I woke up when I heard a pan clinking around downstairs. I slowly sat up and stretched. I stood up and walked over to the desk beside my bed, where my phone was charging. I checked my phone, no new messages of course. I checked my twitter, 14 new interactions? I usually only got about three per day, I was an unpopular account. I read the interactions, it was people fangirling for me about the picture I tweeted with the boys. Then I remembered yesterday. It really happened, I really met them and hung out with them. I felt myself smiling as I retweeted everyone who was fangirling for me. Then I came across one different tweet someone sent to me. I read it slowly.
you're a fake. get over yourself. as if they would hang out with you
I was about to reply with some sass, even though the tweet did upset me, but I heard a crashing sound. I carried my phone with me and ran down the stairs. I could smell eggs. It must have been my dad cooking. He really couldn't cook, I don't know why he tried. I stepped into the kitchen and saw an egg splattered on the floor, an upside down pan, and of course my dad grabbing some paper towels to wipe the floor.
"Dad, you know you shouldn't be cooking. Something always goes wrong." I pointed to the floor where the egg was. I had to admit, it did smell good though.
"I was trying to do something nice for breakfast!" He replied, while he was cleaning up the eggs.
"Sure turned out nicely, didn't it?" I said sarcastically, laughing.
My dad just laughed, "I'd like to see you do a better job."
"Challenge accepted, dad." I grabbed the pan and cleaned it up so I could use it. I grabbed a few eggs and cracked them into the pan. "Watch and learn!"
A few hours later
My dad was at work and he asked me to go to the grocery shop to pick up a few things, he gave me some money for it. I was walking through the aisles looking for what I needed to get when I heard familiar laughing. My palms became sweaty and I tried wiping them off on my jeans. I felt my heart beat faster. I was smiling nervously. I peeked out of the aisle and I saw Jai Brooks doing a dance behind some random employee who didn't know he was there. I saw Luke filming it on his phone. They were only two aisles down, I could see them clearly. I found them again. Two days in a row. It was unbelievable! Beau and james were trying not to laugh so the employee wouldn't hear them. Jai stopped dancing and walked over to Luke with his thumbs up at the camera. Why was Luke filming with his phone? I suddenly felt the back of my hair move out of place. I turned around and screamed. I saw Daniel doing the Egyptian dance behind me, he really startled me. I put my hand over my mouth hoping no one heard me scream, but when I looked behind me I saw the rest of the boys walking towards me laughing.
"Hey! You're that girl from yesterday!" Daniel exclaimed, "Hey boys, I found Martha!"
"Her name's Mari, you idiot!" Jai laughed.
I still had my hand over my mouth, so I lowered it. I was wearing a sweater so I put my hands into my sleeves and tried wiping the sweat off. I was so nervous. The boys were talking to me again. Kind of. They were talking more to each other, but it was about me. I felt and heard my phone vibrate in my pocket. I didn't reach for it.
"You gonna get your phone?" Luke asked.
"Uh..Yeah, I was just about to." I grabbed it and saw it was my twitter friend telling me about the boys new keek. That's why Luke was filming Jai with his phone. I laughed and put my phone away.
"What's so funny?" James asked.
"Oh, um, nothing. It was just my friend.." I put my hands back in my sleeves.
"Sorry for scaring you, Mari! And for getting your name wrong." Daniel laughed. He walked over beside Jai so he wasn't behind me anymore. I could face them all more easily now. They were talking to each other but I wasn't really listening because I was still in shock. Just moments ago, Daniel was behind me dancing. Thank god Luke wasn't filming his dance for a keek, I would have been in it and I would have embarrassed myself. I decided to take out my phone and take a video of the boys for proof that I hung out with them. I wouldn't let them know I was making a video, it was just a creeper video. I filmed for a good two minutes before Beau looked at me and did a funny superhero pose. He thought I was taking a picture. I laughed and stopped filming, Beau's pose being the last five seconds of the video.
"How does the picture look?" Beau started walking over to me to see it. I started to panic because, well, I didn't take a picture. I didn't want him to know I took a video. I put my phone in my pocket quickly, "I'll tweet it later!" I said. I would just take a screenshot of the video.
"What's your twitter?" Beau asked.
"Are you going to remember it?"
"Yeah!" He replied.
"Beau you suck at remembering things, you lying fuck." Luke said. I just laughed awkwardly.
"Fine, I'll text her later." Beau told Luke.
"You have her number?" Daniel asked.
"I got it yesterday when we had her phone, remember?" He replied.
"What the fook, you never get fans numbers." Daniel said in a weird voice. He was so cute. I wanted to just grab him and kiss him. That obviously wasn't going to happen though, especially since I was too shy to even say anything to him. Beau just shrugged at what he said.
The boys said bye to me and left the store. I stood there for a while afterwards fangirling silently. I didn't feel like I just met them, I thought I'd be screaming more. At least that's what I told Beau.
