---Annabel’s Point of View—

“Um, hey Lou! What are you . . . what are you doing here?!” I asked frantically not sure what to do. How was I supposed to explain this to him? I’d have to make something up . . .

To stall, I flashed him a sweet smile but looking into his warm blue eyes I immediately felt guilty. Guilty because I had realized that I’ve been using him to get to Harry. I knew that Louis cared about me, at least I think he does and I don’t want to hurt him. I can’t believe I had actually led him on for this long, honestly.

I would have to break up with him. It’s not that I didn’t like him, it’s just that I wanted to be with Harry and only Harry. And I know how bitchy that sounds but I actually do think that I’m . . . in love with him. And I think that there could genuinely be something between us; I don’t just want to stay another fangirl. I want something more than a friendship and unlike most of these fans, I can change that.

“I came here to pick you up to go shopping and maybe get a pizza or something but . . ” his eyes lingered from me down to the laptop. How were we ever going to explain this?

As I scrambled to find words, pangs of remorse flushed through my body. I could do this to him . . . could I? Could being in love with someone so much cause so much hurt to other people? I guess it could, but was I ready for that?

And Evie . . . oh, God, Evie. How would she react to this? She’d probably never speak to me again . . . then again, she always had given in to everything that I’ve ever told her to do . . . maybe she wouldn’t have the guts to do anything.

 Shit, I’m so stupid. That night at St. Julien’s, how could I lead Harry to Evie? I could have had him all to myself then. Why did I have to be such a good friend? Maybe it was because I felt bad for her because of the whole break up thing and I wanted her to be happy . . . wait, did she actually even really like Harry like I did? It seemed like she just went from Derek to Harry in one day last month . . . maybe she was only using him for support to get her through what she was really feeling.

Oh my God.

She still loves Derek.

Yes, that must be it! That would explain everything! The whole fight today in Algebra, Harry and Derek were probably fighting over Evie.

I sighed, relieved. If Evie was so in love with Derek, couldn’t she see that he loved her still too? God, they should just get back together already, like it should be, and then Harry could see how in love they are and will just give up on her. Eventually, he’ll go around looking for another girlfriend and there I’ll be.

Wow, I just solved my own problem. The only things I need to do are become the best matchmaker in the world and get them back together, set things straight with Louis and . . . figure out a way to get Harry so less infatuated with Evie. I mean, he was only setting himself up for failure. She was using him.

“Is anyone going to explain to me why you and Danielle, of all people, are on Harry’s twitter account?” Sassy Louis was growing impatient. “How do you know Danielle?”

“We’re old friends,” she smirked, answering for me. It was true though, yet I nodded for effect. He gave us a nasty look, it was clear that he didn’t like Dani much.
