Later that night, I have trouble sleeping. I don't want to sleep with any of the boys and no thunder is outside...but there is rain. Sigh. I don't know what there is for me to do. All I keep doing is thinking about me and Louis ALMOST kissing. I almost kissed him, well, he almost kissed me. It is really hard understanding boys and I bet it is hard to understand me. I sometimes can't understand myself. Such as shame it is.

As the heavy rain trickles and taps on my bedroom window, I sigh and look around in the dark room. I want to spend some time with the boys, but they are all asleep. Ugh! Why can't this be completely simple. I am a single girl going on tour with five attractive guys. WHOA! Did I just call them attractive?! They cannot be attractive to me. Yes, I am single and most girls in the world would want to be in my shoes, but still, they are young and so am I! I am only seventeen. Plus, I am not worthy to date any of the boys. It's strange.

I get myself out of my covers and sit on the edge of my bed. I look at the clock and see that it is eleven fifty in the night. Now I know that I cannot sleep. I never stay up this late. Something is totally up. Is it that I was almost kissed by Louis? Is it that I kissed Zayn on the cheek the other day? Is it that I was kissed on the cheek by Harry? What is it?!

I stand to my feet and turn on the light to my lamp. Once I do, I see my white keyboard in the corner of my room. I pull it out from the corner of my room and set the legs to the stand up for my keyboard. I place the keyboard in front of me and see my brown glossy acoustic guitar in the same exact corner. I sit on the edge of my bed and place the guitar beside me. I start to play on my keyboard. I don't know what to play, so I just allow my fingers to hit random soft key notes. As I do that I take on hand off and pluck the strings to my guitar as I play on the keyboard with the other hand. I stop plucking my guitar, but continue to play soft key notes on my keyboard. As I play, I hear a knock on the door.

I stop playing and clear my throat. "Come in" I say, keeping my voice straight. And once the door opens, Zayn pops his head inside.

"Hey" he says. "You okay?"

I smile weakly. I nod. "Yeah" I say, "just can't sleep. So, I decided to play with some instruments to help."

Zayn lets out a small giggle pass his lips and asks if he can enter my room. I allow. He closes the door behind him and walks in. I notice something different about Zayn once he comes in. Something strange about his hair.

Oh my gosh. He has a blond streak on the front of his hair. Did he do that? Or did someone else do it? Once he sits on my bed next to me, I ask him.

"What happened to your hair?" I ask, holding back a chuckle. Zayn looks rather cute and handsome with that streak in his hair. Different, but handsome. Plus, he looks mature for his age. Zayn takes notice to what I am talking about and shows a small grin...of annoyance and then chuckles, but slightly. He tells me that Louis had done it in his sleep for a prank and he was planning to get Louis back, but then, he heard me playing the keyboard and plucking the guitar. "Oh, well I didn't mean to interrupt your prank."

"Oh, no, you didn't" he says. "Actually, maybe me and you could prank him together."

I chuckle. Me and Zayn, prank Louis? He is the biggest prankster in One Direction! There is no way we can prank Louis. But yet, he has not entered the sinister mind of Alix Lapri. Back in Bronx, I would pull pranks on my friends all the time. They would try to prank me back, but I would reverse it on them. Sick, I know. But funny.
