The sound of the school bell echoed through my impatient ears. I hurriedly shoved all of my exercise books and writing instruments into my bag, not giving a care how messy my rucksack looked in the inside. I got up from my seat and power walked my way out of the lifeless classroom. Ever since Zayn asked me if I wanted to hang around, everything around me seemed boring and dreary. The things I’d normally enjoy, I now found mind-numbing. I was excited to say the least. But I had no idea why I was so excited. To me, One Direction is just a group consisting of five young men who all share an equal passion towards music and performing. Honestly, I didn’t what the fuss was all about. They were just ordinary teenagers. Actually, I’m lying. I don’t actually know them well enough for me to judge if they’re ordinary or not since I barely know any of them apart from Zayn who I have been texting quite frequently.

I’ve only properly met them once and that was on Saturday and we barely did any talking since we mainly ate Nando’s instead of getting to know each other a little bit better. Although, I have talked to the guys on Skype and they do sound like pretty decent guys.

I felt suspicious and anxious as to why the guys wanted to see me again. I understand why they would want to see Hayley and Tyler. I mean, Hayley’s the fun, hyper girl and Tyler is the strong-minded, talented photographer. What about me? I’m just a wannabe model. Without Tyler, I probably wouldn’t even have a chance of being a model. I’m not unique. Nowhere near as talented as some and definitely not as important as most. I’m simply ordinary.

I walked to my locker to drop off my heavy books. Sometimes when I think too much, my body just goes to a depressive state where everything around me depresses me. Especially when I would think about emotional things such as the future or my current relationship with people. 

I dragged my lifeless body across the busy hallways, trying to avoid bumping into students who were late for their next lessons. I glanced at the boy who was standing in front of my locker; Jordan.

“Hey, what are you doing here?” I questioned him, furrowing my eyebrows at his sudden appearance. I eyed him up carefully and realised that he was acting strange. His hands were deep in his pockets, his eyes focussed on the floor and his lower lip being busily chewed on by his front teeth.

“Erm…I don’t actually know. I thought I’d go say hi to you but I forgot that you just wanted to be friends…so, I guess I’ll leave you now”, he answered; throughout his whole answer he refused to look at me. He slowly walked away, his footsteps heavy and slow.

I grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him into me, enveloping him with my arms into a warm embrace. I pulled him closer towards me but making sure that it wouldn’t turn into one of our intimate hugs. We were friends and only friends. Hugging him like how I used to would just ruin everything. I pulled him closer to me, an acceptable space between us. He was now bent forward, his face close to mine.

“Jordan, we are friends! So why are you acting all weird with me?” I whispered to his ear, smiling at how amazing he smelled. I felt him slightly tense his body and he squirmed a little bit. Did he not want to hug?

“Friends can hug too you know!” I added, hoping that it would make things more comfortable between us but unfortunately, it didn’t offer any help whatsoever.
