Chapter 3

I got off an headed for the mail room. I reached into my pocket for my card to scan so I could enter. 'Shit' I felt on both front pockets. It wasn't there. I started to panic. I felt into my back pockets. 'Crap crap crap' I couldn't find it anywhere. I looked on the flor to see if I had dropped it but it wasn;t there. Henry was no where in sight either. It was so typical of me to lose things. I slapped myself in the face then I heard someone laughing from behind.

I turned around rather angry that someone was taking joy is my misery. 'Sorry' that voice said. I could recognise that voice anywhere and I could have swore that I was hallucinating. Was it really? I turned around slowly. 'Your card' he took it out from his pocket and passed it to me. 'Thanks! You're a life saver'. I guess I had lost it in the room when I was sitting on the floor. 'Welcomed' he said as he smiled at me. 'I best get going, see you' I said as I turned around. 'See you Val' I heard him walking away.

I got in and I leaned againt the closed door. I couldn't believe that he remembered my name. I felt the tinglish feeling again. I wheeled out the cart to do my second round. I went around the third floor and I was finished. I tapped my card and that was when it hit me. My picture. My hideous picture. I meantally stabbed myself. I wondered what he thought when he looked at my card. I could just imagine him and the rest of the boys laughing at my stupid picture. I wanted to die.

I finished with the area cleaning and I took my things and left. On the bus ride home, I couldn't help but think about him. Perhaps I was crazy. He could have any girl in the world. The chances of him falling for me wasn't even a question.

As soon as I got home, my rushed up to my room and turned on my computer. I grabbed my laptop and sat on my bed. I opened up google and typed in 'One direction'. That night, I learned all about them. Well, all there is to learn on the internet at least.

I found myself googling their pictures and staring at them. I thought I was mad and everything was just some freak dream. Did I really just meet some international celebrities? I checked what time it was in Australia. '4.12am'. Ugh. I left all of them a text telling them to call me once they're awake.

I went to bad that night and I could stop thinking about them. It felt so surreal...

I felt my phone vibrate from under my pillow. I felt around and I finally found it. I squinted at the sight of my phone screen. The lights were so blinding. I answered it.

'Hello?'

'Val! What's up?'

'What?'

'What?'

'Yasmine, it's 1am!'

'Right. I knew that. I'll call later then'

'Nevermind I'm already up. Have you ever heard of One direction?'

'Who hasn't'

'Well dont freak but I met them'

I heard the phone drop and there was nothing but silence on the other end.

'Hello? Yasmine?'

'Don't lie to me'. I could almost picture her narrowing her eyes as she said it.

'I'm not'

Our conversation went on and she mostly freaked out. I couldn't believ that I had never even heard of them. Was I possibly living in under a rock? In the end, I made a promise to her that if I saw them again, I'd get them to do one of those video things where they say hi to her.
