Little Miss Minter//Miniminter//Sidemen

We're back from Nandos now and it was honestly just like normal food. I don't get the big buzz about it. But obviously I couldn't say that in front of anyone because they'd probably kill me. I'm currently sat in the living room listening to music with Simon, Josh, Tobi and Jj. Jide keeps stealing the speaker and blasting his music but we soon change it to some random song. All of a sudden Sunshine by TIEKS comes on and I get up from the sofa. I start dancing around the room singing along jokingly. Josh laughs at me and Simon joins me dancing.

"Guys! Ethan and Harry are here." we hear Vik say. I turn towards the door to see Vik with two boys stood behind him. Great the first time I meet Harry I'm doing a stupid dance. The all too familiar feeling of panic rushes through my body. I think Harry can sense it.

"Hi I'm Harry." he says sitting on the sofa casually. For some strange reason this relaxes me.

"I'm Ethan. Wait we've already met" the other boy states laughing at his mistake.

"Hi. Erm...excuse the dancing. That's not a regular thing I promise you." I say sitting down embarrassed.

I unlock my phone to sort of remove myself from the awkwardness, as the boys talk about stuff to do with their channels and some video they're filming soon. The boys have uploaded the videos I filmed with them the other day so I decide to read through the comments. Most of them say things like:

Milstar123: Simon has a sister? What? OMFG she's gorgeous❤️

Fangs: Ooo does this mean I have another child?

Zerkaa: She's actually a natural. Can definitely see we're going to get along just fine😊

NemoMinter: Ooo a Miss Minter. Yass. She needs her own channel😍❤️

But their are a few that are just rude and mean in general:

Scotty: Eww. Wtf? Why's she living with you?

JosiahH: Please tell me this is a one time thing. I hate her.

I just shrug them off. I'm used to bïtchy comments from people at home so it doesn't really make a difference. As I'm reading the comments I get a notification that I have a text from Nick.

From Nicky Dicky🖕: Hi. Just checking you're ok. I miss you already shïtface x

To Nicky Dicky🖕: Hi I'm fine. I miss you to twâtface x

I lock my phone and look up to see Harry staring at me. Nobody else has noticed because they're all still talking amongst themselves. I stand up and go into the kitchen to avoid speaking to them. I hear them start to play Blinded By Your Grace by Stormzy and I can't help but sing along quietly. I jump up onto the counter top and pull out my phone again.

"Lord I've been broken. Although, I'm not worthy, you fixed me." I sing along as I scroll through my pictures to find the perfect one to post to instagram. I finally decide on the perfect one. It's a black and white photo of me, Jide and Simon which was taken over two years ago. I still love it to this day. I post the photo and tag them both captioning it "#TB to the time Jj and I dunked Simon in the pool right after this photo was taken. Sorry Simon. Ly both so much❤️"

Almost instantly floods of likes and comments start appearing on my screen. I guess someone linked my insta in the description of their video.

"Hi...You okay in here?" I look up to see Harry in the doorway.

"Oh...yeah I'm fine...erm...yeah"I stutter.

"You don't like new people do you?" he asks sitting next to me on the counter top.

"Not really no. I just find it awkward meeting new people." I reply. "Especially when I meet them when I don't expect it."

"Yeah I get you. Anyway I came in to ask if you wanted to watch a film with us." Harry says twiddling his thumbs. It's almost as though he's nervous.

"Yeah sure but only if it's not one of those shïtty ones Simon used to always watch." I reply jumping off the counter. Harry just laughs and smiles as he follows me back into the living room. I sit down in between Harry and Jj.

We end up watching "A Quiet Place" which I really enjoyed. I'm currently sat with my head resting against Harry's chest falling asleep. I fight to stay awake and decide we're going to have to do something to keep me awake.

"Si, I challenge you to a dance off like we used to do. Jide you have to join in to." I say sitting up. Maybe a little too fast though because I go dizzy.

"Challenge accepted." Si says jumping up from the sofa.

"I accept to. But only if we can dance to that song you used to be obsessed with." Jj says standing up and stretching.

"LOW! YES OH MY JESUS. WOO! I'LL BEAT YOU BOTH" I squeal in excitement. Tobi starts playing the song through the speaker and soon Jj, Simon and I are flying around the room in all different directions laughing and goofing around. Ethan is sat laughing at us. Harry is shaking his head as if we're mental. And Josh is filming us, for once I don't actually care about what I look like or how stupid I seem. I honestly love how comfortable I am around these guys now.
