My Favorite Mistake (1D / H.S./ Harry Styles)- REVISING

Chapter 3

Yes! Summer break is here. Lisa and I will be hanging out practically every day and she'll help me babysit my 6 year old sister, Kelly, a couple days a week. She's a handful...Kelly, not Lisa. I'd take that over the fakes, phonies, and crap from high school.

I walk in the door and plop on the couch. It smells like Mom and Kelly are in the kitchen making cookies. I turn on the television and it looks like a snail has gone in circles on the screen. What in the hell is that?! I stand up and walk over for a closer look. You have got to me kidding me!!!!

"MOM!!!!!" I holler.

My mom comes running in with Kelly in tow. I point to the television screen in disgust. My mom's jaw hits the floor as she turns to Kelly and asked her what did she do?

"Mommy, I had boogers and they needed to come out."

"Why didn't you go blow your nose?", my mom asks clenching her teeth trying to suppress her laughter.

"Mommy! The Kleenex was too far away. Those boogers couldn't wait!"  Kelly responds matter of factly.

"Kelly, you know that ALL boogers belong on a Kleenex."

"Ok, Mommy. I'm sorry." And off she skips back into the kitchen.

"Clean it up, Sam."

"Ewwww! Seriously?!"

"I wasn't asking you. I'm telling you."

Gross. This is how it goes each and every time. Kelly gets away with so much shit while I clean it up. She's lucky she's cute. She's 11 years younger than me and we are the only two in the family. It was quite an adjustment after being an only child for 11 years and then this little hellion comes along...a Barbie playing, booger wiping, get away with murder hellion.

I grab a rag, wet it a bit, and proceed to wipe the snail trail off the television. So disgusting!!

A couple weeks go by and I've got Kelly out in front of the house kicking around a soccer ball. I look up to catch our neighbor, Calum, walking by with a friend of his. Calum is my age but lives with his mom during the school year so we go to different schools. We'd hang out from time to time listening to music and stuff. I completely forgot it was that time of year he was staying with his dad for a few weeks. Now, his friend? I've never seen him before. His friend is extremely good looking....must..stop...staring...

"Sam! Long time, no see, stranger!", Calum says as he walks over and gives me a huge hug. "This is my buddy, Zayn." He continues.

Wow!...that's about all I say about this guy as he gets closer. He is just down right hot...and I mean in every sense of the word...hot.

"Vas happenin?" Zayn says with an adorable smile.

Just in case you didn't hear me the first time...WOW.

I think I strung a couple words together to form a sentence or two. I am so distracted by Zayn and I am really trying not to stare.

Calum and I catch up a bit while Zayn kicks around the soccer ball with Kelly. Calum invites me to go out with him and Zayn tomorrow to go go-kart racing. I've never been but always wanted to. Calum suggests I invite Lisa, knowing how inseparable we are.

"Let's go, Mate!" Calum calls to Zayn and they start heading back to his dad's house.

"It was nice to meet you!" Zayn says as he jogs backwards before catching up with Calum.

"Uh huh" was all I could get out. Did I mention...wow? Holy shit was that kid good looking! Brown eyes, short brown hair, a smile that practically made my knees collapse from underneath me, and another damn British accent.

I better call Lisa, call dibs on Zayn, and figure out what in the hell I'm going to wear!!!

After hanging up the phone with her, she's coming over hours in advance tomorrow. It takes us three times longer to get ready when we're together. Don't ask. It is just one of those things.

As night comes, I am beyond excited for tomorrow. I settle in to watch TV in my room when my phone rings. The caller ID indicates a number I don't recognize but it's local. I debate on answering it but my curiosity gets the best of me.

I answer it, "Hello?"

"Sam?" Verifies the voice with a British accent on the other end.

Are you kidding me?! NO WAY!!!!
