I walked into my apartment, I immediately recognize the smell of popcorn.

"I'm home" I call out as I walk down the hallway, leading to my room.

"Get pajamas on, We are having a movie night" Lydia says, appearing in her big pink onsie.

I giggle slightly, "Okay, what movie?" I ask.

"Frozen." she chirps.

"Again?" I sigh, walking into my closet.

"Uh, yeah." she says, as I grab my leopard print pajama bottoms and a black tank top.

"Ok, I'll be there in a sec." I tell her. She closes the door behind her and I start taking off my clothes and replaced them with my pajamas. I threw my hair up in a messy bun and grabbed my fuzzy socks and then walked down the hall to the living room, where my two best friends sat waiting.

"Ready?" Kiley ask, as plop down onto the couch next to her.

"Yes" I sigh, laying my head back, I probably wasn't going to last through the movie.

"Long day at work?" Kiley says, turning to me.

"Very." I admit, I worked as a manager at Pacsun at the mall here in LA, don't get me wrong I love it, it's just exhausting sometimes.

"Well, we are going to watch movies all night and sleep all tomorrow" she says getting excited.

"Sounds good" I sigh relived that tomorrow is a Saturday.

Lydia works at Forever21 and Kiley models some. Kiley and I have known each other since High school, I met Lydia one day and we automatically hit it off, I invited her over one night and we all had a blast. We had an extra bedroom, so she moved in 3 weeks later. We've been living all together for almost 2 years in LA and we absolutely love it, Kiley and I are originally from Texas. It was a uh.. strange transition.

It was only 45 minutes into the movie and I was already falling asleep. My eyes kept on getting heavier and heavier until they finally just closed.

--

A loud scream echoed through the living room, causing me to jerk up from my sleep.

I found Lydia and Kiley sitting on the edge of the couch staring at the screen, watching a different movie.

"What the hell?" I groan rubbing my eyes.

"Sshh" Lydia says holding her hand in my face as she watched the movie.

"What movie is this?" I ask, shifting trying to get comfortable.

"Gosh Collins, shut up." Kiley yells.

"it was just a question" I mumble, standing to my feet, unstable at first due to just waking up.

I ignore them and walk into the kitchen and pour me a glass of fruit punch, and return to the living room.

I saw a cover for a movie on the ground, I picked it up, guessing it was the movie they were watching.

'One Direction : This is us' it reads.

"Y'all are screaming over some boyband?" I chuckle, tossing the cover over on the empty chair.

"It's One Direction." Lydia says, by the look on her face, I should be jumping up and down instead of questioning her.

"Yeah.. and?" I say, bringing the cup to lips, sipping my drink.

"British people?" Kiley says, trying to ring a bell.

"Relax, I know of them, I just didn't know y'all were such fans." I tell them.

"I've always loved them, I conceal it." Lydia says shrugging her shoulders.

"Yeah, I just became a fan so-" Kiley says, her attention returning back to the screen, which was showing 5 guys singing at a concert.

Of course I knew of One Direction, I don't like under a rock. I've just never really listened to there music, I don't 'fangirl' for hardly any celebrity, except Ed Sheeran. I love Ed Sheeran.

I look up at the screen and gasp loudly at what I see. Green eyes, pink lips and curly hair.

"What?" Kiley and Lydia say at once.

"n-nothing" I stutter, my eyes wide.

They both turn back to screen.

It has to be a mistake, that can't be the stranger I kissed.

Since New York, I haven't been able to stop thinking about him, I didn't even catch his name, he was literally a complete stranger who had probably forgot about the innocent kiss.

But everything adds up, how him and his friends were so covered. They were hiding.

I'm overthinking this, it can't. I know I didn't kiss him.

"What's the curly headed one's name?" I ask.

"Harry Styles" Kiley chuckles.
