[A/N: I have to give credit to my friend Madi for making my story a trillion times better!!]

Chapter 1: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet

“Oh my God! I’m going to pass out!” I think to myself. “No! No, you’re not! Calm down. Relax, Karen. You are going to be just fine,” Kate whispered back to me. Except for the fact she wasn’t speaking to me. She was inside me. She was not me but yet we occupied the same body. “Oh, shut up, Kate. You know how I feel about flying,” I snapped back at the girl inside. “You do realize that we aren’t in the air yet, right? Just take a deep breath and calm the hell down!” Kate growled. I let it drop there as the plane began to creep forward. It turned down the right runway and slowly made its way down the long tarmac before the thrusters kicked in and the plane sped down the asphalt. The tires slowly lifted off the ground and I could feel my heart leap up into my throat. My stomach started doing somersaults as I looked out the window watching as the solid ground of the Earth began to fade away. I looked away from the window cursing the airline for giving me the window seat. Looking straight ahead I attempted to take a deep breath and calm my nerves. Anything I could to keep myself from hyperventilating would be entirely grateful.

 As I finally got control of my nerves I heard the distant sound of someone calling my name. “Karen? Karen? Are you ok? Karen, can you hear me?”

My head snapped to the side. I sputtered out a quick, “What?” It was a bit louder than I had expected and I cringed inwardly at the stares I received from the people sitting around me.

“Are you ok?” the blonde haired boy asked concerned. The boy next to me was Niall Horan. The one shining light of this entire trip to Australia. As a precaution our teacher, Mr. G, had employed the buddy system. I was the lucky girl to be paired up with the lovely blonde sitting next to me. He and I were supposed to be attached at the hip the entire trip. Sadly, this boy was the boy that I had been crazy in love with since I was thirteen in middle school. His sandy blonde hair, that had always been much sexier with the brown roots, and his eyes that were bluer than the sea had captured my heart within minutes of our first meeting. His toned muscles that were found all over his body only added to his appeal. The six pack that I had witnessed last year at the swimming pool was a sight that had plagued my memories almost every night since. His height of 5’8’’ towered over my minimal 5’2’’ stature and that didn’t help to the godly personality that he displayed. I had found myself wondering multiple times if he was actually a mirage. I figment of my imagination. Wouldn’t be the first time that had happened.

 But, I had always admired from afar. For he was The Niall Horan, I was a nobody that was never noticed. I don’t think that we had ever had one meaningful conversation since we had met in 7th grade. The fact that he was so untouchable had always made me feel a bit nervous talking to him. Well, I am. Kate isn’t, but that’s a different story.

“Are you okay?” Niall asked again. I hadn’t realized until then that I was staring at him. The very thought that I had been staring at him scared me.

 “I-I, um, f-f-flying makes me, um, n-nervous,” I barely stutter out. I look down shyly as my cheeks grow as red as tomatoes and my entire body flushes.

“There is nothing to worry about it,” he tells me placing a hand on my thigh, “Just take a deep breath and stay calm.” He gave me a reassuring smile and then put his headphones on. Great, he talks just like her. And is just as good at ignoring as she is, too.

An hour later, I had finally begun to calm down a little bit. I was able to take in my surroundings and realize that the plane I was on was quite small. It was just big enough to carry the 100 students on board and 50 other flyers. It was just as noisy as a school bus. But you had to take the fact that there were 100 high schoolers on board into consideration. I looked over at Niall to see that he had fallen asleep with his headphones. I couldn’t help, but look at how cute he was when he slept.
