It Started With A DM ~ A Harry Styles Fan Fiction

CHAPTER 2 : The Reply

You see, Arthy, Ash and I have been besties since the first day we moved in. We met at the playground, all three of us, and immediately clicked off. So, what my best friends are like, you ask? Let's see...

Arthy. Arthur Stone. Nicknames : Arthy, Artz, Stoney, Ruth (opposite of Thur! Geddit?) and anything that spontaneously comes up. A very smart, handsome British guy, with a little, teeny tiny crack in his head. Has a crazy (and sick) obsession with reptiles, I honestly don't know why! And as straight as a sphere. He came out to Ash and me when we were fourteen, and on constant nagging, to the world when we were nineteen. He had had just one official relationship with a guy earlier, which didn't last, but he definitely knows his priorities and interests. He was always on top of our class with grades : 4.5 GPA! He was going to attend The Master Herpetologist Programme in the Amphibian Foundation, Atlanta this summer. He could either be extremely introverted, or highly outgoing.

Ash. Ashley Parker. Nicknames: Ash, Ashie, Lee, Perky, and as I said earlier, anything spontaneous. Also of a British origin, but have been in the US for the last 2 generations. A very sweet, pretty girl, with deep brown hair, that complemented her rosy cheeks and button nose perfectly. She had a few freckles scattered here n there, but overall she was perfect. She was also a crazy young lady, with the love for Medical Science. She wanted to become a doctor and was working in a restaurant to gather her fees for the Tuoro College of Osteopathic Medicine. Extremely extroverted, but a bit shy at first. A little depressed over her ex-boyfriend breaking her heart, but has a (not so) secret crush on my big brother, Vikram.

That brings us to the next character of my story.

My brother, Vikram. Vikram Kapoor. Nicknames: Vikky, Viks, V, VK, and, ya, you know it already... "spontaneous"! Just one year elder than me. People think he is a womaniser, but he is not. He has a huge heart and is a big softie. An amazing basketball player since school; plays the guitar really well. He currently plays the guitar in the restaurant where Ash works, with their local band. He and I have a very unique and special relationship. We can fight and not talk to each other for six days straight, but as the seventh day arrives, it feels like we never really fought at all. He told me everything about his love life, games, classes and thoughts about the future, and I tell him everything about mine. We are each other's secret diaries. I mean, he knows secrets that even Ash and Artz do not know about. So, ya...

The most important person in my life is Harry, Harry Styles. In short, I love him. I can talk about him for days and days, but you will be bored, so ya... I have known about him since I was fifteen, and he was sixteen, since the X-Factor UK, 2010. I have never been able to see him live, because the one time I bought tickets out of my year-long savings, I broke my leg and was in the hospital, and the other time when my Dad surprised me for my birthday with the tickets for my besties and I, my school gave me detention for going to the toilet. So, that's my life's motto: TO MEET HARRY STYLES.

I wasn't really THAT big of a Harry Styles lover. I was always a Niall-girl. But slowly, I fell in love with him. Although people say a lot of rude things about him, I love him. As I said, I fell for him!

Aarushi Kapoor, well that's me. I am going to turn 26 in a month. I am a Wattpader, writing stories and poems. Don't tell anyone, but I secretly compose music too. I have a huge dream: to perform in a Broadway musical, to my self-composed music. I have trained myself my whole life, and now I am training young little girls to do so too, waiting for the right moment to audition. Hopefully, 2021 won't disappoint me, and I will finally be able to get my dream job, along with my dream man. I am an extrovert, through and through. One Direction makes me smile, and
Harry Styles makes me cry.

My life was very simple and going on as it always did. It had been a week since the sleepover and we have all been busy with our lives. After a tiring day at the studio, teaching my students to pirouette, I decided to retire to bed early and binge watch some Netflix. With a cup of hot chocolate, filled with marshmallows, in hand, I resumed the Season 3 Episode 16 of F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

While Ross frantically ran around trying to cover up the trail leading to his and Chloe's tryst before Rachel arrived, there was a ding, and my phone buzzed. An Instagram notification, I thought, oh, a dm!

The scream that escaped my throat was deafening, because, of course, I would scream.

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

harrystyles: I would if the Sun doesn't rise in the West!

So, Aarushi is basically me, with a few things that I wish I was...
Arthur is basically a character made by me, with certain qualities taken from a friend of mine.
But, Ashley is completely based on my real best friend.. She is the bestest person ever, nd I love her so much... She is not on Wattpad, or I would have tagged her here...(edit 1: PRERANAMITRA she joined!!!) Anyways, hope u r liking my fic so far! Vote and comment, nd do share with directioners...
