Chapter 8: Awkward.

Angelina was on her phone, trying her best to increase her high score in flappy bird, it was an 87.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door. She gazed at the door, waiting for the person to open the door.

Is it Niall?

Stop thinking about him.

She argued with herself.

The door opened and there was Harry, awkwardly standing. Behind him, were Louis and Zayn, also not knowing what to do.

"Hey guys. Come in." Angelina said, trying her best to sound enthusiastic.

Why is it not Niall?

"Since you came here, none of us had met you. So we thought we should come by." Harry said.
"That's cool." Angelina said and smiled.

"So it's almost 6:00 pm, you want to come see our practice?" Louis asked.

Her eyes widened at the word practice.
She had always wanted to watch them behind the scenes.

She jumped up from her bed."I'd love to!" She said.

Louis chuckled. "We thought so. Come on then!" He said and all of them walked out one by one.

"The practice is in the basement. I bet you didn't know." Zayn said, before leaving.

Angelina chuckled, a little red on her cheeks.
"Yeah, thanks for that."

"Are you ready? Because I can walk you." Zayn offered.

"I'll come in another 2 minutes. Thanks." She said and entered the bathroom.
"As you wish." Zayn shrugged and closed the door after him.

Angelina fixed her hair and looked into the mirror.

Presentable.

Sonny would say.
She exited the restroom and opened the door to reach the basement.

Another door opened and Niall appeared.
Next, she didn't know what happened but she felt random butterflies in her stomach. She usually did, when she was with Niall. But these butterflies, they were a bit too excited.

They made eye contact and Niall abruptly looked away.

She'll talk when she wants to.

This was the line he was repeating in his head the rest of the afternoon.

He quietly walked past her and down the stairs for a practice.

Angelina followed without a word.

Wow, this was too awkward.

"You're finally here then." Liam said, as Niall entered the basement, followed by Angelina.

"Yeah. Let's do this." Niall said and went towards the rest of the group.

Cheryl patted on the chair next to her, motioning Angelina to come and sit.

Angelina nodded her head and walked towards the seat. As soon as she sat, she spared a glance at the huge basement. It was converted into a pure music room. And it looked marvellous. Guitars, mics, drums, keyboards, you name it and it's there.
