Moments In Time

Chapter One: Ally

My best friend and I are going shopping. I was totally against it the whole time, but of course, she forced me into it. I hate everything mainstream: cable, modern music, malls, all that crap. I hate it. I do have the decency to listen to music, I have heard some modern pop songs and whatnot. On the other hand, my best friend Hannah, is the complete oppisite. She's a 'fangirl for life.' She loves One Direction and Maroon 5 and Ariana Grande and just about every Nickelodeon show and it's kind of annoying. But funny. It is funny. She's always talking about shipping people and how much 'Larry Stylinson' exists and how cute 'Niam' is. But anyway, we're going shopping. At Forever 21. Shoot me now.

We're highschoolers, and we're going to a boarding school this year. The school is hosting celebrities this year. I'm not excited for the celebrities, but I do think it's funny that if the school had a lot of fans there, they would be attacking the celebrity. That would be pretty funny. 

"Ally. Ally? Ally! ALLY!" I hear Hannah saying. She's waving her hands in front of my face. I look up and glance out the window. We're here.

"Oh, yeah? Sorry. I'll get out first." I say and I open the door and walk into the store. It's so bright and colorful. "Fuck, why is it so bright?" I ask Hannah. She just laughs and drags me to the second floor. We go around the whole store picking out stuff we like and then trying it on. Once Hannah thinks we've gotten enough we go to the accessories.  It's right next to the Men's section and Hannah has her back to it. She's looking at scarves so I just walk around. I see a boy wearing red pants and I think he looks farmiliar. He calls a friend over, he has the greenest eyes and curly brown hair. "Oh shit." I think to myself. I know what you're thinking, "how do you know who they are? You hate mainstream!" Well, I do hate mainstream, but I still watch the news. The two boys are looking up at me when they call the rest of their friends over. They all stare at me. I casually walk over to them. 

"Hey guys, what brings you to New York?" I ask them. They're all staring at me in awe. I think it's beacause I wasn't fangirling. The one with the curly hair says something. "Wait, what was that?" I ask him.

"I said, what's your name?" Damn, why don't I remember their names. Theres Niall, Zayn, Lou..no wait, Louis, Harry, I think it's Harry talking to me, and, what was the last ones name? Liam? 

"Oh," I say, "my names Ally. What about yours?" The go through the line and say their names. "Oh, ok, nice to meet you." They look at each other confused.

The blond one - Niall I think he said - looks at me and says "Why aren't you fangirling?" Louis nudges him and tells him he shouldn't ask someone that. He looks are me and they all smile. Liam is just staring at me. He hasn't said a word the whole time. I find it kind of odd. But I think nothing of it and walk away.

Louis' phone starts to ring and he answers. "Uh huh, okay, yes we are, no he hasn't, PIZZA? OK!" and then he hangs up. "Guys, Uncle just called me, he wants to meet us out back and he has pizza!"

When Niall hears that, he takes off towards the back and yells, "last one to the limo only gets one slice of pizza!" And they all run, Liam kind of stumbles to run at first, but then he takes off. Hannah walks up to me. She walks around me and then waves her hand in my face.

 "Ally, what's wrong you look like you've seen a ghost." she says. I shake my head. I can't grasp the concept. Why was One Direction here? Why wouldn't Liam speak? I shake my head again and look at Hannah.

"Not a ghost," I say, "One direction."
