It Started With A DM ~ A Harry Styles Fan Fiction

CHAPTER 1 : The Dare

My friends and I had a tradition. We always had a sleepover on the last Friday of every month. Today was no different. My two besties, Arthur and Ashley, had come over to mine, and we were watching Work It on Netflix. Arthur, or Arthy as we called him, had his eyes concentrated on the screen of my laptop. Jordan Fisher, his all-time crush, was dancing on-screen.

"Oh stop it, Artz. You are visibly drooling all over that guy. He is not even that handsome," Ashley, or rather Ash, groaned with disgust.

"Are you crazy, Lee? He is THE most handsome guy to walk on this planet, like EVER!!!!!"

"Oh, shut it, you melodramatic piece of sh*t," I immediately retorted with a scoff. "I mean, firstly, THE most handsome man in the world is Harry Styles, okk? Besides, you do realise that we are having our compulsory sleep over after EIGHT WHOLE MONTHS, don't you?"

"Exactly," Ash switched off my laptop and spoke, "I mean, we have NEVER been away from each other for so damn long, since we were ten and Ru moved in here."

Ru, thats me. Full name: Aarushi Kapoor. My Dad's a business man, and had to travel half way 'round the globe to the US, and since then, my family and I have been living a Western life, for the last fifteen years. Well, not really. I was a little over 10 when we moved in, and now, I am a month away from being 26! Yayyy! Exciting? Nah! Not for me. It will be the same old me, with my same old dreams to become a Broadway star in a musical, with the same old desires to meet THE HARRY STYLES, because I love him, more than anything, in the whole universe...

Moving on...

"So, what do you ladies suppose we should do?" Arthy said with a fake sigh. That drama queen! He had a smirk, handsomely planted on his face, and a small spark in his eyes, that could light up the whole room.

Truth and dare, I thought.

"Let's play Truth and dare, please?" Ash voiced my thoughts. "Please Artz. Pretty please?" She made her best puppy dog eyes and pouty face. Immediately, I joined her.

That way, convincing Artz to play Truth and Dare wasn't that hard. After a few rounds of only reliving the truths about each other that we already knew, and a few glasses of beer, the empty beer bottle pointed towards me. Again!

"Hmm... Umm, dare..."

"Oooh, Ru is pulling up her big-girl pants... Ok, let's see.. What should we make her do, Ashie?"

"Oh, I know just the right thing. Take out your phone, open Instagram, and send a dm to You-Know-Who and ask him out on a date."

"Wait, you mean, she is gonna ask out Lord Voldemort for a date?" Artz whispered, as if there were death eaters around.

"No, you idiot. I am talking about her Harry Styles," Ash mocked me.

I didn't give them a chance to say anything, as I pulled out my phone with a smirk, and quickly sent Harry Styles the first pick up line I could think of.

"Done."

The two pairs of eyes that looked up at me turned from mischievous to shocked.

"You did?"  "Wow, I'm proud of you!"

"But, hey, I want proof, so show me."

As I handed over my phone to Ash, I saw the evident shock and surprise in both of their faces.

ME: Go on a date with me if I am wrong, but the Sun is not a star, r8?
