One Step Closer (Sequel to OSAAT)

Chapter One

It was about six in the morning when I woke up. I was waiting for my alarm clock to ring when I realized I wouldn't be taking morning classes this year. This is absolutely amazing! I mean I love school and all, but I'm tired. I was then pulled out of my thoughts of no more morning classes when my friend screamed my name as she ran toward me.

"ROSE, GET YOUR LAZY BUM OUT OF BED! IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF OUR SOPHOMORE YEAR!" Ali said jumping on my bed.

"Oh, please. It's six in the morning! Why are you even up?! Oh and again, don't call me by my middle name! I despise it and you know it." I said staring at my best friend.

"But Rosette! I need to make sure that we are ready today!" she said looking at me.

"Rosette? Again, seriously?" Right as I spoke, a picture frame fell from the wall and I looked back at Ali. "Maybe we should fix everything in our dorm first."

"Rosette is interesting! You must admit. And I give up on that picture." she said and looked behind her. I laughed a little and looked at my phone. "Did the amazing Louis Tomlinson text you!?"

"Yeah... last night." I said and sighed. "If I text him now he probably won't answer. I'm sure they are busy."

"Well, Niall is texting me back so I think you're good." she said and I smiled. I texted Louis quickly and got out of bed.

Ali and I shared the biggest dorm in our dorm building. We were pretty lucky. It was practically a small apartment. Louis texted me back and we texted back and forth for awhile but he had to go and so did Niall. After Louis told me he had to go, I took a shower and got dressed. All I had today was an acting class. So, pretty much I'd just be laughing with Ricky and Jack the entire class. Luke was in our classes too, but apparently he is sick, so he wouldn't be going today.

"So are you ready to walk in that boot all day?" Ali asked me and I groaned a little.

"I only have one class, so I guess I'll be fine." I said and she nodded grabbing her bag.

"Well, it's almost 10:30... my first class is at noon and I promised Kylie a breakfast." she said and looked at her phone.

"Well, alright. Have a nice day with your four classes." I said and stuck my tongue out at her.

"Have fun with your one. I have Kylie and you have Jack and Ricky." she said and laughed a little.

"Well, I only have one class, I still win." I said and looked down at my phone.

"Whatever loser. Bye, love you." Ali said and hugged me.

"Love you too, honeybun!" she laughed and walked out of our room. I grabbed my backpack and made sure I had all the books I would need for my other classes. I don't need to take my backpack for my acting class... it's literally just people reading skits my teacher wrote and making out. My teacher is a hopeless romantic... it's sorta scary. I've had to kiss almost every guy in my class, but as long as I get a good grade... I guess.

Okay, that sounded really creepy.

There was a knock on my door and went to the door and opened it.

"Oh.. hi. I thought you were "sick"," I said to Luke and he sneezed. "Ew."

"Sorry. I uh, I'm a little sick." he said and I nodded. He came inside and I closed the door.

"Why did you come over here?" I asked him and he shrugged.

"Ricky and Jack left without making food. Will you make me food?" he asked me and I rolled my eyes.

"You came all the way over here for food? I have to leave soon." I said and he made a puppy dog face.

"Can't you be sick too? Please?" he said holding out the 'e' and I shook my head. "Well, you can be sick or you can go makeout with people while you're dating that one guy."

"Well, he's been an actor. He knows that it's acting." I said and walked to the kitchen area of Ali and I's room. One good thing about having the biggest room: We have our own kitchen and everyone else has to share.

"But Lauren!" he said and picked me up from the back. "You need to take care of sick Luke! He won't get better if you let him die."

"Luke. I need to go to class." I said and he sighed, but put me down. "Ricky is suppose to pick me up, when did Jack and him leave?"

"Like ten minutes ago. They said they were going to get food."

"Why didn't they take me?" I asked and he shrugged. I went back to my bed and grabbed my phone and I had two texts from Ricky and one from Jack. "Oh, I need to go." I said and Luke groaned.

"I'm hungry!" he said and I looked at him.

"You can stay here and cook something or you can go back and not eat, but I need to go." I said and grabbed my purse. I slipped some sandals on and walked toward the door. Luke grabbed my wrist and I turned back to him. He kissed me on the cheek, a little to close to my lips for my comfort and smiled at me.

"Have a good day, I won't try to use all of your food." he said and I smiled a little.

"I will... and try not to like die on my floor, okay?" I said and he nodded. I smiled and walked out of the room, wiping my cheek. I got down to the first floor and waved at Jules. She waved back at me and I walked out and saw Ricky's car. I got into the passengar seat and smiled at him.

"Why does she always get shotgun? I'm older!" Jack said from the backseat. "Are you in love with her?! I KNEW IT!"

"Would you shut up? She is just prettier to look at." Ricky said and Jack gasped.

"That was so rude! I bet Tyler Oakley would disagree!" Jack said and I laughed.

"I think Tyler Oakley would rather date me then date you..." I said.

"That was a good one! We're rubbing off on you!" Ricky said and I laughed.

"That was rude. But, Ricky is right, that was a good one. But it isn't true." he said and I laughed a little. "I'm not looking forward to seeing Mrs. Clooney." Jack said and I nodded.

"Are we even sure there is a Mr. Clooney? Because I mean... she's obsessed with George Clooney..." I said and looked at Ricky.

"No, there is. His name is George Clooney..." Ricky said and I raised my eyebrow.

"She only married him so she could say 'Oh, this is my husband! George Clooney!' or 'I'm married to George Clooney'," Jack said and I tried not to laugh.

"Poor George." I said and Ricky laughed a little and I looked out the window.

"Well, Lauren might be Mrs. Tomlinson... but it will actually be the real Louis Tomlinson." Jack said and I looked back at him. "Oh my god! Your babies are going to be so cute! Wait, are you going to live in America or England?! Am I ever going to see you again?! LAUREN! I'm going to miss you!" he said and I looked at him.

"Please, stop." I said and he laughed. Ricky pulled into the parking lot closest to the building we have class in and we got out. After we all got out, Ricky gave me a piggyback ride so I wouldn't have to walk so much on my foot.
