A/N: Hiii Thanks for reading Chapter 1 of Superstar!! I want to give you a song to listen to for each chapter so this one will be Enchanted by Taylor Swift. I'm a huge Swiftie if you couldn't tell lol.
I walk down the stone streets wide-eyed. I've never been to London before, this is all surreal. Everything is so much more colorful and alive than it is in America.
I find the school pretty easily. It's a huge building with the school sign on it.
I take a deep breath, looking at my reflection in the glass door, and run my fingers through my long dirty blonde hair.
I have to make a good impression. I have to make friends this time. I can't be the weird loner girl forever, and I cannot be Noah's little sister anymore.
I walk straight in and to the office where an old British lady is behind the desk.
"Hey, I'm Bailey Atkins I'm a foreign exchange student from America," I say with a polite smile.
"Oh yes your guide is here in the office let me just go get him," she says, in a posh British accent.
She comes back with a boy with blonde dyed hair and blue eyes following close behind.
"Hey I'm Niall you must be Bailey?" he says, with an Irish accent and a smile, sticking his hand out for me to shake.
"That's me," I say, returning the smile (this time a genuine one) and shaking his hand.
"You're from America right?" he asks.
"Yeah, and you must be from Ireland," I say and he laughs which makes me laugh too. There's something about that laugh that's almost... magical? Like I could listen to him laugh for hours and never get bored.
"I am," he says, proudly. "Ya like meh accent all the girls love meh accent," he says, wiggling his eyebrows and making his accent thicker.
"Sure Niall," I chuckle, walking down the hall because he doesn't really seem to be showing me around like he's supposed to.
"Would you rather me be Bri-ish," he says, this time with a terrible fake British accent, walking beside me.
I laugh but before I can respond a boy with brown hair and stubble calls Niall's name.
"Niall! Band practice at my place after school, don't forget," this unknown boy says, giving Niall a high five.
"I won't Payno," Niall says.
"You forgot last time," the boy says, raising his eyebrows at him.
"I won't this time Liam, I promise," he says.
"Alright, I'll text you to remind you anyway," Liam says before rushing off to his next class. I don't think he registered I was there he was in such a rush.
"You're in a band?" I ask, a little surprised.
"Yeah I guess, it's not a big thing yet but we have a name! 'One Direction'," his eyes light up as he talks about it. I can already tell that this is something he really likes doing.
"'One Direction' huh. That has a nice ring to it," I say with a half-smile.
"Yeah, it was Harry's idea. He said it was because 'we would never go in different directions' because he's cheesy like that," he says and I chuckle.
We walk down the hall and I stare at my shoes and think. Niall seems cool, and honestly pretty cute. Maybe he'll want to hang out with me... you know as friends.
"You should sit with us at lunch! I'm sure they'd like you and that way you'd have someone to sit with since you probably don't know a lot of people here," he says stopping in front of a class so I stop with him.

Fanfiction"Hey!" I say turning back towards him. He looks back expectantly. "Today was really fun thanks Ni! I'll see you tomorrow," I say grinning goofily. "Can't wait," he says, grinning too. I spin on my heels and go inside. As I lay my head down on my pi...
