Alice's POV:

Remember when I said I hated Esmee? That was a lie. It's always been a lie. I've had a crush on her in middle school. In high school. Every time I would try to get over her, but I would stick to her like a moth to a flame. It's not just a 'simple crush', no, it has turned into somewhat of an obsession. It's not like I have posters of her on my walls, but I would murder someone for her. She does not like me back, but I've accepted that fact a long time ago. I'm just the girl from her class who stares at her way too often. I kinda look like a creep ngl, or a psycho. It's still incredibly crazy to me that I still like the person who has disliked me all my life. It's like I am addicted to her, even though she's toxic. Oh, what I'd do for her to love me like I love her.

To distract myself from my daily thoughts, I go shopping with my dads. They obviously don't know about my crush on Esmee, otherwise they would never shut up about it. But we all needed to but christmas presents anyway, as that is in a week already. We all got a list what we need to buy, having spoken about what we would get the others, except for obviously each other. My dads are giggly the whole ride to the mall, acting like complete teenagers. How can even your parents make you feel single? "Remember when we got married and a reindeer crashed our wedding Kev? It was absolute chaos!" Dad says, after having reminisced about a memory for the 100th time. Eventually, after hearing wayyy too much, I just decide to blast my music on the radio as loud as I can. Paparazzi by Lady Gaga. Great pick by what my thoughts were this morning. "I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me, Papa-paparazzi." I sing along. 

Apparently I sang along with it way too loud, and with way too many emotions in my voice, as my dads look at me weirdly. "Are you ok?" Nico asks, half jokingly, half not. "Yeah, I just really love this song." Also half a lie. "Okay sweetie, if you say so!" Kev says, not sounding fully convinced, but not wanting to push further. Luckily, the next song comes on. Yay, lucky me, Into you by Ariana Grande came on. A smart shufle, but a perfect pick for my situation right now. 

As we arrive at the mall, my dads start talking to me about university. I am studying Architecture, and I am currently in the 3rd year of my Architectural study, in the same year as you-know-who, only she will finish a year earlier then me. Because she is following a history major, studying to be a history teacher. As soon as we walk in the mall, I spot someone with F1 merch. This happens more often then you think it does, as there are quite a few F1 fans. Oh yes, there he comes, running up to both of my dads, who are... Still holding hands? Oh shit, the public does not know I exist. Well, social media is going to have a field day with this one.

"Got the wrong merch on?" Dad (Kevin) says to the girl wearing a Mercedes cap. "Want the real best team?" Papa (Nico) says, and the girl just nods, her mouth having fallen over from shock, and I dont know if it was at the sight of them holding hands, seeing them with an unknown girl who looks suspiciously like them, or just at the sight of them. While my dads are signing the cap, I go up to her, might as well yk? "Hey, are you alright?" She looks up at me. "Ye-yeah, just shocked at everything, but not to be mean, but who are you? And why were you walking with Kevin and Nico?" I consider lying, but you know, fuck it! "Hi, I am Alison and I am the daughter of Kevin and Nico Hulkenberg!" Great way! Just drop the bomb immediatly I guess!
