CHAPTER 2
Emily's P.O.V.
As we walked through an apartment building, my mom babbled on about how much fun I was going to have in England and how there were so many friendly people here. My mom grew up in England and had always been completely in love with it, so hearing about it can get kind of annoying.
We walked into a large elevator with mirrors for walls. When I looked at my reflection, I saw that my hair was a complete mess. I sighed at how impossible my hair was to manage sometimes.
When we stepped out of the elevator my mom handed me a key ring with 2 keys on it. One was labeled "M" and one blank.
"The 'M' on that key," she said gesturing at the key, "stands for Mom. I decided that since you are 18 now, you should have more freedom and privacy, so the other key opens the door to your apartment."
"I get my own apartment?!" I asked surprised
"Yup! Right down the hall from me. You're only 3 doors down, so if you ever need me, you just have to walk 10 steps!"
"Oh my gosh, thank you mom!" I gushed. I was actually really excited! I was actually going to live on my own! We sort of, but still!
"No problem sweetie! No I'm going to go unpack and suggest you do the same. Come to my apartment at 7 o'clock sharp for dinner."
"Alright!" I said as I pecked her on the cheek.
As I walked into my new apartment I first noticed how open and bright it was! The entire wall in front of me was glass and the sun shined through beautifully. My furniture had already been arranged neatly by the moving people I assume. I walked around and found a small bedroom with my queen sized mattress in it. On top lay my suitcases and boxes of my stuff. I slowly took everything out and arranged things in my new room. When I was finished with that, I neatly put all of my clothes away and then explored my new apartment some more. I found a small kitchen with a fridge that was fully stocked with some of my favorite foods and a pantry with snacks.
With nothing left to do, I decided to go explore London. I took the elevator down and as I walked outside, I could almost taste the fresh air! It felt so good to be free from all worries and stress!
I strolled down the sidewalk slowly and windowed shopped. Suddenly, I noticed I was really hungry. I looked at my phone and saw it was only 5 o'clock, so I looked around for a café or a restaurant. Eventually came upon a place called Nando's that had a wonderful scent wafting from it.
As I walked in I noticed there were very few people here. A waiter came, seated me and then handed me a menu. I just ordered a salad and water since I knew I would be having dinner with my mother later. As the waiter walked away, I noticed a group of boys sitting at a table a few feet away from me. They were being very loud and it was pretty agitating. One of them say I was staring at them and gave me a huge grin.
"Quit staring and get over here!" he yelled at me.
I looked around, acting like I thought he was talking to someone else. Then he stood up, walked over to me and grabbed my hand.
"Hello love! My name is Louis William Tomlinson, but you can call me Harold!" he sang in a loud voice.
"No she can't!" another with dark brown, curly hair shouted.
"Oh shush it Harry! You ruin all the fun!" Louis shouted. "So what is your name?" he said, turning to me.
"Um, Emily," I replied shyly.
"Well Emily, it's your lucky day, because you get to eat with ONE DIRECTION!!" he screamed obviously as loud as he could. Just then a worker came out and told him he either had to be quiet or leave. The other 4 boys laughed and I bit my lip the keep from giggling.
Just then, Louis grabbed me by the wrist and tugged me over to the boys' table. Now I recognize them! I had seen them on T.V. a couple of times. Everyone at my school always talked about them. They are definitely much cuter in person than they are on all the posters my friends have.
"Oh my gosh! I know who you guys are! You're that British-Irish band from the X-Factor!" I said excitedly.
"Wow! Did you hear that Niall? She knows you're Irish!" a boy with dark hair and gorgeous brown eyes said.
"Everyone knows I'm Irish Zayn! Right?" he looked at me and winked.
Wow. He was perfect. Honestly, I had never seen more perfect eyes on anyone in my life.
Then I realized I was staring so I responded with, "Huh?"
All the boys laughed, and I blushed madly.
"Aw, it's alright love! Niall is very breathtaking, isn't he?" Zayn said
This time both me and Niall blushed while the other boys laughed.
"Okay, c'mon guys. Enough is enough," another said while laughing. He was obviously the one in charge of all of them.
"YOU ARE NO FUN LIAM!!" Louis yelled way to loud.
"Yeah, c'mon man! Loosen up!" Harry whined.
"I'll loosen up when you 2 act your age!" Liam responded
"Never!" Louis responded half crying, half yelling.
"Okay, why don't we stop arguing and eat now?" Niall said already digging into his food. (Boy, could he eat!) During our 'conversation' we hadn't even noticed that our food had arrived.
"Yummy!" Harry said with excitement.
"Come sit next to me Emily and I'll officially introduce you to all of the boys!"
"Alright!"
"Okay, so next to me, we have Harry, then Liam, then Zayn, and of course, adorable, wittle, innocent Niall!" Louis said in a baby voice. Niall glanced up from his food and glared at Louis, so he acted terrified and hid his face behind my hair (which was still a mess by the way).
After I finished eating, I laid a twenty on the table. Louis picked it up and put it back in my hand.
"What are you doing? I need to pay," I said confused.
"We shall pay for you am lady!" Louis proclaimed.
"I really cannot let yo-"
"Ahh, but you must!" he said cutting in, "because you have money from the U.S. and we are in England!"
"Oh. Right." I responded feeling stupid.
As we walked out of the restaurant, I exchanged numbers with all of the boys. I gave them my phone to put in their numbers, and I put mine in all of theirs. Then I told them I had to go because it was already 6:45.
"Would you like us to walk you back?" Niall asked. There was something about the way he looked at me. Almost like he longed to say something, but couldn't find the words to say it.
"No, but thanks anyways," I replied with a smile.
"If your sure," he said back, "Text us tomorrow then!"
"And by us, he means him," Zayn said with a sly smile and the other boys laughed. Again, Niall and I both blushed.
"Okay, I'll see you all later then?" I asked
"Absolutely!" they all responded at the same time.
