A Chance Meeting (1D)

A Trip to the Shops

Kate’s P.O.V

As soon as we walked in the door Nicola was on my case about Niall.

“Kate you need to spill like right now!” she says grabbing me and sitting me down on the couch.

“Ah what exactly am I spilling?” I reply.

“Don’t pretend like you don’t know what’s going on, I know you too well.” She says looking me straight in the eyes. God this girl doesn’t miss a thing does she? I mean yeah I do like him, but we only just met! As far as I’m concerned, I only see him as a potential close friend.

“Why does something always have to be going on? Can’t I just be friends with him?” I basically groan.

“Well I’d be completely fine with you being just friends, but there was some pretty sexual looks going on, here I’ll demonstrate.” She laughs apparently imitating my facial expressions, but created an expression only Mr. Bean would pull, which of course made me burst into laughter.

“I’m pretty sure my face didn’t look like that!” I say still laughing.

“Close enough to it! Anyway we need a plan!” she says completely serious again.

“Oh yeah what sort of plan?” I ask even though I had a pretty good idea of what kind of plan it was going to me.

“A plan that is going to win Niall over of course! We shall call it operation win Niall over, I know brilliant, isn’t it?” She says genuinely looking quite proud of herself.

“Nicola, we don’t need a plan. I just want to be friends! I’m serious.” I say.

“Nope, I’m sorry, one does not just want to be friends with Niall Horan.” Nicola says being deadly serious.

“Oh right, so you want to be more than friends with Niall do you?” I say slyly.

“Nope. You have first dibs and as I am a chivalrous person I don’t like to take things that aren’t mine!”

“Well he’s not mine either!” I exclaim holding my hands up.

“I’m sorry but the rule of first in best dressed applies here. You were first to meet him, thus making you best dressed.” She says pointing at me as she said “You”

“Whatever, well if I get Niall that means you have a Louis!” I say quickly trying to change the subject.

“I am quite alright with that!” she laughs.

“Can you believe it? Back at school we were so obsessed with these guys and were planning all our weddings and stuff with them. Never in a million years did I think this would happen.” I smile fondly at the memories of our abnormally large group of girls.

“Tell me about! We owe it all to you and your big nose!” Nicola laughs grabbing my nose and pinching it.

“Ouch that still hurts you know!” I say while rubbing my nose.

“Sorry!” she says totally not meaning it

“It’s kinda hard to believe that your sorry when your grinning from ear to ear!” I laugh

“meh you’ll survive! Am I the only one that’s hungry?” she asks looking around for some food, which was strange considering we were sitting in the living room.

“Yes! Though we have no food in the house because someone decided that it was better to wear it than eat it!” I say giving Nicola and accusing look.

“Bitch you made fun of me in the morning, you know better than to do that.” She says sending me her “well it was your fault” looks. I will admit, it probably wasn’t one of my smartest ideas making fun of her just after she woke up.

“Yeah well, we need to get food now don’t we?” I say.

“Alright lets go to the shops. We can get the ingredients for tomorrow night as well.” She say. Shit! I almost forgot that I had invited them over for tea tomorrow!

“What are we going to make?” I ask panicking just a little.

“How about Chicken Schnitzel, it’s quick and easy, yet still completely delicious!” Nicola answers.

“Good idea, make sure we get the right ingredients.” I say sternly. For some reason I wanted tomorrow night to be perfect, so finding out we have missing ingredients on the night would kill me!

“Yes ma’am! Come on! We haven’t got all night.” She says grabbing my arm and rushing out the front door. Obviously someone was keen to get some food…

Nicola P.O.V

Taking me food shopping isn’t something people want to do often. I often just grab anything that looks good and forget half of the things I should actually be getting!

“Kate! We have to get pringles, salt and vinegar ones! I love them!” I say getting really excited, I looooovvvvveeee pringles!

“How about I get what we actually need and you go get what you want?” she says looking at me and knowing I’d be no help to her at all!

“Sounds great! I’ll see you at the rego!” I say bolting off towards the confectionary isle.

Ahhhh I’m in heaven! I grab three packets of skittles, two packets of starburst lollies, two packets of chicos and four tins of S&V Pringles. As I walked back to the cash register I couldn’t help but feel that I had forgotten something, I carried on anyway. I suddenly realised to my horror what I’d forgotten!

“KATE STOP! I FORGOT THE NUTS!” I yell before she pays for everything. Oh wow, did I really just yell that out loud? Yep, according to the amount of people staring at me.

“Sorry. I forgot the nuts, I’ll just go get them shall I.” I say sheepishly running off to get the peanuts.

“Are you happy you’ve got your nuts now?” Kate laughs as she pays for the groceries.

“Yes I am thankyou! Could you imagine tomorrow night without peanuts? Alisha would have been very disappointed in us!” I laugh, remembering Kate’s birthday a couple of years ago where one of our best friends went absolutely crazy on peanuts. She even made a song “go insane, go insane, throw some peanuts make it rain!” For weeks after the party we found peanuts in places you don’t even want to know!

“I know! She would have killed us!” Kate says also laughing at our slightly crazy friend.

“You do realise that tomorrow night has to be epic!” I say becoming completely serious again.

“Agreed."

So here's the fifth chapter.! I'm not all that happy with it.... Next chapter should be better.! :) <3 x
