"Taya!" he exclaimed so the whole supermarket could hear

                 I shooshed him

                 "Hi." I whispered

                 "What are you doing here?" he asked

                 "You know, trying to feed pigeons bread crumbs. Why else would I come to Tesco?" I say sarcastically

                He laughed

                 "Oh, by the way, you still owe me an apology. I had to deal with death threats from teenage girls. Believe me when I say it was bad." I say

                 How was I doing this? How was I talking to him so casually? My body is at it again, having a confusing mind of it's own.

                 "I thought you didn't care about the hate." he said, tilting his head to the side

                 "I don't anymore, but I still want an apology." I say

                 "Alright, I'm sorry. I shouldn't of gone and said those things to the media. Will VIP concert tickets make up for it?" he asks, hopeful that I will take the tickets

                 But VIP concert tickets weren't the main thing occupying my mind. From the corner of my eye, I spotted a man who was taking a professional camera out of his bag.

                "Speaking of the media, RUN!!" I say grabbing his arm and sprinting for the dairy section. 

                 We hid behind a pile of boxes that contained milk.

                 "Wait. Why are we hiding?He was just goi-"

                 "Oh for gods sake Niall!" 

                 "Ohh" he finally realised that if the media caught us together rumors would spread that we're dating

                 I could just see through the gaps of the boxes that the man with the camera was coming towards us. I tugged Niall along as I sprinted to the next hiding spot. An employee was entering the store room in the back, but they left the door slightly open. It was the closest place so I went in the and shut the door once Niall made it in. 

                 "Excuse me. Um you two, yeah, you're not allowed in here." the employee said

                She was a girl with black hair with a few strands of red. She had a few tattoos and a nose ring. Niall spoke up.

                 "Oh, can we pretty please hide in here for a minute? It's celebrity issues. There's a guy with a camera that is trying to take a photo of us together, but we're only trying to talk as friends and if he gets a photo of us together everyone would assume we're dating, and poor Taya over here will get death threats." he explained

                "Oh, you're Niall Horan!" The girl said "Sure, stay as long as you want!"

                 I sighed in relief. We stood over by a pile of boxes. My phone vibrated. It was a text from Sian.

                 Sian: Taya! Where are you? I leave you for one second while I go and get some bananas and you go missing!

                 I text her back.

                 Taya: I'm in the store room at the back. I'll explain it to you when I get out.
