Vanessa entered Brenton's bedroom for a quick homework session. The other two brunettes decided to treat themselves before battle of the bands. They were having veggie pizza at a fancy diner.

"So... Tell me everything!" Exclaimed Brenton as he took a seat on her bed.

"Where do I start?" Vanessa fanned herself before saying, "It surprised me!" She smiled at Brenton. "At the wedding, The 1975 started playing I pulled Lesley to dance. After a while I started dancing with Harry, which I didn't see it coming." Vanessa took a breath and worked through her homework.

"Whoa!" Brenton exasperated. "Lucky you! Anyway, how do you manage to take four classes, have a job and be in a band? Especially since you're going for pre-med."

"The band is my family. We support each other. We understand that we have our own dreams too. Stephanie wants to be a music teacher, Lesley wants to be a teacher and I, I may still change majors though. I'm still in my second year of uni. I think there're bands like us, hardworking!" Vanessa looked a bit worried that people would think she was working too hard.

"Whoa! What the...? No! You guys should be very proud. Even if you don't make it in the music industry, which I don't see it happening, you guys are a step headed in life. People should know about that, that you girls are not just a band, but strong women working hard."

"Whoa, Brenton! No one has ever spoken about us like that." Vanessa smiled.

"Hey, I'm not the only ones who know it," Brenton rose his eyebrows when Vanessa's phone vibrated.

12:42 PM - Harry S.: Hey! I'm almost there! :)

Vanessa smiled and texted him back.

11:42 PM - You: Good!

She looked at Brenton as he worked hard on his homework, while he sticked his tongue to the side of his lips.

"Are you done integrating?" He took a tiny peek at her solved problem.

"Take a glance while I change quickly," Vanessa handed him her sheet and sprinted to her room. She pulled out her make-up bag to start her natural glow look. After applying black mascara and eyeliner, her eyes seemed to lift-up the mood. There were one of Vanessa's show stoppers.

Moments later Vanessa spoke from her room. "Brenton?"

"Yes, hun."

"You know that we're moving out of the house at the end of term, right?" asked Vanessa, while slipping on black tights.

"Uh-huh!" Brenton was working on his Calculus homework, since he was up to date on girls lives.

"We--I mean... We haven't told you that we're foreign exchange students..."

"I know." Okay, Brenton... Vanessa thought. She was a little bit nervous as she zipped her black dress on.

"After this term finishes, we'll go back to our original uni... In the States." She said, entering his room.

He stopped working on his homework. "Wait!" He caught her brown eyes. "You haven't told Harry about this have you?" His eyebrows were furrowed, as if he was not done working through his homework. Baffled too. He hasn't seen her like that before.

Ring... Ring... Ring... The sound of the house bell sounded off terribly. Vanessa's heart pumped unsteadily, trying to bring more oxygen through her body. She felt excited to see Harry. Harry fucking Styles, the gentleman she fell in love throughout the months.
