Over a Cup of Tea (Harry Styles)

Chapter 1

"Hal are you ready yet? Our mums want to get us to the airport EXTRA early haha"

"Yeah I am let me just grab my carry on."

Haley a I have been best friends for a while now, we'll when I say best friends I mean more like soul sisters. I have my thee best friend Bridgette who lives in the same city as I do, but Haley here lives over in Montana, while I live in Washington state. Haley and I met when we were in children's hospital a few years ago. I had a brain tumor an Haley has a tumor in her shoulder, we met in physical therapy and have been best friends ever sense.

"Haley!!!! Claire!!!! You two get your butts down here or else you two aren't going to get through security with time to spare!" Darcy, Haley's mum yells into the other room that we are in. We spent the night in a 2 room, hotel room last night, because my house is 2 hours away from the Seattle-Tacoma airport. Haley and I grab our bags and run down to the shuttle that will be taking us to the airport. It's about a 5 minute drive from our hotel to the airport, we just sit and talk to our mums about calling as much as we can. We arrive shortly to the air port, our mums help us into the airpot and say our goodbyes and onto security we go.

Haley and I only have to wait ten minutes to get through security. After that we get some Starbucks and wait by our gate.

"I wonder if there are going to be any cute boys..." Haley says with a cheeky grin.

"Odds are there are, because all the not cute guys live in our towns..."

"Hahahaha yeah you're absolutely right!"

'Calling all passengers to gate F2. Now boarding'

We get up and head to the plane. Once we are in our seats we get out our laptops, plug in some music, and just chill, it's going to be a long 9 hours.

We land in London 9 hours later. Luckily we got to get some sleep so we weren't completely exhausted. We exit the plane and head to get our shipped bags.

"Ok Haley I just called us a taxi and it should be here shortly and we will get to go to our new apartment!"

"I'm super exited! I can't believe we found such a nice place for not a lot of money!"

"I know! - oh Haley there is our taxi come on!"

It takes us about 15 minutes from the airport to our new home which is in down town London. We arrive at our apartment and get our luggage out of the boot. We walk up to our door and I pull out my key and enter the house.

Our place was GORGEOUS. I mean seriously, it was better than we thought. The kitchen was to our right and nice and open and connected to the dinning room. To our left was the living room, that also was rather large. Straight ahead was the stair case, directly right of that was a small hallway which included a full bathroom and a door out to the back. We put our stuff down and started looking up stairs. Up stairs was just one always with three doors. The door on the right was another bathroom, to the left, and straight ahead was two different bedrooms. Each of the rooms had their own small bathroom. Haley got the room on the left and I got the one straight ahead. Sense our apartment came furnished we didn't have to do any shopping for that. Once we got settled in we decide to take a trip to the nearest grocery store to get food. Haley and I walk down to the corner and enter a little supermarket.

"Ok so we need all the basic stuff... And other than that..."

"Cake. We need stuff to make cake. And lots of it!"

"Alright I can argue with that!"

Haley an I set off into different directions and split up the list. As I was rounding the corner, while looking at my list I bump into someone.

"Oh I am so sorry I was looking at my grocery list!"

"It's alright love" the stranger says with sunglasses and a beanie on.

"Still I'm very sorry!"

"No it was my fault I was looking the other direction!"

"No it was mine haha"

"So you're American are you?"

"Yeah I just moved here with my friend for a while."

"A while?"

"Yeah we don't really know how long haha"

"Oh alright, by the way I'm Harry."

"Hello Harry I'm Claire, you're the first person I've met in London so far! Besides the taxi driver but that was only for 15 minutes haha!"

"Oh well I'm honored to be that first person! I really must leave now though, do you live around here?"

"Yeah just up the street."

"Oh me too, I'll probably see you another time then! Gotta run it was nice meeting you!"

"You too Harry" I say with a big smile on my face as he walks off. I've just met my first friend in London and it just so happens to be a cute boy.
