Chapter Two
We sat waiting for our coffee to arrive, Mat and I sat opposite to each other and beside me is Anna.
We talk about their soccer game this coming third week of February, and Anna is so excited to watch, and the two boys are so eager to talk about that game while I sat here sitting laughing with them even thou I barely understand the game they're talking about.
"So Lydia and I are going to 1D's concert" said Anna as she put her arms around me. My eyes widen, I never know she would come with me, I was surprise and happy at the same time.
"Yeah" I said "and it's gonna be the best night."
"Even thou I don't really know the boys, but my best friend needs me"
"I need a friend to hold me there, in case I'll go crazy"
"That's great" said Mat smiling at me "so what time that will be?" he asked, wow his interested too.
"I think it will start seven in the evening." I shrugged I saw our coffee slash my chocolate arrives "I haven't know yet" I said.
"That must be your first time going in concert, isn't it?" Andrew asked.
"Yup" I said.
"That would be fun" said Mat.
"You guys want to come too" Said Anna as her sip on her coffee.
"I don't think we could" Said Mat and then he added "you know, coach is hoping we could win the game this time." He smiled again, that sweet smile that could melt me.
"We could watch their game, right, Lydia?" Anna asked, I'm not sure, I'm not really a big fun of football but that would be so rude to reject them.
"Sure" I said and then I can feel Mat smiling to himself as he is trying to hide them while he sips on his coffee.
Mat walks me to my house as he insists while it's getting darker on the street. I suddenly want Mat to stay a little longer to know him.
"I want to know you more Mat, so tell me what songs do you like?" I asked him and he is thinking.
"Hmmm" he hummed trying to think of anything. "I love almost everything" he said but he added "but I mostly listen to rock songs, alternative, punk rock and pop" he said "I like listening to fall out Boys and All Time Low"
"Oh, I like them too; I listen to bands and Panic! At the disco!" gladly we have something in common.
"Yeah, that's what I always listen" he said. We talk more until we get to my house. It's too early to say goodbye. I find Mat kind and nice, and those charming smile that made me smile and wanna ask him to do it again. We can be good friends.
"Well, see you tomorrow" I said.
"Can we hang-out again sometimes?" he asked, he looks me in the eyes, and I can see those bright brown eyes.
"I love too" I said, I can hide this smile in my face and I can't help blushing. I guess he can't see a better color of my face right now.
"Okay, tomorrow then?" he asked.
"Sure" I said. He waved goodbye at me and I waited on him to disappear before I went inside.
There's no car park in front the garage which means Kate wasn't still here. Today is Thursday, she use to have overtime every Thursday.
When I entered my brother is in hurry running downstairs and grabbing his shirt on the floor under the couch.
"What's happening with you?" I stare at him as he hurries on search out for the phone, not to point out he almost slipped down. "Whoa, calm down young man, you're in a rush", I throw my bag on the couch.
"I need food" he said as he dialed something on the phone. "I need to call Aunt Kate"
"No, she's on work, Justin, you can call pizza" I said as I turned the TV on.
"Okay, pizza then" then he dialed. It's not pizza or something that he is talking to, he orders one bucket of chicken, two extra large of Pepsi, one extra large of French fries. I heard him hang-up and sat beside me.
"In ten, they'll be here" he said and put his foot on the cable table. We watched some random shows; most of them are boring so he keeps on changing the channels.
There's a knock and I said to him to open the door, but he didn't he just rolled his eyes and watch some old movies on the TV, so I threw the pillow across to his face yet he didn't encourage it. So I'm the one who stood and walks towards the door.
A man with green polo shirt black cap, dark brown eyes, he might be five foot six ten, just like Harry but I think he is taller a bit inches than him. I find the delivery boy cute, but I didn't mind and pay him. He smiled as he accepts the money. I closed the door behind me and walk towards Justin.
He will never be the gentleman then I felt bad for the girl he is seeing now. I place the foods in front of us, and start eating. It was surprising he just let me eat and doesn't bother to nag that I didn't share any amount of money to buy. These days Justin begun to buy something he wants, I don't know where he get those things.
Five days to go, then this Wednesday, I can barely wait to go to their concert. I really wanted to cry out, jump because I am so damn keyed up about the concert I'll be seeing those awesome boys in the whole world. And my best friend is coming with me, she also likes those boys but she wasn't a big fan of them and fangirling is not her thing.
Mat claims to go with me at the mall to buy a tape of 1D which is I didn't bought the 'Midnight Memories' their latest album.
After we bought the album, we went to buy snacks for a while. We sat at the table outside some store, since it was such a good weather.
"I love the ice cream here" he said as he licks his ice cream cone.
"Maybe, I'll get rid of chocolates for a while and enjoy the taste of vanilla"
"You should, I always like vanilla."
"You love vanilla?" I jumped I remember my brother never talk to me for three because he requested a vanilla ice cream for him, but I bought a big galloon of chocolate ice cream.
"Yeah?" that was a question.
"My brother is obsessed with vanilla too"
"Your brother" he said as he look at me leaning closer to the table and arms crossed to his chest.
"Justin, he's quite annoying" I said the matter of fact.
He laughed a little "he was quite such a great guy, even thou he's just freshmen student"
Maybe they both played football before "sometimes, but I don't understand him."
"Why?" he asked pretty interesting to my little brother.
"He doesn't like spending with anyone" except what happened that night ago. He didn't talk to me eating is food together "his attitude change when he grew up without mom, and he doesn't even get to see out dad's face"
Mat was speechless after I share few details about Justin. When I was kid and Justin was still a baby, one mother after he was born mom and dad divorce because he want us to stay somewhere in the city and mom want us there.
We really had a good life back there in but dad wants us something better.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to…"
"No, it's okay; I'm the one who want to talk about it anyway."
Monday noon, we decided to watch a movie at the theater with Mat and I only. I had a good time with him, he was funny and you will never ever get bored being with him since he was so open up talking with me, he doesn't complain if I was too loud to talk about my idols, he never out of topics and there's a lot of things I like about Mat.
Mat is not one of the players not in a literally way, that I like the most, firstly he doesn't date any girls in school I saw him out with only one girl. Secondly he was always been a gentleman and third he is awesome and great guy that who plays football I'm not trying to say Andrew is not like Mat.
Of course Andrew was nice too, that's why Anna loves him so much and they're both madly in love to each other.
After the long day with Mat, I sat down with my computer and read about the boys' (I was referring to one direction, I just like it when I call them boys, pretending I was close theme) news and stopped scrolling when I read the article. One Direction is having a promo to get a chance to date them for one day. My inner me jumped around the room and shouted. I'll join! I signed up so quickly and do the quizzes about them, I know everything about them.
There's one girl who is one step ahead of me and I gonna be out of you.
I stretched and my eye went watery, I felt sleepy maybe I could do this tomorrow. I shut my laptop off; put it back to my desk and putt of my light. Crawling to my bed and put the covers over me, I stare at the notebook which is filled with one direction's faces without space.
"I'm gonna see you soon" I whisper and I close my eyes.
