Chapter 9

*Maela's POV*

I woke up at about 2:00 in the afternoon. Everyone but Victoria was still sleeping. She was in the living room watching TV. Our roommates, Hunter and Paige were cooking us breakfast. They know what it's like to wake up after a night of drinking.

I couldn't wait to tell them all about last night. Of course, I wasn't going to tell them I got his number because that might get a little too much attention. I mean, it was Niall Horan's phone number.

I walked into the living room and Hunter was beaming at me. I met Hunter my Freshman year of High School. He was always one year ahead of me, but we made a pact to room together with in college. He was gay, by the way. In case you were wondering about a guy living with us.

He pushed me over to the couch and sat me down. He plopped down next to me indian style. I knew I was about to get asked so many questions.

"So, who was he?" He asked me immediately.

"Umm... Well, Niall Horan." I told him hesitantly.

"Who?" He asked me. He didn't know anything about One Direction. He only knows some of their songs because of us.

"Well, he's from One Direction." I tell him.

"Yeah, okay." He looks back at Paige and they both laugh. (Paige , the dyke as we called her. She was a grade above me, as well. We made the pact with her, too.)

"I'm serious." I tell him looking back at Victoria for help.

"It's true," she says with a mouthful of cereal, "We met all of them except for Zayn."

"I am seriously doubting this," Hunter said getting up.

DaRae walks in, "What are we doubting?"

"They don't believe we met 4 out of 5 last night." I tell her.

"WE TOTALLY DID! AND IT WAS THE BEST THING OF MY LIFE!" She shouts.

"WE HAVE PICTURES TO PROVE IT!" I yell back at them.

I pull out my phone as quickly as I can and unlock it to the pictures.

I hop up and show them both the picture of Niall and I. Hunter was checking it to see if it was photoshopped.

"It's not photoshopped. It really happened. And we got them to follow us on twitter. Well, I got Niall to follow me." I say, excited.

From the couch, Victoria yells, "I DIDN'T GET A FOLLOW! Bitch."

"Okay. Okay, we believe you." Paige says, trying to calm us down.

Paige goes back to cooking breakfast and Hunter sits down on the couch and watches TV.

"Well, as long as you know it happened." I laugh, going over to Paige and "taste testing" the food.

DaRae squeezes in between Hunter and Victoria and yawns.

"So, I guess Destany's still sleeping?" I say with a mouthful of scrambled eggs Paige is scolding me for eating.

"No, Destany is not sleeping." Destany finally comes out of her lair.

We all laugh and get back to doing whatever we were doing.

I'm still bothering Paige when I hear my text tone. Not even remembering Niall has my number, I pull out my phone thinking it's probably my grandma or something. All of my friends are here, anyway.

I look at my screen and see "Niall Horan". My eyes widen and I cripple over and start choking on my eggs.

Paige turns around and almost gives me the heimlich maneuver when I stand back up and swallow them.

"Excuse me." I say running to the bathroom.

OH MY FUCKING GOD DID NIALL HORAN JUST TEXT ME? Okay, calm down, Maela. Open the text.

I slide the text and type in the password to my phone.

The texting app opens and I see his text.

"Hello, love. How are you feeling after last night?"

I AM LITERALLY SCREAMING IN MY HEAD! LOVE! I'M FEELING FUCKING FANTASTIC YOU JUST TEXTED ME!

Of course, I can't say that. That would scare him off. I do not want to do that. So, instead of freaking out, I just respond, "Really good, actually. I didn't drink that much. What about you? Are you feeling hungover? Haha."

I calm myself down and unlock the bathroom door. When I open it, I almost have a heart attack. Everyone was crowded around the door.

"WHAT THe fuck? You guys scared me. Oh my god." I yell at them.

"You're asking US what the fuck? What about you? You get a text message, start choking on your eggs and then just run out of the room?" Hunter yelled at me.

"I'm sorry.... My, umm... My grandma texted me that...." I got cut off.

"Shut up. Who was it from?" Victoria asks.

"Okay... It was from Niall. But, Hunter and Paige, you guys can't tell anybody I have his number becuase if that gets out, it will be bad." I pleed them.

"Why would we tell anyone you had Niall Boran's number? We don't have any friends that care about One Direction." Paige says.

"Horan. His last name is Horan." I correct her.

"I don't give a fuck. Now, if you had Kristen Stewart's number. I'd be all over that. The things I would do to her." She says. Paige is literally in love with Kristen Stewart. She fangirled over her all throughout High School.

"Yes, we know, Paige." Destany says, rolling her eyes.

"Hey, at least I'm not like you guys." She tells us.

"Hey, we got to meet them," I say, "We win."

"BUUUUUURRRRRNNNN!" Victoria and DaRae say simultaneously.

"Anyway," Destany said trying to change the subject, "What did he say?"

"Nothing really. Just, 'Hello, love. How are you feeling after last night?'" I tell her ecstaticly.

"WHAT?!" Destany almost screams.

Just then, my phone rings again.

I look at it. Another text from Niall. I still couldn't believe I was texting Niall Horan. The boy I have been dreaming about forever is texting me. How?

"Haha ! Yeah, I just woke up, actually. I don't feel too bad."

I turn and walk towards my bedroom and I can feel everyone else just stare at me in disbelief as I walk away. I just wanted to be alone with my phone to revel in the craziness that is actually happening right now.

I plop down on my bed and unlock my phone.

"That's crazy. I woke up a couple minutes before you texted me, actually. Haha. How weird is that?"

I just roll around so I was laying on my back. I was in some sort of angel position. I just stared at my ceiling in disbelief. Was this really happening to me? I tried to pinch myself awake, but I guess it was real. I was really texting Niall Horan. I actually met him last night in a bar and he hugged me. He followed me on twitter. TWITTER! SHIT!

I probably should get on. People are probably freaking out over him following me and I haven't even been on.

I unlock my phone and open the twitter app. I swear, I had about 100 mentions. Everyone was telling me how lucky I was or asking me how I got him to follow me. I replied to them saying stuff like, "I DON'T KNOW HE JUST FOLLOWED ME I REALLY AM SO HAPPY!"

After answering about 50 of the questions, I gave up. No wonder celebrities don't answer all of their fans. It was so tiring.

I rolled back onto my stomach and that's when I got another text message.
