The New Direction - 1D Fanfiction

Chapter 11

I smiled to the girl at the counter as she passed me my hot chocolate and fruit cup. Harry grabbed his mango and passion fruit ice blend as he payed the girl. The both of us made our way to a table in the back corner of the shop near the window. Amanda and Niall had joined us for the small meal we were having, Harry and I took our seats on the opposite side of the table of them. He grabbed my hand, his thumb made circles on the back of my hand. They looked at us for a few moments then grinned evily at us. 

"Sooo when did this happen?" Amanda sing songed.

"Last night." Harry smirked.

"And how exactly did you guys become this?" Niall smirked back at him.

"Well... We uh..." I blushed.

"Oh my god you guys didn't do it did you?!" She quietly exclaimed.

"No! No! No!" I loudly whispered.

"Then explain yo self gurl."

"We uh... Kinda... Made out..." I admitted.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" They both sing songed together.

"Yeah, then I spent the night in her bed." Harry smirked again.

"HARRY!" I exclaimed.

"Sorry..." He quietly sipped his drink.

"Oh really?" Niall chuckled.

I blushed and my head turned towards the table top. Quietly I took a sip of my hot chocolate and let my hair fall in front of me face. Harry continued sipping away at his drink as well, we were both somewhat embarassed. All four of us sat in silence for a few moments, I finished off my fruit cup and hot chocolate. Harry finished his, Niall and Amanda finished the salad they ordered which Niall mostly ate. 

We all rose from our seats and headed out of the cafe. It was almost 9:45 and we had to do some shopping. Amanda and I needed to find our dresses for the after party, Harry and Niall needed to find their tux's. Niall gave Amanda a kiss on the cheek and Harry gave me a kiss on the lips. Short and sweet, I blushed a little before we went our separate ways towards the different shops. After walking for a few minutes we came across a shop with 3 different, very beautiful dresses in the window. We headed in to the shop and we were caught in the beauty of the entire place. 

"Hi, how may I help you?" A small woman asked.

We turned to face her when we heard her voice. The woman's eyes lit up, as did Amanda's. I was completely confused yet I stood and waited for someone to say something. 

"Gabby? I'm not sure if you remember me but my name is Amanda, we used to go to school together?" Amanda said.

"Of course I remember you silly, you were my extreme fangirl buddy! How have you been?"

"Amazing! Did you watch Ellen last night?"

"Uh yeah, you're marrying Niall Horan!? The guy that you fangirled over all throughout middle school? Congrats girlie, I am so proud of you!"

They both laughed and hugged it out. I was assuming this Gabby girl was a longtime friend of hers, I continued to stand there as they continued to talk away about the wedding. I made a sound, not entirely sure what it was; it sounded like me clearing my throat, burping and coughing all at the same time. Amanda and Gabby looked at me, I blushed immediately.

"Hails, if you wanted an introduction you coulda just told me." Amanda laughed. "Gabby this is my best friend Hailey, Hails this is my fellow extreme fangirl buddy Gabby." She smiled.

"Hi Hailey, nice to meet you. I hear your the maid of honor?" she said, extending her hand to me.

"Yes I am, but don't forget your a bridesmaid too. It's an honor just meeting you." I smiled, I shook her hand. 

"So, getting back on topic here. How can I help you girls?"

"We're looking for graduation dresses. My fiance and her boyfriend are shopping for tuxes." Amanda responded. 

"Ah, right this way I have the perfect thing for you two."

She turned and walked towards some racks of clothing, she grabbed a bunch of different dresses then headed towards the dressing rooms. Amanda and I looked at eacher, shrugged our shoulders then followed her into the dressing rooms. Gabby gave half the pile to me and the other half to Amanda. We each went into seperate dressing rooms and changed into the first outfit. I walked out and into the little sitting area they had, I was wearing a short blue dress. It ruffled slightly near the bottom, it was strapless and had a black belt just above my waist. I turned around and looked at myself in the mirror. Somehow I didn't feel like this was the one. 

Amanda came out next she wore a purple dress similar to mine but it reached her calfs, it was slim against her body and showed off her amazing figure. She did a few spins for Gabby and I then looked at herself in the mirror. She scrunched her face up a little when she saw it on herself then headed back into the dressing rooms, I followed behind her and went into mine. 

The next dress of was longer, but still shorter than the one Amanda had just tried on, this one was also blue. It had one strap that came over my shoulder,  it was a little flimsy and the bottom of it looked cut up into little triangles. I walked out of the dressing room and Gabby gasped, I looked at her and she was smiling. I knew right away it was the perfect dress for me. Amanda came out minutes later in a pink dress, it came down halfway down her thighs. Some black lace of some sort acted as a necklace and a small black belt complimented the dress perfectly. Gabby and I both grinned at her, we all knew this was the dress she was going to get. 

"You two look beautiful, you guys are going to have so much fun tonight." Gabby swooned.

"Awe, thanks Gabby." Amanda replied.

"Yeah, thanks." I mentioned.

We all made our way over to the front room and paid for our dresses. Gabby, Amanda and I all said our goodbyes and the two of us left the store. Minutes later we arrived at the large fountain in the middle of the mall and waited for Niall and Harry. They arrived shortly after with bags in their hands as well. Niall greeted Amanda with a kiss, Harry shot me a smile; picked me up and swung me around in a hug while kissing my cheek. The four of us linked arms and headed off to the shoe store, the boys needed dress shoes and Amanda and I needed some heels that went with our dresses.
