You've Got That One Thing

CHAPTER 2

Later that night, me and Katie were sat in a taxi on our way to Harry’s flat. Katie was wearing a white elegant floaty dress, whereas I had a tight purple dress on. Katie looked beautiful, making me feel like a hippo. She grabbed my hand, she was slightly tipsy, we'd drank a few whilst getting ready,

‘I’m nervous!’ She giggled, the taxi road on through the streets steadily.

‘Me too. There’s also some really cute blonde Irish boy there. Your in?’ I laughed, watching the lights flash by out the window, smudges of yellow shone through the window from the street-lights, emitting the taxi.

‘I’m interested in Harry. He’s gorgeous!’ She grinned, I quickly looked at her. She was being serious.

My heart plummeted. I was hoping someone else would catch her eye tonight...

We pulled up at the flat soon afer, I paid the driver. We climbed out the car. People were going up the flat in groups, we followed them, not really sure where we were heading. The wind was cold against my bare legs, goosepimples erupted on my skin. As we stood in the elevator with three other boys, shivering, I recognised the Irish boy.

‘You were in the shop.’ He smiled at me, he had uneven teeth, yet he was so cute.

‘Yes. I was.’ I replied innocently,

‘I’m Niall. This is Zayn,’ He gestured to a good-looking dark hair boy, ‘And this is Liam.’ He smiled at me. He was really muscular, he smiled warmly at me.

‘I’m Lucy, and this is Katie.’ I replied, Katie fluttered her eyelashes.

Zayn and Niall laughed, nudging each other. I glanced at Katie, she was just as confused.

‘Do you not recognise us?’ Liam asked.

‘What do you mean?’ I asked,

The elevator pinged as we hit the top floor, I watched them, attempting to understand what was going on.

‘We’re from a band.’ Niall grinned at the others.

‘OH MY GOD!’ Katie shrieked,

‘What?!’ I was confused.

‘Its One Direction!’ She yelled,

'No its not.' I laughed, yet everyone else remained serious.

My jaw dropped. Niall put his hands around my waist, guiding me to the door.

‘Don’t freak out.’ He whispered in my ear,

I looked behind me at Katie, she was in shock, nearly walking into the wall.

Liam swung the door open. The flat was modern, it looked expensive, their television was cinema size. Rihanna was blaring from the speakers, the room was dim, lit by flashing lights. I felt Niall’s hand drop from my waist, lightly going over my bum, which was kind of inappropriate, but I wasnt complaining. There must be about fifty people in here. I swung around in search for Katie, but she’d disappeared already. I spotted cans on a table, I reached for one. A boy with brown, straight hair stood looking at me confused,

‘Who are you? Harry’s friend?’ He asked, confused.

I recognised him from One Direction. Louis Tomlinson, he raked his hand through his hair. He was really cute,

‘Y-y-yeah.’ I stammered, feeling suddenly star-struck.

‘I’m Louis.’ He smiled, I tried not come across as a crazy fan.

‘I know that!’ I grinned, ‘I’m Lucy.' My attempts to remain calm were working.

He smiled. ’Nice to meet you.’

Then he walked off, I watched him disappear into the darkness. I felt suddenly alone, I didnt recognise anyone here. The flashing lights were confusing, the room was hot, people pushing against one another, people snogging. I walked the way I’d seen Louis disappear, hopeful. It was another room, Niall was there. He was messing around with the music system, Harry was looking over his shoulder holding a beer, laughing. Louis had his arms around a pretty brown-haired girl, and some other people were in the corner snogging. Harry looked up, feeling my gaze, his face lit up as he recognised me

‘Lucy!’ He smiled, walking over, 'You actually came.'

'Yeah...' I replied, smiling, suddenly slightly shy,

I watched him move over to him, his tight red polo fitted in exactly the right places...
