The cold water massages my scalp. The water splashes on my face and I smell the great sent of

lavender lathered into my hair.

"Thank you so much for bringing me here!" I say to Claire while I sit up and let a tall skinny

brunette towel dry my hair.

"No Problem Lia, you defenitly deserve it, I mean your graduating in a week!"

Claire puts on the biggest smile, and I just wanna grab her and give her the biggest hug.

I finally realize how lucky I am. I am sitting in a beautiful hair salon in England with the best

friend I could ever ask for. I am graduating NYU in a week.

"Lia quit daydreaming, we have to leave"

"Oh sorry I was just, erm..."

"Don't worry about it, I get it, your taking in how amazing your life is" Claire says.

Wow, she really knows me too well.

"Are you kidding me, my life is not perfect. But yes it is pretty good so far" I blurt out, wow I

should really keep my mouth shut.

" Well ya, I know how much Louis ment to you and it took a big impact on your life, oh shit, I'm so

sorry. It just slipped out"

"It's okay, I mean it was a year ago."

"I'm sorry. We should leave now, our plane leaves for New York in four hours" I say. I don't know

if I sounded rude there but Claire really shouldn't have brought that up.

We pay and leave the salon in less than five minutes.

" That was a very fun week, don't you think Claire?" Okay ya. I am trying to change the topic.

"Of course, haha I just wish the hotel was a abit further away so we would have a reason to walk

around England for longer"

After a ten minute walk, me and Claire reach our hotel room. I unlock the door and head straight

to take a shower. I am very cautious and only rinse out my body, making sure my perfectly curled

hair is dry. The warm water lathers my skin and i relax in the shower until I'm interrupted by

Claire's voice.

"Seriously Lia, we are literally leaving in ten minutes" Claire yells.

Shit. I take too long to get ready.

"Oh my god, sorry I was taking advantage of the time" I step out of the shower and dry myself and

luckily I have already prepared the clothes I am wearing. I am pretty lucky I'm a well organized person.

"I'll be out in a minute" I shout back to Claire in case she went back to her room.

No answer from Claire. Well I should have expected it, she does get annoyed too easily sometimes.

Five minutes later I am holding my packed suitcase, clutching my purse and walking through the

hotel room, Incase we forgot anything.

" So your telling me I have to pre pay you" I hear Claire say to the innocent taxi driver

"Fuck off okay, I am doing this job so I can get some money here. Do I look like I would give a shit

about the rules?" Wow, I guess the driver isn't so innocent after all. But he does have a very cute

thick British accent.

" Im paying you and you should not be rude to me, I did nothing to you" Claire is getting annoyed.

"Okay let's just get going" I say, interrupting their little fight

" Fine but I need the money" the man, or more like young adult says

I slap twenty dollars into his hand.

"You can exchange that into pounds yourself and you can keep the change" I say in a very sassy tone.

he smirks at me and turns around to face the stealing wheel.

"We will be driving for one hour, oh ya and my name is Harry, you don't need to know my last name" he says in an even more sassy tone.
