I walked down the stairs and saw him standing there. Don’t freak out! You’re going to be fine.

“Hey Sydney!” He called from the entryway.

What do I say? What do I do? “Hello.” He walked over and leaned in for a kiss. I turned my head at the last minute and he ended up kissing my cheek. He pulled away and looked confused. “I’m feeling a bit sick and don’t want you to get sick.” Oh my gosh! That sounded so fake! He’s never gonna believe me!

“Oh… ok… The Limos in the driveway.”

“Oh yeah… we better go.”

“Yep.”

We began walking outside towards the limo. He opened the door for me like a gentleman. Awww, how sweet. I hopped in and hoped this would soon be over. He entered the limo and it took off. I squeezed my eyes shut hoping that this was just a dream and I would wake up soon.

“Sydney, are you feeling okay?”

“Um no. I’m sick as I said before.”

“Oh right.”

We sat there in silence the rest of the ride. I just stared forward hoping that he wouldn’t try to talk. The limo pulled to a stop. “Here we are.” The driver stated. Harry got out first and held the door open for me. He took my hand as I exited the limo. There we flashing lights everywhere, I could barely see. One of the interviewers walked over.

“So Sydney, how was the filming of this movie?”

“It was fun. I made a lot of friends on set and the Director was amazing.” I said quickly.

“Come on! I want you to meet the boys!” Harry said while grabbing my hand and pulling me forward. He pulled to a stop as soon as 4 boys came into view.

“Harry!” The one with the straight brown hair and blue yes said loudly.

“Hi guys. This is Sydney!”

“Sydney? The Sydney?” Louis asked astonished. He leaned in and whispered something in Harry’s ear.

“I know but I’m going to give her one more chance.” I managed to make out.

“Harry! We talked about this! No more chances.”

“But Boobear! Not today! I don’t want to ruin the night! It’s her big premiere!”

 “So Sydney what was the cast like?” An interviewer asked me from behind.

I spun around. “Oh! They were really nice and I made great friends with Lucy who played my best friend in the movie.”

“Thank you.” She walked off. I turned back around to face Harry and maybe eavesdrop on the rest of his and Louis’s conversation but they had finished talking. Louis had already left for the theater so it was just Harry waiting for me.

“Ready to go?” He asked.

“Yes.” I said taking his arm that he had offered. We had begun walking towards the entrance of the theater. He must be planning to break up with me, I mean her. I can’t let him I have to get him to like me! After the movie, I decided I’ll convince him to like me. But how? I can’t think about this now.

We took our seats in the theater just as the lights dimmed. Whew! Now I have an excuse not to talk to him for 2 hours. I leaned over to get my drink and ended up knocking m purse onto the ground. Crap! I leaned down to pick it up.

“Converse.” Harry said.

I looked up at him. “Come again?”

“You’re wearing converse.” I glanced down at my feet. I must have moved my skirt a little while trying to get my purse revealing my black and white converse.

“Oh! You weren’t supposed to see that! I just can’t stand heels! I always fall so I changed my shoes while my mom wasn’t looking so I wouldn’t embarrass myself more than I already was going to.”

“We match.” He said while gesturing towards his white converse.

The movie began.  The first scene was playing, the one where Lucy and I were supposed to be really serious. I giggled thinking about how many takes it had taken for us to get serious.

“What?” Harry nudged me.

“Well when we were filming this it took so many takes to get it right. We kept cracking up! And when we had finally become serious Jeff’s prank went off.”

“What?”

“Jeff had been planning this huge prank. See that fireplace over there?” I asked him pointing to it on the screen.

“Yes.”

“Well this whole load of slime was supposed to come out of it once we finished the take but somehow it messed up and we were filming. Lucy and I were in the middle of this really emotional scene where we figured out my older brother had died and all of this slime just bursts out from the fireplace. It was really funny.” By that time I was trying so hard not to laugh that my sides ached. I could tell Harry was suppressing laughter as well.

The night went on like that with me telling him all of these crazy stories from behind the scenes, so when the lights came back on I was actually disappointed for the night to end. He grabbed my hand to help me up and lead me outside. Louis soon joined us.

“What was so funny?” He asked.

“Sid was just telling some funny stories from behind the scenes.” We burst out laughing again. “I’ll tell you some later, mate.” He reassured Louis. Louis looked happy to be let into the circle.

“Ok. See you at the house.”

“Yeah. Okay.”  He left looking for the rest of the guys.

“Do you guys live together?” I asked.

“Yeah.”

“All of you?” I asked.

“No just Louis and I.” He burst out laughing.

“What?”

“Your eyes they were huge!”

He opened the door to the car for me and I got in happily. We laughed the whole way back to the house and he walked me to my door.

“What to go get lunch with me tomorrow?” He asked.

“Sure.” I smiled really big.

“See you then.”

“Goodnight.”

“Goodnight.”  He walked back to the limo.

I opened the door, climbed the stairs and collapsed onto my bed. Maybe he wasn’t like what everyone said. Maybe he was different.
