Alexa~

I walk up to Stacy's the next morning. I can hear her older sister talking to her Dad and Stacy yawning like a bear from her bedroom. Per usual. Stacy's Dad opens the door with tired eyes, he was probably working late last night again. "Hi Alexa, nice to see you, Stacy's awake so you can go ahead and talk to her." "Thanks John!" I smile and walk into Stacy's room, she puts her phone down and basically GRABS me into a hug. She makes me look straight into her eyes, and says, "I heard you had your Thanksgiving with Harry tell me everything and tell me now." I laugh, roll my eyes, and explain everything that happened. I think it's safe to say that Stacy could have caused a fire drill with her screaming, thank god that didn't happen. Luckily I was able to get in what I asked for about confidence for talking to Niall, she told me take deep breaths, think about what you are going to say, and don't get distracted by the things around you, it makes you lose your concentration. I also told her about Louis. I need hearing aids. Athough, I was shocked to hear that they were once good friends when we were all little, I guess they just grew apart. After about an hour or so I decide to leave, and I choked on my water after the last thing she said to me was, "DON'T LET HARRY HURT YOU BECAUSE I WILL WOOP HIS ASS."

Two hours later I decide to take a run. I really needed it, I feel like I'm getting fatter every second I'm just laying around. Changed into yoga pants and a nice excerise top, I was out the door. Playing some fob, tøp, and Melanie Martinez is a great way to get immersed in the music and fall into a ditch. Fuck my life. But thankfully, Niall happened to be passing by from Starbucks and pulled me up. This was perfect! I have a chance to talk to Niall as apart of the plan! I smile and take a deep breath, "Hey Niall! How are you doing?" I smile a genuine smile to have it be realistic. He smiles back with that big smile of his with his squishy cheeks. "I'm doing good, thanks!" I had to think of good questions to ask, "Hey so New Year's Eve is coming up soon, anything you wanted to achieve before then?" He nods, "I really do want to have a New Year's kiss." "Awe, that sounds sweet, anybody specific?" His cheeks tinted with red as he nodded, "I do but I rather not say." I giggle, "That's ok, well, I better get going! See you later!" We both smile and wave as we walk down different directions.

I sigh a sigh of relief when I get home, no people to talk to until tomorrow. Perfect. I text Harry and Louis,

Public School Friends:

Alexa - i got something on Niall, and accidentally too.

Louis - thats great!

Alexa - ikr!

Louis - my parents arent home, you guys can come over to my house if you want to talk about it or something.

Alexa - i would, but my car is getting its oil changed and it wont be ready until tomorrow.

Louis - i can pick you up, where do you live?

Harry - ill give lou your address. Im free too.

Alexa - :\ i forgot you had my address damn it.

Harry - ;) of course public.

Louis - alright, ill pick you up in an hour ok?

Alexa - sounds good, see you then.

Harry - bye dumbass, bye private.

I run into the bathroom to get ready, it didn't take that long, I just put on some leggings and a sweatshirt, and did a small bit of makeup. Around 55 minutes later Louis was outside my house.

"Hey Alexa! Ready to go?" He smiles, I smile. "Yeah, let's go." As we walk down the path, my eyes go wide again. "YOU HAVE A MASERATI?!" He jumps after I yell and laughs, "My uncle didn't even want it, so I drive it now, this is probably the most expensive thing my family owns, and besides, my parents said they are happy with their cars and I deserve one too." He explains while I blush in embarrassment at my outburst.

We drive down a lonely road. I realize that Louis's place is near where we cross to go to school. It makes sense, if Harry, Niall, and Louis all walk from the same direction, they must live near each other. "Are you lost in thought love?" He says quietly as we drive down the road. My cheeks turn red, I have never been called "Love" before, but luckily he can't notice it since the sun is setting. He chuckles while the 1975 plays softly on the radio.
