the stranger [h.s]

13

They are coming. Literally. The arenas lights are off, the stage is lit with the opening video.
I chuckle to myself as I watch Kiley and Lydia grip hands with each other and rock back and forth on their heels with excitement.
"Here they come!" Kiley shrieks as she grabs my arm. I glance over to them, their big eyes and connected hands.
For the first time, I actually feel bad for giving them such a hard time the whole time. They're excited, they finally get to see these five guys, that mean much more to them than I'm able to realize.
The opening video ends and a live video shot of the boys standing at the very top of the stage appears.
Butterflies erupt even harder in my stomach, Harry. He stands there smiling as he sings the first line of the opening song.
The arena goes absolutely crazy. I've never heard anything so loud.
"Holy Shit they're so hot." Kiley yells.

The song begins to play again and they start walking down the stairs and ramps.
Harry looks amazing, perfect even. His hair is messily laying against his face, hardly reaching his shoulders.
I find myself jumping up and down with the girls, getting excited as well.
One of the guys, Liam I think, walks by and winks at Kiley.
"What the actual hell, Kiley he just winked at you." I say grabbing her arm.
"Yeah I know." she says trying to brush it off as if it's no big deal.
Next, Harry and Niall (I think) walk by.
I freeze as Harry comes closer. What am I supposed to do? Smile and wave? Stand there awkwardly?
To late to make a decision now, he's directly in front of us, looking into the crowd singing.
Kiley is trying to conceal her self.
I'm crossing my fingers literally, hoping that he doesn't look down because then, he would be looking directly at me.
Shit. He's looking down.
My eyes and his are locked, I'm not sure what to do, so I just stand there.
He stares at me for what seems forever but in reality probably 5 seconds.
He smirks and averts his attention to
Kiley and Lydia. They were dancing and singing loudly.
How are they so good under that pressure of him watching them?
He smiles at both of them and sends them a wink, then prances off (literally.)
Something erupts in me, jealously.
Why am I jealous? He's not mine, never will be. I shouldn't be getting jealous over him smiling and winking at my friends instead of me. I'm just overthinking as always.

I'm wet.
With freaking Harry's spit.
He actually spit on us. That wasn't a joke.
"Once again, I'm wet because of Harry." Kiley says laughing.
I couldn't help but bust out in laughter.
"Heyy, your having fun." Kiley cheers bringing me into her arms.
She wraps her arm around my shoulder and we sway back and forth uncoordinatedly.
"Oh damn, he's about to grab his crotch." Kiley yells, unwrapping her arm and grabbing her phone.
Harry starts walking over to the spot in front of us that he's become very comfortable with.
"You're kidding, he's totally having fun with us tonight. He's about to grab his crotch right in front of us." Kiley says in shock.
Sure enough, he stops right in front of us.
Kiley looks up at Harry and becomes her flirty self, smiling, waving and smirking.
If I attempted that I would embarrass myself, badly.
Here it comes, Harry's leg goes up and his hand goes down, his bottom lip into his mouth.
Instead of watching his hand like the rest of the girls were, I was watching his mouth. The same mouth that kissed mine, what feels like forever ago.
A uncomfortable feel of sadness fills me. Since seeing my friends, he's paid no attention to me. I sound really bratty Thinking that, but it's just something I'm used to.
Guys finding my friends prettier than I am. It happens regularly. Third wheeling, being the awkward friend, that's literally me every time. It sucks.
I'm not attention seeking, it would be just be nice for a change I guess.
____
I'm sick of it now. Harry and Kiley have something going on.
They can't their eyes off each other.
The show is almost over, thank goodness.
Other than Harry and Kiley, the concert was amazingly fun!
Now, we are waiting for the encore.
I see a security guard in a neon yellow shirt walking towards us.
"Did we do something wrong?" Lydia ask us, her voice uneasy.
"Just wait to see what he says." Kiley says adjusting her posture just as the guys walks up.
He motions for us to lean in, we do exactly that.
"Ladies, I've been told to ask you three to join us backstage after the show. sound good?" he ask.
What.

"Yeah, sure." Kiley answers cooly.
"Okay, wonderful. We will come get while they are performing the last song, yeah?"
"Yes, thank you." Kiley says smiling at the man.
"Okay ladies, enjoy the rest of the night." he says smiling.

What the hell just happened.
