Unexpected Love

Chapter 1: "I don't have a chance.."

Chapter 1

AMANDA’S P.O.V.

“Okay, you have to promise to let me read you and Niall’s conversations once we get to your house.” Athena said. I had just picked her up from the airport, and we were currently driving home.

Athena was visiting me for 2 weeks from California, which included a One Direction concert this Friday, which we scored Ultimate VIP tickets for. “Ahh, I don’t know, we do have some interesting conversations..” I laughed. Athena hit me, “You promised!” She exclaimed. “I was kidding! Of course you can read them! We need to decode everything like all us teenage fangirls do!” I said, as we pulled into my apartment complex.

“This looks nice” Athena said, as we pulled into my driveway.

“Welcome to Apartment B34, where you will be staying for the next 2 weeks.” I said. We walked on the sidewalk leading to my front door.

I take pride in my apartment. I just finished my senior year in high school, and I was going to take a year off of school before heading off to Boston University for medicine. For now though, I had my own little apartment.

I opened the door, and stepped into my still new doorway. “Wow, this is actually really nice!” Athena exclaimed. “Well, what were you expecting? A shack?” I giggled. After I gave her a tour, I showed her the room where she would be staying. It was a pretty good sized room, with a queen bed, which was apparently the first thing Athena saw, because she dropped everything she was carrying and jumped on it. “I love big beds.” She said, her words muffled into the blankets. “Not as much as you love Harry!” I laughed. “Speaking of which, let me read your dm’s with Niall! I’ve been thinking about them for the past week!” Athena exclaimed, climbing off the bed. “Don’t you want to unpack first?” I asked. “Are you kidding? I have 2 weeks to unpack! Give me your computer!” She almost screamed. “Athena! I have neighbors!” I said, laughing. “But..okay...” I walked towards the den, Athena behind me. I grabbed my macbook, typed in my password, and opened twitter.

Niall followed me a few months ago, and after not recovering for a few days, I dm’d him a thank you. To my shock, and everyone else I told, he dm’d me back and ever since we’ve been talking. Athena was convinced that we were meant for each other, but I didn’t believe it. Why would a conversation on twitter suddenly determine our fate? I opened our dm’s, and handed my laptop to Athena. As she scrolled, she asked, “Does he know we’re coming Friday?” “No, I haven’t told him yet, should I? Or should I surprise him?” “I think you should tell him. Has he seen a picture of you before?” She asked. “Yeah, he’s seen a few.” “Awww, he called you beautiful!” She gushed, still reading. “Shut up, he probably says that to every girl. They have a whole song about it anyway.” I replied, shaking the comment off. “Oh my God, you guys are so meant for each other. Seriously, when we meet them Friday, you guys are going to hit it off, I can so tell.” Athena said when she finished reading. “Athena, I have no chance. I’m a random girl from Michigan, he’s part of the biggest boyband in the world. I’ll be surprised if he even recognizes me.” “At least tell him we’re coming. You never know.” She assured. “Fine. But I’m not getting my hopes up, and you shouldn’t either.” I said.

I took the computer from her, and typed, “Heyy, guess what? My friend and I got VIP for your concert in Detroit Friday, we’ll finally meet! ;)” “There. Send. You happy?” I finished, setting my computer down. “How about you go unpack, and then we go to the mall and shop for our concert outfits.” “Yes! I’ll be right out!” Athena exclaimed. I swear, as she ran down the hall, I heard her singing “Amanda and Niall sittin in a tree.” But maybe that was my imagination.

**********End of Chapter 1************

Sooo..that's chapter 1! What did you guys think? I'll definitely take suggestions, but I'm already on Chapter 3! The chapters in this fanfic will more than likely be on the shorter side, but there may be a few long ones.

This story is inspired by a dream I had a couple of nights ago, and Athena in the story is actually a real person, she's my best friend.

What do you think will happen next? Let me know your predictions! ;)

Thanks for reading!
