a band of cousins
we're going surfing
After the interview Julia thanked us. We thanked her for interviewing us and she left. The boys came over to us.
"Hello. I'm Harry," Harry said introducing himself even though he didn't have to. We all know about him because Sydney had a huge crush on him. She was blushing furiously which made her makeup look a lot darker.
"Hi. I'm Zayn." We knew Zayn because Mara was in love with him. She wasn't looking at him. She glanced at me and I nodded my head toward him. She blushed.
"Hello. I'm Louis." Ellie had a crush on him so we knew all about him. She was starring at him. Not in a really creepy way, kind of like admiration.
"Hi. I'm Liam." Taylor had a huge crush on him. She was looking at her feet. When he spoke her eyes drifted toward his face but then looked away again.
"Hey. I'm Niall." Anna had a small crush on him. Not like screaming when she sees him but just liking him the most. I liked him the most too but I do not have a crush on him. Abbi doesn't have a crush on any of One Direction like me.
"So you're the song writer," Harry said turning to me. I nodded.
"But it's kind of a combined effort." Everyone did try to help but mostly I just needed them to stay out of my way because they can be very annoying.
"Where do you normally write your songs?"
"In the ocean or on the beach behind our house."
"You have a beach behind your house?"
"Would you boys like to come over?" Nana asked as she came over. They all nodded eagerly.
"Do you have room in your cars? We kind of gave our bus driver the day off," Liam said sheepishly.
"Of course. Come on," Papa said. He led the way out to the cars. Harry, Sydney, Anna, Mara, and Zayn got in one car. Ellie, Louis, Taylor, Liam, and Abbi got in the second car. Brady, Jake, Niall, Nana, Papa, and I got in the last car.
"You texted Stacy right?"
"Yes," Jake sighed. "Brianna's coming too."
We drove home. They dropped me off at Isaac's house to get the boys. I walked inside without knocking. I haven't knocked on their door since I was four.
"Hi Megan. How was the interview?" Rachael was in the kitchen canning jelly.
"Great. How stupid did I look?" I know that they all saw it. Isaac told me he was going to have it on in every room to make sure everyone saw it.
"You looked very nice. That dress is beautiful and you smiled nicely the whole time. How was meeting One Direction?"
"They are very nice. Where are the boys? We are going surfing."
"They're upstairs." I walked upstairs and opened Isaac's door. He was laying on his bed in just his boxers. He was asleep with the TV on to Good Morning Hawaii.
"Hey," I said as I shook him. He woke with a start. He looked at me and smiled.
"Hey Meg, you look cute," he said.
"Thank you," I said. I sat down on the bed next to him.
"You looked good during the interview."
"Thanks. It was sooo scary," I sighed as I laid back on the bed.
"Well you looked...composed."
"Thanks. Now get dressed. We're going surfing. I'll go get the guys." I left and shut the door behind me. I walked across the hall to Quinn's room. I eased the door open.
"Hey Meggie," he said.
"We're going surfing."
"I'll be out in a bit," he said walking to his closet. I left and walked down the hall to the next door. I opened it and saw Eric on the floor.
"Hey what are you doing on the floor?" I saw the photo book that Anna bought him for his birthday two years ago. It's full of pictures of all of us, especially Anna.
"Oh nothing. Just looking at some memories." He stood up and put the book back on his shelf.
"Well let's go make some more memories. We're surfing." He nodded.
"What is this really about? Do you think Anna will ditch you for Niall? Yeah, right."
"He's rich and talented. I'm just...me." I walked to his closet and threw him a pair of his swim shorts.
"You is who she likes best. She is your best friend, she isn't going to leave you. Now hurry up before we are late." I left and shut the door.
I walked back downstairs, said goodbye to Rachel, and walked across the street to our house. I ran downstairs into my room. I locked the door and took off my dress. I threw on my blue and green striped bikini. I have had only one arm for almost ten years so I have figured out how to do a few things by myself. I grabbed my book. It's like a cross between a diary, a songbook, and my life. The only person I ever let touch it is Isaac. Even he doesn't know some of the things in here. I put it in its waterproof case and grabbed my above/underwater camera.
"Hello. I'm Harry," Harry said introducing himself even though he didn't have to. We all know about him because Sydney had a huge crush on him. She was blushing furiously which made her makeup look a lot darker.
