Please read this first! this is in NO way real events. the characters, besides 1D of course, are completely fictitious. I love to write, and I love One Direction, which is why I'm writing this. If you review, I'll love you forever. I'm up for suggestions too. Not sure exactly where this story is going quite yet. BTW: I update EVERYDAY, sometimes more than once a day. Enjoy! xx
Ella's POV
A chance of a lifetime. If you and your best friend had the opportunity to spend the summer and following school year in Great Britain together to 'study', with your overprotective parents across the ocean, you would take it in an instant, wouldn't you? Well I did. My best friend, Melanie, had been entering bunches of programs for us to travel to the UK. Long story short, she sent applications to a boarding school in London, we got accepted, and after begging, tears, and tantrums, our parents had allowed us to go. In one week, we were taking a plane across the ocean, to our new home of London. But we had to make sure we were presentable for the cute British boys first, of course.
"What do you think?" I asked Mel, examining my new outfit in the mirror of Forever 21. I had on black wedge ankle boots, a tight black pencil skirt, and a white crop top with a black heart on it. The skirt and top flaunted my tight dancer/gymnast body, showing my lean legs and accentuating my tiny waist. The heels made me look slightly taller than my actual 4' 11". The plain colors was good for my tan skin. But that was about as far as the outfit went for working with me.
"You need something to bring out the color in your eyes," She started rummaging through the jewelry racks. "Here! This is perf!" she found a necklace with a bright blue heart pendent on it and hung it over my neck. The blue heart settled on my collarbones, and brought out the blue of my eyes. My eyes were my favorite thing about me, they were huge, and a brilliant sparkling blue.
"Love it!" I sang. The necklace really added a bit of color the outfit needed. "This is definitely going on the buy pile. Your turn!"
Melanie smiled over her shoulder at me and heading into the dressing room, clothes piled over her arm. I sat on the plush chair outside the dressing room and waited for her to change into her next outfit. I ran my pinky over my full bottom lip, a habit I had gotten into so long ago. There wasn't a reason behind it, I just did it all the time.
She emerged from the dressing room and faced the mirror, pulling at the hem of a tight black dress. We were both trying black dresses on. Every girl needs a sexy black dress for parties, and we had vowed we would party it up in London.
The dress was a simple black strapless number, but it was majorly tight. It flaunted her curves. Me and Mel basically had the same figure, but she was one inch taller than. We did the same sports, so that was pretty much what explained our similar body shapes. Our figure was as far as our similarities went though. Whereas I was the blue-eyed blonde, she was dark hair, dark eyed one.
"So Ella, whatcha think?" She did a twirl.
"J'adore this one!" I said honestly. "You pair that with those red pumps you bought the other day and you will have boys all over you!"
She winked. "I like this one too." She headed back to the dressing room to change again and I followed suit.
Three hours later, we left the huge outlet mall, arms loaded with bags. We stepped out into the huge parking lot, the sweltering Miami sun beating down on us. We found my white convertible mustang, which was my prized possession, and dumped our bags in the back before climbing in. We cranked up the radio and jammed all the way back to our houses. We were lucky enough to live right next to each other in the same gated community, which contained huge houses, and was nicknamed the Miami Mansions. My parents were both hot shot lawyers, and hers were both crazy talented brain surgeons.
I dropped Mel off at the foot of her driveway and swung my car into my garage. Tomorrow was the last day of school, which meant only six days till my life began. Saying I was excited was the understatement of the year.
