Sophia is chilling in the kitchen with Scott, Curtis, and Ron, mid-rant about her true loves: One Direction. The boys are half-listening, half-wondering if she'll ever stop.
Sophia: "I'm telling you, I've seen them everywhere. London, Spain, Italy, Germany, even Singapore. My dad knew people who worked with them, so I got proper VIP treatment. Like, met them a couple of times and everything."
Scott, stirring a mug of tea, looks up skeptically.
Scott: "Met them a couple of times? That's not normal, Soph. You're acting like you were part of the crew or something."
Sophia: "I basically was! Me and Harry had a moment once, I swear. He told me my outfit was 'cool.'"
Curtis, pouring cereal: "What's 'cool' in Harry Styles language? Glittery and made of feathers?"
Sophia ignores him completely, her eyes lighting up.
Sophia: "And when I saw them in Singapore, Niall waved at me. I know it was me. I could feel it in my bones."
Scott rolls his eyes.
Scott: "Yeah, sure, he waved at you. You and the 50,000 other screaming girls."
Sophia slams her hands on the counter.
Sophia: "SCOTT, I WILL NOT HAVE YOU DIMINISH MY CONNECTION WITH NIALL HORAN!"
Ron, watching from the side, is fully grinning now.
Ron: "Soph, I'm just waiting for you to tell me you were their unofficial sixth member."
Sophia, deadly serious: "I could've been if I wanted to. I know every word to every song. Watch."
She grabs a wooden spoon and hops onto a barstool like it's her own stage. With absolutely no shame, she belts out the opening lines of "Live While We're Young."
Sophia: "HEY GIRL, I'M WAITING ON YA, I'M WAITING ON YA, COME ON AND LET ME SNEAK YOU OUT!"
Curtis, hyped up immediately, grabs a spatula and joins in, dancing around the kitchen.
Scott facepalms while Ron leans against the counter, full-on cackling.
Sophia and Curtis: "YEAH, WE'LL KEEP DOING WHAT WE DO—JUST PRETENDIN' THAT WE'RE COOL!"
Sophia points dramatically at Scott for the next line.
Sophia: "AND WE KNOW IT TOO!"
Scott, utterly done: "Absolutely not. You lot are the reason humanity peaked in 2014."
Sophia, unfazed, drags Ron into the "performance" by handing him the wooden spoon.
Sophia: "Ron, you're Zayn. Let's go!"
Ron shakes his head but joins in anyway, his deep voice completely ruining the harmony. Curtis is somehow attempting a Louis-esque high note, and it's a chaotic mess of screaming, stomping, and laughter.
Beach Hut – Scott
"If I have to hear about One Direction one more time, I might lose it. But credit where it's due—Soph and Curtis should take that act on tour. They're equally terrible, so it works."
Beach Hut – Ron
"Honestly, I'm not even embarrassed. Soph's got this way of making you do things you'd never do, and you don't even care. She's a proper superstar, isn't she?"
The scene ends with Curtis attempting a moonwalk, Sophia hitting a note so high it cracks, and Scott stealing the spoon just to put an end to the madness.
