Um, hi.

Hayes's POV.

I didn't see Daniella at school today. Meh, Oh well she probably skipped or something. Kids do that all the time.

But for some reason, I kinda wished she was there. You know, so I could talk to her. What about, I don't know. But I just wanted her with me.

I asked one of her friends, Lexi, if she knew where she possibly was after school.

"Oh yeah she stayed home."

"What, Why?"

"Because her parents thought she was sick or something and made her stay home. She texted me this morning."

"Oh. Well thanks Lexi!"

"Uh-huh! Anytime. OH WAIT!!"

I turned back around.

"I almost forgot-"

She leaned close so only I could hear.

"She's home ALONE..." She whispered nudging me with her elbow.

"Oh shut up." I pushed her and she laughed.

"K bye Hayes."

"See ya!"

I had known Lexi since second grade. She knew me the longest and was always my friend, but never really close. I mean CLOSE close, like Nash and his friends. She never took advantage of me when I became famous. She stayed the same and I could always count on her for stuff like advice, homework help, girl trouble..

Sorry. Forget that last one.

Anyways, I knew that Daniella had lived in my neighborhood because I saw the moving truck a couple streets down from my house. Carter said he knew the kid who lived there before because he would always go on his phone and sit on his dad's pick-up truck.

So, I decided to pay her a visit. After all, she WAS alone, right?

*******

I hear the door open and see Daniella in pajamas with "1D" written all over them.

"Oh! um, hi."
