The Story of Us

Another World

-Sara!!!- I heard a bright voice calling my name from the school corridor. -Sara!!!- In that moment Lucy ran trough the door with her phone in her hand. -Sara!- she screamed.

-Lucy, calm down. I'm right here.-she handed me her phone, while her eyes were glimmering.

-Look!-she whispered holding her hand on her mouth. At first, I was blinded from the bright light from her screen, because it was still early and I didn't sleep at all last night. When my vision focused, I sighted het Twitter profile notifications. I didn't see anything worth the while untill a blue tick spot my eye. I looked a little closer, and saw the name of the profile- it was Liam Payne.

-Again with One Direction, really?- I said and sighed. -Do you think about anything else?-

-Oh, don't be such a moodkill.- she continued. -I can't believe Liam James Payne actually noticed me!-

-I'm happy for you, but did you really have to wake up the whole school just to tell me that? I appreciate the alarm clock, but...- I really was happy for her. I knew she loves them, but they're just another band. There were thousands of them and there will be millions more. It's not that I didn't like them, they have a few good songs, but I don't think I could devote my entire life to just ''some'' people that don't even know I exist.

-You are my best friend. I thought you would be happier for me.- she said and slanted her head like a sunflower without the Sun.

-I'm sorry. Which one is Liam?- she smiled and showed me a photo of a teenage boy with medium-lenght hair and deep brown eyes.

-I like his eyes.-I continued. -Which one is your favorite again?-

-Niall.- she continued and started listing the pictures. -This is Niall.-

-He's actually cute.- I said. -Wait, who's that?- a tall, curly haired boy in a purple jumper which had ''Jack Wills'' written across it caught my eye as she was dialing trough the photo album.

-That? That's Harry.- she says and takes her books out of her bag.

-Harry...- I whispered the boy's name so only I could hear it. -His name fits him.-

-Who's? Harry's?- I looked up when she mentioned his name.

-Yes, Harry's.-

-I guess it does- she mummered. Over the next few days, whenever somebody would mention him, I'd blush. Lucy grasped I like him, and after a few weeks asked:

-You like Harry, don't you?!-

-Uhmm...- I didn't want to answer that because I didn't know was it true or not. I thought he was cute, but I don't know who he is. All I knew was that he was famous and every other girl wanted him, and he could have anyone.

-No...-I said and covered my face with a flyer for a pizza place. Not very convincing.

-Yes, you do!- she yelled and started swinging her arms in the air.

-Okay, okay. I think he's cute and seems like a nice guy, but I don't know him. And I can't like him because I don't know who he is.-

-Nevermind that, you think Harry Styles is cute! And that's the first step to becoming a Directioner!- I looked at her and mummered:

-I'm not a Directioner. I just think that Harry guy is cute and I think they have talent. That's all.-she looked at me and smiled in the style of ''Yeah, you wish''. One night, I was curious so I typed the words ''One Direction'' into YouTube. The first video picture was a gold stage with 5 human silhouettes standing on it proudly. I clicked the name of the video: ''One Direction sing Torn- The X Factor Live Final''. The music started off slowly, with that Liam guy singing the first verse. I wasn't really paying that much attention, but then I heard a husky male voice which made my heart beat faster- Harry Styles. By the time the first chorus was over, I was standing 2 inches away from the screen. I watched the video over and over again, and the more I watched it, the more I liked them. The end made me tear up a little. I could see the conection between the 5 of them, how proud they were. I could see it in their eyes that they were so lucky to be doing what they were- living their dream. My curiosity grew bigger and bigger as I was watching ''Torn'' time, and time over again. Soon, I was listing through even more of their videos than I could ever imagine. I laughed when they laughed, I cried when they cried, I cried when they sang. I was afraid Lucy might be right. I was becoming a Directioner. The next day at school I was quieter than usual. I didn't want Luce to know about what happened. Not yet. During Biology class, I started doodling stuff in my notebook. I didn't even realise what I was writing untill the bell rang. My look was concentrated to the white paper in front of me. ''I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn.'' I quickly closed the notebook and put it in the bag with the other books. I accidentaly dropped the bag and the notebook fell on the floor, opened on the page I was last writing on.
