"So two things," Calli said right as she walked out of fourth hour, on our way to lunch. "First people won't shut up about my accent, literally the first word out of every one mouth when they first meet me is 'American?' and all these British accents are killing me, I love it!"

"And the second thing?" I asked laughing at her exclamation.

"Oh ya, so I was talking to this girl in my last class and I asked her if she knew you, and she was shocked I'd even asked the question because 'Every one knows Taylor Payne' and then she refused to talk to me."

"Ahh she is what most people call a 'groupie' they worship the 'big five' and any one with any connection to them," I explained.

"And the big five are....?"

"You've already met some of them," I said smiling at Calli's confused face, "Justin and Tom."

"What! So like you're pretty much one of them?"

"I'm actually better than all of them," I said with a smile.

"No you're not!" Tommy said showing up behind me and stealing my cookie.

"Yes I am," I said taking my half eaten cookie back just in time for Justin to steal it and eat the other half.

"So how do you fancy England, Calli?" Justin asked shooting her his million dollar smile.

"Um it's good I really enjoy it here," she replied awkwardly looking a little star struck.

"Do you want to meet the rest of the gang?" he asked her.

"Sure," she said shyly "I mean I'd love to."

We fell behind Tom and Justin as we walked to the group.

"What was that?" I asked.

"What was what?" she replied still in a bit of a daise. "You-you said he was popular..."

"No I think he is a duffous, other people say he's popular," I rolled my eyes at her. "Calli I'm 'popular' and you don't have a problem talking to me?"

"Ya but-but he's-"

"But he's attractive and has a smile that lights up the whole world?" I asked knowing I had taken the words right out of her mouth.

"Ya," she said awkwardly.

"He's just a person Calli, infact I think he's less then a person sometimes but that's probably because I have to live with him," I smiled but Calli still looked terrified. "He's really nice and he's a gentleman, they all are and they will love you I promise." I said reassuringly.

Calli took a deep breath and smiled, then she nodded and we began walking forward again.

"Hey every one this is Calli!" I said as we reached the table.

"Hi," she said shyly.

"Hello!" Every one chorused back.

"She's Amarican!" Ethan shouted to Mike, even though they were sitting right next to eachother.

"Yes I am, and you've got an... interesting accent," she replied.

"You see me dads Irish," he said using his best Irish accent, "And my mother is American," he spoke in an only American accent. "And I'm British," he said with a British accent. "So this is what you get," he said finally speaking with his normal voice which was mostly British now cause he was around British people but a tad bit more American then usual probably cause of Calli.

I looked down at the rest of our table, Mike was sitting at the far end with his girlfriend Sarah, he sat at our table out of respect but I think he'd honestly rather just be with her. Then Justin who was sitting next to his girlfriend of four months, Emily, she sat across from Tom and next to him was an open seat for me then at the end of the table where Callie and I were currently standing Jake and Ethan sat across from eachother complaining about the poor food service here.

"Not every one gets a personal chief," I commented hitting Ethan lightly on the back of the head. Just then Jakes eyes lit up.

"You should have him make us sack lunches!" Jake exclaimed.

"Or better yet I have him come here every day and make us fresh lunches, you know his food is best right out of the oven!"

They continued to argue about who's idea was better so I grabed Callie hand and led the way a round the table.

"Who are they talking about?" Callie asked referring to the conversation Jake and Ethan just had.

"Um.. Ethans family has a personal chief," I explained, "most of our families do but theirs is the best."

"Seriously!?" Calli exclaimed, "So not only are you popular, your parents are loaded and so are the parents of all of your popular friends?" She asked as we sat down by Thomas, across from Justin and Emily.

"Well... " I started to explain but I was cut off by Emily.

"Does she not know who you guys are?" she asked judgingly.

"Um.." Calli looked at me, confused.

"Their dads are are only the biggest boy band of all time!" Emily continued.

"The Beatles are way too old to be your parents!" Calli said with a slight smile.

"I like her," Thomas smiled.

"You seriously don't know who One Direction is?" Emily continued causing me to roll my eyes.

"Oh, I've heard of them. They're your parents?" Calli asked.

"Ya," Justin, Thomas and I shrugged.
Emily continued to look annoyed.

"Wow, it's pretty cool that you guys live such normal life's."

This caused Emily to sigh again in annoyance.
"They don't-" she started just to be cut off by Thomas.

"Yeah, we get the best of both worlds don't we." Emily was quiet for the rest of lunch.

"See you tomorrow Calli!" I said as we walked outside after school about to part ways.

"You don't have to keep showing me around, I think I've got it figured out," She replied quietly.

"Are you kidding?"

"Well you've just been so nice and I dont want to impose."

"Calli I like hanging out with you. You're awesome! Plus I could use a girl friend, look who I hang out with!" I exclaimed gesturing toward Justin and Tom who were wrestling for shotgun.

"Thank you so much. I was really worried about making friends. And you should probably go break that up before one of them gets hurt. See you tomorrow!"
