Adopted by One Direction

Sandwiches, Shopping and Cat Costumes

When I woke up the next morning, Liam was still next to me, asleep. I inched out of bed slowly, careful not to wake him up. Thanks to me, his last night must've been terrible. I went to the bathroom and washed my face before combing my hair, leaving it in a wave of curls down my back. Then I went back to my bedroom and took a pair of jeans out. Seeing as Liam was still asleep, I changed in my bedroom. I put on the same sweater, because who was I kidding? I had nothing else decent to wear.After that, I went to the kitchen. Niall and Louis were already up."Hey guys." I ran in and gave them each a hug. "Thanks for being real.""What are you talking about? Louis asked me, handing me a piece of toast."When I woke up, I was so scared that everything was a dream." I replied."Well, we're definitely real!" Niall says in his cute Irish accent, poking me with his jam-covered finger."Hey!" I said, giggling, "Now I'm all sticky!"Louis added another blob of jam on my nose, and I smeared some peanut butter on his forehead. Then Niall grabbed Louis' face with his hands so Louis looked like a peanut butter and jam sandwich. For extra effect, I slapped a piece of whole wheat bread on his face. The jam made it stick on, so where Louis' face used to be could actually be eaten as someone's lunch."Good morning!" I turned around to see Harry walking into the room, his eyes half-opened, still in his pajamas."Oh hi there," I smiled at him. "I'm making a peanut butter and jam sandwich.""Oh really? I want one." Harry opened the fridge without a second glance my way. I couldn't believe he hadn't noticed Louis."Well, I've made an extra big one for you, it's right over here." I replied.Niall suddenly burst out laughing and fell on the floor with a splat. My mouth dropped open."What's so funny?" Harry asked, pulling his head out of the fridge.Niall continued laughing, looking so comical that I started laughing too. I pointed at Louis."Oh, so there's the sandwich!" Harry said, grinning and walked over to Louis. Louis, probably sensing him getting closer, moved away like a mouse backing away from a cat.Harry held onto Louis' shoulder to keep him from getting away, and started eating the bread straight off his face. Niall and I were laughing so hard that we were gasping for air.He pulled Harry off him and ran towards me after dipping his hands into the jar of peanut butter."Um, nothing." I said quickly. "We were just, uh, eating sandwiches. Sorry for waking you up. Uh, the sandwich was attacking us so there was a bit of noise."It took a great deal of work. First, the window had to be opened to let the sun shine into the room. Then Louis jumped around on Zayn's bed, while the other boys shook him and shouted loudly. Believe it or not, Zayn still hadn't as much as stirred after a minute. Feeling weirdly impish, I climbed onto his bed and positioned my mouth right above his face."ZAAAAAAAAAYN!" I yelled in his ear. 'WAKE UUUUUUUUUUP!""Help! Guys, save me! There's a fan in my room! Help! Make her get away from me!""C'mon Zayn, wake up. We need to go to the mall." Niall said, pulling the blankets off him.This went on for another five minutes. It took yet another half-hour before all of us got ready to go out. Getting ready with One Direction wasn't your normal 'getting ready', I discovered. They had to choose the perfect outfits, then do their hair until it was styled perfectly as well. After that, they still need to choose their disguises.All of us ended up wearing sunglasses. Yes, even me. Harry sported a fake moustache, and all the boys put on either a beanie or a baseball cap. Actually, Louis wanted to wear a baseball cap on top of his beanie, but Liam said it looked too crazy and forbade it."I think that's it, but do you mind if a get a notebook? Like for me to write my stories in, you know." I asked timidly, not used to asking people for things. "It's not necessary though..."I happily hurried off the notebook section. I chose a red one with orange swirly patterns after due consideration, clutching it to my chest blissfully. After we paid, Niall presented me with a gift. A book! Turned out that he bought it for me when I was choosing my notebook. The book was called To Kill A Mockingbird."Thank you so much!" I said, too overwhelmed by everything that was happening."Who? Oh, that guy from One Direction? Nah, I'm not him, though people always say that I look like him." Niall said quickly in a rather convincing American accent, adjusting the baseball cap more firmly on his head. The girl, still suspicious, walked away.Before long, Niall came back balancing a tray of food on each hand. And yes, both trays of food were for him. Typical. The rest of us also went to buy lunches for ourselves. After lunch, we went back home. We all helped drag the 18 bags of stuff into my room and I started unpacking, with occasional help from the boys. It took us an hour to unpack all the clothes, put the lamp up, and other stuff. Then came the difficult part for me—setting up my phone and laptop. Have I mentioned that I had absolutely no knowledge when it came to electronics? I'd never owned a phone or computer in my life, so the boys had to patiently teach me how to work those things. By 3 o'clock, I was able to call the boys through my phone and use the Internet. We actually had a lot of fun unpacking and fooling around. The boys almost forgot that they had an interview at 4. We all rushed around getting changed, and the boys had to do their hair all over again. After they left my room, I opened my newly-filled closet to choose my outfit (polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=108111988). I put on a gray sweater with the word 'Love' on it and a pair of red skinny jeans. For shoes, I wore a cool pair of ankle boots. To top the outfit off, I put on a grey knit beanie and black cat necklace (I bet Harry bought it)."Very risky." Liam said. "Any other ideas?"Jessica laughed in a fake-cheery way. Harry looked at us, eyebrows raised, then turned back to Jessica.When we arrived back home, Zayn and Liam fought about who got to take a bath first. Louis went to cook dinner, while Niall and Harry went looking for the car keys which had miraculously gotten lost in our five minutes of being home.Too late—the door was already opening.
