear dark blue skinny jeans, a Jack Daniels black sleeveless t-shirt and black converse. I decided to put on my silver cross ring. Lauren lent my her black leather backpack so I could carry my camera, wallet, phone and anything else I might need for the day. (Click here for outfit)

I ignored her and just stared her up and down, "You look Amazing!" I said in awe. I had decided I wanted her to look good, but simple. No point in her being 'overdressed' or whatever. So I chose a white button up shirt that went tied into a knot a little above the belly button; ripped, light blue skinny jeans, white vans and Lauren being superhero obsessed, put on her Superman silver necklace and diamond earring to go with it. I lent her my white cheetah backpack for her to carry her stuff. (Click here for outfit)

"Now we're ready to go" Lauren said with a grin; one that I couldn't stop myself from returning. 

We locked our hotel room door and reached the elevator. We were surprised at who we bumped into once the doors slid open. One Direction, of course. 

Once they realized it was us, their eyes practically bulged out of their sockets and their mouths hung open while their gazes traveled up and down our bodies.
