Will We Click? [A One Direction / Harry Styles fanfiction]

Uninterested? Really?

CHAPTER 9

“I can’t believe I’m finally meeting you guys!” Hanna squealed.

“I can’t believe it either.” Whispered Niall, just loud enough for us lads to hear, earning himself a hit from Zayn that clearly said “shut up.”

“Sorry?” Hanna asked, she obviously heard Niall speaking but probably didn’t make out what he said.

“I said it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Niall covered up surprisingly smoothly.

Of course, before making actual conversation we took obligatory pictures with Hanna, some (okay, one) formal, the rest being wacky. Our crew told us she could stay a bit longer than the rest given she was the last one we’d meet today, anyway, much to Hanna’s (and our) delight.

“How long have you been a fan?” Liam asked, making conversation. Hanna was going on about how she wasn’t really a big fan since the x factor. She actually told us there was this point in time that she didn’t like us, but she eventually ended up being a huge fan. We didn’t mind, actually. To be honest I liked her honesty. Some fans would rub it in our faces sometimes that they’ve been supporting us since the x factor. We appreciate that you’re there from the start, don’t get us wrong! But we personally think that it doesn’t matter who’s supporting us from the beginning, what really matters is who supports us until the end. Finally after some time, Zayn voiced out the question that’s been lingering in my mind for the past minutes.

“Hey did you go here all alone?” Zayn asked when Hanna finished talking.

“No, actually I’m with my—.” She started but I cut her off by saying “Why don’t you let her come backstage?” with a smile. I know it must have sounded rude but I got excited. What if it was Becca? Was it finally my time to meet her? The lads gave me the look that said ‘wow obvious much?’ but I couldn’t care less. I wasn’t going to let this opportunity pass!

“Really?” She looked happy. “But she doesn’t have a pass.” She said, looking down all of a sudden.

“It’s alright!” Niall said. “Paul can go with you so security can let her in.”

Hanna squealed in delight and thanked us before going off with Paul to fetch her friend.

“You really couldn’t be any more obvious, Harry.” Liam said, looking at me as soon as Hanna was out of earshot.

“It’s not like I couldn’t keep my eyes off her like somebody I know.” I smirked, defending myself and eyeing Louis. The others probably didn’t notice it but I glimpsed at Louis earlier and that look he was giving Hanna…

“I was not staring!” Louis defended himself.

“Didn’t say you were, boobear.” I said with a wink.

We waited for Hanna to come back with her friend, and we all were putting bets on whether it would be Aimee, Becca or both of them. Well obviously all of us bet on Becca since we argued that Aimee wouldn’t be that easy to persuade, given her taste in music. But Louis said it wouldn’t be a bet if we all go for the same thing so Niall switched and said it would be both of them.

Just then Hanna came in with someone walking behind her, we couldn’t see properly who it was, but we didn’t want to look creepy and move just to look, so we waited for her friend to come into view.

“Hi guys,” Hanna greeted us with a smile and I swear I felt Louis grinning so big beside me. “I’d like you to meet my cousin, Dana.” Cousin?? And then a girl about the same age as Hanna I guessed, with brown shoulder length hair, brown eyes, clad in a blue button up polo shirt, black shorts and blue converse stepped forward. “Hi!” Dana said, not being able to hide the happiness in her voice.
