LAURENCE'S POV

We have been waiting in the back of the Apple Store for 30 minutes and my patience is wearing thin. I can tell that Lexi is getting tired as well. We just stayed in line for several hours, and I knew she would get antsy and hungry after such a boring day (therefore I brought the granola bar, but she already ate that).

I am still extremely confused as to why Harry and Niall recognized me, because I've never met them in my whole life. Although I'm no fangirl, I would surely remember those green eyes if I had seen them.

Finally, after what seems like hours, the door burst open and in comes Louis Tomlinson.

"AHH!" He screams.

"What?" I yell, equally frightened.

"How'd you get in here? Are you a part of the press?" He urges.

"What? No! Funny story, Harry and Niall actually invited-" I try to say.

"Security! Our location has been leaked," he shouts, cutting me off. He motions to two buff men to join us.

I watch helplessly as they start approaching us.

"What are you-"

"Ouch, stop grabbing my arm like that!"

"Ew, keep your fucking hands off-"

"YOU'RE HURTING MY ARM YOU DICK"

Lexi and I are screeching while being dragged towards the entrance of the store. Right when we are about to officially get kicked out, Harry and Niall arrive, chuckling about something.

I am still shouting at the security guard to let go of my arm: he has an iron grip on me!

"Woah, what's going on here? Put those girls down," Harry orders.

I am immediately released. I grab my arm and sure enough, red handprints are printed there. There will be bruising there tomorrow, without a doubt.

"What the hell is going on?" He demands while bringing me close to his side, inspecting my arm.

I shrug uncomfortably, I don't like people touching and scrutinizing me.

"Those two are a part of the press, they've probably leaked our location," Louis says.

"That's bull Lou, I invited them to eat lunch with us," Harry replies in an annoyed tone.

"Shit, sorry mate." He turns around to look at us. "Sorry girls, I should've heard you out. My apologies."

Lex looks like she is about to cry, but she doesn't seem out in pain. Then I realize that she is probably fangirling over Louis Tomlinson talking to her, on top of Niall Horan and Harry Styles being present in the room.

"It's fine, really," she smiles brightly and gives me a look that I interpret as "Don't ruin this moment for me or I will stop talking to you forever". Or something along those lines.

"Yeah, I'm really sorry about all this, this isn't how I wanted to properly introduce myself to you girls. Hi I'm Niall," he says sheepishly. I wave as Niall hugs the crazy girl I like to call my best friend.

"And I'm Harry." he says smoothly.

"I already knew that!" Lexi blurts out, widening her eyes after she realizes what she just said.

The boys just shrug it off, probably used to girls reacting this way to their presence.

"Hi, I'm Laurence," I state awkwardly, breaking the silence. I still have no idea what we are doing here.
