"Troy, I.." I trailed off, not expecting him to have
kissed me.
"I'm sorry. I should have waited." he said, looking
at the floor. I lifted his chin so he was looking me in the
eyes.
"No. You shouldn't have." I replied, and gently
touched my lips to his. When I pulled apart, I was sure that I
was blushing like crazy. I heard a door close loudly behind me. I
looked, and sure enough, the door that had slammed closed was
mine. Which meant that Harry had probably seen us kiss.
"I would offer to take you for a meal, but my brother's
in town for the night, so..."
"I totally understand. Go have fun! I'll see you in the
morning." I said, giving him a goodbye wave.
"Bye cutie." he said with a wink. I had butterflies in
my stomach and a big smile on my face when I walked into the
hotel room.
"Hey." Harry said as I walked in. He was sitting on his
bed, looking over some music.
"New song?" I asked, taking a seat close next to
him.
"Kind of. Still learning it." he answered, not removing
his eyes from the paper.
"Can I look at it?" I asked, eager to see what song it
was.
"Sure." he said, handing my the paper. I looked at the
notes on the white paper, reading the title. I Should've
Kissed You. Well this is awkward.
"Can you sing it for me?" I asked, putting on my puppy
dog eyes.
"I don't really know it..." he said.
"Please? For me?" I asked, batting my
eyelashes.
"Fine."
He sang the first verse without looking at me, but when he got to
the chorus, he really got into it.
"I should, I should, oh I should've kissed you." he
sang, gazing deeply into my eyes. Once he was finished, I stood
up and clapped for him.
"For someone who barely knows the song, that was really
good!" I said, smiling.
"Well thanks. I'm starving, care to get a bite to
eat?" he asked, grabbing his coat. I grabbed my sweater and
my phone and followed him out of the hotel room. When we found a
restaurant, we both sat down and ordered. A few minutes after we
were seated and waiting for our food, a girl who looked to be my
age or a year older walked by the table. Harry noticed her, and
checked her out. She must have noticed, because she stopped at
our table.
"Do I know you?" Harry asked, even though it was
obvious he didn't.
"No. But would you like to?" she asked, raising an
eyebrow flirtatiously.
"Are you with anybody?" he asked, and I knew this
wasn't going to be good.
"No, I'm not." she answered.
"Take a seat, you can eat with me." he said, not even
bothering to look at me or introduce her.
"I'm Kate." she said, giving him a small
handshake.
"Harry." he said. I could see him looking at me from
the corner of his eyes, and I wished he would just acknowledge
me. It would be better than being invisible. They talked for what
seemed like hours, but was really only twenty minutes. When our
food came, I ate as quickly as I could, threw ten dollars on the
table and walked out of the restaurant. Harry hadn't said a
single word to me at dinner. It was like I wasn't even there.
I wish I wasn't. I tried to get a taxi, but it was too busy
of a time. So I started to walk. As I passed the window near
where Harry was seated, I saw him get up and walk to the
exit.
"Harley! Harley, wait up. Where are you going?" he
asked, catching up to me.
"I'm not going to sit around and watch you and that girl
for the rest of my night! You didn't talk to me once during
dinner." I said, getting frustrated.
"So?" he asked, trying to play it cool.
"So I thought we were friends Harry!" I screamed,
getting really angry and kind of emotional.
"I don't want to be just friends. I want to be
more." he said, brushing his hair out of his face.
"Well it's too late for that! You're the one who
told me we should be just friends in the first place! Make up
your mind." I said.
"It looked you did this morning. Unless you usually shove
your tongue down boys throats for fun." he said.
"I cannot believe you just said that." I said, getting
tears in my eyes. I ran away from him, and walked as far as I
could before giving in and sitting on a bench. Why do boys have
to be so complicated?
~~~~~~
Harry finally tells her! But she's with Troy! OH NO! haha,

AN UNEXPECTED LOVE
A One Direction Story
Chapter 15
We arrived at the place the photo shoot was being held at by two.
Only the five boys of One Direction were getting their pictures
taken today, but Troy and I needed to go to soundcheck
afterwards, so we tagged along. We watched as all the boys got
their individual pictures and group photos. After the photo shoot
was over, we went back to the bus.
"That was fun!" Liam exclaimed as we walked back to the
tour busses.
"You guys looked like you were having a blast!" I
replied, trying to make conversation. We loaded up the busses,
Troy going on the other one this time. I went to the back room to
watch television, and Harry came back a few minutes
later.
"What are you watching?" he asked, sitting down right
next to me.
"I don't know. I think it's called the Friend Zone
or something." I answered, unsure of what this show was
about.
"Oh, I like this show." he replied, so I figured he had
seen it before. I quickly caught on to the concept of the show:
someone falls in love with their best friend and decides to tell
them. We watched TV for another episode or two, then we arrived
at the stadium where we had our soundcheck.
Once soundcheck was over, we headed back to the hotel. The first
concert in this town was tmomrrow night, so we all decided to
hang out around town tonight.
"Okay, so we'll meet up in about an hour." Harry
told the group. I followed him back to our hotel room and once I
was there, I flopped down on my bed.
"I am SO tired." I groaned, pulling a pillow up to my
head. Harry decided it would be funny if he turned the radio on
full blast.
"HARRY! Turn that off!" I exclaimed, my ears about to
burst.
"Or what?" he asked playfully.
"Or else." I said. Harry walked over to where I lay and
jumped on the bed. He stood above me, and held the remote to the
stereo.
"Want it?" he asked, moving it out of my reach every
time I went to go get it.
"Please?" I asked, batting my eyelashes at him. I
jumped up to grab it, and when I reached my arm up, his arms
wrapped around my waist. He pulled me down on the bed, and lay a
few inches above me. I didn't move at first, just getting
lost in his green eyes. I finally moved and went to shower, my
brain filled with confused thoughts.
HARRY'S POV
"Louis, I don't know what to do." I said, confused
about what had happened earlier today.
"Well Harry, you're making it very obvious that you
fancy her." said Louis, and I wondered if he was right. I
had tried to make it look like we were only friends, but it was
hard to do. After what happened in the hotel room today, I found
myself wondering if Harley had similar feelings.
"One minute, she says she's all over Troy, and the next
she's lying under me on a bed in a hotel room, not
complaining! What is she trying to do?" I asked, my head
hurting from thinking so much.
"It seems to me that she might have feeling for the both of
you. Which means one thing." Louis answered.
"What?" I asked.
"Tell her how you feel. You do like her, no?" Louis
asked.
"Yeah, I do. You're right. I'm going to tell Harley
right now that I want to be with her." I said, and walked
out of Louis' room. I went back to my hotel room, but stopped
once I turned the corner. The sight I saw made my stomach twist.
Troy had his arms around Harley, and his lips were glued to hers.
So much for telling her how I feel. If she wants to date someone
else, then two can play at that game.

Chapter 14
I sat in the hotel room for another few minutes, feeling very
confused about what had just happened. One minute Harry tells me
he just wants to be friends, and the next he tells me he wants to
be with me? I just decided to pretend that the last hour
didn't happen.
I walked out of the hotel room just in time to catch breakfast
with the guys.
"Hey guys, wait up!" I called, jogging to make it to
the elevator before it closed shut.
"Thought you were going with Troy?" Harry whispered as
I stepped in next to him.
"And not spend time with you? That's not what best
friends do." I said, smiling at him. He smiled back, and I
knew we were good.
"Something happen last night that we should know
about?" asked Louis, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Absolutely not!" I screamed, shocked that Louis would
say that.
"Yeah, she's sharing a room with me, not Troy."
Harry said, smirking.
"Oh, so Harley and Troy?" asked Zayn. Oh god Harry. He
needed to learn to keep his mouth shut.
"No! Nothing happened between me and any guy last
night!" I clarified.
"But you wanted it to." Liam said, and I could feel my
face turning a crimson red.
"No guys! It's not like that, trust me." I said,
hoping they would change the subject.
"Troy seemed pretty into you yesterday." Niall
said.
"Great! Can we please change the subject?" I asked, and
thankfully the elevator opened. We walked to the hotel restaurant
and sat down. Breakfast was brought to us, and once we were
finished eating, we loaded the tour busses to go to a photoshoot.
Troy came on our bus too, since the manager told the boys to bond
with him. I sat on the couch with my laptop in my lap, checking
my facebook page. Before I had time to chat any of my friends
back home, Niall and Harry squished in on the couch next to
me.
"Let's practice for the photo shoot!" Niall
said.
"I need to perfect my smile." Harry added.
"Okay, let me just sign out of facebook." I said,
hoping they wouldn't see my profile picture before I did. Too
late.
"What's that a picture of?" Niall asked, pointing
to the icon in the top left corner of my screen.
"It's a picture of my friend and me." I answered,
clicking the logout button. I then clicked the webcam icon and up
came a screen that showed Niall, Harry and me.
"Smile big!" I said, and showed my white teeth for the
camera. We took a few goofy pictures, with silly faces, rock on
signs, and weird smiles. Niall went to go get a snack and Harry
went to use the bathroom, which left Troy and I. He came and sat
next to me. We haven't talked since last night, and I
don't know why he's making this awkward.
"Care to take a picture with me?" he asked,
half-smiling. Gosh, that was cute.
"Of course." I said, getting ready to click on the
camera button. Right as I did that, Troy leaned in and kissed my
cheek. Even though I wasn't prepared for that, the picture
did come out pretty darn adorable. I was smiling wide and he was
kissing my cheek. I shut my laptop and turned to face him.
"Are you single?" I asked him.
"If I wasn't, would I do this?" he asked, leaning
in to kiss me on the lips.
"Troy..." I breathed, stopping his lips from touching
mine.
"I'm sorry." he said, running a hand through his
hair.
"No, don't apologize. It's just that I want to get
to know you before I start falling for you." I said.
"I understand." he said.
I didn't. Because I think I was already falling for him. And
Harry.

Chapter 13
I woke up the next morning extremely tired. I rolled out of bed
and saw Harry changing his shirt.
"Morning." I mumbled, going to get in the
shower.
"Good morning." he replied politely. I turned the
faucet on and showered. Five minutes later, I ran a comb through
my wet hair and walked out into the hotel room to get dressed. I
grabbed my clothes and walked back into the bathroom. I threw on
my dark skinny jeans and a gray sweater with my black converse
and walked out of the bathroom. I glanced at the clock.
10:00.
"Want to go get breakfast?" I asked Harry, trying to
make the tense atmosphere in the room go away.
"Sure. Give me a minute." he said, and disappeared into
the bathroom. I walked over to my bed and grabbed my
phone.
2 NEW MESSAGES:
Dad: Having fun sweetie? Call soon!
Kelsey: OMG. why didn't you tell me about the new
guy?
What new guy? Troy? How could Kelsey have found out about him?
Zayn. I had forgot they had gotten along well for the two nights
they hung out together. Before I had time to text her back, I was
getting a call from her.
"How could you not tell me about some new hot guy?
Seriously?" she asked.
"Maybe because it's nothing serious?" I said back,
making it sound like a question
"Please girl. You know you want him." she
said.
"I don't know that though." I answered, feeling
conflicted.
"So how are things with Harry?" she asked, and I could
practically see her wiggling her eyebrows in her dorm
room.
"Harry? What are you talking about?" I asked, confused
as to where she was headed.
"Oh please! You two are totally going to end up
together." she said matter of factly.
"Harry and I are not totally going to end up together. He
just wants to be friends." I said, toning my voice down a
little bit.
"But that's not what you want is it honey?" she
asked.
"I don't know what I want. Why does life have to be so
difficult sometimes! Ugh! I gotta go, long day ahead of me.
I'll talk to you later. And what you're thinking is
crazy!" I said, then hung up.
"So who thinks we're totally going to end up
together?" Harry asked, standing in the bathroom doorway. I
hadn't realized he was probably listening to our entire
conversation.
"Kelsey seems to think we were made for each other. But
she's kind of crazy."
"Maybe not." he said, and brushed his hair out of his
eyes.
"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.
"I mean what if she's right?" Did I hear him
correctly? One minute he says we should just be friends, the next
he says we should date?
"Troy isn't good enough for you." he said. It was
silent for a few seconds, before I gained the courage to
speak.
"Don't do that." I said, getting angry.
"Don't do what?" he asked, innocently.
"Don't tell me Troy isn't good enough for me. You
can't play me like that. You tell me that you only want to be
friends, and I accept that. But now that I may actually like
somebody else, you tell me you want me? That's not fair
Harry." I said, getting tears in my eyes.
"Harley, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset
you." he said, looking sympathetic.
"Yeah, well you did." I said, not softening my
attitude.
"You're right. It's not fair of me to play you like
that. And I apologize. I'm going to go catch up with the
boys, why don't you go spend some time with Troy?" he
said, and walked out of the room with a pained expression in his
eyes. Was I the one that was crazy? I just turned down Harry
Styles for some boy I barely knew. Little did I know I would come
to regret that decision.

Chapter 12
"Harley. Harley, wake up." said a voice I could hear
faintly.
"Hmm?" I mumbled, still half asleep.
"We;re at the hotel." they said, and when my vision
focused, I saw Niall standing a few feet about me.
"Grab your stuff, we're going to check in." he
said, walking over to retrieve his few bags. We were staying at
this hotel for a few nights, so I brought all of my stuff in with
me. It was about three in the morning by the time we were checked
in and on our way to our rooms.
"Okay, so two people per room. Niall and Liam, you two are
sharing a room, and Louis will be sharing one with Liam. Troy,
since you're the new kid here, you get your own room. Which
leave Harry and Harley to be roomies. Get some sleep, we're
up and out by eleven tomorrow." he said, walking off to his
room. Great. I had to room with Harry. I grabbed my duffel and
walked into the room, claiming the bed closest to the window.
There was a great view of the city below, and a glistening blue
pool in the courtyard of the hotel. I walked out in the hallway
to get a bottle of water, and saw Troy was still standing near
his room, typing away on his phone. Before I knew what I was
doing, I walked over to him.
"Hey." I said, smiling when he looked at me.
"Hey Harley. What's up?" he asked, putting away his
phone.
"Not much. Just getting some water." I answered. The
next thing I said, I said without thinking.
"Do you like swimming?" I asked, stupidly.
"Yeah, why?" he asked, giving me a questioning
look.
"The hotel pool's open. Wanna go for a swim?" I
asked flirtatiously.
"You're unpredictable." he said.
"What can I say? I like to have fun." I replied. I had
my flirting mode turned all the way on, and I didn't plan on
stopping.
"What are you waiting for?" he asked.
"Let me put on my suit." I said, and walked back to the
room to change. I rummaged through my bag before I found my
torquise bikini.
"Going somewhere?" Harry asked, walking out of the
bathroom. I didn't answer.
"Caught." he said, walking past me. I went into the
bathroom and changed, grabbing a towel and went to throw my
clothes in my duffel. When I walked out of the bathroom, Harry
was smirking at me.
"What?" I asked, confused.
"I never pictured you as the type of girl to break the
rules." he said.
"Yeah, well sometime people aren't what you expect them
to be." I said, walking out of the room. I met up with Troy,
and we took the elevator down to the swimming area. I dipped my
foot in, the cold water making me shiver.
"It's freezing!" I squealed, backing up.
"Come on, live on the edge!" Troy said, doing a
cannonball into the water, splashing my slightly.
"Give me your hand, Harley." he said quietly, coming up
to the edge of the pool.
"Why?" I said, but gave it to him anyway. Big mistake.
He pulled me into the pool, and I was immediately hit with a rush
of freezing water.
"Troy!" I screamed, but couldn't help laughing. He
pulled me close to him.
"You know, if you get really close to me, you won't be
as cold." he said, and those words melted my heart. This guy
was so sweet. He leaned down close to me, as if he was going to
kiss me. Right before he did, I spoke up.
"Race you to the other end." I whispered with a wink
and starting swimming as fast as I could to the other end of the
olympis sized pool. He followed slowly behind, and a few minutes
later we got out.
"That was so much fun!" I exclaimed, still feeling the
heat on my skin from when Troy held me.
"Yeah, it was." he said, doing an adorable half-smile
thing. I bit my lip and tried not to blush because of the way he
was looking at me. He walked me back to the room, and the lights
were out, so I suspected Harry had gone to bed for the
night.
"You're fearless, aren't you?" Troy asked me,
and I could tell he was about to kiss me.
"You could say so." I answered.
"Good night Harley." he said, leaning down to kiss my
cheek.
"Good night Troy." I said. I watched him walk down the
hallway, and waved when he looked back at me. I opened the door
to my hotel room and walked in as quietly as I could so I
didn't wake Harry. Just when I thought I was safe, I heard
his voice.
"So, you and Troy, huh?" he asked.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, playing
dumb.
"The door isn't soundproof, you know." he replied
nonchalantly.
"Are you hungry? I'm starving." I asked, trying to
change the subject.
"Yeah, I am." he answered, and I turned the light to
our room. We ordered room service and watched television for
another hour or so. We talked on and on, and I was getting used
to this best friend thing.
"Harley, if you're dating Troy, don't keep it a
secret." he said.
"Honestly Harry? First of all, I just met the guy today, I
barely know him. And secondly, my love life is none of your
business, so please stay out of it." I said, getting
annoyed. I had like Harry, but then he said we could only be
friends. So I'm trying to move on. But who am I kidding?
I'm falling hard for Harry and I know it.

AN UNEXPECTED LOVE
A One Direction Story
Chapter 11
We were about an hour into the ten hour bus ride, and I was
already bored. The tour manager walked on the bus when we stopped
for a break.
"In about a half an hour, your other opening act will be
joining you. He's staying on the other bus, but I told him to
join you guys for this ride so you can get to know each
other." he said.
"Alright, thank you." said the boys, not too excited,
probably because it was a guy they would be meeting, not a
girl.
"I'm going to get some food, anybody want to come?"
asked Niall. Louis and Liam got up and walked into the mini-mart
with him. Zayn was sleeping, and Harry stayed behind with
me.
"So are you excited?" he asked, for what seemed like
the hundredth time.
"I think so." I said honestly, convincing myself that I
had made the right choice.
"Well, I'm glad you decided to join the tour." he
said, gazing into my eyes. I tore my eyes away from his after a
few seconds, spotting a board game on one of the shelves of the
bus.
"Clue?" I asked, getting off the couch and grabbing the
game before he responded.
"Sure." he said, taking a seat across from me at the
coffee table. We were well into the game when the other three
finally came back, bags of food in their hands.
"It's about time!" Harry said as they walked in the
door.
"Food anyone?" they asked, digging into the bags of
chips, cookies, and crackers they had gotten.
"No thanks, I need to concentrate if I'm going to beat
Harry. And I am." I said, moving Professor Plum into the
ballroom.
"Green, ballroom, knife." I said, moving the weapon
across the board.
"I got nothing." he said, and I immediately knew the
confidential.
"I win!" I screamed, and threw my cards at
Harry.
"Not fair! You didn't even give me a chance to
guess!" he complained, starting to pick up the
game.
I heard rain start to tap on the glass windows.
"I hate rain!" I said, and walked over to my phone
which was on the couch.
THREE NEW MESSAGES
Mom: Having fun sweetie? Make sure to send pictures! Be safe.
Kelsey: Girl, I miss you! Make sure you come back and visit me!
Say hi to the boys for me(;
Kyle: Heard you're on tour! Rock the house! Stay young.
I smiled at the last text from my older brother and replied to
Kelsey and my mother. When the bus stopped again in another 45
minutes, the door opened and a guy that looked to be about 20 or
21 walked onto the bus. He was wearing a plain white tshirt and a
black leather jacket with jeans. His sandy brown hair was damp,
showing that he had just been out in the rain.
"Hey." he said, giving a small wave to the band and
me.
"Hi." I replied, shooting him a sweet smile.
"I'm Troy. And this is the famous One Direction!
Pleasure to meet you." he said, his adorable accent making
me melt as he spoke.
"I'm Harry, and this is Liam, Louis, and Niall.
Zayn's asleep in the back." Harry said, gesturing to the
room Zayn was resting in.
"And this pretty one?" he asked, his eyes landing on
me.
"Harley." I answered, my eyes staring deeply into his.
This guy was beautiful. I didn't mind spending the next few
months with him everyday.
"Harley. Nice to meet you." he said, extending his hand
for me to shake.
"Same to you." I said, returning the
handshake.
"So how old are you darling?" he asked.
"18, 19 next month. You?" I asked back.
"21, as of three months ago." he said, giving me a
wink. Gosh, he was adorable.
"There's an extra bed in the back if you two would like
to use it." Louis said, making me blush.
"Haha. Very funny." I replied, still embarassed. Out of
the corner of my eye, I saw Harry's face look angry. But why?
I decided to ignore it, and get to know Troy instead. I learned
that he was from Liverpool, and was a YouTube sensation, which
was how he landed the spot on tour with One Direction, kind of
like me. He had two younger sisters, one my age, and one
that's 16. He attented university for two years, then quit to
pursue his dreams in singing. And now here he was, on tour. Funny
how these things happen. He went back to his tour bus when the
next stop was, about fuor hours after he had first gotten on. We
still had about another three hours until we got to the hotel,
and I was extremely tired. I walked into the back room, which was
empty, and took my jeans and tshirt off, ready to change into
something comfortable and go to sleep. But with my luck, Harry
walked in while I was in the middle of changing. And he acted
like nothing happened. Two can play at that game.
"Harry, could you pass me my bag?" I asked innocently,
pointing to the zebra printed duffel in the corner of the room.
He grabbed it and walked over to me.
"Thank you." I said, tossing it on the bed I was going
to sleep in and going through it to find my shorts. I could still
feel Harry's presence there, and I turned around to see him
staring at me.
"What?" I snapped, sounding harsher than I meant
to.
"Nothing." he smirked, eyeing my up and down. I threw
on a tank top and my shorts, and grabbed my stuffed eeyore that
my grandma gave to me many years back before crawling under the
covers.
"Goodnight Harry." I said, shutting off the light on
the nightstand next to the bed.
"Goodnight Harley." he said, and as I turned off the
light, I could see him smiling wide. This guy was the king of
mixed signals, but lucky for me, I'm the queen.

"All done." said the man, handing me a mirror so I can
see how the art looked on my skin.
"Thanks." I said, in a bit of pain. I paid the guy and
had Harry take a picture of him with me, for proof for the
scavenger hunt. When we started walking back to the town square,
Harry told me that it was the two of us against the rest of the
boys.
"Four versus two? Why didn't you tell me that before I
got the tattoo?!" I asked incredulously. Harry just laughed
as we made our way to the meeting spot.
"Okay, so our total amount of points is 140." Harry
said, glancing at the list again.
"I hope we won!" I said, spotting the four
guys.
"Have fun?" they asked, eyeing the freshly painted
tattoo on my arm.
"Hardcore." Niall said, not believing that I had gotten
a tattoo.
"We have 150 points." Zayn said, and I knew we were
screwed.
"We only have 140. Give us a dare and if we do it, we
win." Harry said, obviously not wanting to lost this
scavenger hunt either.
"Okay...hmm. I dare you two to..." Louis started,
contemplating his options.
"Kiss." he finished, and I'm pretty sure my cheeks
went red. I turned to Harry, who also looked like he was
blushing.
"You really wanna win?" I asked, hoping he would say
yes.
"Absolutely." he said, staring into my eyes. I got lost
in his piercing green eyes, and before I knew it, we were
kissing. It wasn't long, but it was passionate. You
couldn't fake a kiss like that one. We pulled apart and the
guys stared at us like they couldn't believe what they had
just saw.
"Well for just friends you two seem to be good at
that." Liam said, making me laugh.
"I think we have our winners!" Louis said, high fiving
Harry and me.
"Way to go!" Harry said, giving my arm a
'congratulations' pat, that really hurt.
"Ow!" I said, wincing in pain.
"My goodness, I completely forgot. Are you alright
love?" Harry asked, making sure I was okay.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Walk me back to my dorm?" I
asked.
"Of course." he said, saying goodbye to his bandmates
and walking in sync with me.
"Tonight was a blast." I said, reliving the funny tasks
in my head.
"It really was." Harry said, keeping his eyes on the
ground.
"Is everything okay?" I asked, noticing that he had
seemed a bit distant since our 'kiss.'
"Yeah, I'm fine." he said, not removing his eyes
from his sneakers.
"Actually, no. I'm not. I'm
confused."
"About what?" I asked, wondering where he was going
with this.
"You said we're just friends. But that kiss..." he
said, trailing off.
"Harry, I know. It was a mistake." I said, as we walked
up to my dorm room.
"So the plans for tomorrow and the day after have changed,
because we leave for the tour tomorrow afternoon." he
said.
"Okay, what time?" I asked.
"We'll pick you up at around noon." he said,
pushing his curly hair to the side.
"Alrighty. I'll see you then." I said, as Harry
leaned in to give me a hug.
"Harley?" he asked after I had turned away.
"Yes Harry?" I asked.
"Let's be best friends." he said, starting to
smile.
"Absolutely!" I answered, feeling myself start to
smile. I waved goodbye to Harry and walked up to my room to
pack.
"Kels, I leave tomorrow at noon!" I said, starting to
get sad. I was going to miss London, and especially Kelsey. Even
though I had only known her for a few days, I felt like we had a
close bond. I started throwing clothes into my luggage, and
finally finished and went to sleep. When I woke up in the
morning, it was already 10:30. I showered, got dressed, and said
farewell to Kelsey and a few other friends before the tour bus
showed up.
"Harley, these next few months are going to be great!"
Niall said, jumping out of the bus and grabbing my luggage for
me.
"I sure hope so!" I said, laughing. Once everything was
ready to go, I hopped on the bus I would be sharing with the five
members of One Direction. As we exited London, I realized I was
making the right choice. And for the next few months, I could
live my life without a care in the world. Which is exactly what I
am going to do.

feedback please! once the tour starts, it will get better!

Chapter 9
"A scavenger hunt?" I asked, wondering if Harry was
joking right now.
"Come on! I know it sounds corny, but this is not a
child's scavenger hunt if you ask me." he said, a
mischevious look in his eyes.
"Okay, fine. Let me see the list." I said, grabbing the
piece of paper out of Harry's hands. I skimmed the tasks, my
eyes bulging at some of the things we had to do.
"Harry Styles, what are you thinking?" I asked, hoping
this was a joke.
"I was thinking that we would win." he said, and I
didn't know what he meant. He must have noticed, because he
went on to explain.
"Niall, Louis, Liam, and Zayn are all in on it. They're
with the girls right now getting ready. We start in five."
he said.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" I asked.
"Because I know you would have said no." he said, and
he was right. I wasn't going to let him know that
though.
"Well, are we going or not?" I asked,
walking.
"That's the spirit!" he said, falling in step next
to me.
"Okay, so you want to do the first task?" I asked,
re-reading the list.
"Take a picture with a stranger." he read, thinking
about it.
"Well, since I am a super-star, it's not so hard for me.
You do it." he decided.
"Which one?" I asked, once we had reached the town
square.
"That one." he said, pointing to a guy a few years
older than me who looked like he was about to propose to the girl
he was with.
"Harry, he's obviously going to ask her to marry him! I
can't do it now!" I exclaimed.
"You can if you want to live on the edge." he said,
smiling. I can't believe I'm doing this! Harry walked
over with the camera in his hand, as I tapped the guy on his
shoulder.
"Hi. Would you mind taking a picture with me?" I asked,
and he looked quite confused. I turned and smiled with a thumbs
up.
"Thank you! Oh, and congratulations, you two have a happy
life together." I said, running back to Harry.
"Oh my gosh, his face is priceless! We are SO going to win
this thing!" he said, high-fiving me.
"Now you have to get a strangers autograph." I said,
grabbing the camera from him and hanging him a sheet of paper and
a pen.
"Here goes nothing..." he said, walking off towards an
elderly woman. I couldn't help but laugh. He came back with a
huge smile on his face.
"Mission accomplished." he said, handing me the
signature.
"Well done." I said.
"Your turn." he said, getting that mysterious look in
his eyes and a sly smile on his face.
"What?" I asked, not wanting to hear what he was going
to say.
"This one's a good one." he said, which only made
me more nervous.
"Just tell me what it is!" I whined.
"Dance to the macarena on a table in a public place."
he read, bursting into a laughing fit at the end of his
sentence.
"Oh god." I said, not wanting to do this.
I stepped up onto a picnic table in the square, already getting
looks from people. Harry pulled out his iPod and blasted the
macarena. 1 maca, 2 maca, 3 macarena. This wasn't so bad.
Until the rest of One Direction showed up. They were never going
to let this go. So I decided to make everybody else join. I walke
over to a girl a few years younger than me and started dancing
right next to me. She joined in, as well as many other people.
The guys stood there cracking up. I got back on the table and
finished the dance in style. Once it ended, I jumped down and ran
over to the guys.
"Talking to the enemy?" I asked Harry, while throwing
my straight hair into a long ponytail.
"Let's go, it's your turn." I said, reading off
the next task.
"What do I have to do now?" he asked.
"Kiss a stranger." I read, trying to keep my face
emotionless, even though I knew I was jealous. Harry walked over
to a girl who looked to be about eight years old. She started
squealing when he walked over. She must be a fan. Harry smiled at
her, and gave her his autograph. Then, he knelt so he was at her
height and kissed her cheek. What a sweet guy!
"Okay, your next mission is to.....get a tattoo." he
said.
"Permanent?" I asked, hoping he would say no.
"Yes." he said, and it looked like he didn't think
I would do it.
"Where's the parlor?" I said, and spotted it a few
blocks away. We walked there, my nerves getting the best of me. I
can't believe I'm getting a tattoo.
"What do you want it to say?" asked the tattoo guy, who
looked scary but was actually nice.
"Well, I'm french, so how about amour?" I asked,
giving him the french word for love.
"Should be easy. You'll be outta here in about fifteen
minutes." he said, starting the process.
"Here love, squeeze my hand." Harry said, offering my
his palm. I felt bad for him, because he wouldn't be able to
feel it after.
"You really want to win this, don't you?" he
asked.
"Oh yeah." I answered, determination on my face.

AN UNEXPECTED LOVE
A One Direction Story
Chapter 8
Dinner with Austin that night was interesting to say the least.
Turns out the Italian restaurant in downtown London is
Niall's favorite place to eat. Austin and I were enjoying a
nice dinner, catching up on things we had missed in the past
year. I heard the main door open and saw five very familiar
looking guys. One Direction. I quickly turned away, hoping they
wouldn't notice me. But Austin recognized Harry from the dorm
a few hours earlier.
"Isn't that your friend? Harry, was it?" Austin
asked, standing up.
"Austin, sit down!" I said.
"Harry! Over here!" Austin called. Well, this was about
to get awkward.
"Well, if it isn't the two lovebirds." Harry said
when he reached us. He looked irritated that Austin and I were
together. But why?
"What are you boys doing here?" I asked, wondering what
the chances were of them stumbling upon the same restaurant that
Austin and I were at.
"Eating, obviously." said Niall, taking a seat next to
Austin.
"Make yourself comfortable." I said, even though the
boys already had. Harry suqeezed in next to me, Louis on the
other side of him. Zayn and Niall had squished in the booth that
Austin was in. Harry's hand brushed against mine, and I felt
myself getting red. Everybody made an effort in talking to
Austin. I had explained to them that he was going to university
here as well.
"That's adorable! You came here to be with him?"
Louis asked.
"Oh god no." I said, giving Louis a 'drop the
subject' look. Harry thought my answer was pretty funny, but
Austin seemed hurt.
"I didn't mean it like that. Austin and I are still
friends, just not together." I said. Austin was quiet for
the rest of dinner.
"I have to get running, it was great to see you again
Harley." he said after he finished his meal. I didn't
think anything of his abrupt exit, until I realized
something.
"He didn't pay! That's why he left!" I said,
starting to laugh. The boys got a kick out of that.
"Seems like he didn't really want to hang out with you
again, he just wanted a free meal." Harry said. Well, that
kind of hurt. Why was Harry being so moody tonight?
"Hey guys, I'm going to catch up with Nicole. See you
later!" Louis said, walking out of the restaurant.
"I guess it's girlfriend night. I'm going to hang
out with Noelle. I'll see you guys back at the hotel. Bye
Harley!" Zayn said.
"I should probably go see how Anika's doing." Liam
said, excusing himself from dinner.
"See you tomorrow Harley!" he said, waving
goodbye.
"Maybe I'll go see what Lauren's up to. Haven't
hung out with her in a while."
"I would go out with Kendra tonight, but she's no longer
in the picture. You busy tonight?" Harry asked me.
"Not anymore." I said, wondering what Harry had in
mind.
"Good. You thought today was fun, wait until you see what
we're doing tonight." he said, throwing money on the
table and walking out. I followed him, not sure what to
expect.
