(Kelsey's POV:)

"Guys, this is my boyfriend Louis." Eleanor said. Louis smiled and threw his arm around her shoulders.

"Hi, I'm Sammy." Sammy said shaking his hand. He smiled and nodded. I can not believe this. Eleanor is dating Louis Tomlinson. THE Louis Tomlinson. Like, the one from one direction. She didn't even tell us until now?!

"Hello." Louis said, making me jump. He stuck out his hand for me to shake it. I grabbed his hand and shook it while smiling like an idiot.

"What's your name?" He asked politely.

"Right!" I said still smiling. "I'm Kelsey."

"Nice to meet you two. Eleanor talks about you guys a lot!" Louis said laughing.

I looked over at the rest of the boys who were standing a few feet away talking.. Harry was wearing a pair of dark skinny jeans and a black t-shirt with matching black boots. Zayn was wearing a dark grey t-shirt with a black leather jacket and ripped up skinny jeans. Liam was wearing a dark grey t-shirt and a faded pair of jeans. Niall was wearing a purple shirt that had a big smiley face on it, and a pair of black skinny jeans. Louis was wearing a a red and white striped shirt with grey skinny jeans. They all looked completely amazing. When I was 14 I was totally obsessed....well still am, but not AS obsessed. And OH MY GOSH THEY ARE SO MUCH CUTER IN PERSON!!! Whew, ok got that out.

"Should we sit down?" Eleanor suggested. We all took our seats and scanned the menus. Half of the things one the menu I didn't even know how to pronounce!

"I'm starving!" Niall announced. I chuckled a little to myself, knowing Niall was always "starving". I glanced over at Sammy, and saw that she wasn't even starstruck a little. She seemed completely normal, and had calm conversation with the other boys.

"Do you guys eat here much?" She asked Zayn.

"Sometimes. Mainly whenever Louis wants to see Eleanor." Zayn answered, setting down his menu.

"Any suggestions on what to get?" She asked Niall.

"Basically... Everything." Niall answered, shrugging. She laughed lightly at his comment, and went back to scanning her menu. HOW IS SHE NOT FREAKING OUT?!?!

"Kelsey, right?" Harry said, turning to me.

"Uh... I'm... Um... Yes?" I stuttered. He laughed at my nervousness, and I could feel my cheeks heat up like a freaking bonfire on my face.

"Struggling to choose what to eat?" He asked. I was clutching to menu so tightly, my knuckles were turning white.

"Yeah." I said, relaxing a little.

"Pick the Alfredo Fettuccine. It's great." He said, going back to his own menu. I decided to just go with spaghetti, because I was a little nervous to try the Alfredo Fettuccine. To begin, I don't even know what "fettuccine" is.

"So what brings you girls to London?" Louis asked.

"Wait, how do you know we're not from here?" I asked.

"The accents kinda give it away, love." Liam said, laughing. The others laughed a little, and I blushed like crazy.

"We're here for college. London University, actually." Sammy responded. Liam nodded approvingly.

"What are you going to college for?" Harry asked.

"Acting." I told them. "We're in the new movie with El."

"Oh, that's really cool." Louis said, smiling. I nodded and took a sip of my water. It suddenly felt like one hundred degrees in there.

"I'm going to go get some fresh air. Sammy, would you join me?" I said, standing up from the table. She slowly followed me out the doors, and back into the regular restaurant. I kept walking until I was finally outside.

"What's up?" Sammy said, once we were outside in private.

"I don't even know how to talk to them!" I exclaimed.

"You're doing fine." She assured me. But knowing Sammy, she was probably just saying that to make me happy.

"No I'm not. I stutter, and I blush." I said. "How do you keep your cool?!"

"I'm just a cool person." Sammy said, with a smirk. I rolled my eyes, and she laughed. "Kidding. I just remember they're normal people. Besides, I'm not obsessed with them like you." She began to walk back inside.

"I'm not obsessed!" I yelled after her.

"Mhm. Okay." She yelled back, and entered the building.

She left me outside, alone. You'd think I'd be the one that WANTED to be in there, but honestly, I felt like I was gonna pee my pants if I entered that room again. I sighed, just thinking about it. They're just all so dang attractive.

I began my slow walk to the door, feeling engulfed by my thoughts. I pushed it open, and was welcomed by the smell of delicious food. I walked straight into the private room, with a new sense of confidence. If Sammy can do this, I can do this.

I returned to my spot at the table, and began sipping out of my water. All of the awkwardness seemed to wash away, as if it had faded.

"You okay?" Liam asked.

"Yeah. Of course!" I replied, flashing him a smile. He smiled back, and returned to his previous conversation with Louis.

"Food's here!" Niall shouted, when the waitress entered. She carried trays of all of our orders, and brought them swiftly over to our table. Niall eagerly grabbed his, and the rest of us did the same. I hadn't realized how hungry I was until the food showed up. I chowed down on my spaghetti, and the others did the same with their meals. When everyone was finished, we began to chat.

"Do you girls play any sports?" Louis asked.

"I'm a swimmer, and I play volleyball." I said, shrugging.

"Softball and soccer." Sammy said, without thinking. "I mean, football. Or whatever." They laughed.

"What position?" Niall asked, suddenly finding interest.

"Midfield." Sammy replied.

"Nice." Niall complimented, smiling. Sammy smiled back, and fiddled with her hair a little. Was she... Flirting? No way. Sammy Lewis. Flirting? No.... Maybe...

"What are your characters in the movie?" Harry asked.

"We're just extras." I said with a laugh.

"I'm the girl at the coffee shop, and Kelsey's the girl on the sidewalk." Sammy said, laughing. They all laughed along.

"Yeah. We're not that good." I said, shrugging.

"Yes you are!" El defended. "You guys are only extras because you're only in college."

"Mhm. Okay. Let's go with that." Sammy said, sarcastically. We all laughed, once again. When the laughter died down, a comfortable silence fell between us all.

"It's getting late. I should probably drive you girls back to your dorm." El said, earning a pout from Sammy and I.

"Awww. Do we have to?" I whined. Eleanor nodded, sadly.

"We could drive them back." Liam suggested.

"We could even walk!" Niall said, excitedly.

"Well it's only a few miles. We could probably make it back before 11..." I said, checking the time. It was only 9. We had two hours.

"Let's go." Zayn said, deciding.

"Eleanor and I are going to drive." Louis said, linking arms with El. She blushed and smiled.

"Okay. Suit yourselves." Niall said, shrugging.

"I have my car here, anyways." Eleanor explained.

We all nodded, and started for the door. This was going to be fun.
