Chapter 3 - Revelation

Reina

I wake up the next morning with a huge headache and the alarm won't stop blaring. I'm a little nervous today the band is coming for a fitting and we finally get to meet them. Of course Sophia, Nik and Nova already know them. I sighs turning my head towards Nik's bed. She is already awake. I get up and go take a shower and get ready. I pull my hair back into a high ponytail, apply some powder and mascara, the mascara making my eyes stand out, and go downstairs.

"Good morning Kari." I say coming in the kitchen. She looks up and smiles at me. Her short hair is slightly wet at the tips.

"Morning sis, Sophia is waiting for us downstairs." Karina's gazing down at the Teen Vogue magazine she's reading.

"Oh. All right let me just grab a banana." There is a whole fruit bowl full of them in the middle of the counter. I take the yellowest one. "Come on then." Kari puts down the magazine and follows me downstairs. Lee and Nik are sitting on the floor talking. While Nova is helps her mother sew a button onto a red blazer.

"What can I do to help?" Kari asks ready to get to work.

"You can help me by taking those clothes and putting them on the hangers." Sophia says looking up for only a brief moment. She looks a little stressed but has an easy smile on her face.

Kari nods "Okay" and gets to work. The doorbell rings and everyone goes silent.

Sophia looks up at me and smiles rather excitedly. "They're here. Reina dear could you get the door and bring them down?"

"Sure Sophia." The butterflies in my stomach are going crazy as I walk upstairs. I reach the door and take a breath. I slowly turn the knob and open the door. I am utterly surprised by the familiar blonde boy who is standing in front of me.

"Niall?" I look next to him to find Harry looking at me like I'm an alien. "Harry?" What is going on here?

"Reina? What are you doing here?" Harry asks me looking surprised.

"What do you mean what am I doing here? I live here." I say like it was the most obvious answer. He just stares at me and I can see the wheels turning in his head.

"Wait you live here? You live with Sophia?" Liam asks walking up the steps with Louis and Zayn following behind.

"Yes. What are YOU doing here?" I ask totally flustered and confused.

"We're here for our fitting." Louis says joining the conversation.

My eyes get big when I realize who they are."You're One Direction." I whisper to myself. This can't be happening. "You're One Direction." I say looking up at Harry. "You didn't think telling me you are part of the most famous band in the UK is a very important detail for me to know?." My voice rises and the boys just stare at me. I must look as mad as I feel.

"Reina what's taking so long?" Lee interrupts us her eyes widening at the sight of the boys.

Nik is standing beside her. "Hey guys!" Niall looks at her and his face lights up. She looks at him smiling and he gives her a big hug. "I missed you. I mean I missed all of you!" She says looking a little embarrassed.

"Smooth Nik." Louis smiles teasingly.

"I didn't miss you." Nik glares at him then looks at the rest of us. "Come on downstairs. Mom's waiting for you." Nik makes a weird face noticing the tension between me and Harry. "What's going on? Reina do you know the boys?"

"Yes. We met her yesterday at Charlie's. But she already knew Harry." Zayn informs casually smiling at Nik.

I just stare at Harry. There is an awkward silence then Nik finally speaks. "Well don't just stand there mum is waiting." Nik grabs Lee who has just been standing there unable to speak and pulls her down the stairs to the basement. Niall, Liam, Zayn and Louis follow her but Harry stays behind. I glare at him still a little mad.
