Waking up the next day was hard. 6 am was just way too early. But I somehow managed to get up, eat, wash myself and catch my bus. When I arrived at school, I didn't notice anyone behaving weird around me. I was relieved. It seemed that no one had heard about the concert, or at least no one recognized me. As always I greeted my friends, and we talked a bit before the lessons started. First subject for me today was Latin. I liked it, though almost everyone I knew thought I was crazy because of this. Everything was very relaxed until the first break. When I walked out of the building some girls, I think 7th or 8th graders looked at me with wide eyes. I ignored them, hoping I misinterpreted their glances.
Outside I promptly met Lucy and Tara. Tara seemed to burst from questions. I had to smile but hoped, that she wouldn't ask me loudly about Harry in front of the whole school. Luckily she could restrain herself and just questioned me whispering about everything. So I told the whole story again.
The break was soon over, and i made my way to my math class. I noticed, that some more people were staring at me, murmuring. Dammit, I really had hoped I would go unnoticed. I decided to ignore them, but put my phone deep into my bag, just in case. The Murmurs accompanied me for the rest of the day. In the beginning, the people only watched me, but after the 6th lesson I saw some girls following me. What was going on in their minds? I was still just a normal student who would like to concentrate on the school stuff. Guess I just had to live with it. If I talked to them about it, they would definitely know, that I was the one, who they thought I was. If I didn't, I hoped they would give up someday, thinking they were wrong about me. I had the last lessons of the day together with Tara, and told her about it. We had to laugh, declaring these students crazy.
But the next few days, more and more kids followed me around, even some of which I thought they had to be a grade above me. It got really annoying. Eventually even some teachers noticed it, and asked me, why suddenly so many people were around me, watching me. I told them, I didn't know why. I didn't want to explain this situation. When I told Harry about it, he seemed to be both amused and worrying. We then complained to each other about annoying fans. He obviously had more stories to tell then me. Some of them were quite disturbing actually. But we didn't chat much, maybe once every three weeks, and if we did, Harry started it. I only wished them good luck before every show, I wasn't brave enough to start a conversation. As alway I was scared to be annoying, even though I knew Harry wouldn't feel this way. I think many people can relate to this feeling
Luckily the holidays began three weeks later. I had some really good six weeks. Relaxing, being at the barn, going on vacation for two weeks, and meeting my friends. Most of them knew by now the story, but kept it to themselves. Apart of them I had only told my sister, my parents and my cousin Lia. I phoned her after that first day of school past the concert. She wasn't really a big fan, she liked some songs, that was all (I had tried to change that for a long while now, but nothing seemed to help. Still, I wouldn't give up). But Lia was like my second sister, so I had told her. At first she couldn't believe it, and almost went crazy. I mean, if this whole story happened to someone I knew, I'd react the same, even if I wasn't a fan. After the first shock she asked me about every detail, and I told everything again for the 4th or 5th time. It had seemed crazier everytime I talked about it.
By now I had accepted the fact, that I was something like a friend to Harry Styles, but still didn't text much with him, I still couldn't bring up the courage. At least he did when he had time, so I knew things about the shows and their private life first-handed, like their thoughts about the fanproject in Milan (though that was already before we even met), or the wedding of Johannah, Louis' mom. But we never talked about relationships, I guess we didn't know each other well enough for that. Although I would have had some questions about him and Louis. I was, like many other fans, 100% convinced that something was between them. However, my opinion was that this was his personal stuff, and I had no business asking about it, so I never brought up the topic.
Lucy, Sybil and Tara slowly got used to me having the phone number of one of our idols, too. Life just moved on, and as important and sensational my encounter with the boys had seemed to be, it just became normal to me. I didn't really think this much about it anymore. Don't get me wrong, I still thought it was insane, but I couldn't keep it in mind the whole time, I still had other things in my life as well. So I got somehow used to it.
The time went by, soon it was August, then September, then the holidays ended. Fortunately the fans at my school seemed to understand that they wouldn't get a word from me, and gave up. During the first weeks of school I already had much to do. I still sent Harry my good luck messages before they had a show, but we texted even lesser. In the whole 6 weeks 'til the autumn holidays we had only one longer chat. But then I decided to go to one party in October, without having any idea how all that would change now.
A/N:
Ta-da! Another cliffhanger. But I'm pretty sure you can figure out what's going to happen next. How do you like this chapter? I had a pretty hard time describing the few events during this long time period hence this chapter is a little shorter then the first three. Hope you don't mind, I hopefully promise, that the next one I'd going to be longer again.
I also want to thank you for all your comments. Really, I smile like an idiot when I read them. ThanksEdit: I corrected just some spelling/grammar mistakes again.

FanfictionHey everyone. This is my first story here, so it's probably terribly written, so sorry about that in advance. It's about One Direction (what a surprise), but not the kind of fanfic you usually see: -It is not a romance, not even as a subplot, so no...
