Meant To Be

Chapter 3

I don't know what to do. I want to answer the phone, but I just can't move. Mary-Beth notices that I'm frozen and answers the phone. "Hello," I hear her say while she puts the phone on speaker.

"Hi..um. It's Niall. Is this Maria?"

"This is Mary-Beth. Maria's friend. Maria is kind of unable to speak right now, but I have you on speaker."

"Oh ok. Well, um, it appears that when Maria and Harry bumped into each other earlier today, they switched phones."

"Ya. She's still in shock from finding out," Mary-Beth says with a small laugh.

"Ya. Harry too. He's been frozen for about 16 minutes now. That's why I'm calling," Niall says with a laugh. "He wanted to see when they could trade phones back."

"Well, when is he free?"

"He's free tomorrow."

"Great. So is Maria. She can meet him where they met today at noon?"

"Ok. He'll be there."

"Great. She's looking foreword to it."

"So is Harry." Mary-Beth ends the call and places the phone on the counter.

"What just happened?" I ask Mary-Beth.

"You just got a date with Harry Styles. That's what happened," she says with a grin.

"How am I supposed to just meet him. I couldn't even speak to him in person or on the phone. You'll have to do it. You'll have to give him his phone back. I won't be able to do it. I'm too nervous. I might fall on my face while walking up to him. Or I might drop his phone while handing it to him and break it. Oh my gosh. What if I puke all over him. You know how embarrassing that'll be. I won't be able to show my face. I'll have to live underground and eat rats for a living. I'll never be able to get married or have children. I'll never be able to-" 

"Woah. Calm down. Stop pmsing. You're over exaggerating. Nerves are making me sick. You'll be fine."

"Why do you always think I'm pmsing? I'm just being realistic."

"Ya, because eating rats and living underground is realistic," she giggles.

"Well I can't help it. I just keep thinking the worst."

"Aww. You're crushing so hard."

"Oh leave me alone. I'll be in the living room watching stuff on YouTube if you need me."

"Watching stuff on YouTube huh? Are you going to search up videos of your boyfriend?" She laughs.

"Oh shut up." I roll my eyes at her.

"Ok. Ok."

I am sitting on the couch when I hear Mary-Beth scream.

I turn my head to look at her. "What. What is it?"

She lifts up Harry's phone. When she does, I see that there's someone on the line. I realize right away that Mary-Beth never ended the call. She just thought she did.

I look at her with wide eyes. "End the call! End the call! End the call!" I say panicked. She quickly ends the call for sure this time, and tosses the phone to the counter.

"I'm so sorry," she says while walking over to me. She sits on the couch with me and stares at her hands.

"It's...It's ok. It was an accident. I'm not mad." I half lie. I'm not mad. I'm more embarrassed. I can't believe Niall heard everything. What if he also had the phone on speaker and all the boys heard?

"I'm sorry once again."

"It's ok. Really. Let's just watch Twaimz." After two hours, we find ourselves watching lip singing fails. I'll never understand YouTube.

My eyes start to feel heavy and I know that's a sign that I need to get to sleep. "I'm off to bed. Goodnight Mary-Beth."

"Goodnight." I head to my room. Once my head hits the pillow, I instantly fall asleep.
