Sophiam

Chapter 3

We drive in to a VIP car park and park the car in an open space.

"You ready for this liam." Harry says as he shuts the door.

"Let's do this." I say

We walk into the main door. The guard doesn't bother looking as he knows I frequently come here. I look around and all I see are quick flashes and light and people shouting to both of us to turn to cameras, but I completely ignore them and head it. As we head in, I hear the music gradually getting louder and louder and turn a left to see all the lights and people dancing and drinking.

"You kidding me!" Harry says,

I quickly turn back to him to see him with a worried look on his face while his hands move around his tight jeans.

"I think I forgot my phone at the hotel. I'll be back in 20 minute." Harry says turning and leaving out the two big main doors.

I turn back, look around and then see a few of my mates walking to the bar. I start to walk faster and call out their names, hoping they would hear me over the booming music. Luckily, they turn around and see me.

"Ayyyyyyy, Liam! It's nice seeing you here, thought you weren't coming." One of them say.

"Yea, me and the lads just finished our last show for out world tour, so me and Harry though we might want to have some fun. Haha" I say.

I then turn around and follow them to the bar. We all stand there and each of us ask for a drink. After a few minutes of laughing and taking, we get our drinks and sit on a curved, padded sofa. It has been 20 minutes and start to question myself as to my Harry isn't coming, but get to carried away talking to the guys.

I head on my phone and see I got a message from Danielle,

Hey babe, I'm sorry with last time and hope your not to sad, but I feel like everything is clashing with each other as we both have jobs to do and places to go. I hope your alright x

I start to get memories for what happened and don't bother answering. I go on my camera and take a video,

"Me with the lads, whooooooooowww." I say moving the camera around. I then stop the video and put the phone back in my pocket.

I take a sip from my drink as I walk around the nightclub. I decide to head to the dance floor as it has been 40 minutes since I was here and haven't gone once. One of my mates walked up from behind and we both get to the dance floor.

I get my groove on and laugh with people as I see a few cameras taking photos of the moment.

As I turn my head, I could see a familiar figure in the distance, very familiar. I keep staring until I can realise who that person was, then, in a split of a second I could see the person and realised who they were. Sophia, a girl that went to St. Peter's Collegiate School with me. I could still remember her face and get flashbacks of her running in the school and hanging out with her friends. I get curious, thinking that she lives in London and coincidently we both are in the same place. I tell the guys I'll be right back and squeeze through people until I get to her. I don't stand to close to her, as she might no remember me, but I call her name and to my surprise, she answers.

"Hey, sophia! Do you remember me?" I say as she turns away from her friends to see me calling her.

"Um, hello, are you.......wait.....Oh my god...liam!" She says, starting to realise who I was.

"Hey soph. So you live in London now." I say trying to bring up a conversation with her.

She was a year younger than me, but we were both in the same year at school. I found her different from the other girls at school and having no clear experience on how to ask a girl out, I asked her 22 times until I finally stopped. Seeing her again was like some kind of miracle, like some special force got me to see her today. I keep staring at her as she spoke, then back to my friends, hoping they haven't left.

"No i don't, I'm just on my break from Uni." She said while holing champagne in her hand and slowing drinking it very one in a while.

I start to talk to her about memories from when we went to school together and the silly things I would do to get her attention. We both keep talking and dancing for hours, her friends keep looking at us and gossip and me knowing that it was about us. She would always look at me with a tight smile on her face as I was fixed on her eyes.

Does she now like me after all those years or does she know about what I do for a living. I quickly leave all the thoughts that were circling my head, look down and see Sophia's hand on mine. I quickly look up to her and she gestures me to go and sit down. So still holing her hand, we both shuffle through everyone on the dance floor and make it to an empty couch.

We talk and talk and she laughs at all the things I say. I see my mates coming over and all sit on the curved couch, me and sophia both sitting in the centre of all of them.

"Mate, you left us at the bar. Are you.......oh....whose the girl ayyyy." Say josh, nudging me on my arm.

"It's nothing at all, just catching up with an old friend. You don't need to act like that now."

"Okay...nice...nice, well me and the boys are going head to the to the bar." Josh says leaving and everyone else following behind him.

I look back at sophia, she places her hands on the table.

"Hey Liam, remember how in primary school I was really stupid and didn't really treat you.....yea...you know." She mumble. I didn't hear her exactly and get my face closer to hers.

"Um well.....that's long gone, should you really think about it now. Were both grown people that should for get about past experiences with eachother." I say, leaving a small smirk on my face, hoping she doesn't think about it the wrong way.

Sophia smiles at the ground and looks back up at me, taking out her phone.

"Listen Liam, it has been a cool and wonderful time meeting you and I'd like to see you again-"

"Do you want my number." I say smiling as I get my phone.

Sophia is there and holding her phone in her hand and I get out mine. This was a phone I got recently, so it came with a new number also. I scroll through my contacts trying to find my number and then scroll through 'Danniellle'. I pause for a moment and my smile drifts away. Sophia patiently waits with the phone in her hand. I waste no time and just scroll past Danielle's contact and find mine.

"I found it now, okay so it's *** ** **** ****." I say as sophia taps all the digits.

"Thanks Liam." She says, then reaching in for a hug.

She gets up from the couch and looks at her phone.

"Sorry Liam, I have to go now, it's gotten really late, sidetracked from all the taking and have such a good night with you."

"I could give you a ride back.....wait....shit! I came here with Harry and I have no car now."

How am I going to get home now. First thing, where is Harry, he has left me here.....wait, at least I've got sophia. She now has my number and says she had a great night with me.....nah! She doesn't like me like that does she.....

"Well either way, we were both drinking, so non of us can go home driving." She say.

Good point.
