The List...

Chapter 2

I walked in the door and Simon was standing there on his cell phone. I swear he is glued to that thing.

"Alright, we will be there soon." He hung up and walked over to me.

"So where were you actually?" He said grabbing his keys.

"With Sara getting lunch" I shrugged and looked into the mirror pretending to be interested.

"Well that funny cause I called her brother and shes with him." I silently cursed Niall under my breath.

"I was with Nick ok?" I said walking to the door. 

I walked out and over to the car waiting for him to catch up. He walked over and unlocked the doors. I quickly jumped in and faced towards the window.

"You shouldnt hang out with that kid. Harry.."

"Harry and I arent really dating! And neither are Nick and I, hes just my friend." 

We drove in silence the rest of the way. Once we pulled up to the hotel I put my smile on. That was one rule I absouloutly could not disobey. Simon had to look good for the press. So having a "braty" step daughter was definatly what he didnt want.

We walked out and he put his arm around my shoulder. I forced a smiled and we walked in. Once we were inside he took his arm off me and I relaxed a little. We walked up to the room and knocked. Liam answered and let us in.

There is 5 boys in the band. Liam-sweetest guy, and a great friend.- Zayn-kinda quiet but super caring-Louis-Loud and obnoxious but a real sweetheart-Niall-My best friend out of the guys. Very funny.- And lastly Harry.-Cheeky guy, He along with Niall is my best friend out of the group. They are One direction.

I ran over and sat in between Niall and Sara. Sara is Nialls sister, and they girl harry likes.Shes also my age and pretty much my only girl friend. I rested my head on Niall and whispered to him.

"Thanks for covering for me.. Not" He turned red and I shoved him playfully. He laughed, showing his braces.

Simon stood in the middle of the room." Alright plans for today, get photographed. Album comes out in a week and we want you on every newstand."

"Whats the plan uncle simon?" Zayn piped up

"Niall, you and sara are having sibling bonding.Go shopping." He threw Niall a black credit card and Niall smiled.

"No problem there. Right Sara?"

"Oh definatly not" They laughed.

"Zayn you have a date with Perrie Edwards. Your new girlfriend. Did you reserch her?" Zayn sighed.

"Yes" I shot him an apoligictic look. He didnt want a fake girlfriend. But she was in a famous girl group so she would bring a lot of publicity.

Fake dating was something Simon thought was genius. He had already made Zayn fake date rebecca fergeson and some others. He tried to get Niall to fake date Demi lovato but she said no. Then he made Harry fake date me. But that wasnt as awkward because Harry and I are friends. Zayn barely talks to these girls.

"Louis you and Eleanor can go wherever.Liam same for you and Danielle" They got free range because they were actually dating.He threw Louis a gold credit card. And threw a simliar looking one to Zayn and Liam.

"And finally Harry. You and Darcy have free range as well. But try and stay in popular places. If you go to lunch, eat outside etc. Got it?" Harry and I nodded. Simon looked to me and I pulled out a black credit card and handed it to harry.

"Alright, im off." Simon said and then he quickly exited the room. I waited a minute until I sighed in relif.

"Hate. Him." I muttered. 

Eleanor, Louis, Liam and Danielle got up and waved to us. They planned a double date. Once they were gone Zayn went to meet Perrie. He waved to us and I gave him a reassuring smile.  Niall turned to me.

"Starbucks all of us together? Then we can branch off and do our job?" I nodded and so did harry and sara.

I grabbed my bag and we went down the eleavator. We headed out of the hotel. Time to turn on the charm. I looked at Harry and we both nodded and laughed. He grabbed my hand and kissed my cheek. There were screaming girls and paperazzi everywhere. I just smiled and tried ignoring them. We walked to starbucks and waited in line. It was pretty emtpy, thank god. A minute of quiet.

"Darce we still on for tomorrow?" sara asked while harry ordered for me. I flashed her a smile and but shook my head.

"Hanging with Nick, but tomorrow night is good" She smiled.

The lady handed us our drinks and Sara and Niall headed off. Harry and I sat down and tried to figure out what to do.

"I still vote me giving you a surf lesson.." He srunched up his face.

"But Dar thats embaressing. Im gonna fall." I chuckled.

"Haz, do you have any better ideas?" He shook his head. Then he whipped out his phone and texted his manager to ask him to bring our stuff. He looked up and smiled.

"So Darce we havnt talked in a while. How are you?"

"Im good. Applying to Uni this week"

"Nice, royal academy?" I gave him a fake gasp and he chuckled.

"Im surprised you still remeber!"

"Hey!Give me some credit!" We both laughed. Suddenly his phone buzzed. He opened the text and sighed.

"Zayn says his having an awful time."

"I feel so bad for him." I sighed

"Thats why im glad your my fake girlfriend. Cause your my best friend so its not awkward." I smiled.

"I really think you should stand up to simon. I know you and sara.." He cut me off.

"I just cant Darce..." His manager walked in and handed us our stuff. I ran to the change room to throw my bikini on under my clothes. I came out and harry was waiting. He held out his arm and smiled.

"Shall we?"

"Come on Dork, time to learn how to surf!" He faked a look of hurt and we made our way to the beach.
