"Name please," the man had a very cheerless expression. He wore a black suit along with a white shirt. He didn't seem young, rather he looked to be around fourth-five.

"Anaya. Anaya Tawfeeq" I said proudly.

"And the young lady next to you?"

"That's Rumejsa, my plus one." He glanced at her and then looked down at the paper on his desk. He turned multiple pages till he came across my name.

"You can go." He said, giving me a blank look.

He stamped our hands with black ink. It said 'Arab Fashion Week 2016.' It looked a little like black henna which is pretty cool. We took a left from the reception and walked through a long corridor. There was directions on the wall, telling the guests which way to go, seeing as the building had a lot of corridors. I opened one of the doors which had a paper stuck on. It had 'Fashion show' written on it.

We walked into the room to see that the fashion show had already started and some of the models were doing their catwalk. Ugh! We missed the first part. Rumejsa grabbed my arm and dragged me to the chairs. We quickly sat down. Luckily no one noticed we were late. I was seated next to a young teenage boy with long curly hair coloured light brown. He, along with Adam Saleh and his manager Naz who were sat next to him, were snap-chatting the models and themselves lip syncing to the songs being played. I looked straight at Rumejsa and gave a smirky laugh. She didn't realise it was Adam Saleh or Naz, I don't think so anyway. She would've freaked out if she knew so I kept quite.

After the catwalk refreshments were served. Coffee, cakes, crisps, sandwiches, pizza and even herbal tea were placed on a red table. There were so many other things too that I had never seen before.

"I'm just going to get us some pizza yeah." I informed Rumejsa.

"Get me some coffee please" she said, glancing over at the table.

I walked to the table and got two plates. I filled them both with the same things, a sandwich, a cake slice, a slice of pizza and a cupcake. Both of my hands were occupied so I left the coffee on the table.

"You're not eating all of that are you" laughed a guy stood next to me. I didn't see who he was but he had a very strong American accent.

"No, no. One of them is for my friend" I smiled.

"If you say so" he laughed again. I rolled my eyes at him.

"I'm Adam by the way." I looked at him and only noticed that it was Adam. Adam Saleh.

"I know, I've seen some of your videos. I'm Anaya."

"I know, I've seen some of your videos."
I was unsure if Adam had actually seen my videos or if he was imitating me. I just laughed.

"Did you come alone?"

"Nope, I came with my friend Rumejsa. What about you?"

"Oh cool. Harris and my manager Naz." He combed his fingers through his hair. I had only just noticed that his hair was now pink. Bright pink. How did I miss that?!

"Harris?" I had a confused look. I've never heard of him before.

"Yeah, you know Harris J.. the British one.. from London.. singer?.. curly hair dude?"

"Oh! the curly hair guy. I think I sat next to him earlier."

Adam laughed at me and then said "yeah haha. I'll introduce you to him later. I've gotta go, it was nice talking to you." He quickly went before I got a chance to say bye.

I stood there for another two minutes, looking around for Rumejsa. I couldn't see her at all. I started to walk around the room and try find her but it was hopeless, there was too many people.

"Boo!" Someone shoved me from the back causing one of the cupcakes to fall. I turned around and realised it was Rumzy.

"Don't do that! You scared me" I whined in annoyance.

"That was the whole point, Sherlock" she said sarcastically.

I told her about the conversation I just had with Adam. Surprise, surprise, she freaked out. Rumejsa was always part of the Adoomy Gang. Well, ever since I've known her. She kept talking about him non-stop. Even whilst we were eating. I don't think I've ever heard anything as boring. Once we had finished eating, we walked around the room and spoke to other people. I met youtubers I didn't know existed and I also got a chance to talk to the fashion designer.

Rumejsa forced me to introduce her to Adam and Naz. If you know Rumejsa, you'd also know that she won't take no for an answer. Ever.

"Hey Adam" I greeted him.

"Hi Anaya and.."

"Rumejsa" she interrupted. I quietly giggled under my breath, hoping she didn't hear.

"She's kind of a fan" I laughed. Rumejsa went red and became a shy little puppy.

"Hiya. Are you okay?" Adam hugged her so tight that it got me wondering if she could even breathe. She totally ignored his question. He finally pulled away so she asked if she could get a selfie with him and Naz.

"And you, Harris" she looked at the curly hair boy.

"You know him?" I asked.

"Yeah of course. He's in Adams vlogs" she replied after taking a selfie with Harris.

"Oh you haven't met yet? Naz and Harris this is Anaya. Anaya this is Naz and Haarrriiiisss" Adam said pointed at them and also emphasising on Harris's name. Rumejsa, Naz and Adam all laughed which made Harris go red.

"Why did you say it like that" I asked, confused.

"No reason, no reason" Naz cackled.

I looked over at Harris and noticed the faint scar on his chin. I didn't think to ask what it was because it's rude. But for some reason it made him look.. somewhat cute. His eyes were dark and sparkly brown. I couldn't help but notice how his eyebrows were a perfect shape, even though you could tell he doesn't get them done. His soft curly hair, delicately fell onto his face covering most of his forehead and parts of his eyebrows. He was short for a guy. I mean, I was a little shorter than him so he must've been around 5'5".

"I think me and the guys are going to a local restaurant. Do you two wanna come along?" Adam asked.

"Erm, I don't mind. Rumejsa?"

"Sure" she smiled.

"We're sitting in the booth!" Harris and Naz shouted at the same time.

"JINX!" Harris yelled, pointing at Naz.

"You're so childish" Naz and I laughed.

"Shut up" Harris said, rolling his eyes at me, jokingly. I nudged him and then walked next to Rumejsa resting my head on her shoulder.

When the Uber driver came, everyone argued about who was going to sit where. I got annoyed and yelled at them. It wasn't my fault, they practically took 15 minutes just to figure out where to sit! It's only a seat, why does it even matter?

There was four of us at the back which meant we had to squeeze together. I sat by the window with Rumejsa on my left, then Harris and Adam. Naz sat at the front.

It took around 10 minutes to get to Nandos from the venue. When we finally arrived, everyone ran to the booth. I had to sit right at the end which is the worst place to sit because you have to get up every time someone wants to get out. I didn't mind this time, only cause I was next to Harris. I don't like him or anything, he just seems live and fun to be around.

"Everyone smile!" Adam had his phone out to take a selfie. We all posed for the camera and then went to the till to give our orders. Me and Harris had already given our orders so we went back to the booth. We sat there awkwardly not saying a single word so I decided to break the silence.

"So where are you from then" I asked.

"London. What about you?"

"No way. I've never seen you around. What area?"

"South" he said boastfully.

"Central" I laughed. My phone started to vibrate continuously.

"Someones popular" Harris giggled.

I checked my phone to see hundreds of dm's and comments with my tag under Adam's picture. I clicked on Adam's account to view the picture. He posted the selfie. I didn't mind but clearly our supporters did. I had seen so many of these comments:

"This is haram @yoitsanaya you shouldn't hang out with boys."
"Ew why is @yoitsanaya with @officialharrisj @adamsaleh @naz_izi 😂😒"
"@yoitsanaya this is so disappointing 😔"

"Have you seen some of the comments on Adam's recent?" I asked Harris.

"Yeah, I was just looking at them. Ignore it, don't let them get to you."

"They're kind of right tho."

Harris looked at me, shrugged his shoulders and quickly looked away. I could tell he agreed but didn't want to say anything. The others came back so I tried to act normal. I told Adam to check his recent, he didn't seem bothered by the hate at all. Usually it doesn't get to me at all, but this time it's slightly annoying me. Anyway, I brushed it off and joined in on the conversation. For some reason they were talking about unicorns and flying ponies. Adam likes ponies and unicorns. Wow! Now that's hilarious.

"Halloumi cheese burger with peri chips?" Said the waitress in a Dubai accent.

"Yep, that's mine" I replied, cheerfully. She placed the plate right in front of me.

"And butterfly chicken burger with peri chips and sweetcorn?"
"Oh that's mine. Thank you" Harris put his hand in the air, as if he was in school waiting to answer a question.

"Awww." Adam looked at me and Harris with a massive grin on his face.

"I swear I will punch you so hard on your face" I argued.

"Go ahead" he laughed. I got up from my seat and took one step towards him and then Harris interrupted.

"Woah, woah, woah! Calm down, he's just messing around and Adam please shut up."

Naz and Rumejsa were just sitting there laughing. I noticed that Naz was snap-chatting which annoyed me even more but I decided to ignore it. 

After we had eaten our food and washed our hands, we sat for half an hour longer, talking about the shows that we watch and which one is better. My stomach was so full I could barely even talk.

"Is that the time?! It's really late Anaya. We need to get going." Rumejsa looked at me worriedly. Oh god! Her mum was going to kill us. Luckily her house wasn't too far so we called an uber. The boys were going to walk home but decided they'd wait with us and then get going. When the uber came we hugged them goodbye and then got into the car.
