Amelia

BANG! BANG! BANG!

I quickly open my eyes and shoot up in bed. What the fuck is that noise?

"Millie I know you're in there!" God. Are you serious?

Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I slip my pink fuzzy slippers onto my feet and make my way through the kitchen to the front door, not even bothering to check the peephole because I already know who's standing on the other side.

Opening the door I am met with the brown haired boy I call my brother. As I give him a once over, I wouldn't say his outfit is fancy by any means, but he does look like he's trying to be presentable.

"What do you want?" I say impatiently since he so nicely - not - woke me up out of my slumber. 

"Well aren't you just so cheery this morning," he says with an annoying smile as he brings his thumb and pointer finger up to pinch at my cheek. Except before he even gets the chance to reach my face, I swat his hand down.

"You have approximately three seconds to tell me why you're here or I'm throwing you out," I stand in front of him with my arms crossed and my right leg bent out in front of my left. "Well, since you asked so nicely, I'm taking you out to breakfast. Harry's meeting us there, and he's gonna be there in," looking down to the watch on his wrist, "twenty minutes so you better throw some clothes on!"

Not even having the energy to argue with him, or think about how he said Harry was going out to breakfast with us, I groan and turn on my heel making my way towards my bedroom. I quickly throw on an outfit that anyone can tell I picked up off the floor, and head into the bathroom to brush my hair, toss it into a messy braid and brush my teeth.

Heading back out into my kitchen, I see my brother sitting on the couch watching whatever was on when he got here. He can feel my presence though and turns his head my way, "you ready to go?" he asks, while standing up and moving towards the front door. Mumbling a quiet 'yeah' but not without a smile, we walk down the stairs of my apartment building and find ourselves outside in front of his car.

Opening the car door, I slide onto the black leather seat and pull out my phone, waiting for his bluetooth system to automatically connect to my phone. As he pulls out of the parking lot I hear the soft voice of Todd Rundgren as his song Hello It's Me starts to play through the speakers.

Making our way into the parking lot of 'Clementines', a breakfast place that's pretty close to campus, I can already see Harry sitting at a table next to the window.

It's only 9:45 am but it's already so sunny and warm out, it makes me wanna stay outside all day. There's only a slight breeze, which doesn't make it too cold, and take away from the warmth. I open the door for me and Eli, making our way over to the table that Harry has already chosen for us, sitting directly in front of him while Eli sits next to him.

Taking a long look at Harry, he's got his long chocolate curls in a messy bun, not exactly on top of his head but also not down by his neck. He's also got a hot pink short sleeve button down, with a white shirt and some design on it that I can't quite make out underneath the buttons. And not to forget the black lensed round sunglasses sitting at the top of his head. God, he looks so good.

"Earth to Millie," Eli says to me while waving his hands frantically in front of my face. "Jesus, what?" I spit out while Harry snickers, trying to hide it. "Oh not you too," I point at him with a mock pout on my face. He looks right at me with a smirk on his face and his tongue pushed into his bottom lip to make it jut out just the right amount, and I immediately begin to feel my face heat.
