It was a cloudy day, seems like a normal day to everyone. But not to Sam, she just turned 17 today. Actually she didn't hoped much, waking up from bed and not having people surprise you like the years before. Over the years, people stop caring about her. Most likely of her attitude, or the public humiliation her bestfriend Azura made, ex- bestfriend that is. Her parents, passed away last year, so she lives with her 19 year old sister Regine.
She putted on her jeans and blue jacket, decided that she should just cut school and spend her birthday eating ice creams and just walking through London. She bathed and put a bit make up on. Looking at the mirror with her parents pictures on the side and sighed, "I wish you were here", she heavily exhaled and looked back at the mirror, "happy birthday you". Took her sling bag and converse and stormed out the house.
She didn't had her usual breakfast, peanut butter and jelly, she thought she could get desserts for breakfast. Regine seems as if she forgot her birthday as well, "breakfast?", she asked. "No thanks, heading school early", stormed off before Regine could say anything.
She went to her usual, Soho Joe which is near Oxford St. she would come here on weekends or after school with Azura. They served the best pizza and the most amazing ice creams. To go there, she had to go hop on a bus ride.
The bus was almost full, except this one seat in the far end which is also occupied by this guy in shades. That should do, I thought. He was listening on his iPod and looking out the window, so I just sat without asking permission as if it was taken or not, he won't hear me anyway.
Guess he finally realized there was some company, so he looked at me and smiled. After a few minutes he took off his earphone, and took out a pack of gum from his bag, "gum?", he offered. Why would I say no?
"Yeah sure thanks", took one of the peppermint gums and shoved it in my mouth. "Nice chat up line by the way", I added. The guy with the curly black hair took off his glasses and laughed, "thanks, it work didn't it?", he's smile was so genuine, my heart melted at the cute dimples. "sure did", I blushed.
Now wait a minute, he was so familiar. I swear I've seen him some where. He doesn't go to my school, he is most likely a neighbour, or maybe I've seen him in town?
"Sam", I introduced my self and gave him a hand. "Harry", he shaked it firmly. Harry....Harry who? Doesn't ring a bell. "So...where you headed?", he had this heavy voice which reminds me of my Dad somehow. "Oxford street, actually.... Soho Joe". "I'm heading to Oxford street as well, so we hop off at the same place I guess. What's Soho Joe?", can't believe he actually is interested in having a confersation with me. I wasn't a chatty person, not for awhile.
"Oh my... THE Soho Joe, and you have no idea?", gasped in disbelief, everyone in London should know! He nodded, "is it that bad if I don't know?", he made a face. "haha, well it's the cheapest most amazing pizza parlour and dessert shop in London I can afford basically. You should try it sometimes".
"you know what... I'm only gonna meet a friend for a bit, would you mind if I tag along and try?", it's like basically he's asking me out. Or probably he's just nice to everyone. "No biggies, sure", I was defo excited. I wondered how this will turned out.
We chatted about school, family and stuff. Basic get to know conversations, he was really friendly, by the looks of it he's the type that brings out the best out of a person. He took out his phone and dialled a number, "sorry Sam, gotta call my friend and see if he's there". "Yeah sure it's totally fine", I replied, I checked my phone to see if there were any birthday texts. None.
"hey mate, where are you? Did you bring my stuff? Yeah sorry Louis. Who are you with? Oh I see. I'm heading off after, I'll be there in five though. Who's that? Is that Niall in the back? You brought him with you? Well Ara's gonna find out any minute then. well, okay mate. Bye", he sighed. It was weird. It's as if he had a nanny or some sort that doesn't want him and his friends on the loose, which was even more weirder is that he's soo mysterius.
"Sorry, bit of a complication there", he smiled. "Ah its okay, let's go we're here", I told him and rushed him off. "Okay okaay, wait", he laughed, "what's the hurry?", he put on his shades again, even though it was cloudy, not a bit of sun was seen that day. "Well you're friend is waiting...and is that him?", I pointed out to the most obvious thing. The two guys munching on sandwhiches and waving out by the limosine. So this Harry is rich, or atleast his friends is rich.
"Oh how did you know?", he waved back and put his hands on his hoodie pocket. "Seems pretty obvious", he raised his eyebrows, as if something was going on. "Hey mate! Your clothes are here go change inside", the blond one said. He smiled at me and nodded. "Thanks, I'll be back in a bit sorry", Harry smiled and went in. left me standing awkwardly with the other two guys. "Hi", the rather brownish haired one said cheekily. "Hey", I said shyly.
"How did you know Harry?", he asked again. "Just met him 15 minutes ago, bus ride partner", I explained. He was also familiar, really for god sakes there is something wrong with my memory. I'm certain I've seen him somewhere, the stupid brain won't let me remember a thing. "Wow you must be special", the blond one said. "How's that?", I was confused. "well Harry doesn't turn down a meeting for a girl kinda type", he laughed.
Harry opened the limo's door with a set of new clothes, a flanel top with a hoodie and a leather jacket. He didn't forget the shades, "really Harry...what's with the shades?", it's starting to bug me haha. It does get quite an attention from some people. "Just incase", he tapped my back. "Incase of what?"
Now we're all confused on different things. The browned headed guy and the blonde was looking at Harry with doubt. Or rather a confused face. "Give her some slack, she has no idea", he tried to to say it as quiet as possible but I still heard it. "OOOOOOH", the brown one went all hype and jumped a bit covering his face. "reckon she doesn't know me?", he asked again. "No I don't actually sorry. Sam. What is this? Are you guys supposed to be famous? And should I know you?", I joked. "Louis. Louis Tomlinson. That's Niall", he introduced.
"well nice to meet you both. Me and Harry are having pizza for breakfast. Want to come?", I asked as if it was the only polite thing to do after the awkward situation. "Pizza sounds nice", Niall said. Louis looked at Harry as if asking permission that he could come or not. "I guess you guys can come", Harry put on his hoodie. "Hoodie up boys", he hugged Louis and asked me to lead the way.
On our wak to Soho Joe's we went through a news stand. That was when my jaw dropped, their faces was on the cover of a magazine. They are fucking One Direction from x factor.
