"Hey Millie, what do you think is gonna happen? Do you think we'll get to see the boys?" Sarah whispered to me, asking.

"Sarah Mary Willows, we are about to brought to jail and you still have the mood to think about whether we'll get to see the boys?? I knew I shouldn't have listened to you... We are dead meat!"

"Oh will you just stop worrying so much? C'mon, its not like we stole anything or did anything against the law. Plus, I'm sure they'll let us off, they're nice people."

"Right, so Frowny Lady just now is the nicest person on Earth?" I retorted.

"Well maybe-" Before Sarah got to finish her sentence, the woman we saw earlier came stalking out of her office and towards Sarah and I.

Surprisingly, that thin line of lips had now turned into a smile. You could tell the smile was forced, though, and the frown stayed in place.

Told you it was permanent.

What made me feel a little less worried and angry though, was who was walking next to the woman.

It was Harry freaking Styles.

My heart started beating non-stop at top speed, and it was so loud i could almost hear it beating.

Thousands of thoughts started running through my mind.

What was Harry doing here? Where were the rest of the boys? Was he going to scold us?

"Millie, please come into my office for a second." said the Frowny Woman.

Shit.Shit.Shit.Shit. What now? Why was she calling me into her office? Was I the only one who was going to get punished?

My heart started beating even faster than it was before, and I started to sweat all over.

As I followed Frowny Woman and Harry into the office, I wiped my sweaty palms profusely on my jeans, but my palms stayed wet.

I think I was probably wiping my hands on my jeans really hard, because Harry turned around just before we entered the office and asked,

"You nervous, babe?"

I nodded.

Wait.

Babe.

Harry Styles called me babe.

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! *Me screaming internally*

Harry gave a smile (*dead*) and comforted me, saying , "Don't worry, Joy may seem scary at first, but once you get to know her, she's actually really friendly."

I gave him a weak smile, hoping he wouldn't see that it was fake, and squeaked,"Okay. Thanks."

As much as I wanted to believe Harry, I knew what he said wasn't the truth.

Something in his voice told me even he himself didn't believe that statement.

And Joy? Frowny woman's name was Joy?? More like Joyless.

As soon as I entered the office, I was met with boring grey walls and black furniture. How could someone who wears such ridiculously bright colours work in such a dull place? Joyless was a complicated person, thats for sure.

I took a seat in the chair in front of the desk as Harry plopped down next to me, while Joyless took her seat behind her desk.

Harry Styles was sitting right next me. As scared as I was, the butterflies in my stomach fluttered happily for a moment.

"Hi, I believe we got off the wrong foot. I'm Joy McDonald. You can call me Joy. I'm One Direction's manager. You are?" Joyless started.

"I-I'm M-Millie. Nice to meet you. (Yeah, right)" I stammered nervously.

"Nice to meet you too, Millie. Okay, so on account of what I'm about to ask to do, I'll drop the whole matter of you and your friend sneaking in. That is, of course, if you agree to do whatever I'm about to ask you to do, okay?"

"Erm.. Wh-What do you need me to do?" I asked, feeling a little relieved. There was a chance for Sarah and I to be free of a criminal record!

"I need you to date Harry."

I almost choked on my saliva.

"What?"

"Yes, that's right, you're gonna have to fake date Harry for a year, for the publicity. One Direction's new album will be dropping soon, and we need as much publicity we can get. Don't worry after a year, you and Harry can 'break-up' and you can both pretend you've never been involved with each other, and never see each other again.", explained Joyless,"So, are you in?"

"But-but why me?"

"Well, we've been looking for someone to be Harry's fake girlfriend for awhile now, but we haven't been able to find someone who is totally suitable and willing to do this."

"Th-then how do you know I'm suitable and willing?" I argued nervously.

"You're a pretty girl, which will be a bonus for the reporters and the publicity stunt. Plus, I think you'll be willing. Don't think we didn't hear you telling Harry about you wanting him to fuck you. And, you'll be paid."

O.M.G. Wait. I'm pretty? I hadn't heard that phrase said to me in a long time, i wasn't really popular with the boys at school, so this was a first. And they heard me?? How? There were so many screaming fans! Oh damn, Harry's probably judging me right now.

I glanced at him to see his reaction about what Joyless said about that embarassing shout of mine. Harry had a smirk on his amused face, and those magnificent eyes of his staring at me, eyebrows raised.

Embarrassed, I quickly looked away.

"So? Are you in, or not?" Joyless questioned impatiently, "if you don't want to do this, I won't force you, I'll just make a call to the poli-"

"Okay! Okay, I'll do it." I blurted out.

Millie, what are doing? Are you sure about this? I thought to myself. Yes. Yes I was. If I don't, then I'll have to say goodbye to freedom, locked up in a musty jail cell.

I got chills just thinking about it. Plus, be Harry Styles's fake girlfriend? Even, if it were fake, who wouldn't want that? AND I get paid, its like killing two birds with one stone!

"Harry, are you okay with this?" Joyless asked.

Harry flashed his pearly whites and replied confidently, "Yes Ma'am!"

"Very good!" Joyless commented, while Harry muttered under his breath, "Like I have a choice."

"Oh yes, so Millie, you'll be following the boys on the road on their tour for most of the time, so as for school, I'll get you a tutor to school you on the road, will your parents be okay with that?"Joyless inquired.

"My parents died when I was young. So yeah, the arrangement's okay."I replied bluntly.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Okay so its set. All the two of you need to do is to sign this contract right here. Oh, and Millie? Please don't tell that loud mouthed friend of yours about this conversation, will you? No one can know about this."

What? How was I supposed to keep such a huge secret from my best friend? We were best friends. We never kept anything from each other. But then again, for the sake of our freedom, I had to do this. I'm sorry, Sarah, I really really am.

I sighed."Okay."

"Good. Thank you." answered Joyless, as she handed me the contract to sign on.

As soon as I handed the signed contract back to Joyless, she extended her skinny arm, offering her hand.

"Welcome to the Modest! Management family, Millie. Its a pleasure to have you on board with us."

A pleasure? Joyless didn't sound pleased. Ah well, that's Frowny Woman Joyless for you, ladies and gentlemen.

"Thank you for having me. When do I start?" I inquired, shaking Joyless's hand.

"Right now."
