Once in A Lifetime

0.1

     I walked into my room, flicked on the fairy lights surrounding my window, and sat on my bed. I reached over and grabbed my laptop from my desk and logged into Instagram. Scrolling through my feed I see Harry Styles has posted a picture. It's nothing interesting but I click the "like" button anyway. A piece of hair falls in my face and I tuck it behind my ear. I look up from my laptop and glance at my One Direction poster on my wall. I'm bored if you can't tell. I decide to check a direct message I sent to him a few weeks ago. I start typing.

@reaganstyles: harrahh
@reaganstyles: when do you come to Seattle
@reaganstyles:I'm bored
@reaganstyles:ASDFGHJKL I LOVE YOU SO MUCH HAZ
@reaganstyles: whoops ;) I got no control

    I hear something hit the window. It's probably rain again. I get up and look out and it's not rain. It's Jacob. Me and Jacob have been friends since 3rd grade. He's cool I guess. I open the window and something small and hard hits my face; it's a M&M. I pick it off the windowsill and hold in front of me.

"JACOB!" I screeched.

     I throw the candy at his head and close the window. I sprint from my room, run down the stairs and open the front door. Jacob is standing there smirking at me.

"Really? M&M's? You are so weird"

   He pushes me out of the way and walks into the kitchen. I just shake my head and walk back to my room. Minutes later he is standing in the door way with, popcorn, chips, and more candy. I grab my laptop and steal some popcorn from the bowl in his arms.

"Hey stop it, this is my food!" He pulls it away before I can eat more.

"Oh really, where did you get it?" I ask him.

"Erm, the kitchen?" He says carefully.

"Exactly, so it's mine" and I reach over and grab a pack of candy.

    I look back at him reading something on the laptop, but remember I was "talking" to Harry.

"Umm why are you direct messaging THE Harry Styles? You know he won't respond." He says.

I look down at my feet and shrug.

"Maybe this time he will." I look up at him again, to see him on my laptop, typing and then went to Netflix.

"whatever, let's just watch Mean Girls" He said.
---------------------

    Two and a half hours later and I'm on my laptop, direct messaging Harry again.

@reaganstyles:hi
@reaganstyles:hii
@reaganstyles:hiii
@reaganstyles:how are you

   I feel something soft hit my back I look  behind me to find a small pillow and Jacob is sitting halfway up glaring at me.

"Go to sleep! It's late!" And he lays back down on the couch in my room.

     I look at the alarm clock on my desk and it reads 2:47 AM. Going back to the DM I take one last glance, then turn it off and put it on the desk. I lay back in bed and stare at the ceiling.

"What if he does respond?" I ask myself out loud.

"Ehh ughhhmmm" Jacob yells random noises at me.
    I roll on my side and finally fall asleep.

---------------------

    I open one eye and look around. I smell food coming from downstairs. I quickly spring out of bed and run to the kitchen. I see my mother standing there with a spatula in her hand and some pancakes on a plate next to her.
