In Another World

Part 12

Meg's POV

Talia drives to the pub because I have no clue how to get there. We arrive five minutes to seven. We find a table, order some sodas, and the band comes on. The music is... not my style. It's not that horrible, though. Talia's friend, Monica pulls a chair up. "I didn't know you two were coming!" she screams over the music. This is the one who is friends with the main guitarist.

"Well, here we are!" Talia says.

We make small talk and then, suddenly, Monica shouts, "Oh!!"

I ask why she said that because she basically shouted right in my ear.

"You're Harry Styles new girlfriend!"

"Yeah... well" I'm uncomfortable. I had pushed Harry to the back of my mind since I got here and she has to bring him up again.

Monica tells me how lucky I am and runs off. Thank God.

I've met Monica many times and each time she rubs me the wrong way. I try to like her because Talia and her go way back but I can't. But I pretend to.

I pretend to.

Just like I pretend to date Harry.

I am acting.

Wow, maybe I should go to drama school and become an actress, not study to become a teacher.

Talia and I split and order of mozzarella sticks then I order fish and chips and she orders a burger. The band plays all through dinner, and while we are paying, they finish their last song. They had a long set.

Talia and I head back to the apartment, but it's only 9:00, so we stop by the grocery store and rent a movie. We pick Silver Linings Playbook. I've heard so many good things. Talia and I change and wash our faces, make popcorn even though I am terribly full. We start the movie.
