Alexa's P.O.V
----------------

I wake up to my obnoxious alarm blasting not even a foot away from my head. I groan and slowly sit up in bed. Disarming my alarm, I let out a long yawn. Slowly getting out of bed I slip into my slippers and pull on my robe. My walk-in closet is full of possible outfits. I chose a pair of high waisted shorts, My graphic tee that says "I'd rather be a mermaid," and a pair of red converse. Lastly, my black sunglasses, that look like raybans but are definitely not, slide on top of the pile. After my warm shower, my hair is blow dried and pulled into a high ponytail.

&-&-&-&

The living room is empty as I walk in. Guess I'm the only one who has an alarm for 7. As I walk into the kitchen the smell of cinnamon and sugar greet my nose. I realize I'm sorely mistaken when I notice the 5 sleepy boys half a sleep at the table, and my uncle who is now cooking French toast.

"Morning." I say. The boys look up. Except for Zayn who I think is asleep.

"Good morning, Alexa!" Louis exclaims. The other boys flinching at the sudden noise.

"Quiet down, Lou!" Harry's voice raises. I giggle and open the fridge.

"What's the plan for today, Paul?" Pulling out a bottle of orange juice I sit down next to Harry at the table.

"Well today the boys have an interview with The Chatty Man."

"Ohh! I love that show!" I mini clap as I take a sip of my orange juice.

"Wait," Zayn asks.

"So you know who the chatty man is, but couldn't care less about One direction?"

I shrug. "He's funny."

The boys all stare at me in shock. "So are we!" Louis pouts.

"Nah, you guys are just so annoying, it's funny." I joke.

"Thank you?..." Niall says.

"Wait a minute!" Louis shouts.

"That was an insult!"

I giggle and all the boys pretend to be mad.

"French toast for everyone." Paul says as he sets the plate down in front of us. The boys waste no time snatching a piece from the center. Niall, who took three is now drowning the toast is syrup. I take one and sprinkle it with the powdered sugar. As I look up the plate is empty and so are the boys'.

"Woah." I breathe. They all look up expectantly.

"What?" Louis says simply.

"We're hungry boys." Niall says reaching for mine. I slap his hand away and he pouts. Literally pouts.

"Harry...!" I hear paul exclaim from the living room.

I give Harry a puzzled look.

"Alexa...!" Now it's Harry's turn to give me a puzzled look.

"Both of you, just come here."

"Ooohhhh...." The boys say like we're still in elementary school.

Harry and I hesitantly walk into the living. Entering, I notice the television on.

"Heyy, Paul." I shift on my feet uncomfortably. I hate being in trouble. That guilty feeling you get before you even know what you've done.

"What's this about?" He asks pointing to the screen. It's the interview from last night. Paused at the part where the camera was focused closely on my embarrassed face.
