Ali's POV

I was home now and I was laying on my bed staring at Anne's number entered in my phone. She had acted like she actually enjoyed my company for the short time we were together. But what if she was just using me for the tickets? Using me just like everybody else.

Pushing aside those thoughts, I quickly changed into my pajamas and brushed my teeth. Seeing as it was late and I wasn't hungry I just went straight to bed.

~•~•~•

The sun streamed in through my windows and I got up grumbling. 'Stupid sun. Why the hell do you have to be so bright. Take after the moon and chill why don't you.' I got dressed, still muttering to myself.

~•~•~•

"CRAP," I fell onto the carpeted floor and cradled my wrist. Of course, me being the clumsy person I am, had fallen down the last couple of stairs.

I covered my mouth remembering that my mom was probably still asleep. Walking over to the cabinet, I took out some cereal and poured it into a bowl. I ate standing at the island because it was a quick meal and I was leaving soon anyways.

I put the cereal back and washed the bowl, grabbed my phone and walked out the door. I still couldn't believe that it was already Tuesday. That meant that tomorrow was my One Direction tickets. I was so excited I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking and crashed into a boy who looked around my age, 17. He had big blue eyes and dark brown hair swept into a Justin Bieber sort of style. Although I didn't like Justin Bieber, it looked rather cute on this boy. His hair contrasted well with his eyes and he had a few freckles near his nose. [A/N look at the picture]

"Oh I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention to whe-" realizing I had been staring, I rambled an apology.

"It's fine, don't worry about it," he interrupted with a smile.

I returned it and said, "well I should get going, sorry about that." I started to walk away, hoping I wouldn't be late to Kara's house.

"Wait!" I heard him call out. He ran up to me and smiled shyly. "I'm Luca. It's nice to meet you." He stretched out his hand.

As he introduced himself, I noticed he had a slight accent on some words. Not enough to notice it if you weren't paying close attention. I smiled nervously, "I'm Ali. It's nice to meet you too." I shook his hand and we talked for a bit more until I realized I was going to be late. In the short time I had been talking to him, I had grown fonder of him and taken a particular liking to him.

Explaining that I had to go, I quickly rushed off.

"Wait! Again sorry," he laughed. "I was just wondering... um... if I could have your number? We could maybe uh hang out some time?"

I swear my jaw hit the ground. This summer was going much better than I had expected. My heart nearly dropped into my stomach as I realized than two people had befriended me, one maybe even more than a friend.

Quickly recovering, I replied shakily, "oh um, sure." I handed him my phone, trying to smile at him. The truth was, I was thrilled beyond imagination, I just couldn't show it.

After he had entered his number into my phone and I had entered mine into his, we turned and went in opposite ways.

~•~•~•

Walking up to the door, I knocked and patiently waited for someone to open the door.

Kara opened the door saying a quick hello and goodbye as her and Leo rushed out the door. I guess they were late. Stepping inside, I saw Cammi and Anna watching tv in the living room. Glancing at their plates on the kitchen counter, I assume they had already eaten, so I sat down with them and watched SpongeBob. It was just the part when SpongeBob started singing about promotions when my phone buzzed.

I saw that I had a new text, from Luca. I laughed because he had saved his name as Mr. Sexy;) honestly, you couldn't get much more immature. I unlocked my phone, reading the text.

From Mr. Sexy;)
Hey. What's up? :)

To Mr. Sexy;)
Nothing, just laughing at your interesting choice of name in my contacts.

From Mr. Sexy;)
What can I say haha, I AM pretty good looking.

To Mr. Sexy;)
Hmmmm, whatever helps you sleep at
night:)

From Mr. Sexy
Ouch :(

Our texts went on like that, just playful banter until I had to go walk Skye, their dog, with Cammi and Anna. We decided to go to the playground nearby so that the girls could play on the jungle gym while I ran around with Skye but could still keep an eye on them.

~•~•~•

Unlocking their front door, Cammi and Anna bounced inside and Skye chasing after them, winding in between their legs. I chuckled, watching the two little girls who seemed as if they had unlimited energy. After playing in the basement the and eating lunch, the girls decided they were tired so I brought them upstairs for a nap.

It was now 2 in the afternoon and Kara and Leo had said they would be home soon. I looked towards the stairs to see Cammi and Anna at the top of the staircase. Suddenly, a little ball of fur with big blue eyes came barreling past them and down the stairs. I laughed as Skye skidded to a stop at the bottom of the stairs and raced off towards the living room. She was such an energetic puppy. Cammi and Anna came bounding down the stairs not too far behind and into the living room.

The rest of our day was spent drawing pictures and playing catch with Skye in the backyard. I was almost sad when Leo arrived, explaining Kara was still at work. He thanked me for today and picked Skye up, cuddling her like a baby.

After receiving "goodbye cuddles" from Cammi and Anna, I began to make my way home.

~•~•~•

I was laying in my bed, texting Anne about tomorrow. I had told her my mom had agreed to drop us off at the concert and pick us up afterwards. We talked afterwards, nearly until midnight because neither of us was able to sleep due to all the excitement of the concert and backstage passes tomorrow.

Finally, I put my phone down on my desk and made sure it was charging before slowly falling into a deep sleep.
