STARGAZER

CHAPTER 21: STARGAZER

(DAY 17, 2/3 days in NEW YORK- MANHATTAN)

The sun is shinning and I can tell it's going to be an alright day.  Last night was crazy and my head was pounding. After the bed incident with Niall I just had to have more to drink to forget about it, so I did. I drank the rest of the wine. I need coffee, quick. The coffee shop was an easy walk down the street so I walked there in the button up tee shirt Niall gave me to wear and a pair of leggings underneath with black converse. I walked in to a small line, surprising for Starbucks  The lady at the front desk was sweet when I ordered my coffee and a quick pastry. I sat down at one of the window seats and pulled out the book I've been trying to read. I've gotten a few hours before the studio with Niall. 

It turned bitter when I looked up at the order line to see them.

The girls. Everyone knows them, everyone hates them, everyone wants to be them. They are the girls you always see in high school with the big boobs, small figure, and hair that is never perfect but everyone seems to think it is. I never liked them, except one of them. Her name is Ari. She was my best friend along side Beatrice.. until she turned into one of them. I looked back down hoping they wouldn't see me with my nose buried in my book. I was wrong.

"Hey, well look who it is!" Ali, the leader of the pack called out. "It's Sophia! How are you?" I looked up from my book and smiled, obviously a fake one. 

"I'm doing alright, you?" I looked Ari straight in the eye, hoping she'd know all the pain she made me suffer through hurt her deep by just looking at me. Remembering what she did. 

"Oh you have to be doing more than great! You've got your new celebrity boyfriend, hows he doing?" 

I knew what Ali was doing. She was playing mind tricks on me. She was trying to know things about me and then use them later in life. Shes a psychotic person who hurts people, just like Ari. 

"You know what Ali?" I said standing up putting my bag around my shoulder with my coffee and book in hand. "I don't need to answer to you. You are a bitch and I don't need this shit around me. You stole my best friend, so why should I? Why should I answer to you." I spit out. I was angry. I saw Ali's face, plain like she's heard it all before. But then I saw Ari's face, scared like a little puppy. Like she was scared of me. I'm glad she's scared of me. She should be. 

I stomped out of there and back down the road. I'm not mad, or sad. I'm happy. She gets what she deserves, but I know in the future Ali will do something. She always does. She took Ari from me, some of my happiness. But she won't take all of it. 

The street is crowded with girls. I went down the alley avoiding them before a girl noticed me, but I was too late. 

"Can we please have a picture!" A girl with long brown hair asked. I replied "I'm sorry, I'm not into pictures. But if you happen to take one while I walk down this alley you can." I laughed and walked away, at least they were nice about it. I heard a snap of the camera when I walked down near the trash cans, I turned around and waved and they waved back. 

The door was shut and I tried to get my key out but it was stuck in my pocket. Finally it worked and I opened the door and walked in. The door opened to an elevator and I typed in the floor we stayed on. I finally made it and walked into our hotel room.

"GOOD MORNING." Harry and Louis said in unison as I shut the door. Liam walked over to me and put his hand on my hip and his other hand in mine. He started singing "Shut the door, turn the lights off, I wanna be with you.." I laughed and pushed him away. 

"So where's Niall?" I asked them. 

"Out with Zayn." Louis said. "They're out to get a quick bite to eat then they said they'd come and pick us back up for the studio time."
