It's been two days since the girls told me about Niall Horan. I wasn't really freaked out like the rest of the people at our school. There wasn't anything anyone could do. "Star?" I heard a familiar voice call through out my empty house. "Louis?" I asked walking down the stairs. There Louis was standing by my open door. "Hey." I smiled at him. He looked, nervous? "Hey." He said his voice soft. I got down from the last step and asked, "What are you doing here?" I didn't say it rude, just curious. "I was wondering...um...do...do you...do you know how a girl likes to be asked out?" He stuttered a bit and looked at me. I don't know why but I felt, jealous? Louis' a fit boy, well man. He's handsome, of course he wouldn't like her. "Um I don't know Louis. I've never been asked out so I'm not the one you should be asking. Try Amber and Sofia. I've got to go back upstairs. I have homework to do, and I don't feel well." I said and turned. I ran up stairs and I held back my tears. "Star?" Louis' said yelled, footsteps on the stairs. "Star, open the door." He said as he tried to open my door. I had locked it and was sitting at the bottom of the door. "Go away Louis! I'm not feeling well." I told him, my tear threatening to spill over. I kept my voice even, as if this wasn't killing me on the inside. "Then let me help you." He said, he stopped trying to get in my room and he was standing there. "I'm fine, Louis. Just something I ate. Please leave." I said, fake coughing. Hoping he'd go away. "Call me if you need anything, Love." He said, defeated and I heard him walking down the stairs. I got up and cracked my door open, I looked down the stairs, just in time to see him leaving and shutting the door. I collapsed on the ground and cried. Who was I kidding? Thinking Louis William Tomlinson would actually like me, Star Rebecca Styles, the school nerd. I must've passed out because the next thing I remember was the ground by my bedroom door.

"Lads look at her. She's so pale, for her." I heard a voice say, Harry. "She told me she didn't feel well earlier." I heard a soft voice say, Louis. "You were here earlier?" Harry asked, his voice held shock, with anger? "Yea. I thought you were home." Louis' voice lied. "Well I wasn't." Harry's voice said. "Guys shut up. I think she's coming around." Zayn voice said. I opened my eyes and blinked a bit. They were all in my room. I was in my bed? "Hey Star, how are you feeling?" Liam asked, speaking for the first time since I've been awake. "Like an 18 wheel ran me over." I whispered. Liam smiled and hugged me. I hugged him back, putting my face in his neck, he smelled like Liam. He always smells the same, like coffee and some kind of flower. "Well I've got to get going." I heard Zayn say. I waved to him, not trusting my voice. He waved back and left. "Me too, Lads. I'll see you guys tomorrow at school. My mums' taking me to school so don't wait." Louis said and left. Then Harry left, walking the guys out. "What really happened?" Liam asked once Harry was out of ear shot. He knew me to well. He also knew I had a thing for Louis. "He asked me how to ask a girl out." I said wiping the tear that had come from my eyes. Liam's features softened as he hugged me tighter. "I was stupid to think he actually liked me." I whispered to Liam. He took a deep breath and said, "Well, don't worry about it. He's a stupid boy who doesn't know what he's missing. Get some rest Love. We've got school in the morning." He kissed my forehead and left. I heard him telling Harry I was asleep. I smiled and thanked Liam mentally, cause Harry would've come back up here and questioned me about Louis. I closed my eyes and went to sleep.

I woke up and looked at my clock. I was ten minutes late. I hurried up getting dressed.

(Outfit up top)

I slipped on my red converses and ran outside, my book bag was in Harry's car. It was raining. "Great." I said. I was stuck walking to school. I ran for about two minutes, then deciding it's safer to walk. I sighed and walked fast. I heard a car pulling up and it honked. I turned to look over my shoulder. I kept walking, Harry said I shouldn't talk to strangers. I played with the ring on my finger, it had an anchor on it. It was my favorite ring, my mother gave it to me when I was smaller. Then the car pulled up beside me and someone said, "Need a ride to school?" I didn't recognize the accent. So I looked at the driver. He looked familiar and I said, "Why?" He looked out at the sky and said, "Well it's raining. You're far to pretty to be walking in the rain." I don't know why but I blushed and asked, "Are you going to the high school?" He nodded and said, "Yeah. Need a ride?" I don't know why but I went around and got in his car. "What's your name Love?" He asked as he drove to the school. "Star." I answered in a quiet voice. "Well Star, you sure are stupid to get in a car with a complete stranger." I looked at him and said, "Yes. I know. I hope to not regret it either. Could you please drive a bit faster, I don't want to be too late to my class." To my surprise he laughed and sped up a bit. "I see, you're one of those girls who doesn't have many friends and you're in all honors classes. Am I right?" I stared at him and asked, "Is it that obvious?" He just smiled like he won a prize.

He finally got to the high school and I asked, "What's your name?" He looked at me and said, "Niall Horan. Now, have a good day, Star." I got out of the car when he parked and I ran to the school, cause I didn't need to be covered in rain, well, more than I already am. "Ms. Styles you're late. Is there a reason?" My first period teacher asked me raising a brow. I was about to answer when someone said, "It would be my fault Mrs. Jones. She was walking all alone in the rain, so I just had to help her." I turned around to see Niall. "I see. Ms. Styles, is this true?" She looked at me in disbelief. I nodded as I looked at the ground. "Well. Take a seat." her voice answered. "Yes ma'am." I mumbled and sat down in my usual seat, I always sat by myself in the back. Then the chair was puled out beside me. I looked to see, Niall, I wasn't surprised. "What are you doing? Stalking me?" I asked under my breath. "No. I just happened to have the same first period." He answered, his voice held some kind of emotion I couldn't quite make out. "Hmm." I responded. I tried to concentrate on what Mrs. Jones was saying, but everything she said, Niall made a remark, causing people to laugh, and him get detention. Great, and today also happened to be the day I have detention duty.

*** TWO WEEKS LATER ***

I was stuck in the rain again, same as last week. Niall took me to school as well, again. I was going to rub it in Harry's face when I saw him. "Star!" I heard when Niall and I, well me but Niall behind me, walked out of first period. "Hey Harry!" I said, barely looking at him. "Hey I thought you-" He started I cut him off and said, "Well, you know thanks for waking me up. I had to walk this morning, well half way walk." I added, knowing it gets on his nerves. "What do you mean 'half way'?" He asked as I walked to my locker. "I got a ride." I shrugged, completely aware of Niall walking behind us, in ear shot. "With who? No one likes you enough to give you a ride." Harry said harshly. I turned to look at him. "How dare you. Why would you say that? Harry? I knew it. You really hate me don't you? You really want to make my life a living hell. You want me dead just like Gemma." I asked him, tears in my eyes. "Star I-" I cut him off by saying, "Save it Styles." Then I walked away from him. Tears already coming out of my eyes. I walked out of the school. It was grey and still raining. I decided to walk home. I was about a mile from the school when a car pulled up. I looked over and saw Niall's car. Is he freaking stalking me? I thought to myself. "Get in." He said from the drivers seat, his window down so he could talk. "No." I said and kept walking. I was drenched in rain, so he couldn't tell I was crying. I walked a bit, before I heard any movement. Then I didn't hear the car anymore. Then my hips were grabbed. I was spun around. I looked into Niall's blue eyes. I hadn't noticed before, but his eyes were beautiful. "Why didn't you get in the car?" He asked, not demanding but curious. I also noticed he got a new tattoo. It was on his neck. It was an anchor. Like the one on my ring, but it had a string on it. "I didn't want to." I answered looking up from his neck and into his eyes. "Why?" He asked, his hands on my hips and my hands on his chest. To be honest, I really liked the way I felt in his arms. "I like walking in the rain." I answered looking around, to make a point he was standing here, holding me, in the pouring rain. "Why?" He asked again. His hand tightened on my hips. "I don't want to tell you." I said in a shaking voice. "Why not? Don't you trust me?" He asked me, his grip loosening a bit. I looked up and said, "I do. It's just... fine I'll tell you." I said, I couldn't tell him no and look into his eyes at the same time. He smiled and his grip returned. "I like to walk in the rain, so people don't see me cry." I said in a small voice. I looked at my hands, which were on his chest. "Why are you crying Star?" I heard him whispered. I looked up at him. I was about to answer when a very familiar car pulled up. Then they got out.
