Bailey and I were back with our crowd, all the girls laughing until our sides hurt, sitting in the large underground well kept food court of the shopping center, resting our feet from the extreme shopping we and heavy lifting of the many bags we had accumulated. Serena was sandwiched between us clutching numerous bags from Topshop, we all held our tall chocolate dipped Ice creams, I caught a loose piece of chocolate running down the side and licked it off.

"Glad to have my girls back!" she said while wrapping her arms over our shoulders.

"Even if it is temporary..." she added.

"What does that mean?" Bailey questioned her, a little sass in her voice.

"Well, since Melina's with Harry now, I doubt she'll have time for us." Serena replied, gesturing to the other girls to go back to their airhead conversations. "So it's basically us or Harry" she made a disgusted face when she said his name.

How can I choose between a great boy who actually respects me and would never make me choose between him and my friends, and a self-absorbed snob that thinks I'm just a piece in her game. I know how, "Let's go Bailey." I snapped, not breaking eye contact with Serena.

"My thoughts exactly." Bailey fired back, and grabbed her multicoloured bags and we gave a faux friendly wave.

Serena was gobsmacked. At this point the entire group of girls looked at us curiously, I don't think they've ever been ditched before, there's a first time for everything!

We strutted with attitude until we couldn't hear the whispers of the now-smaller posse, and made it to the parking lot. "That was awesome!" Bailey smiled. "Did you see their faces!" we began laughing, recalling the dumbfound looks they gave us. "Where to next?" Bailey asked while scooting behind the wheel of her parked car.

"Well, I told my mom I'd be out for the entire day... So how about Harry's place. I don't think he'll mind." I suggested. "Why not! It's not like he'll have any other plans, I only met him once, and that was when he was holding Ice to his swelling face. Not a good first impression for both of us..."

I gave Bailey the directions to the house I'd only been to once and she did her best to follow. "What 'cha looking at?" she questioned, eyes turning away from the road to rest on my phone in hand. "Writing a goodbye message to my family in case you kill us in an auto wreck." I joked.

"Hey! I haven't killed anyone yet...... yet." she gave me an evil look, and we laughed. "So really, what are you doing? you look deep in thought." she asked. "Just checking my facebook, and being a philosopher." I responded. "That explains the face..." she directed her attention back to driving. I hesitantly clicked the 'unfriend' button on Serena's facebook page, It felt like a weight was lifted off my chest.

"Is this it?" Bailey queried, pointing to the house that could only belong to Harry. "Yep. Just park on the street" I directed her.

We walked across the dry grass that brushed against my new shoes. when we reached the tall grey door, I took hold of the brass door knocker and hit it against the door frame. When a beautiful woman opened the door, I assumed it was his sister, she gave us a heartfelt smile. "Hi girls, I think you may have the wrong house." she stated.

I gave Bailey a dirty look, I knew she'd mess up the directions.

"Is Harry here?" I asked, praying that we might be right.

"oh, you know Harry? he's upstairs, you can go right up. I'm Anne by the way, his mum. You two look lovely!" She said brightly.

She does not look old enough to be a mom. "Thank you Mrs.Styles." I said, climbing the stairs to Harry's bedroom.
