Dream /h.s/

II

I tensed as I felt the plane slowly taking off and I clutched on the armrest as if my life depended on it. I closed my eyes tightly and I keep telling myself, "breathe Mij, just breathe." I think I'm gonna be sick. I opened one of my eye slowly and looked out of the window. Big mistake. My nervousness just turned into a higher level and I can hear my heartbeat beating on my chest. 

"Hey, you okay?" I snapped my eyes open then slowly looked at Harry.

"Um, y-yeah. Yes I'm okay." I replied, but he isn't convinced.

"Um.. well, is this you’re first time riding a plane?"

“Y-yes.” I responded weakly. My stomach is feeling funny. God, I’m never gonna throw up with him sitting beside me.

After a few minutes, I finally calmed down.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”  

I sighed deeply. I felt the panic slowly vanished, as the plane reached the skies, and I heard the pilot letting us know that it is safe to take off our seatbelts.

"Yeah, I'm fine, really." I finally manage myself to smile at him.

He looked at me as if he was really making sure if I was okay, "Right.. I'm Harry, by the way." He said as he stuck his hand out to me. I'm gonna touch his hand.

"I'm Mij. Nice to meet you."  I placed my palm on his, and as weird as this sounds, there's like an electricity that flowed on both our veins, and we immediately pulled our hands back.

"Static?" I chuckled shyly.

He nodded. "Yeah.. So, you travelling alone?"

"Yes. And I'm guessing you aren't? You're bandmates are here."

"I thought you didn't know!" He laughed.

"Of course I do, I'm a big fan."

"Really?" He smirked. Oh that fucking smirk. "Hey guys this is Mij, she's a fan of ours, say hi."

And before I knew it they were all looking at me with big smiles on their faces.

"Hello!" "Heyyy!"

"Wait what's her name again?" I heard a confused Niall through the hello's and apparently Harry heard it too.

"Niall, I'm Mij."

"Niall her name's Mij." We both said at the same time, then we looked at each other and smiled.

"That's quite a unique name you got there, I've never heard anything like it" Niall said, looking amused.

"Yeah, thanks. My dad wants us to have weird names so.." I laughed. I am so goddamn nervous talking to them but I don’t want to be awkward around them. Calm down Mij, calm the hell down!

"Okay.. Mij tell us about you, what are your plans when you get to London?" Liam asked.

"Well I'm gonna take my chances and find a proper job. It's been my biggest deam to live and work there to be honest."

"Oh you’re staying there? Like, for good?” Niall questioned.

“Um, yes, when everything works out, then I’ll probably be staying.”

“What did you study in college?" Zayn asked. "I'm actually a registered Biomedical Scientist back in the Philippines, and the salary for biomedical scientists in the UK is insane. I desperately need money because I'm supporting my siblings' education. Plus, if I'm planning on living in London, the cost of living is pretty high right?"

"So do you have some where to stay in there?" I'm quite taken aback by Harry's question, and me and the boys looked at him curiously.

I saw Harry's eyes widened a little at our expressions.

"I-" 

"I-I mean, I could call someone I know that owns a hotel and you could.. Stay there if you like."

"Oh no, It's okay.. I've already paid for a little apartment in Central London. Thank you anyway."

"So, Mij right? How old are you? We didn't mean to interrogate you. You know, we're just wondering.." Louis asked.

"It's okay. I just turned twenty last February." 

"You're just twenty? And you finished college already? You must be a genius!"

"No no, we have different years of studying. In the Philippines, we have up to six grades, and after the sixth grade, the four years of high school starts, then after that, you're a college student. I graduated highschool when I just turned fourteen, I'm a bit young because I started schooling early. So I finished college at 19." I finished. They all look like they can't believe what I just said, but it is what it is.

"That is so cool." I heard Niall.  "I mean you can have a job and have your own money right away."

They all nodded. Well, except Harry.

"So you don't have to save up for college?" He asked.

"Well we have to, but the universities there are not too expensive so our parents can handle it."

He nodded. "That's incredible."

We continued talking about random things when Liam and Zayn yawned loudly.

"It was nice talking to you Mij but if you'll excuse us, we're completely tired and if you don't mind we're just gonna sleep a bit okay?" Liam said and the rest of the boys nodded.

"Yeah of course, take all the rest you need." I smiled warmly at them, then I turned to Harry.

"Are you going to sleep too?"

"Uh, yeah. But if you want someone to ta-"

"No no it's fine! You should get some rest too." I told him. His politeness is unreal.

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

I watched him close his eyes and I decided to get some sleep as well. And with that, I slept with the biggest smile on my face.
