I wake up to a cool breeze on my face. The air smelled of pancakes, which means breakfast was ready. I pull myself up, ready to go downstairs. As I walk down, a few kids are returning to their rooms after eating. A few "Hellos" are thrown my way, and I return them. I haven't seen my best friend Madelyn yet though. I think she's downstairs. I reach the dining room, where there's conversations running up and down the tables. I quickly grab a plate for myself and sit down next to my friend Oliver. He's 18 in a couple days, which means he'll be on his own soon. I'm almost there too, just a month to go. There's very little chance for me to be adopted at this age, so i'm just waiting it out.
"Hey Kathryn, how'd you sleep?" Oliver says to me, mouth full of food.
"I slept alright, how about you?" I answer, he finishes chewing before continuing.
"I slept badly, actually. But, I heard of something exciting happening today so I'm too excited about that to be tired" He tells be quickly, before shoving nearly half a pancake into his mouth.
"Wait," I tell him. "What's happening today?"
Oliver chews for a second before turning back to me. "There's news of a famous celebrity coming today, we don't know who it is yet. It's a secret."
My heart begins to beat fast, wondering who it is. The people I'd want it to be probably wouldn't even come close to this place though. My hopes die fast, but i'm still excited to see who it is. Next to me, Oliver waves to me and I see he's done. He gets up and goes upstairs. I quickly finish my plate to go get ready.
After I've showered, I walk to my room in search of some clothes. I rummage through my dresser, looking for an outfit that's a bit more presentable for the occasion. I find my favorite black skinny jeans first, deciding to pick my outfit around this. I find a basic cropped white hoodie to throw on. I finish getting dressed and start on my makeup. I do my entire face, deciding it's a good day to do so. After doing a simple eyeshadow, I do my eyeliner and lashes. I finish off with a swipe of lipgloss and I move on to hair. Wavy hair is the move today.
A few minutes later I'm in front of my full-length mirror, satisfied with my look today. I hear somebody yelling downstairs and commotion following. I run to open my door and I see everyone running by to head downstairs. I look for Oliver, who rooms right across from me. I walk across into his room. He's laying on his bed, headphones on and so loud I can hear his music. I walk over and tap him. His eyes open and he slides off his headset.
"What is it, Kath?" He says.
"I think the mystery person is here now, wanna come with me?" I ask. He just nods and gets up.
We go downstairs into the main room, where all the commotion is. I scan the room to see who's here and my heart races. My eyes land on familiar brown eyes that I've seen a million times. I gasp, and that's when my mind finally realizes that Liam Payne is in my living room.
