Taste of Summer
One Direction: A life of being a fanWhen I woke up, my mom went inside my room.
"You should start packing your clothes. We'll be going to New Jersey this Monday" she said as she looked at me
"Today is Saturday, right?" I rubbed my eyes
"Yes"
"Why so early?" I asked her
She saw the rose inside my room and take a look at it
"Who gave you this?"
I looked at her. The rose was on her hands. OMG! I'm dead!
"It's from my friend"
"Who is that friend?"
"Mom...."
"Who friend? Is that a guy?"
"What if I told you it's from a guy?"
"Then, are you two dating?"
"Mom.... we're just friends"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
She placed back the rose inside the vase "It's not that I'm not allowing you to engage into boys. I know you graduated from
an all girl school. All I just want to tell you that, you should always put studies first as your priority. I know there are a lot of
handsome boys out here. Don't worry, when you'll graduate you can have boyfriends as many as you want"
I laughed shyly
"It's true!"
"Thanks, mom" I smiled at her
She gave me a smile "Breakfast is ready"
I nodded and she went outside the room. I went outside the room and ate breakfast. After I ate breakfast, I took a shower. I
changed clothes and after I changed clothes, Charlotte called me.
"Charlotte"
"Can we meet at the mall right now?"
"Right now?"
"Yes, please?"
"Okay" then, we hang up
I asked for permission and I went to the mall. I saw Charlotte waiting for me inside the boutique. I poked her
"Hey"
"Jessy!"
"So, what are we going to do here?" I asked her
"You didn't tell me" she gave me a smirk
"What?" I asked her curiously
She grabbed my hands and we went to a coffee shop. After we ordered some coffee and cookies, she started talking
"Tell me what happened yesterday night" she smiled at me
"Yesterday night?"
"Stop acting like you don't know, Jessy. Nichkhun told me that he confessed to you yesterday night!"
"Ohhh... that one. Yeah, he confessed to me"
"I told you! He really likes you. The truth is, I saw him once putting the heart paper inside your locker. He was shaking when I
found him out that he's your secret admirer and we made a deal that I'm going to keep my mouth shut. He told me that he's
going to confess to you on the night of our last day of school and... he really did!"
"I was even wondering why he called me late at night. He was waiting for me outisde the apartment. Then, he told me that
he likes me. He gave me a rose and kissed my forehead"
Charlotte's eyes went huge "Really?!"
I nodded "I didn't expect that to happen"
"Well, expect the unexpected. I even didn't expect that he's your secret admirer" Charlotte took a bite on the cookie
"When are you going to back to Doncaster?" I asked her
"Next week. My brother's going back to Doncaster before he'll do their US tour"
I nodded
"You, when are you going to New Jersey?"
"This Monday"
"I think they are also going to do their tour in New Jersey"
"Really!?"
"I'm not sure. I mean, I really don't know"
I pouted
After we had a talk at the coffee shop. We went home. When I arrived at the apartment my mom told me again to pack
now my clothes. I went inside the room and started packing up my clothes. After I packed my clothes, I was tired so
I decided to take a nap. When I woke up, it was already morning. That nap turned into a long sleep. My mom and Henry
put their luggages at the living room. I also put my luggages at the living room. I ate my breakfast and after I ate my
breakfast, we went outside with our luggages. Getting ready to go to the airport. I was wearing a jacket and a tank top
inside the jacket. I wore a glasses and ready to go. We rode in a taxi cab and we arrived at the airport. We waited for our
flight and when our flight was announced, we got our luggages and went inside the airplane. When we arrived at the
airport in New Jersey, we took a taxi cab in going to the place where the sister of my mom lives. When we arrived at their
house, they welcomed us with their warm hearts. We placed our luggages inside the room and went downstairs to eat
our dinner.
"How's school, Jessy?" Aunt Eden which is the sister of my mom asked
"It's okay"
"Do you have friends there?" Marielle which is the daughter of my Aunt Eden asked. She is two years older than me
I nodded
"How's your work there, Henry?" Uncle Rey which is the husband of Aunt Eden asked
"There are a lot of patients everyday"
"I hope you'll find New Jersey fine" Matthew which is the younger brother of Marielle asked. He is one year younger than me
I gave him a smile
After we ate our dinner, I went inside the guest room. There are only two beds. So, my Aunt decided that Marielle and I are
going to share rooms. Inside Marielle's room has two beds. I went inside the room and started to unpack my clothes. My
grandma saw me unpacking my clothes and started helping me to unpack it
"No, grandma. It's okay. I can do this"
She sat on the bed "Your grown up now"
I looked at her and smiled
"I can still remember you when you're still a kid, you always shout my name when you're crying"
I sat beside her "I'm still your little granddaughter and that will never change"
I gave him a warm hug
I decided to take a walk in the streets of New Jersey on the next day. I was walking all by myself. I saw a lot of boutiques.
There were a lot of nice clothes inside there. I wish I can buy all of them in just one snap of my finger. While I was looking at one
beautiful dress in a boutique, a guy who was running fast, grabbed my hand. We were running and I don't know where are
we going to go
"Hey!" I called his attention but he didn't look at me
I tried to get my hands away from him but I can't. He's too strong. I looked behind us and I saw a lot of girls following us. I've
been wondering why are girls following us. We went inside a corner and I saw his face. I was completely shock! I was catching for
some breath. Is this really him? Is this Zayn Malik? I heard that the girls who were following us are coming. He put his hood on
his head and he placed his hands on my shoulders. He pushed me on the wall
"Don't ever scream.... my name" he looked at me straightly into my eyes
When the girls already went away. He stepped back
"Are you really..."
"Shhh" he said as he got his phone
"You know I'm really a big fan of you! I'm a Directioner! I watched all the videos when you were still auditioning for the X Factor...."
"I know, so stop talking now" he looked at me
He was busy texting
I crossed my arms "Why are you like this to me? I'm a Directioner! I thought you're good to your fans or are you just pretending to
be good. And in the first place, why did you grab my hand?" I looked at him
"I don't have time to answer that questions" he looked at me and went back texting
"In just a minute or second, I'm really going to scream out your name" I raised one of my eyebrows
"Let's see if you can scream my name"
"Oh.. you think I can't, huh? Mr. Zayn Malik?"
He crossed his arms and looked at me
I cleared my throat "Zaaa....."
Zayn covered my mouth with his bare hands
"Try screaming my name"
I got his hands away from my mouth. He walked a few miles away from me
"I changed my mind! I don't like you Zayn Malik! I really hate you! I hate you!" I exclaimed
I saw that he's going to go inside a car. He looked at me and smiled then he went inside the car
"Aiiiisssshhhhhhh" I crossed my arms
Watch out if I'm going to see you again, Zayn Malik. I'm really going to screw you! You are really the Bradford Bad Boy!
I pouted and went back to the house. I went inside the room angrily. I sat on the bed and crossed my arms
"What's wrong with you?" Marielle asked while she was using her laptop
I looked at her angrily and I saw her watching One Direction's videos
"Are you a Directioner?" I asked her
She nodded
"You shouldn't be"
"Why?" she asked curiously
"I just met Zayn Malik a while ago..."
"Seriously? Where?" she sat beside me
"In the streets. A lot of gilrs were following him. While I was watching outisde the boutique shop, he grabbed my hand. We
hid in a corner. When the girls already went away. I told him that I really like him and I'm a Directioner. You know what he
told me?"
"What?"
"He told me to stop talking. Isn't he too mean?"
"Really? He told you that?" Marielle's eyes went huge
"Of course! Before he went away I told him that I hate him. I really do! He just smiled at me"
"Isn't that nice?"
"You call it nice?! I don't know with you. If I were you, you should stop idoling them. They're just pretending to be good"
"Are you telling that because Zayn did that to you? It doesn't mean that Zayn did that to you, you're going to hate all of them"
"I know but you know, Zayn is my ultimate crush! Seeing him was my biggest dream! But what he did to me a while ago,
I never expected that to happen. Starting today, I'm no longer a Directioner" I stood up and looked for my books which are One
Direction's books. I found them and looked at them. Marielle stood up
"What are you going to do with those books?" she asked
"Burn them"
She hurriedly got the books from my hands
"What are you doing?" I asked her
"I should be the one to ask that. Why are you going to burn them? Burning these books are like burning the money you
paid for these! A lot of Directioners can't afford these books and you, you'll just burn them? Stop thinking about what happened
a while ago and go on with your life"
"How can I forget if that was one of my unforgettable moments?"
"Just do anything but don't you ever burn these books! These are pretty expensive!"
"Okay! I'm not going to burn them"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
She handed me back the books and I placed them back where it belong. I just can't forget what happened a while ago.
