The Secret Present of Love and Fame

Chapter 2

“Mom!  I’m home” I shouted as headed to my room. As soon as I reached it I headed to my computer and logged on to Skype.  1 new contact request from MikeR202. “well here goes nothing” I thought as I pressed the button. The second I pressed accept I got a call from Mike.

“hey Isa!”  Mike said happily.

“Don’t call me Isa until you prove to me that you’re not a liar.” I snapped as him.

“I talked to my cousin as soon as he reaches home he will talk to us. Oh, look he’s online, I’ll add him to our conversation” were the last words before I heard the beeping of a call next to a photo that read Harry Styles. My heart was racing, I can’t believe this. Then he appeared on our video chat. I went on invisible so no one would disturb this conversation.

“ Hey Mike, hi love” a familiar english accent rang as I immediately recognized it.  

“Hey Harry, haven’t talked to you in a while not including a few minutes ago.  How have you been?” he tried to make a conversation.

“I’ve been great! Just came back from the recording studio, we’re recording our new single live while we’re young, I really like it.” He answered.

“Oh ya, I’ve heard of that but I thought it was just a rumor” I had decided I had to talk or else it would just be awkward.

“No, it’s true, and it’s going great!” he answered “Love, why can’t I see you? I want to see your beautiful face” he said concernedly. My face went bright red and I was glad he didn’t see it, I relaxed and turned on my camera.

“Can you see me now?” I asked. As soon as I turned on the camera he looked at me with wide eyes like a child finding his blanket that he hadn’t found in 5 years.

He froze for a while and finally said “Yes, and you look beautiful as I said” as soon as he said that we both turned as bright as a tomato.

“I agree” Mike added since it was like he was erased from the conversation, but he had a furious look on his face, almost as if he was jealous and mad at his cousin.

Then, all I hear is this thick Irish accent, that I assumed was Niall, that said “Lad, I’m hungry lets go to Nandos!”

“I’m talking to my cousin and his friend from the US,” Harry shouted back. “I’m sorry about Niall, he’s just very hungry”.

“Don’t worry, if my sister was here, she would have done the same thing” I admitted nicely.

“Wait, your cousin and a friend, from the US? I want to meet them” Niall announced.

“Alright lad, come here” Harry mocked in an Irish accent. Niall stuck his tongue out as him and sat beside him.

“Hi guys” Niall said with his imitation of an American accent.

“Wasn’t the best American accent I ever heard” Mike argued.

“Mike, stop being mean to Niall!” I protested.

“Ya Mike, stop being mean to me, I’m on your friend’s side, she’s nice,” Niall babbled “What’s your name love?”

“Isabella, but you can call me Isa, or any other nickname you come up with” I said nervously.

“Great; Isa” Niall repeated while thinking.

“Hey, you don’t let me call you Isa” Mike complained.

“Ya, because I thought you lied to me, but I guess you can call me Isa now” I agreed. Something about my name made me remember that I had to do something, but I wasn’t quite sure what it was. Mike interrupted my thoughts.
