Megan walked down the stage, glancing at the audience. No one was paying attention except for Emily and my parents.

Go Figure. 

The principal said "Megan Smith!" and handed her a diploma. She knew that she should have been happy, but the only thing on her mind was the ghost. It had been a whole day, and her skin was still crawling like it was when he had been in her room.

Why couldn't he find someone else? 

She knew exactly why, but she hated thinking about it. She was the only one with enough dirt to be persuaded. 

She walked back to her seat, and waited until the ceremony was over. Once they were all dismissed, she ran to the parking lot. Her parents came up to her. "We have a very special surprise for you!!" They led her to their car. On the way home, her parents were chatting excitedly while she kept her mind on Louis. She couldn't stop thinking about how in a few weeks, he could be dead.

And it would be her fault.

Megan hadn't even realize they were in her driveway. Her mother opened the door for her, and she saw a beautiful white Audi beside her parents car. "Is.. Is this for me?" Megan asked her mom. She looked at her husband, and they smiled. "Yes it is. Treat it with care." She said.

Megan screamed and ran to her brand new car. Her father threw her the keys. She drove around the block five times before going home and screaming again. When she opened the door to her house, her parents had packed all their clothes.

"Go quickly and pack your clothes! We are going to the cottage! If you want, you can drive your new car.." Her mother said with a smile.

Suddenly, Megan's heart plummeted. She remembered what she needed to do this summer. "Okay, I'll be there soon. You go ahead." She smiled weakly. She hoped her mother didn't notice. "Oh, and one more thing, Megan sweetie. Look what came in the mail for you!" She handed her two letters.

"What are they?" Megan asked. "Open them and see." Her mother said, walking out the door. She looked at the cover of the envelopes.

The first one said 'The Julliard School.'  The second said 'Institute of Culinary Education.' The schools she applied too!! She loved to cook and sing, only she never told anyone she sang. She cooked for her parents. 

She decided to open the institute of Culinary Education envelope first. She didn't want to tear the top, so she slowly opened it. She quickly scanned the top. Her eyes focused on the word "Approved."

Approved!! She got in!!! She started screaming and jumping until she remembered that the second letter was still waiting to be opened. Once again, she carefully opened the top. She slowly pulled the letter out of the envelope and scanned it again. And, Once again, She saw the word "Approved." 

She had been approved to her top two schools!! She screamed, ran up stairs, and packed her stuff. Then she screamed all the way to the car. She sang to the radio off key, because she was on cloud nine. And when she arrived at the cottage two hours later, She screamed with her mom. 

Her dad had to calm them down. "Guys, guys. You need to be quite. Jenny, please help me unpack. Megan,can you go introduce yourself to the new neighbors? The Monty's rented out their cottage to another family." She nodded her head, and went to see the 'family'. She already knew who it was.

She knocked on the door, knowing who she was going to see. A boy with curly brown hair and green eyes opened the door. "Hello, I'm Megan Smith, my cottage is next door. I came over you to welcome to haliburton!" (A/N Thats where their cottage is) 

"Hello, I am Harry-" He was cut off by the sound of four boys screaming "Whos at the door, Hazza?" "Curly, hurry up! Bring them here to introduce to us!" 

Harry smiled and said "I'm Harry Styles. My friends are back there. Would you like to meet them?" Megan said "Of course!" and Harry led her into the living room.

"Whos this, Harry?" A boy with blonde hair and shining blue eyes said. 

"This is Megan Smith. Her cottage is next door, and she came to welcome us!" Harry said.  

"Hello, I'm Niall Horan." Said the blonde boy. 

"I'm Liam Payne. Its nice to meet you."  A boy with dirty brown hair and brown eyes said.

"I'm Zayn Malik." Said a boy with black hair and hazel eyes.

Megan looked at the last boy, with brown hair and blue eyes. "Whats your name?" She asked him. She already knew the answer. 

"Hello, I am Louis Tomlinson." He said, looking at the ground. 

She wondered what was wrong. He didn't have his usual verve. He seemed happier in interviews. She looked at Harry, her eyes asking what her lips couldn't. He pulled her aside and said "I'm sorry he's not as happy as usual. His girlfriend, Eleanor Cadler, was caught cheating on him yesterday. That's why we came here. So he could forget."
