A/N Hey everyone. Sorry this chapter was late, again. I've just been really stressed with relationship issues lately. It's become really complicated.

Anyway, here's chapter 20. Hope you enjoy!

Simone’s POV

Later on that day, I had moved to my bed, and we all ended up crashing there for the night. After listening to the radio interview and debating who the possibilities for Josh having a crush on were, we had gotten tired. But, nobody had wanted to leave, so we all crashed on the floor or on the bed and beanbag chairs to sleep until the morning.

Thinking on it, Louis could have meant that Josh was going to kill him for saying that he liked one of us, when he didn’t. But that thought didn’t occur to me until I woke up. When I had woken up, I had found that I had rolled off my bed onto the floor. I groaned, rubbing my head. “Ugh. Definitely not a graceful way to wake up,” I mumbled, getting up off the floor.

Looking around, I noticed the rest of the girls were missing. I was confused for half a second. Then, I thought about it again, and guessed that they had just gone downstairs or had gone home after they woke up.

I changed into my outfit for the day: a bright pink t-shirt and jean shorts. After brushing out my hair, I walked downstairs, where I found the girls sitting at the kitchen table. Tom, our adorable little schnauzer-poodle mix, was scampering around the tile floor. The girls giggled as he slipped on a rough rug in front of our back door and fell.

Lucy picked him up and said, “Oh, Tom, its okay puppy…” smiling as she kissed his little wet nose.

I smiled when I saw this. I listened to the background noise of the room and found myself listening to a playlist I recognized as one off of Lucy’s iPod. The music switched from Deer in the Headlights by Owl City to Magic by none other than One Direction.

'Cause you, you've got this spell on me,

I don't know what to believe.

Kiss you once now I can't leave,

'Cause everything you do is magic.

But everything you do is magic.

Hearing it play, I smiled and walked farther into the room. It really didn’t surprise me that it was playing, considering that it was one of her favorite songs. As soon as I walked in, I was hit with a sweet scent, probably breakfast. “Good morning, girls,” I greeted.

“Morning, Si,” Lucy answered. “How did you sleep?”

“I slept fine,” I answered with a shrug. Motioning to the bright blue iPod in the dock, I asked, “Your iPod, I’m guessing, Lu?”

“Yeah, how did you know?” Lucy asked, causing us all to laugh.

“Because I heard both of those artists playing on the same playlist, goof,” I said with an eye roll. “Anyway, what’s for breakfast?”

“Cinnamon rolls!” Courtney cheered. Now that sweet smell made sense.

“Great! I call the middle one!” I responded.

“I already called it,” Ana said.

“It’s my house, Ana-banana. I outrank you,” I retorted, trying my hardest to keep a straight face. Within two seconds, I failed and burst out laughing, a huge smile on my face. “I’m sorry, I had to do that,” I said in between laughs.

“Anyway, what should we do today?” Kelly asked, changing the subject with a smile.

“How about we go to the MOA? We haven’t been there this summer yet. Plus, I want to ride one of the rollercoasters there!” Lizzie exclaimed, pumping her fist in the air.

“That sounds fun! I can bring the video camera! I can’t believe I didn’t tape any of this summer so far!” I exclaimed, feeling guilty about the last part.

“Neither can I. But call the boys. We can meet them there,” Kelly suggested.

“Sounds perfect. I’ll give Harry a call, and we can be out of here in an hour,” Ana said with a grin, obviously excited. She probably wanted to go shopping for a little bit, which didn’t surprise me. We always would have a small shopping spree while we were there.

“Yeah, but let’s eat first!” Courtney exclaimed as my mom put the plate of cinnamon rolls down on the table. We all obliged, and started in on the plate.

“Where are they?” Lizzie asked impatiently, tapping her foot against the concrete floor of the main level. We stood by the large Peeps and Company store, waiting for the boys to show up. We watched as some little kids hurried around with their moms and dads in tow, on their way to their favorite rides. The squeals and screams of kids and parents alike filled the air of Nickelodeon Universe, the amusement park inside of the mall.

"I don’t know. Maybe they got stopped on accident because they were recognized,” Lucy said.

“They’re not dumb. They would have good disguises,” Ana reasoned. Then, her phone beeped. She pulled it out, and saw she had a text. I peered over her shoulder to read it.

It said it was from Harry. We’re at the LEGO Store. Where are you?

Ana quickly typed a response to Harry’s text: The Peeps store, on the West side. “They’re on their way, I think. They’re at the LEGO Store,” she told us, repeating what Harry had sent her.

“Alright then, that’s good.” Courtney smiled. “We should take them to that 1D pop up store,” she laughed.

“Oh, we should, if their disguises are good enough,” Lizzie laughed.

“Yeah. I wonder what they will think when we make them pose with those larger than life pictures of them on the walls!” I added, smiling.

“Can we make plans when they’re actually here?” Lucy suggested.

Then, that was when six guys walked over to us and stopped next to us. “Make plans for what?” One of them asked. The voice seemed somewhat familiar, but yet it didn’t. It seemed almost disguised.

“Just for how we’re going to spend the day with some friends, that’s all,” Kelly answered. “Now, if you’ve seen five guys walking around together between here and the LEGO Store, could you point us in their direction? That’s who our friends are.”

“Kelly, it’s us,” another one whispered, also having a familiar voice.

I turned my head slightly, and looked at them again. I saw five familiar pairs of eyes peering out at us from underneath the hoodies and immediately recognized them. “Guys?” I asked.

“Hey, Simone,” Niall said with a smile. I realized that the first person who had spoken was Louis, and the second one had been Zayn. They had done pretty well for disguises!

I then looked back behind them, and was face to face with Josh Devine, the boys’ drummer. “Oh, hi,” I greeted.

“Hey,” the rest of the girls chimed in, greeting him.

“Hi everyone,” Josh said, a smile on his lips. He hadn’t had much of a disguise, since he wasn’t as well known. I even saw a picture on Facebook of him and Niall, and they listed him as Niall with a fan.

Two words, people: That’s sad.

Liam took initiative and introduced us all. “Josh, this is Ana, Lucy, Courtney, Kelly, Lizzie, and Simone,” he said, pointing to each of us in turn.

“It’s nice to meet you all,” Josh said with another smile.

“So, what were you girls planning when we came over?” Harry asked.

“Nothing really; we just thought it would be funny if we got you into your popup store here,” Courtney laughed again. The rest of the girls and I also giggled, smiling, while the boys rolled their eyes, smiling. “Hey, it would be pretty safe, considering we didn’t recognize you until we got a good look at you.”

“True…” Louis said; a grin on his face. “Oh, why not?” He finally finished. “Where is it?”

“The other side of the mall,” Ana said, pointing towards the East side, where we could see the top of American Girl Place just peeking out from between the rides. “See that red store sticking out? It’s right next to that.”

“Then let’s go,” Zayn said, smiling. The twelve of us nodded, smiling as we started off towards the store.

We passed by the Pepsi Orange Streak, one of our personal favorites. I smiled. “I really want to ride that later,” I said to anyone in the group who would listen, pointing to it.

“Hey, that looks fun. Mind if I join you on it?” Josh asked.

“Sure, Josh.” I smiled. Then, looking at the girls, I added, “Actually, you know what? You guys go on ahead, we’ll just go get ride tickets and ride this one.”

“Are you sure, Si?” Lucy asked me. The whole group stopped and stared at me.

“I’m positive. Besides, I’m old enough to take care of myself,” I reasoned.

“Well, I guess we can’t exactly stop you, can we?” Lucy said after she let out a sigh.

“Nope,” I grinned.

“Well, then keep your phone on, just in case we need to contact you,” Ana chided.

“Okay, okay. I will,” I responded, feeling like the baby of the group, just like when we were younger. “Bye, guys.”

The rest of the group waved goodbye to us before walking towards the store again. Within a few seconds the ten of them were lost in the crowd again, leaving me and Josh alone.

Josh turned to me. “So, ride tickets?” He said.

I nodded. “Yup, follow me; I know where to get them.” I led him over to a kiosk and bought a Comet Package ticket, worth 35 points. Josh bought himself one as well. “Now, to the ride!” I exclaimed, guiding him back to the rollercoaster.

We both got in line and waited for our turn. As we waited, I looked at Josh. “So, I heard Lou on the radio yesterday,” I whispered. “He said you had a crush on one of us.”

Josh bit his lip. “Oh, he was just trying to embarrass me on there,” he admitted.

“Oh, that makes sense. That’s what I thought,” I said.

Josh nodded, smiling at me. “Yeah,” he said. His smile was really nice and genuine. I liked seeing him smile.

No. I can’t do this. I can’t have a crush on Josh, and a crush on Kyle!

Josh took me out of that thought as we reached the front of the line. We were able to have the front of the rollercoaster car, to my delight.

The two of us got into the car, myself first and him second. We pulled the lap bar down and smiled at each other. “Ready?” I asked.

“Yeah, I’m ready!” Josh answered, smiling as the car moved forward up the hill. We held on tightly to the lap bar and smiled widely as we reached the top.

The car sped down the tracks, and we each let out a yell, raising our hands in the air. We passed by a camera that took our picture, and I know that since we were yelling, we would look crazy. But I kind of wanted to take that picture home. I wanted to remember this ride.

----------

When the car pulled back up at the loading dock, I smiled at Josh as I got out. “What did you think?” I asked.

“That was really fun,” he answered, smiling as we descended the stairs down to get our picture. “Do you want the picture? I’ll pay,” he asked.

“Are you sure you want to? I can take it,” I said, making it obvious I wanted to bring the picture home.

“Yeah, I’m sure,” Josh said with a smile, going and getting in line. I waited for him, leaning against a wall with a smile.

Josh Devine definitely was a guy I could find myself having a crush on. If only I was older, or he was younger. Then, maybe things could work out.
