I still didn’t feel mentally prepared as I crossed the lobby from the elevator to the front desk. I gave the mean guy there the cardkey back and he told me he hoped to see me again which I thought was ironic considering how he was when we had first met. As I strolled out of the hotel I noticed a lot of girls staring at me as I left. I didn’t take too much notice of it and kept walking until I heard a lot of whispers. I looked back to see that now every single one of those girls was staring at me. That’s when I realized… I was wearing Niall’s red snapback… Oh no.
I pretended not to notice as, if I did, it would only bring more attention to it. I could feel their eyes carving holes in the back of my head but I kept on walking. Ugh I should’ve taken the hat off!
After we had finished lunch Niall and I had talked about a lot of things when the subject of his hats came up. I told him how I thought he owned way too many and he had dragged me over to his closet to see that he did, in fact, have too many. I had told him I liked this red one the best so he put it on my head and I forgot to take it off. I knew how dedicated the One Direction fans were so I was pretty sure they recognized his hat. I should have seriously taken it off.
As I got farther away I felt a little safer but something was still bothering me. Before I could figure out what that was I got a call from Lexi.
“How’d it go with Neil?!” she screamed into the phone as soon as I answered.
“It went fine. We talked for a while… did you know food is a lot more expensive when they give it a fancy name. I mean a lot!”
Lexi just laughed, then said in a very casual tone “Oh I’m at your house by the way.”
“Why aren’t you ever at your own place?” I asked but didn’t really mind. I sometimes forgot that Lexi didn’t live with us.
“Because you have better food. Anyway are you almost home?”
“Yeah I’m about halfway there.”
“Ooh ill meet you halfway I need a walk anyway. I’ll see you in a bit babe” she said and hung up. I had just about forgotten that something had been bothering me when I heard someone call after me.
“Hey you girl! Come here! Hey!” said a girl voice behind me. I turned around to see a girl with bleached blonde hair, an orangey looking fake tan, and dark brown eyes staring at me. She was with another girl, also with the same blonde hair and tan but this one with green eyes. For some reason they reminded me of peaches. Not the princess but more like the fruit. Maybe it was their tan. They both looked pretty mad but all I could do was stare at their short shorts and tight shirts and wonder if they were cold…
“Did you not hear her?! Ashley was talking to you!” said the green eyed one. I guess the other girl’s name was Ashley…
“Yeah, I heard you, sorry. I’m in a hurry though so I should go” I told them not knowing why they had called me.
“Oh you hear that Rachel, she has better things to do than talk to us” said Ashley
“I guess she’s some big shot then being an we’re not important enough for her” said the Rachel girl in a really bitter and sarcastic tone
“I’m not important I just-”
“You’re right you’re not important at all!” Ashley interrupted me
“Listen I really-”
“Oh so now we have to listen to you?! Please then go on your highness” hissed Rachel at me which I found extremely uncalled for
“Look I don’t know what your problem is bu-”
“Oh well why don’t we tell you our problem then!” said Ashley
“Our problem is you” said Rachel
“Why? What did I do?” I asked realizing too late I was still wearing the snapback
“You,” hissed Ashley “stole my husband’s hat!”
“Umm…” was all I could say. Did she really just call Niall her husband? She looked dead serious too
“Don’t umm us! You’re wearing the evidence right there! Just give Ash her husband’s hat back and we’ll leave” Rachel told me… Where they serious?
“Well I’m waiting!” said Ashley. Yup, they were serious
“I’m sorry but I’m not giving you my hat” I told them and placed a hand over my head
“Your hat? That’s Niall’s hat” said Rachel
“No this is my hat. My mum bought it for me last spring on my birthday and I’ve had it ever since so I’m sorry if this looks like your husband’s or whoever’s hat but this one is mine.” I was genuinely surprised at my own ability to lie like that. Maybe Lexi was rubbing off on me and I’d picked up a thing or two from her. I had to admit that was a pretty good story
“We don’t believe you” Well so much for that
“Listen girls I-”
“Give me that hat!” Ashley yelled and dove for my hat… Niall’s hat
“Get away from me!” I yelled back as I started walking backwards. Both of them followed me as I rushed home. I was pretty sure something was wrong with these girls… seriously wrong. I was beginning to think that I could lose them when I felt something trip me. It was Rachel’s foot
“Let go!” I screamed at them as they both tried to take the hat from me
“Hey!” We all heard somebody scream in a very menacing voice. To my relief I recognized that voice
“What do you want?” yelled Rachel as Ashley kept trying to take the snapback from me
“You have two seconds to get off my girl before I beat the both of you!” Lexi screamed at them. I sighed. This was the kind of time that it really came in handy to have a friend like her
“Please, honey, you-”
“Bitch don’t you honey me.” Lexi interrupted Rachel. “If you don’t let go of her right now I will drag you both by the hair and tear it out from the root. I’ll be doing you a favor taking that bleached crap of a mop on your head.”
“Oh yeah?! I’d like to see you t- OW!” Ashley yelled as Lexi dragged both her and Rachel away from me by their hair. There were two things I had learned about Lexi very early in our relationship. One was that it was a very bad idea to get her mad. And two, if you did get her mad, run, because she never threatened anything she wasn’t willing to do.
“OW! Get off of me you whore!” screamed one of them although I couldn’t tell who because all I saw was bleached hair and fake tans between them.
“Lexi let them go” I told her before she went on to the pulling their hair out by the roots part. She let go but didn’t move an inch from them, daring them to take a step towards me. Both Rachel and Ashley left and once Lexi made sure they were far enough she came running to me.
“Hey Mel are you okay?” she asked looking really worried. She said she always saw me as her little sister so maybe that was it… “Is that Neil’s hat?”
“Huh? Oh yeah he put it on my head while I was there and I forgot to take it off. That’s what the girls were after.” I told her straightening out the hat
“You were gonna get beaten up for a hat?” she said with humor in her voice
“It’s a pretty hat…” I told her but both of us knew that wasn’t the reason why
“Come on” she said pulling me up and linking our arms “Let’s go home. You can tell me all about Neil and his hat there” she winked at me and we walked back home
