"what the hell happened to you?" Lauren asked louder than necessary.

"harry happened, can you just help me please?"

"harry ay?" she wiggled her eyebrows up and down.

"stop it jauregui"

"stop what?... styles.." she smirked.

"LAUREN!"

"okay okay I'll stop!" she laughed. Lauren's my best friend, besides harry, I've known her since we were babies, our moms are best friends.

"can you just do my hair? please?"

"you and harry would be so cute together I don't get why you guys don't just.."

"lauren stop that's so gross.. he's my best friend."

she gasped and held her chest, "I thought.. I thought I was your best friend.."

I rolled my eyes at her playful dramatics, "we are lauren.. I technically met you first.. PLUS you and harry are really close too. ever since I introduced you guys in the second grade we've been the three amigos"

"aw look at you speaking spanish.." she poked my side and then walked upstairs into her room. I followed and as usual it was a mess, clothes, shoes, everything all over the floor.

"I bet that turns harry on.." she walked into her bathroom, "oh yes mani speak de spanish to me please! por favor!" she made fake moans.

"laaaauren please.." I covered my ears like a little kid. She's always teasing me about harry, telling me she knows he likes me which is stupid because like I said before, we're best friends.

she laughed loudly and continued going through her cabinet looking for whatever she needed to tame the mess that was my hair.

"oh yeah lauren, zayn said hi.." I called out while she was messing around in her bathroom. I heard falling bottles followed by a "shit!" I started laughing knowing that she dropped something at the mention of zayn.

"he did?" she popped her head out from the door trying to hide her smile.

"yup.." I got up and walked towards the bathroom.

"thank you so much Lo" I looked in the mirror admiring her work. She was good, really good. I always left her house feeling like a million bucks. She practically saved my ass all of high school whether it was homecoming, a pep rally, prom, graduation you name it.

"it's no problem mani you know i got you" she gave me a hug, "plus I'm sure harry will loooooove this red." she flicked my hair over my shoulder and smiled at her work. I sighed and didn't bother to fight her about her harry comment.

"hey can I come over tomorrow?" she asked while I was walking out the door.

"of course!" I yelled from my car. she gave me a thumbs up and I drove home. I glanced down at the green clock radio as I pulled up to the house: 8:47

I shook my head not even realizing how long I'd been at Lauren's. I walked in and to my surprise the house was pretty quiet.

"hello?" I called out.

"hey normee" Niall popped out of the kitchen. normee, a nickname he gave me the first few times we met since he could never remember normani.

"hey niall" I smiled at him. Niall was a sweetheart, always has been. He was your "typical white guy" with his blonde hair and blue eyes. He was funny, charming and according to himself oh so smooth with the ladies.
