Artemis's P.O.V.

"OH... MY... GOSH!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!" I screamed as I walked into the boys' house. No scratch that, mansion. "You can have a room on the second floor, if you like." Louis said. "Okey dokey." I replied in kind of a dazed way. Three words for ya'll, THIS HOUSE IS HUGE. Wait, that was four. Man do I feel stupid sometimes...

"Soooooo," I began casually. "When can Fred get his sweater?", I finished as I started up the steps with Louis. "We could go and fetch him one while your friend's at swimming. I know this great place that sells little dog sweaters and costumes." He blurted out a little too enthusiastically. Man, someone was a flirt...

"Uh sure." I said just he said "Here's your bedroom. Uh you can get settled in and... stuff. Come down when your ready." He stood there for a couple of seconds longer then he needed to and then started down the steps, which he stumbled down. He is one love sick puppy. I haven't really made up my mind about him yet though.

As I was unpacking my stuff-that-got-stuck-to-my-face collection, I wondered if Spongebob was on. *BTW Fox told me that I have the attention span of squirrel that got hit by a car so that's why I'm kind of random... haha...lamas...

ANYWAY... I turned on the TV in the bedroom and the E! news was on. They were talking about 1D and how they just got back from tour. Then the camera panned to a picture of me and Fox jumping into the boy's limo.

According to several witnesses the two girls were walking on the edge of the sidewalk when the limo drove by and splashed them. They were reportedly shouting obscene words to the limo which then pulled into a parking lot and apologized to the girls. Some of One Direction's fans noticed it and rushed to meet them, but the boys sped away with the girls in the back seat.

That was sooo not how it happened! Good Lord people! You see, this is why I don't let many people into my friendship circle. They think they're being cool and popular when they're really just back-stabbing, flubber-eating kids with no common sense. I know Fox would never do that to me.

"Hey Artemis, are you alright love?", Louy's voice floated in from the hall, scaring me half to death and making me snap out of my thoughts. When he saw that he startled me he said "Err... sorry I heard you shouting at the television and just wanted to make sure it didn't... come alive and eat you or anything." Was I shouting? Hmmm I didn't notice.

"Hahaha I watched a movie about that one time." I said, to break the awkward silence. And then I added, "Hey I think I'm ready to get Fred his sweater, if that's OK..."

"Sure let's go. You might need a sweater, it's kind of chilly out." He said with THE. MOST. AMAZING. SMILE. EVER. Heehee...

~A short but noisy car ride later~

I walked into the small store that smelled like wet zebras and had a hobo sitting on the roof digging in the gutters. Eww. Inside wasn't that great either, there was another hobo eating a banana peel sitting in a lawn chair. He was holding a sign up that said "Are you struggling with hair loss?". Again, eww.

Louis grabbed my hand and led me to the dog costume isle, which thankfully didn't have any hobos in it. "Uh here's one with stripes." He said, holding up one with red and black stripes. "AHHH! I must have it!" I screamed and got a few weird looks from the fellow hobos. Then the counter lady came over and started flailing her arms everywhere and going on about how the world would be a beter place without all us "young folk" screaming everywhere.

"And mabey we should go this way..." Louis said, dragging me down the isle and turning to go to the check-out. "Haha that lady was crazy. One time, Fox saw this one person scooping another guy's eyeball out with a spoon. It was nastay." I said, earning a few more weird looks from the homeless people. Hey, I'm not the one eating out of the gutter.

Louy payed for the sweater and we walked out to his car. Just me and him came so that we wouldn't attract so much attention. But I gueesed I kind of failed at the no-attention part though so... yeah.

~Another short but noisy car ride later~

When we pulled into the driveway and Louis turned off the car, we sat there for a while in silence. Louis was the first to talk. "So, that lady was pretty weird huh? I thought she was kind of creepy when I first came there. That thought has been confirmed." When he stopped talking, he looked at me for a minute and leaned in and kissed me on the lips. It was a slow kiss, like the kind you see in mushy romantic movies. Which I dont watch.

When he stopped to catch his breath, he opened his door and came around to get mine. I took his hand this time and we walked to the door in silence. When the other 1D boys saw us they immediately looked at our hands and grinned. "Hey you kids beter not be up to something." Nial teased.

And that's how the spaghetti war started. There were some noodles on the stove and Louy ran to the pot and started pelting the others with mushy pasta. Then I ran upstairs and grabbed Fred, threw his sweater on, and ran back down the steps. Man I shouldn't have ran down those steps because when I was almost to the bottom I tripped and Fred went flying. He landed by the spaghetti pot and knocked it over onto the stove, which then erupted in flames. And then, just my luck, Fox walked in the door.

A/N Hey guys so I finally wrote a sort of long chapter! TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF THE KISS!!
