Chapter 13 - Phone Hackers
I woke up the next morning to my alarm. It’s funny because I don’t remember setting one…
I unlocked my phone so the noise would stop ringing. However, the noise sounded an awful lot like the boys saying “Get Up Cas” over and over getting louder and louder each time. Once I unlocked my phone I found that I had a new background, of all the lads, and quite a few text messages, mostly from the lads. The messages from the lads all consisted of roughly the same message; “we put an alarm on your phone so you wouldn’t be late for work today!” and “hope you like your background (;”. Oh and Niall asked me to bring him breakfast to work because he was ‘starving’. I also got a message from Sammie, but instead of looking at the message I just texted her, because I knew what it would be about.
“Hello” Sammie sounded half asleep which was weird because she should have been at work for 2 hours already – her Dad is a builder so they get up at like 5am.
“Hey Sam, it’s me. A) why do you sound like you are still in bed and not at work? B) I’m sooooooooooooooooooooo sorry I didn’t come over last night or even call, I was kinda with the lads…” I trailed off my sentence hoping she would here.
“A) we don’t have to work ‘till later today ‘cause Dad’s morning job got cancelled and B) HOLLY TITS YOU ACTUALLY LIKE HUNG OUT WITH THEM?! SPENT TIME WITH THEM?!!! ON YOUR OWN ACCORD?!!!!” She practically screamed into the phone and I could hear her Dad yelling from his room telling her to be quiet.
“Yeah, well I thought about it and I don’t want to disappoint Dad anymore that I have. And Simon really likes me and I like him so I thought I should do it for him. And the lads said that ‘cause I’m not a lover I will be able to help them out heaps with their album and hopefully turn haters into likers or even lovers. And they want me to help them fix the songs, like re-write some of the lyrics. And Simon wants me to sing a song with the lads on the album. And what’s the point in doing all that if I don’t know them properly so we hung out and we had a good laugh and it was awesome. We played the Getting To Know You game.” I finished rambling and took a deep breath, processing all of what I had just said. I realised how much I may have lost just because I didn’t want to give the lads a chance. I’m glad I did, ‘cause they are pretty cool guys. But that’s it. They are just gonna be work colleagues and nothing more!
“That’s great I’m so happy for you!”
“Hey if you are not doing anything this morning, I’m about to get ready and go down to the studio, do you wanna come and meet them?”
“YES! I will be ready in like 30, pick me up?”
“Sure, but I have to get food for Niall on the way!” I laughed at how much I sounded like his girlfriend, even though I wasn’t, but it sounded like a girlfriend’s chore.
“Alrighty. Text me when you are out front!”
“Will do babe. Bya!”
“Catch ya!”
I hung up and realised I had 2 new messages on from Niall and one from Dad.
Niall (1 new message):
The rest of the lads want breakfast as well. Do you reckon you could go to McDonalds around the corner from the studio on your way in and ask for One Direction’s usual? They know what it means – Niall xxx
Really boys? A usual? I laughed and then replied a quick sure and then looked at my message from Dad.
Daddyyyyyy (1 new message):
Hey Cassie,
I had to go to work early, so you will have to drive yourself today, I also have to stay late so it will be better anyways. Drive safe ok!
Love Dad xxxx
I smiled at Dad’s message and replied to his message also letting him know that Sammie was coming for a little bit and hoping he won’t mind. I knew he wouldn’t ‘cause I bought her the first day I went to his work last time. Sammie is like a sister to me and another daughter to my parents. They buy her birthday and Christmas gifts and an Easter egg at Easter. Both our families are super close and we even celebrate each major holiday and birthday together.
I got up out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. I had a quick shower and then dried myself. I put my robe on – which I always left in the bathroom – and then did my make-up, foundation, eye liner, mascara, dark eye shadow and bright red lipstick. I then went back to my room and opened my curtains. It looked cold outside so I opted for my black skin tight skinny jeans, and rolled them up half way, of course. I grabbed out my Rollingstones t-shirt that came to just about my belly button, I put on my black vans and my leather jacket with my boater hat. I quickly looked in the mirror and smiled at my outfit for the day. I grabbed my black handbag and threw in my purse, earphones, lipstick and phone. I placed my sunnies on, grabbed my keys, walked downstairs and left the house.
I placed my phone on in my care as I didn’t want to listen to the radio – I like to just listen to my phone sometimes, ‘cause radio music annoys me. I unlocked my phone and went into my music and into my songs and hit shuffle. The first song that came on was What Makes You Beautiful. I didn’t really understand ‘cause I didn’t have this song on my phone, and it wasn’t even called WMYB it was under ‘Perfect’ by Simple Plan. I changed the song and another One Direction song came on that wasn’t on my phone and under a different name.
“I will kill those boys!” I muttered angrily to myself. I ended up just listening to the songs as they kept replaying and replaying, a different name for each of the songs. Each song being in my phone God knows how many times.
I pulled up to Sammie’s house and texted her to tell her I was here. She came out of her house and opened my car door.
“HEY HEY HEYYYYY!!!” I greeted her as soon as she opened the door. Once she closed the door I drove off since I was probably late for work.
“Hey to you too. Wait isn’t this One Direction? Don’t tell me you have fallen in love with them!” She looked at me quite shocked and confused. I decided to play along.
“OH MY GOSH YES! THEY ARE PERFECT!!! LIKE I’M IN LOVE WITH NIALL!!! Don’t tell anyone but we have a secret relationship. See!” I pulled up his text from this morning and showed it to her. Her eyes nearly popped out of her head!
“What..?” Was all she could manage to get out. She loved the lads, especially Niall, which made it all the more funny!
“Yes, I know! When I said all the boys came over last night, it was just Niall. And he stayed the night he left early this morning so Dad wouldn’t know. He wants to tell Dad, and not let him find out through staying the night secretively.” I held back my laughter as her mouth widened. This was oh so good! Reminded me of the receptionist!
“Are you serious…” She trailed off, her words barely coming out of her mouth.
“Of course I’m not bloody serious! Babe honestly, do you really think I would date him after knowing him 5 seconds and the fact that I don’t even like them in that way. And if I wanted to listen to their music, which I don’t, I wouldn’t change the names to their songs to something else and have like a billion copies of the same song.” I burst out laughing trying to concentrate on the road and not crash. Sammie then punch me playfully in the arm and burst out laughing too. After we contained ourselves Sammie finally spoke.
“So they did that to your phone?”
“Yeah, not sure when though. I don’t remember it ever not being on me or them being away long enough to do it. They also all recorded themselves saying ‘Get Up Cas’ gradually getting louder and louder on my phone and setting it as my alarm for this morning. Oh and changed my settings to Chinese, I reckon that was Louis ‘cause me and him were trying to speak Chinese yesterday.” I continued to explain yesterday’s events and what I had learnt about them. I also told her about what happened when I sung to them a couple of days ago. And about our singing session by the pit.
