Ruby’s P.O.V.
ONE WEEK LATER
“They’re youtube queens at 17. Please welcome to the
stage, Ruby Croft and Alaska Merino!”
We walk down the hall to come out to where the cameras are, with
Kiss You playing in the backround. We both do a little dance before
sitting down.
“So good to have you on the show, girls!”
“It’s so good to be here!” I reply.
“Now, I understand Alaska had her first trip to the beach
yesterday…”
“Yes! It was awesome! The sand is wayyy softer than what I
thought it would be like, and the water was nice and cold! I Made
my first ever sandcastle. Ruby taught me how to surf! It was just
awesome.” She said.
“What did you think the sand would feel like?”
“Sandpaper.” The audience bursts out laughing,
including me.
“I sound like Sophia Grace, Don’t I?”
“Yep.” I finish.
Again, the audience laughs.
“And Ruby! This accent you have, where is it from?”
“AOTEAROA REPRESENT!”
“Aotearoa?”
“That’s the Maori native’s name for New
Zealand.”
“Okay.”
And then my awesome spacial awareness kicks in. There’s
someone sneaking up behind us. And then I remember that sometimes
Ellen sends people out to scare her guests.
So, thinking that was it, I waited, and kept answering questions,
so I could pretend I was’nt scared when they crept up on
us.
But then a minute passed.
And another minute.
And another minute.
They would have scared us by now.
So, when I answer the question “Who’s your fave member
of One Direction?” with “I have no favourites, I just
have a soft spot for Liam Payne.”, I turn my head around
slightly.
And that’s when I saw them.
I turn my body round fully.
I pinch my stomach.
“I’m not dreaming, am i?”
They shake their heads.
I try to rationalise myself, and I start to talk to myself.
“Okay. Ruby, keep calm, and – oh, screw it. I am a
fangirl, I CAN NOT KEEP CALM.”
And then, I start bobbling up and down in my seat, letting out a
couple of high pitched squeals.
Ellen’s epicly laughing, and Alaska is still unaware of
what’s going on.
“What are you too laughing at?” asks Alaska.
I stop fangirling.
“You seriously don’t know.”
“I don’t know!”
“Look Behind You!” and then I resume fangirling.
Alaska turns around.
“HOLY HALOS IT’S LIKE THEY’RE
PHOTOSHOPPED!” she squeals.
“I KNOW!” I shout.
Because standing right infront of me was…..
One Direction.
Teaser: 'Seriously. I just completed my bucket list right
there, what else could i possibly get?'
