The names Alexia. I’m 17 years old and living in London. I don’t actually live here though. I’m only here for the semester. I actually live in the United States with my mom and my little sister, Cody. Three of my friends and I had won a trip here from our high school. Well technically, my friend, Grace had won for being top in the school and I was just lucky enough to be chosen by her to come.
Anyway, I’m on the streets of London in the pouring rain without an umbrella, on the way to the library to finish a report that I have due. Sounds fun right? The rest of the girls are at the movies. I really didn’t want to see a romance movie. I don’t like the lovie-dovie things.
I really don’t like the library either. It’s way too quiet. I’m the party type of girl who just likes to have fun. Not sit at the library! I walk around blindly not knowing exactly where I was going. I had only been here for a week and had gotten some directions from an old lady. She told me to turn right when I got to a McDonalds. I have been walking for like 20 minutes! I stopped and asked for directions from a little girl with an umbrella. She pointed in the direction I had been taking and saw that the McDonalds was right in front of me. I mumbled a thank you and rushed off out of the rain. I walk in not caring to read the ‘quiet’ sign on the glass doors. I immediately walk to the computer section and sit down. I noticed a boy that looked about my age across from me. He had messy brown hair and blue eyes. I recognized him but I didn’t know why. Besides, how would I know anybody here? I finished up my research that I needed to do, then stared at him for a couple more minutes before getting up and walking up to him. I have to admit he was pretty cute too!
“Hey, do I know you?” I asked. Stupid question right? Of course not! Well, he did seem very familiar.
He looked confused. “Er…”
“Well I just saw you and you looked familiar and I didn’t know why so…”
“Um, I’m Liam.” He said as if it was obvious.
“Wait a second! You’re that guy!”
He laughed lightly. “What guy?”
“You’re all over my little sister’s bedroom wall. She talks about you constantly. What’s your band name again?”
“One Direction.”
“Yeah right.” For some reason I didn’t really feel like I was talking to a celebrity. Probably because I didn’t listen to his music or really care about his band.
“Do you want me to sign something for your sister or something?” He asked awkwardly.
“Actually, I have a better idea.” I took out my cell and dialed my home phone. It rung a couple times and I put it on speaker.
“Hello?” It was Cody. She looked a lot like me but younger. She was 8.
“Hey Cody. It’s Alex. You know that band you like?”
“One Direction?” she asked excitedly. I could imagine her eyes lighting up.
“Yes. Well I have someone here who wants to talk to you.” Liam looked confused but I shoved the phone in his hand.
“um hi Cody.” He said awkwardly.
“Who is this?” She asked.
“This is Liam from One Direction.” You could hear that Cody had dropped the phone. I heard her pick the phone back up but I knew she was speechless.
“You. You’re… Liam!!!” She shrieked. “I love you! You’re the cutest! Well actually Harry is the cutest. Or maybe Niall! Or Zayn! Or Louis! Or you! Hi!”
