Chapter 5

Next morning, 8:30 a.m

LIAM: "Mornin Ni!" (pours out some cereal, pouring in milk next)

NIALL: "Mornin. Why so happy?" (takes a seat beside Liam)

LIAM: "Remember the date? I can't wait!"

NIALL: "Huh? (thinks awhile) oh yeah....the date with Malik. Okay..."

LIAM: (pouts)" You're not bein supportive Ni! What are best mates for!"

NIALL: (gives a look at Li) "You know I don't like that prick right?"

LIAM: "Yeah, I do know that but he's not that bad Ni, you gotta cooperate with him if everything between us works out alright?"

NIALL: (waves him off) "Yeah yeah whatever. I have to go now before boss fires my ass. Love ya." (grabs his stuff,exits the house, not before Li replies a 'Love ya too!')

Starbucks, 9:40 a.m.

NIALL: (is a minute early, sighs in relief, quickly puts on his apron) "Glad Mr. Manager isn't here yet."

MR.MANAGER: "What did you say just a few moments ago, Niall?"

NIALL: (a little frightened by his voice, jumps a little) "Uh..nothing sir. Just mumbling to myself"

MR.MANAGER: (whispers to himself as he shakes his head at Niall and walks away) "Kids these days."

NIALL: (checks the staff board) "Hmm..who's working with me today?" (finds the person)"Ah ha! Justin!

As if on cue,Justin arrives, looking hot as always.

NIALL: "Hey Biebs! (pats his back) How are ya?"

JUSTIN: "Hi Ni! As always, not too well." (puts on his apron)
