~ Chapter Fifteen ~

"Alright, you know the drill, girls." Miranda called out as we all entered the living room. She started talking to the cameramen, filming some kind of opening lines. 

"Hey, Al!" Simone called out from across the room, an annoying fake smile slathered across her features. "Good luck! Hope you make it!"

I glanced around me wildly, looking for another girl named Al. There was no way that Simone, queen of the fakes, would be wishing me, her sworn enemy, luck.

"Well, er, uh, thanks?" I replied with unsureness, once I realized that she had been talking to me. She giggled and turned away. 

Okay, what was that? 

"It's because the boys are watching," Trinity said under her breath, not sparing a look at me.

"What does that have to do with it, though?"

Trinity almost rolled her eyes at me, her head swiveling towards my direction (no pun intended.) "You're their favorite person here, right now. If she acts like you two get along, they might keep her. Although I'm praying they don't. That girl is faker than diet Dr Pepper."

"Ah," I replied. I noticed that Trin had a slight tremble to her hands, as if anticipating to be sent home. Awkwardly, I put my hand on her shoulder. 

Help, I have no idea how to do this 'comfort' thing!

"It's been another great week! Enjoyed getting to know each of you better," Harry said robotically. 

"Unfortunately, it's that time again.. We have to send five of you home," Liam continued on, his eyebrows furrowing just a bit.

"Just remember that we love all of you and have loved getting to know you guys on a personal level," Zayn said with absolutely no enthusiasm. It was almost amusing.

"So don't be down, keep a smile on your face." Niall added, the only one smiling happily and seeming sincere about the words they had been told to say. 

"We'll be right back with our decisions!" Louis over-exaggerated. 

Within three minutes, most of the cameras, the boys, Miranda and a few other sound people were gone.

Trinity noticed a few girls starting to gossip (AKA boss around everyone around them) and spoke up, "If one of you says something out of spite to any other person here.. Don't forget I'm an excellent sock thrower. Ask my cousin, he had a baseball sized bruise for a week."
