Sometimes we fail to see the world around us and sometimes the world fails to see what we actually want to say.
It happens and moreover it often happens with me.
It was a beautiful summer day. I made my way to the bus stop to see Anna talking with her boyfriebd Steve. From quite a distance too everyone can presume that they both are actually dating.
Yeah they are into each other.
You could never see them apart. Always holding hand and doing all sorts off mushy mushy things which normally couples do.
Anna and I were so called best friends. I though used to think she was my best friend but something happened between us that made me think twice to tag her as my best friend.
In all as you can guess I am not as much of a socialite.
I m pretty plain jane kind of girl.
I have shoulder length brown hair with greenish brow eyes( hard to imagine but believe me its real) and I put on glasses. Yes, yes! I am nerd.
There is nothing special about me except for the fact that I can sing. But now I don't.
Ok lets not bore you with my all-so-sad-story.
Back to Anna who is now standing next to me.
"Penny? Still angry at me or what?" Anna said as Steve left her side and went to talk to his friends.
"Anna, I m not for the last time." I smiled and told her.
Wow! Epic Penelope Winchester. Lying is now you forte it seems.
"I thought you were." Anna is great in showing sympathy,
Anna's sympathy is the last thing I need now.
"Anna I m fine."
The bus halted in front of us and we jumped into it.
It was nearly filled and all students were busy chatting amongst themselves.
"As you say. OK gotta go. See you at school." Anna said and left me to sit with Steve.
Some friend she is.
Anyways I was looking around to see any saet left but found none.
God! Nothing could be better than going to school without having a seat.
What an awesome starting of the day.
Please not the sarcasm.
At St Patricks
I somehow managed to survive to reach to school alive.
God! The bus ride was bumpy and i nearly saved myself from tripping.
As I got out of the bus someone yanked me from behind.
Anna of course!
"You won't believe what Steve told me." She sounded quite excited. When Anna was excited that means it has to something huge.
"What?" I trying to sound as excited as her.
"He asked me to accompany him to the concert of X Factor UK." she said dreamily.
Wait? X Factor UK. Thats one of my favourite shows. And they are having a concert?
Has to be great!
"When is this concert?" I asked as we were walking towards our lockers.
Our school had huge corridors which is usually filled up with students.
We opened our lockers to take out my books.
"23rd September thats.." Anna seemed to be in thought.
"One month from now," I completed it for her.
Anna and her maths. Off topic.
"So he asked me and I said yes." she sounded genuinely happy.
I smiled at her. Sometimes Anna seemed so nice that it was hard for me to be mad at her.
Suddenly the bell rang and verybody started running to their classes.
"OK bye Penny, see you at lunch." And Anna ran off to her class.
I took my book bag and started running towards homeroom, which was my first class.
I wasn't paying attention to where I was going as I knew where homeroom was.
The hall was nearly empty.
"Shit! I m late," I muttered under my breath and started running.
All of a sudden somebody bumped into me and i fell down on the ground with my books everywhere.
I was ready to shout at the person but when I look up I was speechless.
His eyes met mine. He had the most wonderful eyes in the world.
"I m so sorry," he said.
I couldn't speak anything. I was lost in his eyes.
God!!! Penny reply.!
I shook myself back to reality and started gathering my books.
Damn !! Those eyes!!
"I m really sorry!" he said again>
I turned to look at him.
He looked quite apologetic and cute. His black hair was styled quite differently and it seemed he had a certain arrogance in his way of holding in himself.
"Its ok," I said and turned away to run to the class. No way I m going to be late to the first class of my senior year.
I was the last person to enter the class. Miss Spencer didn't say anything to me and just motioned me to sit down at the last bench.
I sat down and looked around to see familiar faces.
Keep your fingers crossed for a normal senior year, I thought to myself.
"Students! Welcome to your senior year." Miss Spencer began.
"This year some new students will join us and I should mention that you all might know them."
Ohhhooo!! Celebs!!
"May we come in?" four male voices from the door way said together.
"Yes yes come in," Miss S told.
As they entered all others in the class gasped.
Four boys of our age entered.
The boy who bumped into me this morning was also there.
He was smiling like the rest of the boys were.
Then it suddenly stuck me.
They were the boys of One Direction.
And the black haired boy was none other than Zayn Malik.
