Still The One

Thirty Six

 ‘So,’ I said. ‘Wanna go shopping?’ Elise asked. ‘Nah,’ I answered. ‘Lemme open a twitter account. I wanna know how the others think of us.’ ‘Awesome!’ Elise said happily. She was a total internet freak. We went inside to our room and washed ourselves. ‘So,’ Elise said after we all had washed up. ‘Give me your phone.’ She snatched it from my hand even before she finished the sentence. ‘Thank you.’ She opened the Twitter app and started tapping away. ‘So, what’ll be your name?’ She asked. ‘Well, Samantha Taylor, like obviously.’ I replied. She tapped for some time again. ‘Your Twitter address?’ She asked next. ‘What do you mean?’ I asked. ‘You know, like Niall’s address is @NiallOfficial. Mine is @Elise93. Ummm, I think you should have @SamanthaHoran.’ She joked. ‘Ha ha, very funny. I would just like @SamTaylor.’ I said. She tapped a few more times and said, ‘Your account is ready.’ Then she handed me over the phone. The profile photo was one of me and Niall kissing last night. I was already following the boys and Elise and Hannah. ‘Thanks a bunch Elise,’ I said to her. ‘No prob.’

I spent the next hour just staring at all the tweets of the boys.

Then my phone rang. It was Niall. I answered, ‘Hello, Niall? Wazzup?’ ‘Hey, Sam, did you just open an account in Twitter?’ He asked. ‘Well, yeah. I tweeted you. Did you see that?’ I asked him back. ‘Uhhuh. Listen, I called you for some other reason. Remember Zoey? Yeah, she called Liam some time ago and she’s coming to your house in a few min…’ ‘The bell just rang,’ I cut him off. ‘I think she’s here. So, bye, love. Be safe.’ ‘Bye, Sam.’ He said. I hung up and ran to the door. ‘COMING!’ I shouted before opening the door. It was Zoey and Jake. ‘Hi Jake,’ I greeted. ‘Hi Zoey.’ ‘Hi,’ They said together. ‘I know that Liam’s not here, but…’ Zoey started, but I cut her off. ‘No prob. You guys can join our boring house.’ I grinned. They came in.

I showed them to my room. ‘Awesome! I love it!’ Zoey commented. ‘Cool.’ Jake spoke. ‘Thanks. Nobody ever complimented me before. Oh guys, you remember Elise, right? ‘ I asked them. They nodded. ‘Yeah. This is Hannah, her beautiful but shy cousin. She was there yesterday, but she was kinda busy with Harry.’ Jake and Zoey nodded at Hannah. She blushed. ‘See? She’s the shyest girl you can find.’ Elise said. ‘So,’ I started. ‘Do you two have Twitter? You can earn a few extra followers.’ Jake shook his head, but Zoey said, ‘I do! I’m @ZoeyBrookewell.’ I took out my phone and gave it to Elise. I was following Zoey in about less than a minute. I noticed that the boys were following me now, so I could DM them. I requested them to follow Zoey. I then noticed that I was getting more followers. Maybe the fans noticed the new people the boys followed and they saw my profile pic. Now the world knew about me and Niall. Then suddenly Jake’s phone rang. ‘Will you excuse me?’ He asked. We nodded and he went outside. ‘Zoey,’ I started when Jake was gone. ‘We can already imagine you with Liam.’ Elise finished the sentence. She blushed lightly and looked at her tattoo. ‘Well, I hope so.’ She answered shyly. Me and Elise exchanged glances. ‘No need for hopes! Liam already likes you!’ I said. ‘Well, maybe,’ She said, sighing.

We sat silently for some time, deeply soaked into our own thoughts.
