We're Just Like Them... But Girls (A One Direction Fan-Fiction)

Chapter Sixteen

Leah's P.O.V.

I've been running around my street with the other eight chasing after me, and the paparazzi have been shooting questions at me. A majority of them were along the line of:

Why are you half dressed?

Why are the others chasing you?

Is there anything special going on between you and Harry?

Where did you get your bra?

Are those your basketball shorts?

Is it true that you're anorexic?

I stopped running when I heard the last question; I just smiled, waved, and kindly stuck up my middle finger while mouthing, "Fuck off."

The cameras stopped flashing, it seemed like everything and everyone froze for a second. I could see the headlines now: "Leah Smith Denies Anorexia"

Pssh, please, I wonder what my life would be like if I stayed in Colombia. Yeah, I'm sort of Colombian; I lived down there for most of my childhood with my grandparents. I picked up a little bit of an accent. Don't ask me how my last name is something common like Smith, I really don't know why.

Once the cameras started flashing and I was being chased again, I ran back into the house. I'm not in the mood to be running around my street half dressed with the paparazzi right next to me.

"Oh hey, look who's back!" Liam said while talking to Penny. "Mommy Leah is here!"

"Really? Puppy-talk? Sounds about right when you're known as the puppy of the band."

"Shut up and help me teach Penny how to swim," he said, "I want her to be in the pool with us so we can watch her."

"You're going to teach a dog how to swim? Yeah I don't think that's a good idea. Hey, where are the other eight? They were trying to tickle me, but now I can't find them."

"They got breakfast; at least that's what Niall told me. Wanna go out on our own and get something?"

"Yeah, just let me get changed."

I ran to my flat and threw my clothes out of my closet. I honestly have no idea what to wear.

After deciding on an old college t-shirt, jean shorts, converses, and my hair up in a bun, I'm pretty sure I was ready.

"I put Penny in her cage already. The others are at iHop. It's around noon right now. Want to go to the mall?" Liam said while checking his hair in the mirror.

"Yeah, can we do some stuff while we're at the mall? I was thinking of something."

It was about a fifteen minute drive to the mall. Since today was a Sunday, there weren't a lot of people there yet; probably in Church or something. Everyone has to respect the Sunday traditions in some way.

"Liam! Can we go over to the tattoo and piercing place?" I asked him with my best puppy face.

"Why... Oh my god, you want a tattoo, don't you?"

"Maybe, and I want to get my third hole and cartilage pierced! Plus I need my second hole re-pierced; it closed up when I was younger."

"Okay, fine. I think the tattoo and piercing place is around here somewhere. Have you ever gotten a tattoo before?" Liam asked.

"Nope," I said while popping the 'P,' "but I really want one!"

We spent a few minutes walking around the mall trying to find the place. We ran into a couple of fans and took pictures. This really wasn't what I was hoping to do since I looked like my younger sister right now; she always wears baggy clothes.
