Distorted (A Niall Horan Story)
Chapter 1
*Alice POV*
“Huff!” a girl with a dark wavy brown hair sighing while staring at the crowds from outside her window. Really, why most of everybody loves going to California? It’s not as wonderful as people think it is. For goodness sakes, there are even songs about ‘California’. I’ve been living in this city for almost eighteen years! I swear I had never said even for a second I love to live in this city. What’s so good about it, huh? I hate this city, very much.
Tired of looking at the crowds from her room, Alice grabs her iPhone and text someone. That’s when the time someone knock her door. Alice didn’t even look up to see whose coming. She’s still busy with her iPhone, “Miss, someone would like to speak with you,” said the maid. Alice nods, “I’ll be there in a minute.” Soon after that the maid left her.
Alice get off from her kind sized bed and walks down to the guest room, she knew who’s coming for a visit today. She saw a girl sitting down in the cushion with a cup of tea in her hand soon after she opened the guest room’s door. “Tarisa,” Alice called her name with a thin smile she’s faking. To be honest, she would like to not smile at her. Well, in the outside she’s quite a nice girl, but who knows why doesn’t Alice like her.
The girl who was called Tarisa put the cup of tea in the table to stand up. “Oh, Alice, it’s a pleasure to meet you again. How have you been?” Alice bit the tip of her lips before she answer, “I’m okay. So,” Alice trying to stop the welcome greetings and straight to her point, “do you have what I ordered?”
Tarisa once again smiles to her, “Of course!” she started to opened her purse and gives 2 tickets. Alice takes it with her right hand and frown, “I remember correctly I did tell you to buy me one ticket. Now why are there two tickets in my hand? Are you giving me a complements or something, Tarisa?”
“It’s a gift from me. It’s more enjoyable to travel to Dubai with your friends, isn’t it? Well, it is fine if you don’t want to have your friends with you, just take it anyway.”
Alice rolled her eyes and sighed. “You know I hate this, but okay for this once.” I take out a white envelope out of my pocket and give it to Tarisa, “I’ll call you when I need something else.”
Tarisa giggles, “Don’t hesitate to. See you later then, Alice. Oh, please send a hello from me to your parents.” Moments after that she left, Alice didn’t escort her out though, rather she went straight to her room and put the tickets to her desk. It has been her dream to do to Dubai, but her parents strictly forbid her to go. But, now since she’s eighteen, she has the right to go anywhere. Alice drops herself to the bed and put her phone to her ear. “Hey, Jenner, it’s me! You know about my plan to Dubai, right? Yeah, I decided to take you with me,” there a paused for a moment, then, “Tarisa gave it to me actually, so yeah. Do you want to go or not? Great! See you next week then. We’ll meet up at 8, okay? Bye!”
Alice exhaled and smiles to her phone. The one she was calling earlier is her best friend. Alice at first would like to take her to Dubai, but she’s afraid that it might offend her, but since Tarisa gave her the tickets, she can take her.
“God, oh— God, Thank You! Finally, I can relax, and I can get out from this stupid life!”
