I like it that way | Michael Clifford

Chapter 2

The only thought they both hear in their minds is: act normal, so they both do that, but it looks like they are trying to... pose? They are in the most embarrassing poses I've ever seen. Emily turns to the side, her hands on her waist, head high in the air and fake smile, Lia is even more embarrassing, because somehow she thought that if she will put her right fist under her chin and with left arm supporting her right, will make her look cool, but this girls are dying right now. I feel sorry for them and I think that the guys have the same thoughts as me too, because they all just stare at them and then they look over to Luke, a moment later they are all laughing so hard, they can barely stand.

"Nice posing, should I take a picture?" A tall boy with dark brown hair, brown eyes and some tattoos on his arm says.

"Pff, sure." Lia is the first one to speak, she really has this quick thinking brains and she is never out of the words.

"Guys this is Lia, she is weird, I like her." Luke says to the guys, slightly smiling over to Lia.

"And this is Emily, her best friend, she doesn't talk much. And these are Ash, Cal and Mikey." Luke continues. The guys all look over to Luke and to the girls again, before deciding to be a gentlemans they step up to the girls and introduce themselves.

"Hi, I'm Michael." The boy with black hair, with blue, red and feather-ish highlights says to Lia, he is the last one to introduce himself and then, they all know each other. Lia is looking into Michael green eyes and something tells her, that he is, like you know, the most "ladies man".

"Hi, I'm Lia." She just smiles and then they stand in circle.

"So, what are you guys doing here?" A boy named Ashton, is asking them. Ash is the most talkative one, he is also the funniest. His personality is identical to Lias.

"Funny story, actually." Lia says and look over to Emily, she is already looking at her. All the boys eyes are traveling from Lia to Em, in curiosity, who are these weird/awesome girls, they are kind of amazed by them.

"Well, I like funny and story." Calum jumps in with his a little raspy voice.

"Okay... so..." Lia is trying to tell the truth, but she is kinda embarrassed, by the fact that she didn't know who they are.

"So, we are actually here to be in your video." Emily gather the courage and finally speaks, Lia send hers "finally" look.

"Look, she can speak english." Luke jokes and they all laugh.

"So you two are fans then?" Michael is curious,who is he dealing with, for some reason he keeps his eyes at Lia at all the times, it's like he is deciding if she is hot, or not.

"Actually, funny story again." Lia starts.

"I like funny and story." Calum repeat himself, he sends Lia a flirty smile with a wink. It looks like he is trying to get her attention... Well maybe he does.

"Okay, so..." Lia is mumbling, looking over to Luke, with a hope he will save her. She doesn't know why, but, she just feels so ashamed, by the fact she didn't even google them, or listen to their music or something. She thinks, she will give a wrong impression, like she don't care, which is kinda true, because she is more of aJustin Bieber fan, but she does care, really.

"Soo... Lia here, she didn't have a clue who I was, so she is not a fan, but I'm guessing Emily is?" Luke sends Emily a question look and she nod in agreement, letting them know that she kinda likes them.

"So you didn't even hear our music yet?" Ashton is looking at Lia with surprised look.

"Ugghhh, nope." Lia puts his hands in the air, like she will be arrested and squeezes her eyes. She hears laughter, so she decide to open her eyes, first left, just a little bit, she picks through, when she sees that everyone, including Em are laughing, she lowers her hands and laugh with them.

"Thank god, I thought you are gonna attack me or something." She jokes.

"Yeah sure, I almost eat you, because I'm hungry and then, we will see in the news, Luke Hemmings eats his..." He pauses and look over the circle... "eats a girl, because she didn't listen 5sos songs." He ends dramatically and he earns some taps on his shoulder and high fives form the boys.

"But, when you will hear our song, you will be in love, I'm telling you our music is like a song from a mermaid, you know, when she curses all the sailors and blablabla." Michael eyes still lock on Lia.

"So you are basically saying, that I will be in love with.... you?" She points at Michael with her right index finger.

"That's right." Michael smiles proudly.

"Well, we'll see about that, Mr. All confidant." Lia is feeling proud at her comment, and all the boys plus Em goes "OOh, good one." and laugh. 

Lia and Michael are staring right at eachother without even a blinking.

"Yeah, we'll see about that." He rase his eyebrows at Lia. He just challenge her, and Lia is like "allergic" to the challenges and too confident people, which Michael is both.

"Oh, shit, Liana!" Emily suddenly screams, making everybody jump a little.

"What?" Lia turns to Em.

"We totally lost Frankie." Emily remembers, that they should be following him, but they didn't...

"What, you know Frankie?" Ashton jumpy voice feels the silent.

"Duh, he's my uncle." Lia says like it's soo obvious, like they look exactly the same or something.

"Shut up..., he is like the best dude ever." Michael is pumped up.

"So, just like I am like the best chick ever." Lia says in a joking tone, hoping that everyone, but Michael knows she is joking. He just look at her and send her a smirk.

"Come with us, we know where he is." Luke starts to walk in a direction the boys came before.

"Oh thank you." Emily and Lia both say in sync. They start to walk, somehow Luke, Ash and Em are walking slightly ahead of Miky, Cal and Lia.

"So, you do realize, if you are staying with Frankie, we'll be a neighbors, right?" Michael says to Lia, she looks first over to Calum, who send her a smile and then to Michael.

"Oh joy. But what are you even doing in the band?" She change a subject. Cal and MIchael both laugh.

"Well, Michael is the lead guitarist, Luke is lead vocal and guitarist, Ash is drummer and me, I'm the bassist and we all kinda sing, even Ashton."Calum explains to Lia, she is taking all in and then she remembers something and with her personality she can'T hold it in.

"So.. I've heard that basissts have like really big hands, if you know to what am I referring to?" She says shy and Michael and Calum both look at each other with a shock then they both laugh.
