Unexpected Love

Chapter 3: Friday

CHAPTER 3

ATHENA’S P.O.V.

Friday morning, my eyes fluttered open to my favorite sound in the entire world. ‘It’s gotta be youuuu. Only youuu.’ Harry belted. 

“Athena wake up, today is the day! Wake up, wake up, wake up!” Amanda yelled, running into my room and jumping onto my bed.  She was holding her iPod, which was the source of Harry’s voice.

I shot out of bed and glanced at the clock on my right. It read 10:28. “We’re leaving at noon! It’s about a 2 and a half hour drive, so we’ll get there at about 2:30, and we can stalk the boys!” Amanda said, laughing. 

I laughed. “You seriously expect me to be ready to see my future husband in an hour and a half?” I said. “Well, we meet the boys at 5, so we have to get there at some point!” She said, still laughing, and continued, “I’ll let you get ready. Breakfast is in the kitchen!” 

When she left, I climbed out of bed, opened my closet, and pulled out the outfit I bought when Amanda and I went to the mall on Monday. I spent 3 hours looking for it, it was a white lace top, denim shorts, and my white vans I brought from California. I put it on, looked at myself in the mirror and decided to deal with my hair and face after breakfast.

When I walked into the kitchen, I smelled bacon and french toast. Amanda had proved to be an awesome cook, so I’m sure this would be just as great. She was still in her pajamas, which was a good choice to make because she was currently spilling bacon grease down the front of her.

“Shit! I am such a klutz, oh my god.” She exclaimed. I laughed. “At least the food will be good!” I replied. I took a bite of the bacon. “Seriously Amanda, if Niall ever tastes your food, you will forever be his princess!” “Aww, shut up.” She said, hitting me with a spatula. “I’m not kidding! it’s amazing!” “Just eat your food, okay?” She laughed. 

As I ate, I checked twitter. “Oh my God, according to this update account, they’re here in Michigan!” I announced. “Yay! I literally cannot wait for tonight.” Suddenly I saw something. A few people in my mentions congratulated me..why? Then..I saw it. I screamed. “Oh my God, what?!” Amanda yelled. I just continued screaming. Amanda grabbed my phone. “OH MY GOD!” She screamed. I grabbed her. “HARRY FOLLOWED ME! OH MY GOD HARRY FOLLOWED ME. HARRY KNOWS I EXIST. HARRY STYLES. HARRY EDWARD STYLES. OH MY GOD THIS DAY. AMANDA!” I yelled. We continued to jump, scream, and hug for about 5 minutes, before Amanda calmed me down. “Eat your food, before it get’s cold!” She exclaimed.

Good old Amanda. I swear, she and Niall were perfect for each other. I took a deep breath, and asked, “Do you think Niall will recognize you? Or will you have to tell him it’s you?” “I have no idea. What do you think?” She replied. “I think he will! If he really has studied you..ow!” She stabbed me with her fork. “No really! If he really cares about you like he sounds like he does, I think he will!” I finished. “How do you even know he cares about me? What if he DM’s long conversations to every fan of his?” “Amanda. Listen to yourself. Does that really seem likely? No! He likes you, I know he does! Seriously, you could be his princess!” I said.

“How about we just let whatever happens happen. Okay?” She said, as she took her plate to the dishwasher. 

“I’m going to get ready, are you okay? Can you walk to your room without collapsing?” She asked me, laughing. “I think I’m okay. I can breath normally now.” I said.

“Just don’t forget to thank him tonight! You know, when you and him are confessing your love for each other.” She winked. “Shut up!” I exclaimed. “Kidding..kind of. Okay, call me if you fall down the stairs.” She left the room.
