It was just a normal day at school and me being the only one without a date to the school dance i felt quite left out. My friends tried to get me to go with them but i refused telling them I wouldn't go without a date. It would be embarrassing going alone. After school I went to a small coffee shop not far from my house. I'll have a caramel mocha. I said to the girl behind the counter. Commin' right up she said. I started to go through my purse and got my wallet out paid the girl than thanked her taking my coffee to my favorite two person seat near the corner that faced the window. I took out a book and began to read sipping at my mocha as i did so. After about 10 minutes of reading i heard someone clear their thought and I looked up to find a very attractive looking guy standing near me he looked a tiny bit familiar but i couldn't place him. May I help you? I questioned. Well i saw you sitting alone and i was wondering if i could sit with you to ya know keep you company. He said in a very thick British accent. So do you mind if i sit with you? He asked and i replied No not at all. And I motioned for him to sit down. Maybe he could be my date to the dance...

Thanks he said looking relived. So what's your name? I asked. I'm Harry, and you are? I'm Erika. I replied to him. Nice to meet you Harry. Nice to meet you too and that's a very nice name. Thanks i said and blushed. No problem he replied. Soo . . . how's that book your reading and what is a nice pretty girl like you doing here alone? I mean with a girl like you, you must have a boyfriend. I was surprised no one had complimented me like that before than after about a second i answered. Well this book is quite good and I don't have a boyfriend. I said feeling a little bad for myself. But thanks for the compliment no one has ever said anything like that to me before. Really? He said with a small grin. Yeah no one seems to like me much at school. Oh he said understandingly. Yeah was all that i said. A few awkward seconds later he said, Well I heard about a high school dance that's on Friday from a few girls on the street, are you going to that? No I'm not. I replied Why not? He asked. Well i don't have a date and since everyone else has one I'd be embarrassing to go alone. Oh he said and pondered a moment, Well I know we literally just met but you seem nice and fun to be around so I'll take you to the dance if you want?

I was astonished that this very good looking lad was asking to take me to the dance and i answered with, I would love to. I looked down at my watch and found that it was 5:00. Oh Great I said annoyed. What is it? He asked and i replied my mum told me to be home at 5:20 sharp so i have to go. Oh he said sounding a bit disappointed. We exchanged numbers and i gave him my address so he could get me to go to the dance at 7. We shared a quick hug and a goodbye and i set off on my way home.

When i got there my mum told me to make dinner while she helped my little brother with his homework and watched my sister as well. I decided to make grilled chicken and veggies. I started to grill them up when my phone went off and it was a text from Harry asking if I wanted to get coffee with him tomorrow and i replied with a simple yes. Later that night when i went to bed i dreamed about me and Harry being together. I also daydreamed in school. When it was finally time for me to go to the coffee shop i brushed my hair out and reapplied some of my makeup and went into the coffee shop smiling as i did so my grin getting ever brighter when i saw him sitting where we had the day before. I walked up to the counter and ordered my coffee but when it had come time to pay Harry who had snuck up behind me handed the girl the money for it before i could. I grabbed the cup and turned around to look at him and we walked back when we sat down i said You didn't have to pay for that you know? I know but i wanted to he said with a grin. Well thank you. I replied and he said no problem, then his phone went off. I heard him curse under his breath when he said could you excuse me for a moment. I nodded my head in response.

He walked outside and answered his phone looking quite cross than he hung up and came back in. Erika I'm really sorry but I have to cut this date a little short a friend of mine hurt himself and my other friends only took one car and apparently they don't all fit so I have to take the injured one home from the ER. Oh ok. I said and i got up grabbing my things. I'm so sorry he said looking quite disappointed I really wanted to hang out with you. Harry don't worry about it I understand. I said and patted him on the shoulder reassuringly. Well i mean you could come with me, but only if you want to. Ok,sure. I said back and we started to walk out, But I do have to warn you the boys are quite crazy and embarrassing at times. It's fine I said. Ok then let's go. We got to his car and he opened the door for me. What a gentlemen. With that we were off to the hospital. One thing kept playing in my mind that he had said and it was I'm sorry but I'm going to have to cut this date short. Had he really mean date? Were we really dating? So i asked him. So Harry when we were in the coffee shop you said you had to cut the date short. So does that mean were dating now? I asked emphasizing the word date. He was quiet for a moment than replied. Well that depends do you want to be dating? Sure. I said and he said well Erika will you be my girlfriend. And i replied with a yes and we talked the whole way to the hospital.3 guys ran up to the car and looked a little skeptical seeing me in the car with Harry. We got out of the car and instantly the one in the striped shirt asked Who is she Haz? The others nodded wanting to know as well. Well guys this is the girl from the coffee shop i told you about. Hi guys I'm Erika, i said introducing myself and i received a few hellos. Than Harry said, yeah this is Erika my new girlfriend and Erika this is Louis Liam and Zayn the one who hurt himself was Niall. That was when I finally made the connection, It was One Direction! I couldn't believe I didn't figure it out sooner but i kept my cool. I had never obsessed over them but I knew who they were and i loved their music. Pleasure to meet you. I said . When we started walking up to the doors of the Emergency room Harry grabbed my hand and held it. I didn't question it though it actually felt nice. When we walked inside I instantly felt my stomach twist. I hated hospitals i always have but i toughed it out and we went to go get Niall in the waiting room, once we did that Harry asked me if i was ok and I said yes. When we were leaving i bolted out of there Harry close on my heels when I ran into...
