Harry's POV

"Hey, is Lou there, Niall?" I asked the Irish boy on the other end of the ringer line.

"Yeah, one sec Harry,"

"Yeah,"

"Harry?" I heard Lou's voice yell excitedly from the background, and I smiled. I missed my best mate something terrible.

"Lou!"

"Harry! I miss you mate! The flat is so lonely without you and all of your ladies coming through," he whined. I laughed some, oh Louis and his jokes.

"I miss you too, mate. But you'll never guess what," I challenged him.

"What? Find another lady friend?" he asked a joking tone in his voice.

"Yeah, her name is Lindsay Price, and mate, you'd like her. I've only known her since about quarter past noon, but I like her," I told my best friend. I heard a bunch of 'ohhs!' from the background, and decided that Lou must've placed me on speaker.

"Glad for ya mate, but how's the school? What's it like? I know we'll be arriving tomorrow, but is it good?" shouted Liam from the background.

"Yeah, it's a nice looking place, there's like, three different gyms to work off all of the calories that you inhale, Niall. There's an amazing music room, you'd like it, Liam. It's nice here too, for now. But I've been told that it gets extremely cold over here during the winter season, so you guys best come prepared," I informed them. Now, only Liam and Niall would be attending this school as well, but Lou and Zayn were also coming to spend some vacation time, but staying close to the rest of the band.

"Right, well, we've gotta run, Hazza, we'll ring you up when we arrive in Toronto," said Liam.

"Yeah. Have a safe flight, mates. I'll see you tomorrow," I said, hanging up after a collective bunch of 'goodbyes'.

I checked the time beside my bed, and sighed. Twenty past 8. I looked around my rented flat for something to do, and all I saw was my telephone sitting on the table, across the room. I slowly dragged myself up off of the comfy bed and made my way towards my cell phone, then jumping back on my bed. I searched through my contacts until I found the one I was searching for: Lindsey. I typed up a quick message, and waited for a reply.

Lindsey's POV

My phone buzzed just as I exited the change room with my friend Ellie. I took it out of my pocket and was slightly surprised to see a message from an unknown number, though I knew who it was from.

It's Harry :)

I smiled and blushed, but I couldn't hit 'reply' quick enough before Ellie could see the message. The teasing instantly began.

"So who's Harry?" she asked in a teasing voice, elongating his name and making it sound all lovey-dovey.

"He's the new British exchange student who goes to my school. I gave him a tour today," I told her quietly as we walked into the lobby area of the pool to wait for our parents. A few of our team mates were already talking and waiting.

"Ohh lala!" she said in a singsong voice, "What's his last name?" she asked curiously as we walked up to the main group of our other friends.

I was about to reply, when I received a new message.

What're u up to?

Just got out of practice. You?

"Hello?" asked Ellie, snapping me out of my daze.

"Oh, Styles. Harry Styles," I said casually, but Ellie had a different reaction: she screamed. Everyone and I mean everyone, stopped what they were doing and turned towards us.

"Harry Styles? As in the Harry Styles?" she screamed at me, a crazy fan girl look coming into her eyes. I knew this look; I saw it whenever she obsessed over some boy band that she loves. "Tall, dark curly hair with green/blue eyes?" she pressed, shaking me.

"Uh, yeah. Harry Styles. Why?" I asked, starting to freak out on the inside.

"You mean this boy?" she demanded, taking out her phone, and shoving a picture in my face. The picture was blurry, so I had to take a step back, and then I was confused.

"Why do you have a picture of Harry on your phone?" I asked, slightly creeped out.

"He's from One Direction!" she squealed, doing a happy dance and obviously not caring that the people around us were starting to think she was crazy.

"You mean that boy band that you're obsessed with?" I asked critically.

"Yes!" she screamed, grabbing my phone from my hands. I hadn't noticed, but there was a new message on my screen. I grabbed it back from her just as it popped open, and I saw Harry's reply:

Just at my flat, thinking of you (:

My heart stopped. Ellie screamed again. Without really thinking about it, I texted back.

Harry, you told me that you like to sing, but you didn't tell me you're in a band.

I waited. I waited while Ellie was doing her fan girl thing over in the corner, and finally, within a minute I got a reply,

How did you hear that?

My friend Ellie is in love with Niall…

I'm sorry. I should've told you, but I figured that since you didn't immediately recognize me, that I could get away with just being a normal person for a while. I'm truly sorry.

You should be. Ellie hasn't stopped screaming since she saw your first message.

How can I make up for it?

I thought for a minute or two, I was kind of upset that Harry hadn't told me, but then I also understand. If I was some famous singer in a band, I wouldn't want that to rule my life either. If I found someone who didn't immediately know who I was, I'd try and keep it that way too.

Its ok Harry, I'm not mad. Just a little surprised lol (:

Thank you, Lindsey. And no, I really want to make it up to you. My mates are coming in tomorrow evening from England, but not until late. Would you want to go get a coffee or something? :)

I stood there for a few minutes, just staring at the screen. I knew a few of my friends were looking over my shoulder, and Ellie was dancing around in front of me, blabbing on about how I was going to marry Harry and she'd marry Niall blah, blah, blah, but all I could think of was whatdoIsay?

I'd love to, but I have practice. Sorry ):

And I'm assuming that you can't miss practice… /:

I'mreallysorry,Harry.Butmaybeanothernight?I asked, my heart began racing, waiting for his reply.

When are you next off?

I have practice on Saturday morning, but I'm free in the evening.

It's a date then :) I have to run, but I'll see you tomorrow?

Yeah. See you at school (:

Goodnight :) Xx

And then I realized my mom had been standing in front of me. Oh, how embarrassing.

"Hey mom," I said slightly awkwardly.

"Who're you talking to that you don't notice me?" she asked, laughing.

"Oh, just a new friend," I said, smiling as we walked out to the car to go home.

After finishing my homework and eating some food, I took a shower and was getting ready to go to sleep, when my phone buzzed again. It was like, almost 11 so I was wondering who on earth would be up this late (ifyou'reinhighschool … you'llunderstand), but when I opened the message I smiled. It was a picture message, and the picture was from Harry. He was lying in his bed, making a weird face and the message read,

Goodnight:Dso I took a picture of me making the same face, and sent it back saying the same thing. A minute or so later I got another text from Harry, this time saying Sweetdreams3and I lay in my bed, still shocked. He sent me a heart. I've known him for half a day, but he sent me a heart. I like him, but more then a friend? But he sent me a heart. He sent me a heart!

Youtoo(:I replied, and with that, I turned of my light, shut off my phone and fell asleep hoping that he would message me back, just so that it would be the first thing I would see tomorrow morning.
