Once I got back home I decided to pass the time by cleaning up around my house. I plugged my iPod into the stereo in the living room and got to work. I started with the kitchen since it was still a mess from this morning and gradually worked my way around my entire house. When I was sweeping all the crap that was under my bed, my phone chirped, signalling that I had a new message. I unlocked my phone and saw that it was from Harry.

be ready by 8:00

I checked the time and say that it was a quarter to seven so I still had a good amount of time left to finish cleaning and get ready. I quickly finished cleaning and was about to get into the shower, when my phone started ringing. I was going to ignore it but when I saw that it was Niall, I answered.

"Hey, loser." I said, walking into the bathroom, my towel draped over my arm.

"Hey, nerd. What are you doing?" he answered.

"Actually, I was just about to take a shower. I have a date tonight."

"What? Who wants to go out with your smelly ass?" Niall teased, laughing at his own joke.

"Um..." I hesitated, I knew that Niall felt a little uneasy about Harry so I didn't know how he was going to take the news. "Harry, actually."

There was silence for a couple seconds on the other line. "Oh." Niall said, all traces of humor gone from his voice. "Well, I don't want to preach at you or anything but just be careful, Alice. I know I don't really know the guy but what I've heard about him isn't good."

"I know, don't worry. He's not that bad." 

"Okay, if you say so. Have fun and don't do anything I would do."

I laughed, "Will do. Bye." 

After I hung up I placed my phone on the counter and stripped off. I grabbed a shower cap and put it on because I didn't want to wet my hair. I turned the shower nozzle, adjusting the temperature of the water before stepping in. I poured some fruity smelling soap on a loofah and scrubbed down my body. After about fifteen minutes I got out of the shower. I dried myself off with my towel and put on my pink fluffy robe. After shaving my legs, I was done. I took off the shower cap, grabbed my phone, and went to my room.

I went to my underwear drawer and pulled on a cute pair of panties and a bra. I quickly applied some lotion to my arms and legs so they would be soft. I wanted to straighten my hair so I plugged in my flat iron so it could heat up while I picked out an outfit. I had no idea what I should wear. I wanted to go casual because I didn't want to look like I was trying too hard, but I also wanted to look cute. In the end I chose a strapless peplum top that was white with some watercolor flowers on them, a pair of dark wash jeans, and some brown leather platform boots that laced up.

When I was done getting dressed I started working on my hair. My hair was naturally slightly wavy and really thick, hanging all the way down to the middle of my back. I sprayed some heat protectant spray on it and straightened it, parting it down the middle. When my hair was done, I did my makeup. Nothing too dramatic, just some mascara, light pink lipstick, and some blush. When I was done, I looked in my full size mirror to make sure that I looked okay. I looked pretty good. Not too fancy, not too casual. Plus my legs looked really long thanks to my shoes. Just then the doorbell rang.

I peeked out my window and saw Harry standing outside. With his motorcycle. I was still a little wary of it but whatever, nothing I could really do about it. I quickly spritzed on some perfume, grabbed my purse and my phone, and headed out the door.
