Poppy POV

The next morning i tried a little harder then i normally do, pair a white and black graphic tee with some black shorts, black hightop vans and a jean jacket. i grab my backpack as i say goodbye to Lucy and start my walk to the cafe i"m supposed to meet Harry in.


I get to the cafe before harry so i pick a both near the back and get out some of my homework for my drama class. After about 5 minutes of studying i sense someone sit down across from me, i look up and smile when i see that its Harry. i pull my ear buds out of my ears and close my book.

"are you still in high school?" he asks, "you look much older"

" no i'm in university" i say with a laugh and a shake of my head, Harry chuckles lightly as well. 

"what do you study?" he asks as he pull my book towards him.

"I'm majoring in performing arts at the moment, but if that dosen't go anywhere i might go back and study law" i saw while brush my hair behind my ear. Harry smiles at me.

"I wanted to be lawyer when i was younger" he says, "the thought of helping people and making things right just seemed so perfect to me" he says as he pushed my book back towards me.

"What do you do know then?" i ask, but right before he is able to answer our waitress comes over to us.

"what can i get for you?" she ask's politely while holding her notepad and pen. 

"Umm, ill have a iced Americana with a blueberry muffin please" i asked.

"and ill get the same" harry says. "you like black coffee?" he ask's, looking confused.

"yea, im not a big fan of milk, plus i think it tastes better" i say with a laugh. 

He was about to start talking again when i young girl and her mum came up to us, she looked to be only about 11.

"Hi Harry, can i please get a picture?" she asked, he nods and smiles for the picture her mother took, as the pair walked away i looked at Harry very confused.

"Is there something you're not telling me ?" i ask with my eyebrows furrowed

"You didn't know?" he says with a laugh. "Can we go back to you flat? this is kind of a big deal" he asks looking kind of shy. i nod and start to gather my stuff, while i did that Harry payed for our food. i frown.

"i could've payed for my own you know" i say. he just chuckles and shakes his head.

"i suggest putting on your sun glasses" he says and he grabs my hand. I listen and put them on rather confused. Harry leads me out the door and suddenly all i see are flashing light and alot of voices, im so happy that Harry is still holding my hand or else i might get lost in the crowd. we make it into this big black car and shut the door, I turn and face Harry with a confused face.

"whats your address?" he asks,i tell him and he tells the driver and we are on our way.

"What just happened?" i ask frantically. Harry just looks down at the hands. i decide to wait and ask later.

"We are here" a deep voice says from the driver seat. i look at Harry and grab his hand and pull him out of the car. i punch the code to get in my building and then walk towards the elevator and push the button for my floor and we are on our way. 

Once we get to the door of my flat i can already hear Lucy One Direction music blasting, I unlock the door and step inside. i look back to face Harry and he has a amused look on his face. 

"What?" i ask. But before he can answer i hear a scream and a bang and i look up, and looking over the railing upstairs in Lucy with a shocked look on her face.

"Y-y-y-y-your Harry Styles!" she shouts jumping up and down. I turn back to face Harry as Lucy runs down the stairs. i walk behind him and shut and lock the door. when i turn back around Lucy is hugging Harry so hard i think he is struggling to breathe. I laugh to myself as i put my keys on the table next to the door. 

"Care to explain?" i ask. 

"How about i tell you somewhere more, private" he says while looking down at Lucy who is still clinging to his chest. i laugh and nod, pulling him away from Lucy and upstairs to my bedroom. As i close the door i turn to face him.

"explain" i simply state as i sit next to him on my bed. Harry takes a deep breathe in before clasping his hands together.

"when i was 16 i auditioned for X-Factor and i got eliminated after boot-camp, but as a life line i got put into a boy band with 4 others called and we became One Direction" he starts, but right after he says the words One Direction my mouth drops open and i stop him.

"I knew you looked familiar!" i almost shout, "Was the rest of One Direction the other guys at the dance studio last night?" i ask. Harry just nods, but he look slightly sad.

"whats wrong?" i ask putting my hand on his arm.

"I;m just worried that now you will treat me differently" he says with a sigh.

"I'm not like other girls harry" i say softly. "no matter how big you get i will just treat you like a normal boy i met at my dance studio."

"Thanks Poppy" he says with a shy smile. "also because the paps have pictures of us it will probably be all over the media, i suggest you make your social media private" 

I smile at him and take my phone out of my back pocket, i go onto Instagram and follow harry before putting my account on private. i then get a follow request from harry, i smile and look at him watching me.

"What if i dont accept?" i ask with a sly smile.

"then i will have to punish you" he says with a smirk before he starts tickling my sides. I begin laughing so hard because im very ticklish. 

"Stop, stop" i beg but to no avail, " OK I will let you follow me just please stop" 

He smirks at me triumphantly. I let him follow me before i realise that i need to go to class. 

"let me give you a ride" he asks, "please" i sigh but nod anyway. we both walk back down the stairs waving at Lucy before we walkout of my flat and back to the black car outside, this time there was so paps which i was grateful for. 

Harry dropped me off outside my school before also getting out of the car and giving me a hug, I take in his scent. Man do i love his colone. 

I hear what sounds like camera clicks before i pull away and look up at Harry, he seems fine so i think im just being paranoid. he gives me a gentle kiss on the cheek before he gets back in the car and it drives away and i walk to my first class of the day.
