The Bachelor [Niall Horan]

5

I was dreaming about a One Direction concert in Alaska with Sandra Bullock for an opening act when Sandra started calling my name.

"Mae. Mae! MAE!"

"Sandy it's bedtime." I mumbled.

"Did you just call me Sandy?" Blair said, and I opened one eye.

"Sandra Bullock doesn't open the One Direction concerts, does she?" I asked and Blair laughed.

"No. Come on. We have to get ready. We're getting our first date card today!" She squealed.

I sat up and yawned, checking the time on the clock next to the bed. 9:00

"Are you going to shower?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'll be quick." She said, walking into our bathroom in a towel.

"No take your time." I said, standing up and pulling open a drawer to find something to wear.

An hour later, we were both sitting on the floor with our hair done, finishing our makeup.

"WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?" Faith yells, running into our room.

"Good morning Faith!" I laugh, finishing my makeup.

"Oh thank the Lord." She sighs when she sees our outfits. I'm in a plain black romper with my hair curled and basic sandals and Blair is in a sundress.

"Some people are really dressed up." She laughed.

"I think you look really cute." Blair said, standing up with me to follow Faith downstairs.

We walked into the living room, where cameras were already set up.

We took spots on the couch and began to joke with the other girls who we had met the night before.

"Its here!" Someone yelped, seeing the envelope.

Cameron stood up and walked over to pick it up.

"Mae, Faith, Blair, Olivia, Cameron, Gemma, Hannah, Lexi, Nicholle, Lindsey, Kirsten, Riley, Ashley, Britt, and Kimberly. The more the merrier, especially when s'mores are involved. Niall"

"What does that even mean?" Nicholle asked.

"It means we're all on the date." Cameron shot back before mumbling something under her breath.

"Sounds like fun." I spoke up, noticing the tension and confusion in the room.

"Yeah, I love s'mores." Blair added and a few girls nodded.

As it grew closer to sundown, the tension began to grow.

"I don't know what to wear." Someone announced in the hall.

"Just be comfy and cute. Like we're all hanging out." I said.

"People are stressed." Blair said, looking up from the book she was reading.

"I know." I shook my head.

"What are you wearing?" She asked.

"Capris, a tank top, a cardigan. Nothing fancy." I said with a shrug.

"Its crazy. This is our first time hanging out with Niall." She said, shaking her head.

And if we don't stay calm it will be our last time, I thought.

Once the sun set, the camera crews began setting up in the backyard around a big fire pit with logs and chairs.

"I'm gonna go downstairs." I said to Blair, who was touching up her hair.
