Jack and Alice are best friends. They have known each other since secondary school. Alice certainly isn't one of those shy, quiet girls. No, she is loud, strong headed and speaks her mind. Although she isn't one of the most reserved girls you would ever meet, she, like many, still believes in true love and that her prince is out there - much to Jack's amusement. Jack, like Alice is a strong willed person, loud, direct and honest. Their personalities are so alike and it's a wonder how they don't clash. But unlike Alice, he hates the idea of being tied down to just one person - why have one when you could go out every night and get a new one? It's better to live your life as a player than as a boyfriend or husband...Right? Even the thought of true love is hilarious. Let's be honest, it doesn't even exist...Right? Wrong. When Jack meets Gabriella, his whole player lifestyle is turned upside down as he tries his hardest to get her attention. He feels a totally different attraction to her, he doesn't want to just use her, he wants to keep her, he actually wants to be labelled the title of being a 'boyfriend', of being her boyfriend. So when Jack realises that his whole player reputation is what is driving Gabriella away, he requests the help of his best friend Alice to help him change and to help him prove himself worthy of Gabriella's love and attention. But along the way, his love, focus and attraction gets mixed up and now he doesn't even know which girl it is that he truly loves and which girl he wants to prove his worthiness to. How will he decide...but when he does make his decision, is it too late? Has he pushed the one girl he's ever truly loved too far? Let's face it, someone's going to get their heart broken...question is, who will it be?

Eighteen years have passed for One Direction, and instead of five boys there are now five girls...

I'm Mallory Collins. I have never been good enough, pretty enough, or skinny enough. Having my friends leave me for the older girls just made my life that much better. After finally meeting a decent friend, they decide to target her as well. Why do people have to be so mean? I am so sick of not sticking up for myself. So you know what? I am going to change that. It's finally going to be my Junior year and I'm ready. No more self pitiful, low self esteem, no friend, Mallory. I have a list of goals and I plan on achieving every single one of them. I am going to talk to people I was always too scared to. Maybe I will even try to get a boyfriend. I am back with a new confidence and I can't wait to show it off. These goals will be achieved this year if it kills me. It's a new year and there is a new me.

I tapped my pen onto my desk with anticipation. Why did I deserve to meet One Direction? I stared at my lifeless paper. The question kept skipping through my mind like a broken record player. Why did I, Cher Marie Lovett, deserve to meet One Direction? Lots of ideas swirled my mind, but one caught my attention. Without thinking twice, I scribbled onto the paper, “So I can lick Liam Payne's abs.” I know what you're thinking. That's probably the dumbest reason ever. But, hey, it was 100 percent truthful and its not like they're gonna read it anyways. Pretty pleased with my idea from God, I skipped over to Mrs. Richards’ desk and slammed down my masterpiece. “I'm finished,” I smirked with a mouthful of victory. Little did I know that a simple, ‘I'm finished’ would be my biggest regret yet.
