All the Lovely Hopefuls

The Begininng

He opened the gate his raspy voice whispered "where have you been!"

I stared startled and I couldn't move so I just stared, I did something wrong, but what... but this isn't where this story starts. It's where it ends.

This is my life, I am Ally Darcy.

I am from Redditch, United Kingdom. This May seem crazy but I knew Harry Styles. He didn't know me though, I was that girl in the back of the class unnoticed. I stayed that way. He was the daring, cool, popular kid. He was an arrogant know it all. I was the innocent good girl.

I wasn't noticed til Graduation. I was valedictorian and my speech was a new beginning.

"MmmMmm" I coughed, beginning my speech, "I, uh....uh I see everyone today as men and women and people who have grown so far...uh...you may not know me... but uh....uh...I know that each and everyone if you will do great things in life. Once you start college."

In the middle of my sentence people were booing and telling me that I sucked. I saw Harry the tallest one with his curly hair stuck out the most to me. He was screaming at me but I didn't care what he was saying he just looking at him made me cringe.

But I hated him, hated his guts.

I continued, "So what i was saying was that you all with part your own ways and so will, but we will always remember this place and all it holds. So let's celebrate for graduation!" I ended with that and as I threw my hat in the air I looked down and saw Harry staring at me.

Old Mr.Carsen stormed in the room and screamed "THERES A FIRE!"

We all began to scream and run in circles I tried going out the back door pushing and pulling it was locked there was no way out. The front entrance was where the fire was and we couldn't go through. everyone was finding there way out and I was stuck, but no one cared for me I tried but I was trapped. Until a guy pushed the door open and helped me out of the building. I couldn't make out who he was all I heard though was "Come on let's go!"

We got out and our faces were black with ash and I still couldn't figure out who he was. So finally I asked "Who are you?"

He responded "Funny I thought you would know, my question is who are you valedictorian?" as he bowed.

"Get up and answer my question." I demanded.

"I'm Harry" he said "Harry Styles..and you are..."

"Ally, Ally Darcy." I answered.

"Ally that has a nice ring to it Ally." he repeated. I didn't know what it was but I loved hearing him say my name. I hated this kid but he was so popular and cool but he also was arrogant and a know it all. "Hello?" he said.

"OOPS! sorry thanks," I said " I um don't mean to be rude but aren't you that cocky dickhead that everyone loves ?" I pointed out.

"Wow! aren't that sweet innocent girl with a clean mouth." He plowed at me.

"Well, that's true, but..." I stopped.

"But what?" he asked

"Whoa! look at the school!" I pointed out. The school was burning and there was still people in it, kids with lives and futures burning to the ground.

"We gotta run." Harry said. We got in his car and drove away before the fire caught on to the big covering trees next to the school.

This fire spread everywhere in town we managed to get out of town before it got to us. We saw Redditch burn to the ground. I cried. He looked at me and said "It will be rebuilt in no time."

"By who?!" I questioned. "Who is still alive to help us recover?" As I sobbed he sat down beside me and said "I will."

It was sweet but he had college and so did I.

"Thanks but you have other problems and so do I like college." I told him.

"Right, he said where are you going to college."

"A place." I didn't want to get personal with him "how about you?"

"Oh I'm not going to college I have a X-Factor audition." he said spritely.

I didn't even know he sang.

"Oh cool, well thank you for saving me." I said as I walked away.

"Of course," he said as he bowed, "valedictorian."
