Part Five

Sophia’s POV

Once we got to our floor we got off and went to our room, I showed Mel to her bed and she began putting her things away. “We’re going to do the Quickfire Battle now, you coming?” I asked.

“No, I’m going to put my things away and have a shower, you go on, it’s fine,” Mel smiled.

“Okay,” I waved before walking into the boys room.

“Right, now we’re all here, who wants to play?” Harry asked as I walked through the door.

“I’ll be camera man!” Niall shouted.

“I vote Louis verses Sophia,” Harry shouted.

“That's fine with me,” I smiled.

How bad could it be?

*~*~*~*

“Hello and welcome to our latest edition of Quickfire Battles. I, Harry Styles, am your host today, and working the camera is Niall Horan, and our contestants today are… Louis Tomlinson verses Sophia Dowell,” Harry said in a very posh presenter’s voice.

“Whilst we are here, I would like to say, stop sending hate to Sophia because she’s done nothing wrong, she is definitely not a prostitute and she is our friend, so please leave her alone,” Liam said, addressing the camera.

“Aw, thanks Liam,” I smiled.

“Right, you have your questions,” Harry said referring to the questions card he had gave each of us, “So, let’s get started, Louis, you’re asking first, three… two… one… GO!” Harry grinned like a mad-man.

“Do you like Niall Horan more than a friend?” Louis smirked.

“What sort of question is that?” I frowned.

“WRONG ANSWER!” Harry shouted.

“Fine, maybe,” I said.

“WRONG ANSWER!” Harry shouted.

“Fine, yes!” I shouted, before asking my first question- which wasn’t actually on the card, “Do you like Beth more than a friend?”

Two can play at that game.

“THAT’S NOT ON THE CARD!” Harry shouted.

“WRONG ANSWER!” I smirked.

“Yes,” Louis muttered, before asking his next question, “What’s Niall’s best feature?”

“Eyes!” I answered instantly, “But this is an easy question!” I frowned, referring to Louis’ next question.

“STICK TO THE CARD!” Harry shouted.

“Fine, what is your favourite vegetable?” I glared at the card.

“CARROTS!” Louis screamed, “Would you go on a date with Niall?”

“Yes,” I said and then jumped at the sound of a bell, signalling the end of the game. I totally forgot that everyone was watching and Niall was filming the WHOLE thing. Damn me and my competitiveness.

“That was interesting,” Louis smirked and I blushed.

“So do we have a winner?” Harry asked.

“We believe for their honesty, the winner is… SOPHIA!” Zayn said.

“Suck on that Tomlinson!” I shouted, jumping up and down and smiling.

“Oh, last name basis, that hurt Dowell,” Louis held his ‘heart’, but he held the wrong side of his chest.

“Your heart is on the other side you idiot!” I laughed.

“I know that!” He shouted.

“Of course,” I smirked.

“So what are we going to do now?” Beth asked, standing next to Louis, I winked at her and she blushed.

“You’re going shopping,” Louis said, pointing to me.

“But we went yesterday,” I moaned.

“But we got attacked by fans,” Beth said.

“And you need to get a pretty dress,” Louis winked.

“Why?” I frowned, confused.

“Because, you’re going on a date with Niall tonight,” Harry said.

“I am?” I frowned looking at Niall, who was watching me.

“Yes, you said you’d go on a date with him, so now you are,” Zayn smirked.

“Fine, but only if Louis takes Beth on a date tonight too,” I smiled at Beth and she mouthed ‘thank you’, grinning madly.

“Deal,” Louis smirked.

“Right, well, I’ll go get Mel to drive us to the mall to go dress shopping I’ll see you later Niall,” I winked and everyone laughed.

“Mel!” I shouted as we walked in the room.

“Yes?” She asked, from the bathroom.

“Can you drive me and Beth to the mall, we need to go dress shopping,” I smiled.

“Sure, just give me a second,” She shouted.

“Beth? Sophia?” Niall and Louis said walking in.

“Hey,” We smiled at them.

“Here,” They said each handing us some money.

“What’s this for?” We asked.

“The dresses,” They said in a ‘duh’ sort of tone.

“We can’t let you pay for our dresses,” Beth said and we tried to hand the money back.

“We weren’t asking, we were telling, besides you’ll have to catch us first,” Louis smirked and they both sprinted out the room.

“Stupid Leprechaun,” I growled.

“I heard that!” Niall shouted.

“You were meant to!” I shouted back.

“Whatever, you’ll thank me later,” He laughed, poking his head around the door.

“Maybe, but until then…” I trailed off as Mel walked out the bathroom and grabbed her car keys.

“Let’s go out the back,” She said and we ran down the stairs, it took five minutes and my legs were killing by the end of it. We walked out the back exit and hopped in Mel’s car and started the drive there, singing along to the radio. We were nearly there when a car came out of nowhere and crashed into the side of our car, sending the car spinning. I hit my head on the side of the car and heard the air bags shoot out. When we stopped spinning a looked around at everyone else, we were all in shock to say the least.

“I-Is everyone okay?” I muttered.

“Y-Yes,” Mel and Beth said back. I opened my car door and stumbled out, and someone ran over to me.

“I’m Chloe, I’ve called an ambulance, they’ll be here soon, just… erm, sit down,” She said and helped the three of us to the side of the road.

“I-I’m s-so sorry guys,” Mel stuttered.

“It’s fine, it wasn’t you fault,” Beth said.

“Yes, that car came out of nowhere,” Chloe said. Soon the ambulance and a police car arrived and they ran over to us.

“Do we have to go to hospital?” I asked as a paramedic looked me over.

“I’m afraid so, we need to make sure you don’t have concussion and your head needs stitches,” The paramedic said.

“Urgh,” I groaned, I hate hospitals.

“Come on, it won’t be for long,” She said.

“Fine,” I mumbled and got into the back of the ambulance with the other girls. When we got to the hospital they took us all into separate cubicles and a nurse came in to me.

“Hello, I’m Nurse Lyons, I’m just going to check you over and put some stitches in your head wound,” He smiled at me.

“Thanks,” I smiled.

“Right, you seem fine, other than your head, but that should be fine in a couple of weeks,” He smiled at me after he’d checked me over and put stitches in my head (seven to be exact).

“Urgh, weeks?” I sighed.

“Sorry, but your fringe can cover up the stitches so that’s a bonus,” He smiled.

“Yes, I guess, can I go now?” I asked.

“Yes,” He nodded and he helped me off the bed before I walked out the cubicle so see the other two waiting for me. I thanked the Nurse once more before leaving with Mel and Beth, they were fine apart from some bruising and Beth had a cut on her forehead like me, but the opposite side. We could be like Harry Potter!

We called a taxi and got him to drop us off at the mall. When we got to the shopping mall it wasn’t very busy, I guess most people were at the hotel, waiting for One Direction to make an appearance. “So, why are we going dress shopping? You never told me,” Mel asked as we walked into a dress shop.

“Oh, well Niall is taking me on a date tonight, and Louis is taking Beth on a date tonight, so we need to get dresses,” I smiled.

“Aw, that’s so cute, my cousin and Niall Horan, who would have thought?” Mel smiled and pinched my cheek before I swatted her hand away.

“I can’t believe they gave us the money for the dresses though,” Beth smiled.

“I know right!” I agreed.

“I wish I had a boyfriend who would buy me nice things,” Mel laughed.

“Technically they aren’t our boyfriends,” I pointed out.

“Yet,” Mel smirked.

“Shut up,” I blushed.

“That must be a bonus though, the money, oh and fame, I bet you’ll get a load of press if people find out about this date,” Mel said thoughtfully.

“Because they’re the only reason’s I’m going on a date with Niall, because of the money and fame, because I’m such a gold digger,” I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes.

“Oh I like this one!” Beth said and pulled a dress from the rack.

“You should try it on!” Mel smiled.

“What about this one?” I held up a really nice golden cream dress, it was short, stopping about half way down my thigh.

“Try it on!” Beth shouted.

We went into the changing rooms and tried on the dresses, the dresses both looked great so decided we’d get those. We also picked out some shoes, and then I got a call.

“Hello?” I asked, answering the phone.

“Sophia, it’s Janet Leo,” A lady at the other end asked.

“Oh hello Janet,” I said.

“Hello Sophia, I know it’s last minute but is it possible you can come down to the studio and do some shoots for us? We’re a model down,” She sounded desperate, “We’ll pay you double.”

“Sure, I’ll come now,” I said and she thanked me before hanging up.

“Who was that?” Mel asked.

“Janet, she wanted to know if I could do some photoshoot today, so I’m going to head there now, I’ll meet you back at the hotel later, can you take my dress and things back with you?” I asked as we made our way to a taxi we booked.

“Sure,” Mel said taking my bags off me. We all got in the taxi and I told the driver the address of the modelling studio, once I got there I thanked the driver and hurried inside, leaving the other two to go in the taxi to the hotel.

“Sophia darling!” Janet hugged me.

“Hey Janet,” I smiled.

“Thank you for coming in at such short notice,” Janet smiled and led me to my usual dressing room and modelling studio.

“Right, your clothes are in the dressing room, and yes you do keep them at the end,” She smiled and walked away.

I walked into the dressing room to see loads of lingerie lined up ready for me to model. Yes, I am an underwear model, but I don’t do loads of shoots, just the odd one here and there, and it’s not always underwear, it’s whatever they need me to model.  I usually do it when other girls can’t make the shoot. It has a good pay, so it’s alright, only the girls know about my modelling, not even my family know- other than Mel.

I pulled on the first two piece lingerie, it was black and lacy, with a hot pink frill around the edge. I walked out the changing room in my dressing gown- which was provided for me- and went to hair and make-up. Once they were done I went back into the studio and Amanda (the photographer) and Simon (the designer of the clothes, who helped at shoots) were waiting for me.

“Hello,” I smiled and took my place.

They started instructing me to do different poses and I did as told, then I switched outfits and George (another model) was with me in this shoot, he was modelling men’s boxer pants. We were doing our poses together and whatever Amanda and Simon told us to- like once we had to look as though we were about to kiss, so we were literally like millimetres apart. After about three hours we were done. I got changed back into my clothes, and then put all my new underwear in my bag and jumped in a taxi before heading back to the hotel.

I quickly jumped in the elevator. I know it could break down again, but if it didn’t it’d be quicker than running up the stairs- and I really didn’t want to do that. Luckily it didn’t break down so that was good. I ran into my room to see Molly was doing Beth’s hair and Mel was doing Lauren’s hair.

“You’re back!” Mel smiled.

“Yeah, took longer than I thought, but I got paid and I got to keep the clothes so it was good,” I smiled.

“Did you get any of the pictures?” Molly asked.

“Yeah, they’re in my bag,” I said pointing to the bags I’d dropped on my bed, “I’m going to hop in the shower.”

“Okay, I’ll do your hair if you want after,” Mel smiled.

“Yeah and I’ll do your make-up!” Molly chirped.

“Okay,” I laughed and grabbed my dressing gown and some of my new lingerie. I went into the bathroom and stripped down before turning on the shower and hopping in. I washed my hair under the warm water and then got out, I pulled on my underwear and put my dressing gown on over the top, I blow dried my hair in the bathroom. When I was done, I left the bathroom to see Beth and Lauren doing their make-up.

“Lauren, how come you’re getting all dolled up?” I asked.

“Harry asked me out on a date too!” She grinned.

“Oh that’s great Lauren!” I hugged her, “Is that your dress?”

“Yes, do you like it, I had to get it real quick this afternoon,” She smiled hopeful.

“It’s gorgeous!” I grinned.

“Thanks, are you okay by the way? You know with the car accident and everything?” Lauren smiled.

“Yes, bit of a headache but it’s okay,” I smiled, “Do the boys know yet?”

“No, I didn’t want to worry them,” Beth said.

“Okay, good,” I smiled.

“I’ll do your hair now,” Mel said and pushed me into the chair.

“Make-up!” Molly shouted and grabbed her massive make-up kit. I didn’t have a lot of make-up.

“Please make it look natural,” I said and she nodded. Mel used the already heated up straighteners to curl my hair and Molly made me have a really nice natural make-up look.

Whilst we were doing this, Beth and Lauren were finishing their make-up and pulling on their dresses. I slipped into my dress once Mel and Molly were done with me and then we all sat on my bed and they looked through my modelling pictures from earlier.

“Oh he’s hot,” Lauren said, talking about George.

“Is that George?” Molly asked.

“Yes,” I nodded, “And Lauren, you have Harry.”

“I know, I know, but I can still browse,” She winked and we all laughed.

“So is he a good kisser?” Mel asked.

“Who?” I asked.

“George,” She winked.

“I wouldn’t know,” I glared at her, “We just work together.”

“Fine,” She sighed.

“Wow, these outfits are quite revealing,” Molly laughed.

“I just model what I’m given,” I laughed.

“Anyway, what time are you meeting the lads?” Mel asked.

“We’re all meeting downstairs in the back car park, and we’re splitting up from there, and that is in… five minutes ago,” Beth said.

“Okay,” I smiled, “Shall we get going?”

“Yes, fashionably late,” Lauren smiled and we all nodded before slipping into our high heels.

“Do we look okay”? We asked looking at ourselves in the mirror and then we turned to the other two.

“You look hot, now go knock ‘um dead,” Mel laughed and pushed us out the door.

We walked down to the elevator and took it down to the lobby, I was not going to walk down the stairs in heels.

“Ready?” I asked as we stood by the back exit door.

“Ready,” They nodded and I pushed the door open.

Three handsome boys turned to face us, and their jaws all dropped and their eyes widened.
