Fake - A Harry Styles Fan Fiction

Chapter 5

Leah's P.O.V.

I'm so excited! Today is the One Direction concert and Morgan and I are going to make it the best night of our lives! Well, if you think about it, we don't have to do anything! We already get to meet One Direction. That'll do it!

Morgan and I went shopping for posters and makeup since we ran out. First we went to Ulta, then we went to Hobby Lobby for the poster. We got really bored after that so we figured, why not go to the arcade? We had time to spare before the concert and it was a good day for it.

Once we get to the arcade, we go straight to the giant claw. Morgan spots a giant carrot that she wants and shuffles around in her purse for money.

"Uh! I can't find my wallet," she complains.

I, being the generous one, offer the two dollars she needs to play. "Oh my gosh, Morgan. Just take it!" I say holding out the money.

"No, it's ok. I have my own, I just can't find it."

"I don't care. Just take the money! Its only two dollars anyway. It won't make a big difference."

Morgan lets out a sigh. "Thanks, Leah."

She inserts the money, the machine spitting it out a few times, and starts to play.

"No, Morgan go to the right. No the other right! Go slow. Go slow! Stop! Perfect!" I say proudly with a grin across my face. The claw falls down right onto the carrot, clenches it, and slowly pulls it up. We were excited for a moment before we saw the carrot slowly slide off of the hook it was resting on. Now the claw only held the leaf. We waited anxiously for the claw to get to the drop box and it did, only for the carrot to fall directly on the side of the box. Half of the carrot was dangling over the empty box and the other half was in the tank.

I went to go get one of the machine workers and Morgan stayed with her carrot. I finally found someone standing next to a different claw machine.

"Excuse me, sir?' The dude turned around. He was kind of cute. He had a beanie with short brown hair sticking out of it, one black earring, blue eyes, and he was about my height.

"Yes, what do you need?"

"My friend picked up a carrot in the claw game but the claw dropped it on the box line. Would you mind helping us out?"

"No problem! Which claw game?"

"The one with the stuffed toys in it. Next to the gift shop," I point in that direction.

"Ok, just let me get my keys."

I just stand there and nod. While I was talking I noticed he had a name tag. I think it said 'Adrian'.

We walked over to the machine and Morgan was leaning up against the glass. She looked bored to death. Adrian got out his keys and opened the back of the machine. He reached all of the way in the front to grab the carrot and pulled it out.

"Yay! Thanks, Adrian?" Morgan exclaimed questioning his name.

"Yeah, and you're welcome!"

Adrian's P.O.V.

I was in the middle of emptying the coin box from one of the claw machines when a beautiful girl came up behind me and asked for me to help her out. The carrot she won was stuck and she wanted me to get it out for her. I stood speechless at the sight of her beauty and then finally spoke.

We walked over to the machine to find her friend leaning up against the window. That's not allowed here but I don't make a fuss. I take out my keys, almost dropping them, and open the back of the machine. I reach inside, as far as I could, and grab the big carrot. The lady thanks me as I give it to her. Now's my chance.
