The Exchange Student {A Narry Fanfiction}

5. Very Important Person

"Where is my mascara?! Niall, fucking help me out!" Maryke yelled and looked through her stuff, making a bigger mess than it already was.

"Yeh, wait", I said and groaned. Liverpool vs. Fulham was playing on the TV and I just didn't want to miss anything. I jumped up from the comfy sofa and jogged to Maryke's room. The room was a big mess, it was clothes everywhere on the floor, the bed, the table. I looked down and right between my feet was a black thing with "Mascara" written on it. I picked it up and handed it to Maryke, raising an eyebrow.

"Thank you!" She ran to the mirror and started putting the thing on her eyelashes.

"Is there anything else I need to help you with, Miss?" I said in a posh accent and took a towel from the floor, folded it and put it hanging on my arm.

"You're so silly", Maryke laughed and threw one of her shirts on me. "But no, I'm finished now."

After Maryke was completely finished our cab was already by our hotel and we drove to the arena. If the traffic wouldn't have been so bad, we would've been there at 4 p.m., but it took longer than expected so we were there at 4:40 p.m. It was fine though, because we had VIP seats and we got to go to the VIP section first.

We came up to the VIP section and the first thing we did was taking loads and loads of pictures. Maryke was freaking out because it was a big chance we could see the boys when they came to the arena since the VIP section was behind the stage. It was so cool, even I was a bit excited. I could maybe finally see Harry Styles, the boy from my dreams. I don't think I would get to touch him but it was okay, because at least I got to see them.

The VIP section wasn't something impressive. We got food, steak with potatoes and mushroom sause, but other than that nothing really happened.

"I'm sure as hell the egg came first, I mean, how would the first chicken be made without an egg?" I said and took a bite from my steak. It tasted like heaven, holy shit.

"No, I know the chicken came first. How would the egg first be made without a chicken?" Maryke said and looked at me challenging.

"But, Maryke, I-"

Oh my fuck.

I couldn't continue what I was going to say, mostly because what I saw kind of took my breath away and because I couldn't remember what I wanted to say. He was here. The most perfect human being was here, a few meters from me, looking very lost.

Ed Sheeran.

"Oh my god, Maryke. Ed fucking Sheeran is standing right behind you!" I whisperered-yelled. I caughted myself playing with my bracelets. A sign of nervousness. My hands started sweating.

"Well c'mon then!" Maryke said and dragged me to the king of music. She picked him on the shoulder to get his attention and cleared her voice. He turned around and when he saw us he flashed us a smile. Oh god.

"Uhm, hi, Ed, uhm, we are, or I am, well Maryke too I think, uhm, we are big fans", I rambled and gave him a nervous smile. I was pretty sure even the people in space saw me shaking. I was talking to him. I had a small Beyoncé moment.

"Oh hi, nice to meet you..." Ed said.

"I'm Maryke and the big fanboy of yours here is Niall", she said and smirked towards me.

Ed laughed. It sounded pretty much like heaven.

"Hi, nice to meet you Maryke and Niall! Are you excited for the gals concert?"

I was too paralyzed from hearing my name from his lips to answer his question. I think I'm going to cry.

Maryke looked at me, waiting for me to answer. She nudged me with her elbow.

"Um, yeah, totally!"

Way to go, Horan. You now sounded like the most lame person on earth with your all time idol right in front of you.

"I think they are here anytime now, but can I please be with you until they come? I'm kind of bored", Ed asked and flashed us that smile you can't resist saying no to.

"Absolutely!" Maryke said.

÷÷÷÷

After a while I wasn't as nervous around Ed as I was in the beginning. He actually laughed at my jokes a lot and he was so easy to talk to. It felt like we had known each other longer than only half an hour.

"So do you guys have meet and greet as well?" he asked me while Maryke was getting something to drink.

"No, it's only VIP. It would have been cool meeting them though."

"Well, I think I might can get you to meet them", he said and smiled. "If you have time and want to".

"Are you kidding? We would love it!" I said and oh my god, what if we get to meet them!

"I can see what I can do. Just come here after the concert", he said and looked at his watch. "I think I need to go now, but we'll see each other later!"

"Wait, if we don't meet, can I please get a photo and an autograph?" I asked sheepily and he just laughed at me.

"Sure."

When we were done and he was ready to go, Maryke came back. She said goodbye to Ed and came and sat down to the table I was sitting. I decided not to let her know about Ed's and and my plan until sfyer the concert.

All of a sudden we could hear a ear-piercing scream from the girls in front of the stage.

Maryke and I looked at each other and we both jumped up from the table and ran to where our seat was. I took out my phone and looked at the time. The concert is going to start in 15 minutes. Time flies when you talk to Ed Sheeran.

Author's Note

I hate how this chapter turned out, but I don't want the concert to be just yet.
