[Same day]

Once Stephanie stepped off the sidewalk and onto the street 1D fans came running towards the guys. Cameras flashed, the girls smiled nervously and the paparazzi followed. The girls sprinted to their own cars and the guys followed theirs. Liam yelled at Stephanie to follow his black Honda. She nodded as she closed her door. Vanessa called shot gun and Lesley and Carol sat in the back seats. Carol fumbled around, astonished at the massive attention she was receiving. Stephanie pulled out from parking mode and started to follow Liam's new black Honda Accord.

Vanessa grinned all through the drive to the restaurant. She was thinking of where they were going to eat and how the evening was going to be like. But she still wondered why they had shown up. She decided that it was a question she would be asking later.

Carol tried to make herself presentable. Hands crossed on her lap, neck upright, back straight. Vanessa, Lesley and Stephanie had heard about Carol from Alexia. Carol was one of the editors and writers for the Uni's paper. But they never got the chance to meet her.

As Stephanie drove, she asked Carol how she found them.

Carol replied back with, "I went on to your official web site and saw the dates and locations. I have been waiting to talk to you all for a long time. You're the celebrities of our Uni. It doesn't surprise me that you three hang out with real ones. You have to tell me a lot about yourselves and them. I'm planning on a serious of articles."

"Whoa! Articles?" Lesley asked surprisedly.

"Yeah?"

"First off, that's great news," Stephanie said and Vanessa laughed with excitement.

"But please, if you don't feel comfortable, I understand," pleaded Carol.

"Are you sure you want to write about us. We're not interesting. You can talk to One-"

"I understand you don't want to view yourselves as flabbergasted human beings, but you three are talented!"

"Thank you," gratified Stephanie as she finally parked the car.

"Good!" said Carol, while she unbuckled herself and opened the door.

At first the girls felt concerned that they were starting to get more attention. Was it because of One Direction? Or just the accumulation of their performances and the exposure that made it possible?

After a few moments, the girls headed into an Italian restaurant. They got inside and past the front desk. The five guys grinned at them at the large cherry-wood table.

"They're here! My Summer Sensation!" yelled Niall, almost jumping from his seat.

"I can't believe we're having dinner with them!" added Harry, brushing his hair to the side. It was the first time in a very long time that Harry stopped having his hair up. Vanessa had missed the old him, but yet again she had the chance to meet the new him. Now, it was time to built on their relationship.
