Niall stood up as soon as his alarm went off. He almost jumped out of his bed, which was very extraordinary. Most mornings Niall just slept in, didn't even move a muscle at the sound of his alarm. But not today, because today was the first day of Niall's 'New Life', as he liked to call it.

Because today, Niall James Horan was going to move to a place to live on his own.

Of course, he really loved his parents, but doesn't everyone want to live on his own? Parents nag at you every minute of the date, complain about your presence to other people, but when you're not there they keep calling you asking when you're gonna come home, whether you brought an umbrella because it is probably going to rain, whether you could go to the supermarket on your way back to buy some minced meat...

Parents just sucked.

And Niall wanted nothing more than to get away from them.

He took a shower and combed his hair, something he only did on exceptional occasions. Today was not just a day, it was the day. And Niall wanted to make the best out of it

Unfortunately, Niall couldn't call his new flat entirely his own. If you haven't been living under a rock these past years, you might have noticed that the prices of houses are only going up. And no matter how much Niall wanted a place for himself only, he just couldn't afford it. And if there was one thing in this world that Niall did not want to do, then it would be lending money from his parents. They would just go on about how he shouldn't leave them, and how it'd be less expensive to just stay at theirs. But Niall did not want that.

And because it had not really looked like a good idea to go to a bank, he had started searching for a roommate.

He had first hired an apartment for a month or something, a beautiful one, with view at a local park, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a living/dining room. Just big enough for two persons.

At first, he had placed a description of his flat and the question to find a suitable roomie on Facebook, but then he had found out that there were special sites for that.

Only five minutes after he had placed the announcement, he had gotten tons of reactions. He had looked at all those people's profiles one by one, and he had chosen a top ten.

There were few people whom he had thrown out of his top ten pretty fast. Some boy with purple hair and piercings, whom he wouldn't have been comfortable with anyway.

Some guy called Nick had been in his top three, but then Niall had stalked his Facebook profile and he had found out that the guy liked posting nudes.

Bye bye Nick.

Eventually, only one guy had lasted.

Harry Edward Styles. Harry wasn't really active on social media accounts so Niall didn't know a lot about him, actually. He just knew that the boy had brown curls, green eyes and a beautiful smile.

And he knew that Harry would pay his rent every month, because he had promised that. That was all Niall had needed to know.

Niall went over the plans in his head once again. They were going to meet up in a coffee shop, and then they were going to take a look at the apartment. If Harry liked it, he would sign the contract as soon as possible.

Simple. He shouldn't forget.

They had told each other to be there at nine o'clock in the morning, but Niall had decided he wanted to be there by a quarter to nine. He didn't want Harry walking in earlier than him, so that he'd think Niall wasn't a punctual guy.
