"You know that was actually pretty good," Liam remarked, "you've got a really nice voice." he gestured at Jackie. The others murmured in agreement. The "others" consisted of Harry, Niall, Louis, Zayn, Paul, and...Josh. Jackie heard herself say "Uh. Thank you," but her eyes were drawn toward Josh almost involuntarily. There was a bit of an awkward silence until Kaitlynn whispered, "Okay Jackie I need to pinch me. REALLY DAMNED HARD." That got everyone laughing. Well, everyone except Jackie and Kaitlynn, who were still rather slack jawed and trying very hard not to scream. Josh was laughing. God he was so freakin cute when he laughed. His eyes sort of crinkled at the edges and he--Josh suddenly stopped laughing and met her eyes. Shit, she'd been staring hadn't she. Jackie felt her face grow hot and she looked down at her hands, which were shaking so much her bracelets jingled. Thank god for Kaitlynn. "Well..." Kaitlynn cleared her throat, "Jackie is actually freaking out inside that you complimented her, and she can't believe people talented as you freakiN GODS would ever say that. But she's being cool like that." Jackie's cheeks flamed even more. Okay nevermind, screw you Kaitlynn. But they were chuckling, so it wasn't all bad was it? Kaitlynn was still talking, "I'm Kaitlynn by the way. I'm totally single...and Asian," she winked. Jackie had to laugh at that, "and this beautiful, and also single, talented girl, seventeen years of age is JAAACKIE DAAAY!" Kaitlynn was doing an infomercial voice. Jackie smiled, "Nice to meet you guys, can I touch your hair?" Finally something clever to say, Jesus Christ that took long enough. Josh looked at her and smiled, "Uhh sure. And I'm Josh, but for some strange reason I think you already know that." Niall was howling with laughter. Louis spoke up, "Sure thing babe, but don't mess up Zayn's nice ski slope over there," he smirked, "he'll punch you in the jewels. Ooh wait..." Zayn punched Louis right in the happysack. Louis doubled over in pain and Niall's loud laughter, along with everyone else's, scared away several pigeons. So this was what it was like to hang out with only some of the most famous people in the world. Jackie grinned, her day--her LIFE--just got a whole lot better. Out of the corner of her eye, she swore Josh was watching her.
