We weren't the only ones in the hall.

I saw 3 figures, leaning against the wall. One was holding a guitar, another one was resting, and the last one was chilling, absorbed into the music playing on a Mac. Whatever/whoever they were, it was scaring the shit out of me.
I held onto Louis and Niall, because I was, to be honest, kind of scared. Actually, terrified. But the boys seemed as if they were blind, not caring the hell about what 3 creatures were in front of them.
"Hazza?" I whispered.
"Why the fuck are you whispering, princess?" He smirked.
I ignored his comment, and went on. "Can you turn on the fucking lights please?"
He thankfully, turned the lights straight on, and the 3 figures were shown, and their identity was clear.
It. Was. Emblem3.
I was doubting myself if I was hallucinating or seeing things. "Liam, is that Drew Chadwick, and Wesley and K-Keaton?" I gasped. It was my fangirling moment. And I was shaking like crazy. This is not the way I wanted to look in front of my future husbands. Life over.
"Yes, they are. Why, does Princess have a little crush?" Liam said. Everyone laughed, and I hid my face, in my T-shirt with Harry's face on. I smacked Liam in the arm and signaled him to stop there. Because my cheeks were getting redder the moment he mentioned crush.
Someone nudged my arm. "Hey, we never introduced ourselves properly." It was Drew. His arms were stone hard, even though I didn't feel them, I could see it. (Though I would love to feel it.)
Keaton and Wesley came over and sat down around me. "Let's play 20 questions and get to know each other."
I agreed and they started shooting questions at me.
"Full name?"
"Alexandra Rose Hastings."
"Siblings?"
"Nope."
"School name?"
"Beverly State High."
"Friends?"
"Um, Chloe and Ellie from my last school, and I got to know Jason, James, Greg and Evan from here."
"How old?"
"17."
"Status?"
"Single-pringle."
Keaton interrupted while Wesley was about to shoot something else at me. "Really, you're single? A beautiful princess like you?" He smirked with wide eyes, while I blushed like crazy. Again, for the second time tonight.
"Um, yeah, I guess." I shrugged it off.
But they wanted to continue. Oh boy. This time Zayn asked me one of his 20 questions. "So you never dated a boy?"
"I did, who do you think I am, a social loser?"
They all laughed, but silenced when Niall opened his mouth.
"Idol crushes?"
I hesitated, if to mention them or not. Harry noticed and was fully aware of what I was thinking, so he added, "and tell the truth," while winking at me. That sneaky cat.
"Uh, well, I guess it's Emblem3 and One Direction." They were waiting for me to say this, and awwed at me like a baby when I did.
I rolled my eyes. "But I guess it can change once you get to know them." I teased while they pouted. They were so adorable. 8 little puppies.
While we were goofing around and all that, I got a phone call, from Jason.
"Hey Jason."
"You idiot, come back home, it's 11. Your parents are worried."
"The fact that my parents were worried was lying because they aren't even in. They are in San Fransisco. And don't get all puffy at me."
"But we're worried, you're with a bunch of guys you don't even know!"
"Excuse me, I do know them. They're international pop stars, that's who they are."
"Alexandra, come back home. Call a cab, or anything."
"Dont' call me by my full name."
"I can do anything I want."
"No, I have more power than you."
"Not in this situation."
"Just come home, we're worried sick."
"What do you mean 'we'?"
"Greg, Evan and James are here with me."
"Say hi to them, will you, I gotta go, and don't you dare be waiting in front of my house."
I hung up before he had a chance to reply. The boys were staring at me.
"Um, hello? Earth to One Direction and Emblem 3?" I questioned.
Niall was the first one to speak. "Ali, he sounded like your boyfriend, are you hiding something here?"
Keaton teased. "Fishy, fishy." He smirked at ooohhed at me.
Everyone joined in, until I had to scream fucking loud to shut them up.
"Let's clear things up, he's not my boyfriend. Okay? I just met him today in school, and he lives nearby. He took my car, so that's why he knows where my house is. So, nope, I am still single-pringle."
But Harry shot me another question. "But how come all your friends are boys? Don't you have, you know, homies, like best friends forever, and all that stuff?"
I smirked, but sighed. I wish I did make one, quickly. I wanted to tell someone all this drama I am going through. I really need a personal diary. "I guess I am a boy magnet. I attract them so well, that they want to be best buddies with me." They all laughed and smiled.
Then Drew said. "You are one, you are totally gorgeous." My heart skipped a beat. Was it just him or was it me?
All I said was a 'thank you' but I wanted to say so much more.
We ended up watching a movie, Paranormal Activity, which I chose. Even though Harry and Zayn fell asleep, we woke them up at 1 because we all had to go home.
"Ali, you can ride with us! You live in Beverly Hills right?" Drew offered.
"Yes, please. Thanks." I smiled.
The whole car ride was awkward, since
a) I was listening to music and falling asleep
b) All the other boys were crowded in the front seat, while I was in the back
I think they were talking about me because I heard my name. I wanted to eavesdrop a little bit more, so I quickly leaned my head against the back chair.
"She's so cute." someone said. Awwwwwww, that's so cute.
"I know, I wish she'd just know how I feel towards her." Who's that? I wish I could figure out a way to find the difference between their voices. Is it just me because I never will.
"Me too, I mean, if you want her, that's fine, I mean, umm," and then they started whispering and muffling, and I couldn't here. I was frustrated, and decided to leave it until here, and dozed off to sleep.
***
The next morning, I found myself on bed. I was so confused, since I was just in a car, like a few hours ago. Keaton, Wesley or Drew must have carried me. The thought of any one of them carrying me pulled a smile onto my face.
Then I found Jason and Evan, sitting on the couch.
