A dude needs food – Harry

We wander around for about ten minutes, looking for something local and exotic, but then Niall gets impatient and we decide to go to Mc Donald's. I mean, we would have eight more weeks to check out the local food so we might as well do Niall a favor and just eat now.

After all of us order and get our food, we sit down at a table in the back of the room and start digging in.

„I haven't eaten in forever!", Niall says as he bites into his cheeseburger.

Zayn raises an eyebrow at him. „You said you and Harry ate on the way to the apartment. Which was like… three hours ago, maybe?"

„I'm just… really hungry, okay?" Niall grins.

Louis leans forward and lays his head on his hand, as he picks up a carrot. „Mhmm… carrots…"

„Why would you possibly want to order carrots at a Mickey D's?" Liam asks.

„I love carrots!" Louis yells and throws his hand on the table. We all start laughing, Niall the most, and everybody around us looks at us like we're crazy.

After all of us stop laughing, it's quiet for a while and we all concentrate on our food. I'm not really hungry, since Niall and I had stopped at a Taco Bell after we left the airport and I ate eight tacos.

„So, how did y'all hear about this?" Liam asks after a while.

I realize I don't even know how to call this. Summer-Singing-Acting-Forensics-Program? Well, since it's organized by the Cowell Institute of the Arts, I guess you could call it The Cowell Summer Program. Or something like that.

„They announced it at my school", Louis answers. „And you know, I've always liked singing and acting so I thought I might as well give it a try."

„I heard about it online", I say. „But I agree with Louis, I just tried out, thinking it wouldn't hurt."

Actually, that is only half the truth. My plan was to go to Law School – but a couple of months ago I realized that that isn't what I want to do with my life. As cheesy as it sounds, I want to work in the music industry. I've always loved singing, and I've never had problems with acting or public speaking, so the CSP (I guess that's the best way to call it), seemed to be the perfect opportunity to gain some experience. And also to prove to myself and everybody else that I could actually make it.

I don't know how many people tried out for the program, but there must have been quite a few, considering it's free, in Hawaii and just a great opportunity. I also heard that the Cowell Institute is a really nice school. So actually getting a part in this is quite a big deal, considering there are only ten spots.

That's when something pops into my mind; the girls. There are five guys and five girls participating in this. When were we going to meet them? The first lesson isn't until two days from now.

„Do you know anything about the girls?", I ask.

The guys look at me in surprise, like they just now remembered that there were girls involved. Well, I completely forgot, too.

„N… no", Liam says. Zayn and Niall shrug their shoulders and Louis frowns.

In the information letter that I got a couple of weeks ago, it said that there are chaperones and workers from the Cowell Institute here, working at the school our lessons are going to be, and that they would check in on us every few days. But we don't really have any rules. Of course no drinking, smoking, taking drugs and all that usual stuff. But we don't have a curfew, or any other restrictions on what to do outside of the lessons.

„I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be secretly televised and turned into a reality TV show", Louis says, still frowning, which makes Niall laugh.

„I guess we'll meet the girls on Monday, then", I say.

I guess you could say I'm a little bit disappointed. I like girls… the company of them, looking at them, talking to them… There's a reason I was voted Class Flirt the last two years. But, see, the thing with me and girls is that I like a lot of them. I've had several girlfriends, and I cared about all of them. Have I ever actually loved one of them though? No. I never cared enough for them to make things last more than three months.

Do I want to find a girl to love? Yes. Do I enjoy looking for a girl to love but being unsuccesful with it? Yeah… I still get to be with girls a lot, so…

That makes me wonder if the other guys have girlfriends.

„I want dessert", Niall announces and gets up. Liam and Zayn follow him to order something as well, but I don't feel like eating anything more and Louis is still chewing on his carrots.

„So, Harry", Louis says and leans towards me. „You got a girl at home?"

I shake my head. Good to know I'm not the only one who wonders about the lovelife of the other guys. „Nah, nothing serious in a while. I broke up with my last girlfriend two months ago. What about you?"

Louis sighs. „Things are… complicated."

I lift my eyebrows. „Is that a yes or a no?"

„It's a no. You know… Hana and I are kind of an on and off thing. She's there when I need here, I'm there when she needs me, but that's it."

„That sounds like fun", I say, not really sure if I'm sarcastic or not.

„I guess… I don't really like her, though."

„Do you think the girls will be hot?" I wonder. Well, aren't we such dudes.

Louis grins. „Who cares? Even if not, we're at Waikiki Beach, there's nice girls everywhere you turn."

„Very true."

Even though the main reason I came here was to make a point about my future life, I guess finding a girl would be a really nice thing to do, too. And even though it's not Paris, the city of love… Hawaii seems really decent to me.

END OF CHAPTER 2

I know it took me forever to write the second chapter but here it is.

Again, I have huge trouble with the times. Also I'm pretty sure I'm messing up with the punctuation on the dialogues.. but oh well.

Everybody enjoy!
