One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)

Annie's POV

"Ughhhh! I'm so bored!" I call from my place on the couch with Gen.

"Sorry, girls, I can't do anything right now, I'm working," my mom says from the table on her computer. "Go ask Kate."

We head over to Katie's room and slowly open the door. "Ohhh, Avenue?" I say in a sweet voice, Gen laughing beside me, recognizing the old nickname Avery has had since childhood. "Kate? Hailee?"

"Oh, no. They want something!" Katie looks over at the other girls, who just roll their eyes.

"What makes you think we want something? We just wanted to know what you're up to!" Gen says defensively.

"Just talking," Avery answers, looking at the floor.

I notice her look. "Louis?" I sigh and they nod.

After a few seconds of silence, Gen finally says, "We wanna do something!"

"Not in the mood," Katie says waving us away.

"Fine! Be that way!" I shout.

"Go ask the boys," Hailee tells us.

We close the door, heading out to where the guys are staying in my brothers room in the garage.

We knock on the door. "GUYS?!" I yell at the top of my lungs, as Niall answers.

"SHH! Harry and Zayn are asleep," he says, opening the door wider to let us in.

Liam and Louis are watching TV on the couch, with Zayn and Harry passed out on the bed.

"We wanna do something!" Gen repeats, crossing her arms.

"I'm tired, I don't want to do anything," Louis says, stretching across the couch.

"Neither do I, you guys have fun," Liam adds.

"Come on, guys! No need to be boring!" I pout.

"I'm up for anything!" Niall says, laughing. "What d'you guys have in mind?"

"I don't know," I say opening the door, again, heading back to the house with Niall and Gen.

"You're the one who lives here! Think of something!" Gen shouts, shoving me.

"Well, there's not much!" I shove her back.

We walk up the steps to the living room, where my mom is sitting at her computer, still.

"Do you have any suggestions on what we should do, Aunty Liz?" Gen asks plopping down beside her.

"You could go to the beach?" she says, not looking up from the computer screen.

I scrunch up my face. I really don't like the beach.

"Lahaina?"

"YES!" Gen and I both shout.

"What's that?" Niall asks, looking confused.

"It's an oceanfront town, where all the tourists go, they have amazing restaurants and it's really fun to walk around," Gen answers.

"Sounds cool. Let's go!"

"SHOTGUN!" I yell at the top of my lungs, climbing into passenger seat of the car.

"Not fair!" Gen says sticking out her tongue, before hopping in the back.

"Perfectly fair," I shoot back.

We continue our bickering as Niall climbs in the drivers seat.

"Okay! I'm gonna need directions, since I have no idea where we're going!" he says over our voices.

"Don't worry about it." I turn to him. "I know where we're going."

☆☆☆☆☆

"How much longer?!" Gen asks from the backseat.

"That depends on how much Niall wants to get lost." I poke him on the arm. "Now, go left."

"Hey! It's not my fault you're bad at giving directions!" he says making the left.

"Finally! We're on the right track!"

We drive along the edge of a cliff, straight down was the ocean.

"Woah! We're, like, right next to the ocean!" Niall looks down the cliff. "What if we drive off?!"

"Calm down. I've been down this road hundreds of times! We won't fall off."

"We better not!" he scoffs. "What are we gonna do when we get there, anyway?"

"We're going to Front Street!" Gen pipes up.

"Front Street is the main place where people go in Lahaina. There are beaches, shops, and these huge banyan trees that are over a hundred years old," I explain.

Gen's POV

"Ok, girls! What do you want to do first?" Niall asks us after we make our way--safely, might I add--to Lahaina.

"EAT!" Annie and I both yell in unison, earning a laugh from Niall.

"Great minds think alike. What's a good place to eat around here?" he asks as we walk down to the shops from where we parked.

"Hard Rock!" we yell again in unison, laughing at ourselves.

"Wow, I'm beginning to see what Avery means," Niall chuckles.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" I say harshly.

"Nothing, she just said you guys are so much alike."

"Eh, I can see it," Annie says, eyeballing me. I look her up and down.

"We are a couple of good-looking dishes," I say cocking me eyebrow and knuckle-bumping her.

"Yep! She was dead on! Ok, ladies, lead the way," Niall says gesturing forward. We look at each other, before grabbing his hands and running off to the café.

"So, can I take your order?" the waitress asks us, pulling out her little notepad.

"Uhhh, can I get the 'Twisted Mac, Chicken & Cheese', but without the red peppers," I ask politely in my high-pitched voice, handing her the menu.

"And for you?" she asks, gesturing to Annie.

"I'll take the Fish 'n Chips, please."

"And for you, Sir?" she asks, before talking a closer look at Niall. "Oh my god, aren't you from One Direction?! Oh my god!" she asks, trying not to hyperventilate.

"Yes, I am." He smiles at her warmly. I can see Annie rolling her eyes, so I kick her under the table, silently.

'OW!' she mouths to me, kicking me back, we continue this footsey war for a few minutes, thinking no one would notice, but after Niall finishes ordering, and signing a paper for the waitress, he turns to us.

"What the hell are you two doing?"

"Someone's rude!" Annie huffs at me.

"I'm rude?! Who's the one rolling her eyes at the waitress?!" I spit back. "You know you'd be doing the same."

"You still kicked me, though." she replies, stubbornly.

"May I remind you of last time we were out here?! 'This is for everything.' SLAP! Do you remember that?" I ask, reenacting what Annie had done last time. We had been at the airport, just walking along, she turned around, completely straight-faced, said 'This is for everything,' and slapped me across the face. Hard.

"I gave you a warning. That entire trip I was saying 'I'm gonna slap you.' And hey, you spit on me so it was fair!" she shoots back. Damn it. That's true, I did spit on her. Auntie Liz pretended she didn't know us and Katie and Avery were stuck in the middle of us as we ran around them in the center of the airport.

"I gave you a warning for that, too, though," I start. "I would be obnoxious, you'd say 'I'm gonna slap you.' I'd say 'I'll spit on you.' You'd say 'Then, I'll spit on you.' I'd say 'I'd like it.' And the argument would be over."

"Wow. Exactly alike," Niall, who is cracking up already, states, trying to keep a straight-face, but failing miserably.

"So, Gen, you never actually told me who your favorite was." Before I can even think, Annie is responding for me.

"You couldn't tell from the cardboard cutout in her room?" Annie asks in a 'duhh' face.

"There was none in her room," Niall says, not catching on.

"You took it down?" Annie turns to ask me.

'Shut up!' I mouth to her.

"Who's the cutout of?" Niall asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Blake Shelton," I respond. I had always wanted a cardboard cutout of him. I love Blake so much! Even before I fell for One Direction! He had me at 'Austin' and 'Ol' Red' god, and 'The Baby'. I love that man.

"Liar. She loves you, Niall," Annie says. I can't help but blush.

"Oh, well, I love you, too, both of you." He smiles at us. Ok, I can't help it. NIALL HORAN JUST SAID HE LOVES ME!! Ok, I'm better now, I mean I've said it to him before, but this was full on, just, AHH! Ok, I'm done now.

"Don't try and horn in on my Horan," I say to Annie, trying to keep my cool. She just scoffs at me.

Annie's POV

After eating we wander around the streets. A few people recognize Niall and take pictures and ask for autographs, but since there is barely anyone around, we mostly stay out of sight. We arrive at the banyan tree at the end of the street. Aside from us there are only a few people.

"I've never seen it so empty," I say taking a look around.

"Well, then let's do this!" Niall says squealing like a little girl, running over to the one of the tree trunks, heaving himself up onto a branch.

"NIALL HORAN!" I yell. "You're not allowed to climb them!"

"It's okay! There's nobody around. Come on!" He extends his hand for me to take.

I sigh. "Okay..." I climb up after him.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Gen shouts from the other side of the tree where she is taking pictures. "I wanna climb!"

We sit in the tree for a few minutes, talking, until we hear a voice yell. "HEY! You can't climb the trees!"

"Oh, dang..." I mutter, knowing this probably won't end well.

A snobby looking man approaches us, we hop off the branch as he looks at us up and down. "I hope you realize these trees are over 150 years old," he lectures us. "We would like to keep them in this condition for many more years to come!"

"Sorry, sir," Niall says to the man who yelled at us. "We didn't know."

I told him people weren't allowed to climb the trees, but as an international superstar, he probably thinks he can do whatever he wants.

"Just be more careful next time," he turns away, buying Niall's little lie.

"You're almost as good of a liar as me!" I tell him, crossing my arms.

"That's right! I've gotten the whole straight faced thing down!"

"I don't know if that's something you two should be proud of..." Gen trails off.

"We could probably take over the earth with our power!" I glare at her menacingly.

"Well, it's getting sorta late, girls, should we call it a day?" Niall asks.

"Sure," I say as Gen nods.

"This was fun!" she says as we make our way back to the car. "I don't wanna go back to your house, though. There's all this tension in the air with the whole Avery and Louis thing."

"I feel ya! I was dying to get out of there!" Niall hops into the drivers seat and I sit down next to him. "But I'm glad I could spend the day with my favorite little girls."

"I am not a little girl!" I scream, but I can't help but smile from his comment.

"Haha, you're right! What was I thinking?!" He taps his forehead.

"You're our favorite, too!" Gen hollers from the backseat throwing herself in between the front seats.

"I have to agree!" I smile.
