Justin's pov:

« Welcome to ‘ The House of Pancakes’ » said a waitress, « are you ready to order? »

« yeah » I mumbled « I want Blueberry Pancakes and eggs with bacon »

« okay, I’ll be back right here in five minutes » she said walking off.

I was skipping school that day because I don’t know why but I wasn’t in a good mood; nobody knew where I was or why I wasn’t attending my Maths period. Somebody told me about this place before that morning – I didn’t remember if it was Selena or actually someone else – but that place were I had never been before was somehow stuck in my mind. When the waitress finally brought me my breakfast it was already eleven am and I felt sort of depressed. I was lost in my thoughts when I heard a familiar voice, soft and lovely; I turned and faced Selena looking so sexy in her ‘waitress uniform’. I called her and once she noticed me she came closer asking why I wasn’t at school. I replied saying I didn’t want to, so she said I shouldn’t have skipped school and I laughed. I don’t know how but we ended up talking about lunch time; she told me she was going to work only until twelve pm that day because she needed a free afternoon. Where I’ve found the courage to ask her out I don’t know, but I actually did.

« Selena, what about if we lunch together today? » I dared to say.

At first she had a weird facial expression, as she was surprised, but then she politely agreed.

« Well, okay » she said « but I have to be at home at six o’clock! »

« it sounds perfect: six o’clock » I repeated smirking just a bit.

One hour later I was waiting for her to come into my truck, the car was not messy anymore ( because I’ve cleaned it up while waiting ) and I was finally in a good mood. My phone was turned off: I didn’t want anyone to disturb me!

« So, where are we going? » she asked sitting, freezing my thoughts.

« it’s kind of a surprise » I smirked making her laugh

« you’re funny, kid! » she laughed.

We drove for over an hour, I decided to take her to my lakeside house where I was certain nobody was in it… so we stopped in a restaurant where people knows me very well and took away some delicious food which roasted chicken, potatoes and Italian fettuccine. We ordered two cokes and one litre of sparkling water. Then I drove her home. She found it nice and loved that surprise, I loved her cheerful reaction. I didn’t know why, as I said million times before, but Selena has a influence on me and I love being with her. Our dialogues, our little talks, our laughs, our jokes… though she was older than me, I wanted to protect her and I acted like I was her older brother. She said she found it sweet of me. I showed her the lake, the garden, the rock where Jaxon, dad and I used to go fishing when I was younger.

With Selena I had the chance to be listened and she had the same chance from me; she told me many little things of herself I found lovely and attractive, her thoughts were pure poetry and her feelings made me understand she was fragile. She told me about some exes, a dork called Riley who broke her heart into pieces, and I felt like I wanted so bad to kick this damn kid. Yeah, she was definitely fragile and undefended.

Selena's pov:

We were now laid on short grass in front of his house and it felt nice to stay with him, chilling and having a great time. While talking I even forgot about the date so I was 100% relaxed. 

« you still have three questions to ask me, remember? » he said, making me laugh as always.

« do you have any hidden dream? »

« I-I » he began taking a deep breath, « becoming a singer » he sighed. « sometimes I like to close my eyes and think about myself having fans, maybe fame, and singing in a concert. And some nights I make wishes whenever I see a shooting star, like a little kid... »

« wow » I sighed, he turned his face and we looked each other in eyes. 

« it'd be awesome, I guess » he told me then « you know, I believe we all are born to be somebody but just a few make it through the storm »

« that's exactly how I feel » I said in a shy, silent voice slowly loosing myself in his glance… 

« an-and your fourth question » he mumbles embarrassedly. 

I took a breath like I was trying to wake up from an awesome dream, and I spoke. Do you like your school? I questioned. He gave me an awkward look and replied saying sometimes he did, sometimes he didn't. 

I gave a quick look at my phone and gasped because of how late we were. 

« it's six and half! Justin! We must run home!! » I nervously exclaimed, standing up and forcing him to move. He looked at me awkwardly as he didn't want to leave, as a kid looks at his mum when she forces him to do homework. 

I don't know why, but we didn't talk anymore. The car was so quite, we were so quite; it was like we had argued but we didn't. No one had the courage to look at the other, so our way home was terrible. Though I wanted to say something, I had no clue of what to say.

Once we arrived home, I quickly ran upstairs forward bathroom and had a shower; then I made my make-up ( a very easy and light ) and decided to wear my long black dress. I prepared my hair and chose with Jazzy a nice pair of shoes. I heard Bieber's doorbell ring and then Mr Bieber shouting « Selly, there's some one for you! »

I gave a last look at mirror and ran downstairs were I found Justin and Harry talking, Jazzy wanted an autograph said Jaxon smirking. Justin was kind of speechless; he gave me a very long glance and turned without even wishing us a good night. I don't know why he was acting in this way… but I wanted him to stop just because of the great time we had together. 

Harry was wearing just a shirt and a pair of jeans and I noticed all his tattoos - too many! -. He gave me a quick kiss on my cheek, kids hugged me and Erin wished me great night. 

We got out and got on his car, a long luxury car where there was a man paid only to drive it. Harry began talking about his concerts and moneys and I didn't appreciate it a lot, anyway we left. Justin stared at us from the living room's windows. It was suddenly raining, and I felt like in a movie. Something inside me told me to get out of the car and run forward Justin, but I didn't.  

Justin's pov:

I cannot believe she has just left with Harry Styles, the dork from One Direction… we were having a great time today - the best time of my life - and she wanted to leave. Because of him. 

I'm deeply loosing myself falling for her, but I have to remember she's a woman now. I'm a kid. Two different world, I should better let her go. 

I guess if she's having fun with him now… of course she's… she's like all other girls who chase after fame. She told me so many lies but now I know the truth, she isn't different at all. Blaaah… bitch.
