She's Not Afraid

chapter 1

"she's not afraid of all the attention, she's not afraid of going a little wild, how come she's so afraid of falling in love..."

The song plays softly but I could hear it being played from my radio. A CD my friends created for me so I could listen to music while I was on the plane to London but I just now started to listen to it. I stretch in my bed and look around. My room was like the rest of the house: clean but with boxes everywhere and has tiny paint spots on the wall so I could chose colors throughout the house. I slowly get up and headed to the boxes with my clothes. I pulled something out and went with it. Soon I was in a purple really silky short sleeve shirt that went down to my mid thighs, black leggings, and purple ankle boots. I had long chain necklaces on too and I brushed through my hair before putting it into a perfect low bun. I pulled on my black long sleeve cardigan and walked downstairs, keeping my arms close to my chest. I still wasn't used to the cold here but it would be better soon. I grabbed my keys and phone, locking the door before heading out. I had to go to the store to buy groceries and paint so I could work on the house, which I soon found out that it's actually a flat, for a while. I grabbed a few things then headed to paints and buying the brushes, rollers, roller trays, several cans of paints and primers, and other stuff I would need to paint my rooms. When I had my cart filled, I headed to check out. Sadly I didn't think of driving my car here and I wished I did because this was a lot. Then a guy walked up and noticed my dilemma. "hey do you need help?"

I could hear his British accent clearly and I placed the bags down momentarily to regain the blood in my fingers. He grabbed a few and I grabbed the rest. "umm thanks I could've handled it though"

"you looked like you needed the help. It's no trouble. So you must've moved here recently. Not most would leave their flats without some kind of ride."

"actually I just came here a few days ago. I've been at home mostly but I needed to get this stuff"

He smiles "well I'm Harry. It's nice to meet you and I hope you love it here like we all do."

I smiled "thank you"

"so are you alone here?"

He asked as soon as we got to my flat. "right now but my friend is moving in with me to offset the costs. She's currently finishing up exams then she will be here. She should be here by tomorrow? Maybe the next day but right now yes. I'm alone"

He smiled lightly as I unlocked the door and led him into the kitchen. "well if you ever need to say 'hang out' then you could always find me"

"are you mocking me?"

His smile grew, revealing very hot dimples. "not really. I love your accent"

I smiled "well thank you. I love yours too that's why I chose here to move"

"have you ever by chance heard of a band called one direction?"

I smiled "just saying Harry but there's no one on earth that hasn't at least heard of your band."

His mouth dropped slightly. "I didn't say it was my band"

"I knew it was though. My friends know you and love your music. Even created a whole 6 CD's of music for me there's like 2 that has music from your band if they weren't all jumbled up."

He chuckled "your friends have great taste."

I giggled "hardly but your music is catchy."

His mouth dropped for real this time "that really hurt you know?"

I giggled "sorry"

"no it's ok. Well umm if that's all you needed help with then I guess I'll see you around?"

I nodded "umm yea I'll see you around."

"wait before I go can I see your phone?"

I nodded and handed it to him. I had no clue of what he was doing but he handed it back to me a few minutes later. "umm call me?"

He winked making me giggle and he headed back out of my flat, closing the door behind him. Oi. I looked at my phone to see five new numbers in it. One for each of his friends along with himself. I started to work and was finished by the time I wanted to go to bed. Hopefully Tanelle will be here tomorrow.
