Nuria’s POV:
“Oh my god Elaine, what good is watching a movie without popcorn?!” I say with a hint of annoyance in my voice..
“Nuria, CALM... DOWN! Remember, you live near the supermarket, so one of us could just walk there.” Elaine says as she looks at me with a huge grin plastered across her face.
“Wh..what? Why are you looking at me like that?” Then I realise she wants ME to go while she waits.
“Oh ok, I see. You just wait here with your lazy self sitting on the comfy sofa, while I have to go and buy the popcorn, ok.” I said feeling lazier than before.
“Oh, you’re so lovely Nuria! Where would I be without you?” She says with a cheesy grin on her face.
“Nowhere, absolutely nowhere.” I joke. She laughs her funny laugh that I enjoy hearing because it’s funny.
“Funny, verrrryyyy funny” She says shooting me one of her signature ‘LOL’ looks.
As I walk out the door with my messy hair in a bun, sweats and uggs I shoot Elaine a funny look back, she laughs. She picks up Baby Styles (My kitten) and strokes him.
“Haha this is great! Best birthday/Slumber party ever (Luckily my parents are gone for a month)! I’m with my bestie and we are watching the funniest movies, drinking hot cocoa with those yummy mini marshmallows and our order from Nando’s should be here soon. Only, I’m walking to the supermarket getting popcorn, on my 16th birthday party”
As I walk past the driveway to our compound I notice five guys who look familiar as I pop my earphones into my ears. I get out my iPhone, punch in the pass code and I press shuffle. Rock Me by One Direction my favourite band ever comes on, I love that song. That’s when I realise, those five guys look like One Direction’s Liam, Niall, Harry, Zayn and Louis!
I stop moving for a few seconds and think.
Can One Direction really be in Egypt? Can they really be AT my compound? This must be a prank. It’s probably my dad pulling one of his stupid stunts on me again. Gosh I can’t believe he would hire look alikes!
I keep on walking and I smile to myself while thinking of ways to get him back.
Maybe I should hire a Tiger Woods look alike or a Drugba look alike (Drugba is a soccer player) for his party and see HIS reaction.
When I arrive to the supermarket I take out my earphones and grab a trolley, I put chocolate, extra fudgy brownies, a bottle of coke and 7 bags of popcorn for later that night in the trolley. Thats when I notice a perfect glossy magazine with One Direction in the cover. It’s title says: Is it true? Is One Direction going to live in Egypt for 3 years? Find out more on page 6.
“OH... MY... GAWD!” I yell in the middle of the supermarket clutching the what used to be perfect magazine to what is now a perfect crunched up magazine.
Everyone stares at me and this random woman says “Yalahweeee”
Somehow I manage to get everyones attention away from me. I get all my stuff and head towards the cashier as quickly as I could, cutting in front of everyone, handing the cashier two 20 LE notes and quickly get my change back as she can see I need to go... fast.
I sprint out of the supermarket clutching the magazine in one hand and the bag of deliciousness in the other. I arrive at my villa/apartment in a matter of seconds. I get out my keys, my hands are shaking so it’s pretty hard to get my keys in, so instead I ring the doorbell. It seems as if my hand is having a spaz attack or something because I can’t stop. Fortunately I stop when Elaine opens the door.
“ELAINE,” I enter the house “You have to read this!” I say trying not to break down and cry and I shove the crumpled up magazine in her face “NOW”
The Magazine falls to the ground and Baby Styles attacks it
“Ok ok gosh” Elaine says looking at me as if I’ve gone mental. She bends down and picks up the crumpled an now torn magazine
“Nyah” she says. She always says that when she puts a little effort into something.
I laugh because it’s funny.
Elaine’s POV:
I grin at Nuria because she laughed at me.
“Turn to page 6” Nuria says.
I do what she told me to do and my heart beats faster and faster after every word I read. I look up at Nuria with excitement in my eyes.
“Nuria...” I begin trying to be calm. “THEY GOT OUR EMAIL!”
We jump around in circles screaming, then I stop jumping and think. If they got our email then they must be here! So we leave the house still in our PJ’s/Sweats and messy buns and run around the building knocking on peoples doors trying to find out what apartment they live on. We go to the next building (There are two buildings in the compound).
We knock on the last door in the building and we hear someone with a thick Irish accent say
“Harreh! Get the door will ya? I’m eatin’ my Nandos and I dun’t want to get up!”
We smile to each other, when the door opens.
“Niall, you are such a lazy bu... Oh hey girls” Harry smirks at us, his dimples showing and we blush. That’s when I realise that Harry Flawless Styles is shirtless. I look down at my shoes and I notice that I’m wearing my old worn out uggs. Harry looks at me and Nuria pokes me in the side looks towards Hazza as if she’s trying to tell me to say something to him.
“ Uhm I...” I look into Harry’s beautiful intense green eyes and I forget everything I was about to say.
“Oi Harreh! Girls where?” Niall comes up to the door and eyes Nuria. She gives him #‘The Look’ And in response he bites his bottom lip.
So we just stand there in the doorway awkwardly for a couple of seconds.
“Why don’t you lovely ladies come in?” Nialler and Hazza say at the same time. They look at each other and laugh. Niall puts his arm around Nuria and guides her in, Harry does the same to me.
Niall brings Nuria to the kitchen and Harry brings me to the living room. Harry is speaking to me but I don’t notice what he’s saying because his smexiness distracts me. So I just nod. When I look back to see what Niall and Nuria are doing, It seems as if Niall is feeding her fries one by one. It’s really cute. I wonder If...
“So how long have you and Nuria been living here?” He says cutting off my thoughts.
“Uhm, I’ve lived here for nine years now, and Nuria has lived here for seven.” I say after counting on my fingers. “She was supposed to move to Thailand 3 years ago. But she persuaded her parents to stay.”
