Aloha Aloha ✩ Harry Styles (Editing)

Chapter 8

"I was so hungry," Niall says, eating his last pancake piece.
"I notice," Keanna says, smiling.

Madison was again in our table, our quiet table. The girls asked for a break and here they are. There was no many chat as we were all eating. Actually, the girls too. They were sharing some Oreos. I could see how Keanna twists the cookies and removes the inside and gives the cookie to Madison. She turns to me, and smiles.

"Makikonu loves the outside," she says. "I love the inside."
"The inside is better," Niall says, taking the last sip from his milkshake.
"Most people think that," Madison says, shrugging.
"Hey, are you going to visit a place here today?" Keanna asks.
"We were going to plan it later," Louis says.
"That means that we don't know," Liam says, smiling.
"Mmm..." Madison thinks and sees Keanna. "Do you think they should go to the ice pond?"
"What?" Louis says. "Are we going to do ice skating?"
"The pond isn't frozen at all," Madison says, laughing.
"I thought so," Louis says.
"And what we can do in there?" I ask.
"Interested?" Keanna asks. "Get your swimwear."

✩ ✩ ✩

"It's so warm outside," Niall says, taking off his shirt and putting on a white one. We were back in the hotel, changing our clothes and packing what we would need. Keanna and Madison would wait us outside the restaurant.
"I know," I say putting on my shorts.
"What do you think the ice pond is?" Zayn asks.
"Definitely not an ice skating place," I say, grinning.
"Well, I thought so!" Louis exclaims.
"Maybe it's just a pond," Liam says.
"Hey, what do you think about the girls?" Niall asks.
"I think Madison was flirting with you, Zayn," Louis says.
"What?" he replies. "I saw she was flirting with Niall!"
"What?" Niall asks.
"And what about the smiley girl? Keanna?" Liam asks, putting on his cap. "She's really funny and cool."
"She's really hot," Niall says and I glare at him.
"Wait, you like her?" Louis asks to me.
"No," I say, shaking my head and watching my phone.
"Oh," Liam says, laughing. "You like her."
"No," I repeat.
"Harry, what's the point of being bandmates if you keep secrets?" Zayn asks.
"Maybe I do," I say, shaking my head again. "I dunno."
"Well, start knowing it," Niall says, patting my back, "because we are not going to stay here forever."

"Hey!" Keanna shouts as we jump out of the Van.

She has her hair now tied in a laced braided bun and is wearing a turquoise tank top and white shorts (which were her swimsuit), silver sandals, and a white anchor necklace. Madison has her curls combed as the last time I saw her and is wearing a pink pastel tank top and blue shorts, white converse and white framed sunglasses.

"So..." Niall says.
"So..." Keanna replies. "I am driving. Harry, want to be shotgun?"
"Yes he wants," Louis says, patting my shoulder and grinning.
I open the door for Keanna first and she smiles, "Thanks."

I smile, too, and shut the door. I get onto my seat and look back. Everyone else is sit in the large sofa. Even Niall crosses his legs.

And I can say that they are all more comfortable than me, though I don't mean it because of the space.

"Is it far?" Louis asks.
"Not so much," Madison says, locking her phone.
"What if we play a game?" Keanna suggests, turning off the radio.
"Like what?" Liam asks.
"Two truths and a tale," she says.
"I love that game!" Madison says. "We always play that in the summer camp."
"How do you play?" I ask.
"Well, you tell three statements about yourself," Keanna says.
"One of them must be false, the others true," Madison continues. "The others have to guess which is the false one."
"Right," Zayn says.
"Okay," Keanna says, smiling. "Start from the back."
"Well," Liam thinks. "My birthday is on August 29, I have a sister called Susie, and I love chocolate."
"Guess," Keanna says to us.
"You don't have a sister called Susie," I say, obvious.
"Right," Liam says.
"My name in arabic means "Beautiful King", I have three sisters, and hate chicken," Zayn says.
"The one of the arabic name," Louis says.
"No!" Zayn exclaims, laughing. "That's true!"
"What?" Louis asks, surprised.
"You love chicken," Niall says.
"Right!" Zayn says, still laughing.
"Mmm..." Niall thinks. "I am Irish, my favorite color is blue, and I am naturally blonde."
"Your favorite color isn't blue?" Keanna guesses.
"No," Niall says, smirking. "I am naturally brunette."
"What!" Madison exclaims.
"Yeah," Niall says, nodding.
"Well, I am Louis William Tomlinson, my girlfriend is Eleanor Sophia Calder, and I like The Fray."
"Eleanor second name is Jane!" I exclaim and he nods.
"I work in a restaurant, love to dance, and like drink milk," Madison says.
"Love to dance?" Liam guesses.
Madison shakes her head, "I am allergic to dairy products!"
"Oh damn," Liam says.
Keanna then looks at me an motions me to start, "My hair is originally curly, I like golf and my favorite color is red."
"You don't like golf," Zayn says and I shake my head. "Really?"
"You have been absent so many days bro," Niall says.
"You like golf, too?" he asks.
"Yes!" Niall exclaims, laughing.
"Okay," Keanna says, laughing. "I was born in 1998, my aunt works as an ESPN reporter and I have a boyfriend."

My eyes widen. She has a boyfriend? But it isn't true. Well, maybe.

Why do I worry? I don't like her. Well I do... No I don't. Mmm...

I hope that's the false one.

"Your aunt doesn't..." Louis starts,
"No!" Keanna says, laughing.
"She does works there?" Niall asks.
"Yes!" Keanna says, smiling widely. "Keep guessing!"
"Your weren't born in 1998," Zayn says.
"What!" Keanna exclaims. "Of course I did! Are you calling me old?"
"No," Zayn says, laughing.
"Do I look like a grandma?" Keanna asks, laughing too. "I don't have a boyfriend! You are a bad guesser."

Suddenly I relax.

✩ ✩ ✩

Keanna parks the Van in another restaurant.

"Weren't we going to a pond?" Niall asks.
"Look further in your window," Madison points.

I look through Keanna's window and what I see is water. There is a small, metal banister all across the edge of the street for security. Keanna jumps off the Van as well as everyone, and we admire the scene from behind it.

The sun is still up, giving the enough light to make everything to look better. The clouds are nowhere to be seen. The water in the pond isn't very dark. It is a little transparent, and the sun reflects itself in it.

"It looks amazing," Niall says.
"Yeah," Madison says, smirking to Keanna.
"Wanna get into the water?" Keanna asks.
"Yeah," I say, smiling and looking to the banister. "How do we get there?"
"Jumping," she says.
