Candice's POV

I hung up the phone call and rushed to take a shower. I was very much tired of staying up all night. Without even looking in the mirror, I could tell that the bags under my eyes were certainly bigger and I looked like a zombie. And my runny nose was a cherry on the cake.

I decided put in a little effort in getting ready today. So I picked out my favourite black sweatshirt which read "Teenage Runaway" and paired it with black skinny jeans and white sneakers.

I planned to straighten my hair today and let them loose. I applied a little bit basic makeup, being foundation and a bit of eyeliner and mascara. It definitely helped me escape my zombie look.

I took a last glance at myself in the mirror and I felt happy. I went downstairs to be greeted by Liam.

"Good Morning Candy. You look really nice today. You should tame your hair that way often. By the way, here's your breakfast. And I have to go to meet Sophia today, so I won't be home until evening. Is that okay with you?"

Sophia was Liam's girlfriend. And I know after our mom's death, he hadn't met her properly because he was always busy looking after me and I didn't want him to feel burdened by my presence, though I know he wouldn't ever feel that way.

"Of course Liam. I'm not a kid. I can look after myself."

"No matter how much you grow, you'll always be my little sister and I love looking after you. Anyway I have leave now, you have a fun day at school baby girl." He hugged me and kissed my forehead.

He left and I was having my breakfast when I heard a car honking. It was Harry.

I got into his car and sat in the passenger seat. I looked at him and I burst out laughing. His nose was red and his eyes were watery.

"Someone had fun getting wet in the rain last night, I see."

"So did you. Look at your nose, all runny." He laughed.

"It's gonna be a lazy day." I sighed, feeling tired.

"We can have a lazy yet chill day, if you want."

"And what do you mean by that?"

"I mean we can just skip school and have fun all day. Or a chill day at my place."

"Sounds super fun to me."

"Yayy!! Then let's go to my place."

We drove to Harry's place. When we reached, I was amazed. It was a huge house, more like a mansion. And it was so beautiful. We stepped inside and describing it as beautiful was an understatement. It was so luxurious on the inside.

I snapped out of my amazement when Harry called out for his mom.

"What's the matter Harry? Aren't you supposed to be at school? " A lady came out.

" Mom, this is Rose. She's my friend and we decided to skip school and have a chill day."

"Oh hello Rose. It's a pleasure meeting you. You're really pretty."

"Thanks a lot Mrs. Styles. It's a pleasure meeting you too."

"Ohh just call me Anne. Come have breakfast with us, I just made pancakes."

All three of us were having breakfast and it was delicious, when a girl who seemed just a little elder than me, stepped out of one of the rooms with bed hair.
