Just part of the band

I sigh and take out my phone, Niall and Zayn’s faces full of happiness. It’s complete silence around us three, as I tap the dials of my mom’s number. I put the phone next to my ear and I wait around 30 seconds before I hear a “Hello?” from the other end.
I smile, Zayn’s eyes light up as I begin speaking, “Hey mom.”
I hear some complaining from Reagan in the background that she wants something covered in chocolate, wile my dad is telling her that it’s not healthy. “Hiya honey, how’s the mall so far?”
“Great, but I have a question.” I say and watch as the other three of the band begin walking over to us, I can tell that they’ve been shopping, the one next to Harry, Louis I think, is carrying two bags, while the one wearing the most colourful sweatshirt, Liam, is carrying a mag also.
“Sure, hit me with it.” She asks and Zayn turns to Liam, seeming surprised by his sweatshirt, confronting him with a, “What. Is. That?”
 Liam smiles, “Danielle got it for me last week, I like it.” His sunglasses are a normal pair, unlike Louis’, whose are a yellow-sunburn and huge on him.
Zayn turns to Niall, “What do you have to say about...” he points to the puppy on it. “Him!”
Liam chuckles and I turn back to my mom on the phone, answering her question. “Oh, could I go with some boys to a radio station?”
Her answer was quick, as though the word ‘boys’ was a warning signal or something. “Who are they and are they there with you?”
I laugh a little and respond, “They’re some guys I know, I met them three days ago, and yes, they are here with me now.”
One Direction’s attention is turned to me after I emphasized the word ‘are’. My mom replies within seconds, “But them on speaker. Now.”
I smile and nod, “Sure, I’ll put them on speaker.” Zayn fixes his hair and Liam smiles, looking down at the little puppy in the down right corner of his sweatshirt. I tap the ‘Speaker’ button on my phone and say, “Your on speaker now mom.”
“Good, now, how many are there?” She asks, and they look at me with confused faces.
After a few seconds, they understand and say “Five.” as an almost unison response.
“Seriously Kylee? Who’d you meet, One Direction?” She jokes and it goes silent, she laughs and we go alone slowly, still unsure. “Boys, what radio station would you be taking my daughter to?”
“Well, it happens to be 103.4 The Hits, which is only a half-hour away.” Liam responds before anybody else can and they nod, I’m impressed, for a guy with a colourful tie-dye sweatshirt with a puppy on it, he can be serious.
Luckily, my mom’s impressed too, “Good, and when will you be leaving? If you happen to take her?”
Zayn replies next, “We would be leaving at 4:00 PM, picking her up at the house by 3:45.”
“Mhm...so...how’d you meet her?” My hand is getting tired of holding the phone in them middle of the six of us, and apparently Zayn notices, and he slides it into his, our hands touching for a few seconds. I can’t help but blush and carry on with the conversation.
“The last speaker met her on your plane to London, he got her number after the flight.” Niall says and I hear both of our stomachs growl, I’m hungrier than I think.
“Yes, so, before I say anything, please each say your name, ages, and occupations.”
“Niall, 18, um....I don’t have a job....” Niall says firstly and starts digging through one of Louis’ bags, Louis hits him in response as Liam starts saying his.
“Liam, 18 (before his b-day), singer.” Liam watches as Louis and Niall get into a little fake fight.
“Niall, look, food!” Louis says, pointing to a little kid and as Niall turns his head, he smacks it and Niall flashes back around in a weird, not true, anger.
“What was that for? Or, was that payback for getting Eleanor shampoo for Christmas?” Niall says and I giggle a little at him, Zayn has just finished his after Harry’s, so now it’s Louis’ turn.
Zayn nudges Louis, “Lou, it’s your turn!”
 Louis does that girl ‘snap’ motion and says, “Ok then,” he turns back to Niall, “You’ll get your payback....on the next Ustream.....or recording....”
He turns over to the phone, “I’m Lewis, age 20, and work as a comedian slash singer.”
“Hm...you guys seem nice....but you could be lying...that’s why I’m coming with you.” I gasp and Zayn’s eyes soften at me, Louis is pretending to be hiding behind Harry, who is on his phone, Niall tries to get around Harry for Louis, but Liam grabs him at the second to last second.
“Seriously guys, get over it, yeah, he didn’t get much for your girlfriend, but, look what you got her Lou, a car! And an iPad 2, the newest version of our album, and a puppy!” Liam says and I”m still surprised, I know my mom’s protective, but, coming with us, when we said almost every detail of how we know each other?
I sigh, “Ok then mom, would you like to know where I am?”
“No,” she replies and the boys all quickly settle their sunglasses and fix up their hoods. “I see you now.”
We all turn around and the call ends as I see my mother and father looking straight toward us, without, surprisingly, Reagan. Oh crap.
