Emma's POV

A week later

"Will you ever wake up, Emmy?!" Sophia screamed in my ear.

"Shut up! You know I couldn't sleep last night!" I told her, covering my ears with my pillow and turning away from her. I could easily imagine her rolling her eyes now.

"Think of something else, you've given me that excuse for a hundred years now" Sophia said. The whole morning, she'd been sitting on my stomach and shaking my shoulders to wake me up. But did I wake up? Obviously not! It's literally 6 AM right now; she's been trying to wake me up since 5.

Another reason about why Sophia differs from me: She is a morning bird and I am a night owl. She wakes up super early every morning and expects a person who barely slept for 8 hours to wake up with her. But after all, she's the best bestfriend out of all the bestfriends.

Not the point.

The point is, that even though I've used this excuse a lot, I seriously haven't slept a wink last night, if you don't count the 20 minutes I slept where I dreamt of Harry, again... To be honest, I don't know why I dreamt of Harry. I've read somewhere that if you dream of someone, it means they're thinking about you. Would Harry be thinki-

No, we're going off the topic again! And Harry couldn't be thinking of me, why would he?! And I don't want him to either! He is Harry. Just Harry. My new friend Harry. JUST HARRY.

In the past week, all five of us (Harry, Louis, Niall, Liam and me) have grown pretty close. I introduced them to Sophia and I'm pretty sure they all liked each other. We spent almost all the week together, practising all our songs together, eating together, hanging out at each other's hotel rooms... We had a lot of fun, honestly.

"Emma! This is the last time I am waking you up today! Wake up now or right before lunch" Sophia warned me.

"Fine, wake me up at lunch." I said burying my head in my pillow and pulling my covers back on.

"If I wake you up at lunch, you'll miss the breakfast tacos in the canteen today" Sophia tried to tempt me. Why was she even trying... She does talk some shit. We just had breakfast tacos yesterday, they won't make them again in just one day.

"Ugh, let me sleep!" I said, pushing her hand away from my shoulder.

"Fine, wake up whenever you want, I'm going for a gym upstairs." Sophia said, finally giving up. She packed whatever stuff she needed to go to the gym. Honestly, its 6 AM, is it even legal to go to the gym this early? But I don't really care, at least she's letting me sleep.

By now I was completely awake, but my lazy self prevented me from getting up from the comfy bed. I layed on the bed on my stomach, hands beneath my pillow, one of my legs almost reaching the edge of the bed and the covers now covering only a few parts of me.

I reached out for my phone to check if I'd received some late night texts. Turns out, I did receive two. They were from an unknown number and Niall.

"Unknown (00:05 AM): Hey, this is Louis. I got your number from Niall, is it okay?"

"Emma (6:25 AM): It's totally fine! Great, in fact. I was just thinking about getting your number today, haha."

I saved Louis' number as "Tommo" in my contacts and went back to Louis' chat to see if I'd saved it properly.

After I checked it, I exited Louis' chat and opened Niall's.

"Niall (01:42 AM): Hi Emma, just wondering if you're up.. I can't sleep, actually 😅"

"Emma (6:32 AM): I'm sorry, I was sleeping when you texted 😅 But I'm up now, and you probably aren't so text me whenever you're up, if you want, that is😁"
