A.N. Hey guys. Thank you all for being patient with me and my mix up with the whole chapter 2 thing. I'm sorry if you thought that was an actual update. And if it mixed you up. So here is chapter 9. Thank you all soooo much for 80 reads!!! It means the world to me! You are all amazing. So comment what you think of the story and what you want to happen and stuff. Thank you my little dragons!

And p.s. I'm sorry if this sucks. My dad died yesterday and I'm a little out of it. I love you all once again. And this is dedicated to all who have lost someone important to them and to those who have died.

I made a decision. I have thought long and hard about it. I've spent all my life being someone I'm not. Pretending to be perfect for the benefit of two people who barely acknowledge me. I go through everyday being nice to people I loathe, laughing at jokes that aren't even funny, and smiling at jerks. I have to keep my mouth shut when my parents talk behind people's back and act as if they love them when they're around.

I have grown tired of the life I'm living. I have grown tired of all the pretending. I've grown tired of who I am. The thoughts I have, the things I do, the clothes I wear, everything isn't me. I don't like it and I don't want to have to pretend that I do. I've just grown so tired of it all.

I met Louis Tomlinson a month ago. A month is how long I've been thinking about this. Louis changed my thought process about this whole thing. He actually made me rethink my life. He made me question things I wouldn't have questioned before. He literally changed my perspective on things. And I have to admit. He changed them for the better.

Before Louis Tomlinson (and Liam Payne) I never spoke a word to the shunned or rejects. And now look at me! All my friends are exactly that. Well except Liam. He isn't shunned, but he might as well be. He's like me. Other than Liam, Lia is probably my best friend. We've grown really close in the last month. She's changed me too. And like Louis, for the better.

With my new friends I feel so much more alive then I ever have before. It's a lot better than drifting through life being someone who I'm really not. "Going out" with Liam was one great decision and I wouldn't change it even if I could. Now I just have to follow my true feelings.

"I think he likes you," Lia tells me. Liam and Danielle are on a date so I'm hanging out with Lia. I look at her confused.

"Who? Liam? He's in love with Dani," I say. What is she even thinking? I mean, duh.

"No, stupid! Louis! God, I know Liam loves Dani. I'm not an idiot... sometimes," she replies with a light laugh. I laugh too. She's such a weird girl. And I love her...like a sister of course.

"Oh... Oh! No! No way. You must be an idiot if you think that!" I say quickly.

"Nope. I really believe he likes you. I thought you thought the same."

"No. I don't think that at all. There's no way. He'll never like someone like me."

"Someone like you? What's that even supposed to mean?"

"You know... someone of my social status..."

"That's bullshit and you know it. You aren't like those stuck up fakes... No offence."

I laughed. I hate that she's right. "None taken. I know you're right. I'm not the same person as I used to be," I admit.

"Damn straight. Oooh! Maybe when you and Louis get together, we can all quadruple date! And Niall can be the lone ninth wheel!" she says excitedly.

"Awe poor Niall. He needs to get a girlfriend. And Louis and I won't get together!"

"Keep telling yourself that. I bet ten bucks that you two will end up together by the end of the week."
