Lies

Chapter twenty

       Hayley came bursting into work the next day to find Adalynn already cleaning the coffee machines. "Duuuuude, you're all over everything! You were on the front cover of j-14 which I may or may not have bought I mean what." She spoke really fast as she reached into her backpack and pulled out the magazine that Adalynn was on. "Plus you were on Extra and Entertainment Weekly and on the radio and dude!"

     Adalynn nodded slowly, looking up at Hayley.  "Yeah. I noticed." She said nonchalantly. She scrubbed the coffee machine, her thoughts only of cleaning as she tried not to think about Harry or about how her face was everywhere in the world.

      "Aren't you like excited? Anything? You're in the news...everywhere...America...Spain...Italy....CANADA! YOU'RE IN CANADA! WITHOUT EVEN GOING TO CANADA!  DON'T YOU EVEN DARE TELL ME YOU AREN'T EXCITED ABOUT BEING IN CANADA!"  Hayley screamed, jumping up and down with her arms extended out on the counter. "And the best part is that nobody knows who you are! The pictures weren't good enough so nobody can identify you! That is like soooo cool!"

        Adalynn sighed. She pulled away from her now sparkling coffee machine and leaned against the counter. "It isn't really."

        "And why don't you think so?"

        "Because...You know I don't like attention." She said exasperatedly, "I'm not even his girlfriend, nor do they know who I am or what I look like, and everyone on twitter is already freaking out. All the fangirls are all like 'Ew look at deh uglay whore lolololol #yolo.' and that's before they even know anything about me! Imagine how bad it will be if they get better pictures and they figure out who I am!"

        "Honey. You know how fangirls are. Half of them ship Larry too hard to know what's going on in the world and the other half just wish that they were you. You're telling me you never sent hate over the internet just cuz you were jealous of someone?"

        "Of course I haven't! I envy silently!"

        "Oh thank god. I was just wondering. I've never done it either." Hayley laughed, placing a hand against her heart. "Anyway, if I were you I would be excited."

        "Yeah well you aren't meeeee." Adalynn said in a singsong voice. "I'm going in the back to write our schedulesss!"

        Hayley nodded, "I'll stay out here in case someone comes to buy stuff..which...they wont..but still." Adalynn nodded in response and went into the back, the door swinging behind her. Hayley jumped up on a counter and pulled out her phone. She scrolled through a few pages on Twitter, seeing Adalynn's blurry picture over and over. She was right about to retweet  a tweet that was defending Adalynn against the angry fangirls when the twinkling bells from the front door made her snap her head up. She hopped off the counter as a tall man with sunglasses and a beanie covering his face and head walked in. "Helloo sir!" She chirped. "Welcome to Starbucks. What can I get you?" The man placed his order as Hayley tapped away at the register. She then turned around and started working on his drink.

        "What's up with the sunglasses?" She asked, trying to make conversation with the first customer they had in weeks. "It's cloudy out. And the hat? It's warm." The man just shrugged in response as Hayley put his drink down on the counter. "Wait...You look familiar..."

        The man stared at Hayley for a moment before laughing. "I didn't recognize you at first." He said, pulling off his hat and glasses to reveal Harry.

        Hayley caught on suddenly and laughed in return. "You were starting to freak me out for a moment. Are you looking for Adalynn?"

        Harry suddenly got an excited look, "Is she here?"
