When I wake up, I stretch my arms. I probably overslept, but that's because I only fell asleep at two in the morning. I open my eyes and look around. My best friend is sitting on a chair, texting.

"What are you doing here ?" I say as I sit up.  

"Your mom let me in." She locks her phone and puts it in her pocket. "We're hanging out with 1D, Em."  

"Since when ?"  

"Since me and Niall talked. We're going shopping with the best boyband ever !"  

"So you and Niall talked, huh ?" I wiggled my eyebrows.

"Yes." She was indifferent. Okay, she has no feelings for him.

"Whatever, let me get ready." 

"I'll go talk with your mommy !"   I laugh. Eva and mom are so close.

I don't shower, since I did yesterday. I grab a pink one-sleeved t-shirt, skinny jeans and gladiator sandals. I don't want people to look at me. I'm not a slut.

I put my hair up in a ponytail, and put a white hairband with a cute bow on it. I put my lenses on and decide to do a light make-up.  I know, I would never use that two days ago. But I don't want to look like shit in front of One Direction.   When I'm done, I go downstairs, say good morning to my baby sister, my mom and dad. My brother is probably still asleep. Eva is helping my mom cook. I roll my eyes.   

"Ah, you're ready. Let's get going !" She says, excited. I grab an apple and we leave. She drives. Again ! I want a car too.

"Wait. Eva, are we meeting One Direction" I pause, and look at my phone "at 11 in the morning ?"  

"No, we're meeting them in an hour." she says.

"Then why are we already outside ?"

"It's kinda far and there's traffic. And... I wanted to talk to my bestfriend" she replies.

"About what ?" 

"Harry Styles"  

I don't know what to say. Why would she want to talk about him ?  

"Uh.. Why?" I bite my lip  

"Because he obviously has something for you. Did you see that picture ? Em, you have like 15,000 followers !"  

"Hah. They follow me because they want to send me hate."  

"What... Why would they do that ?"   I get my phone, and read her some of my mentions. 

"That's terrible... What kind of person does that..."  

"I don't really care"  

"Liar"  

"Okay, I care. I don't know what I did to them, and it hurts... That half the population hates me because I fainted !"  

"Aww, they'll probably stop in a while." She's trying to cheer me up. "Anyway, that's not what I'm talking about. Look at that picture ! Look how he's looking at you"  

I saved that picture. I don't know why, but I did. For the first time, I really look at his face. His eyes seem closed because he's looking down. He has a small smile on his face. His cute dimples are showing.  

"Eva.. You know Harry Styles." I shake my head. "If what you say is true, he probably wants me for my body, like he wants every other girl. Why would I be different ?"  

She doesn't reply. That means I'm right.  

"And even if he did like me, you know me. I don't date. I don't go out. It's not me"
