Chapter 3

It was the next day and both of us were up early getting ready for our tour around the city. We had both crashed early last night, hitting bed at about 8:30, obviously my pass out the night before wasn't enough to stop me from suffering jetlag today. Melissa was feeling much the same but she didn't show it.

I straightened my hair, not wanting to leave it out in curls because of the bird's nest that it ends up in after a few hours of wind exposure. I tied it back into a side ponytail and pinned my fringe to the side keeping it off my face. Both Melissa and I settled on just wearing eyeliner and lip gloss for today's tour. I had pulled on a pair of black skinny jeans and a white tee shirt to wear under my grey hoodie; simple and comfy at the same time.

Melissa had chosen to go with blue skinny jeans, and a black long sleeved shirt which she covered a black trench coat. We both wrapped our scarves around our necks and put on our converse's; mine were a simple back and my best friends were blue.

Miraculously we found our way back to the small cafe Harry had shown us 2 days ago. It was hard but we made it eventually. Melissa pointed out a strangely familiar tuff of brown curly hair and a smile broke across our faces. I walked up slowly behind him and placed my hands over his eyes. "Guess who?" I said with a small giggle.

"Could it be one of the 2 beautiful girls I met just the other day?" He asked with a hint of a smile clearly in his voice.

"It could be" I said with a shrug removing my hands "Depends on how many people you offered to take on this tour"

Harry just laughed and Melissa sat down next to him while I sat across the table. "She's a real feisty one isn't she?" Harry asked Melissa.

"That's one way to put it. I just settle for calling her a bitch" Melissa told him with a shrug and a grin. Harry grinned back at her and I felt awkwardly out of place.

"Thanks Melly" I said rubbing the back of my neck awkwardly. "So when are we going? I'm looking forward to seeing all the sights"

Harry looked over to me and saw how awkward I looked. His face softened "Well I hope you guys don't mind but I invited my best friend along too. You'll love him, he's almost as charming and almost as good looking as me"

"What do you mean almost?" I heard someone say from behind me. The voice was oddly familiar; I turned around and came face to face with Louis, the poor boy I had knocked over in one of my klutz moments. "I am even better looking then you. Nice to see you girls again"

His accent was heavy and I put my head in my hands. Oh the shame. I looked up at Harry and could see the confusion in his face. "I knocked him over while we were out on the town the other night" I explained briefly. I looked to Melissa and she was highly amused by this revelation.

"So this is the sweet blond you were talking about? And Shanice is the black haired beauty who you couldn't keep your eyes off?" Harry asked clearly happy to be embarrassing his friend.

"Well I didn't use those exact words but yes these are the girls that gave me such a fun night out" Louis replied taking the spare seat next to me.

"I am so sorry about that, I tend to overdo things when I go out to clubs" I apologized "When I get drunk I get a little wild, hence Melly here calling me a wild child"

"Oh it was no problem, I had so much fun, it was nice hanging out with someone who likes to party so much" Louis said with a reassuring smile and I blushed. "Plus, like Harry said, I couldn't take my eyes off you. You were like a little fire cracker or something." He chuckled.

"So are we going to go or are we just going to sit here gas bagging like old women all day?" Melissa asked earning her strange looks from both boys, I had to laugh.

Harry smirked at her before pulling out his phone. "Okay, so lets exchange numbers so if one of us gets look we can just call one of the others, London is a big city you know" Harry told us all and we all took our phones out.

"That's a new pick up line" I said with a cheeky grin. Louis and Harry laughed heartedly while Melissa gave a small giggle.

We all exchanged numbers after a very heavy discussion on what Harry and Louis wants their names to be in our phones. Harry told us both to put Louis under Boo Bear, while Louis told us to just put Hazza for Harry. Melissa and I agreed a little confused, the boys interacted as if they had known each other all their lives even though they had told us that they had only known each other 3 years.

Standing up from the table, Harry offered his arm to Melissa while Louis offered his to me, both us girls happily accepted, we were beginning to really like hanging out with these boys.

"Big Ben first I say Hazza!" shouted Louis loudly, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh splendid idea Boo Bear" Harry said making his accent even stronger in a joking manner.

By the time we got to the Big Ben we were both in fits of giggles. Harry and Louis were always shouting out random stuff, Harry told us about Louis' superman fetish, while Louis told us about Harry's tendency to get naked at the most random times.

The boys lived together in an apartment right in the middle of the City, They also had 3 other friends who were basically over every night. We were invited over for a movie night with the 5 of them in 3 nights, because they were busy tomorrow night and the next night other engagements that they wouldn't speak of. Either these guys were major creepers or just really nice guys; I was leaning towards the nice guy's part because I had always had a good intuition when it came to people.

I looked over to see if Melissa was having a good time, she was constantly looking at people "What's wrong Mel?" I asked her. She had always been the more observant one of the 2 of us.

"People are staring at us I swear" she said and the two boys laughed at a little inside joke. "And look there's a few people taking pictures."

The boys stopped then and looked around as well as if they had forgotten something while hanging out with us. Melissa and I let go of the boys arms and looked around. There were people with expensive looking camera's enclosing around us.

"Evasive manoeuvre 12," Louis whispered to Harry, it was so low that even I could have misheard him.

"Tunnel time?" Harry asked and Louis just nodded. "Look girls, we are going to have to run"

"But wh-"before I had time to finish my question Louis had hold of my hand and Harry had hold of Melissa's. We were running flat out weaving in and out of people, basically jumping obstacles that got in our way.

We had only been running for 10 minutes before we were huddled under a bridge. I had no idea where we were and by the look on Melissa's face, she had no idea either.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked almost yelling. Melissa and I crossed our arms over our chests. I had my eye brow raised demanding answers.

Louis and harry sighed in unison. "We have kind of been holding out some information from you" Louis said carefully and slowly. Maybe my intuition was wrong this time. "I mean I'm surprised you hadn't noticed since we are all over the TV"

I gave a confused look. "Melissa and I have only been watching movies since we got here" I told him.

"Well you see, we are kind of famous" Harry said "Well not kind of, we are famous but because we were just acting like normal teenagers today we forgot about the camera's"

"What do you mean you're famous?" Melissa asked a little confused.

"Maybe we aren't that big In Australia yet but we are 2 of 5 members of a boy band. We're called One Direction" Harry said using the same slow pace that Louis did at first.

"You are famous? And you didn't care to tell us that we could possibly have our pictures taken at random times while hanging out with you guys?" I asked them a little bewildered still.

"We liked acting normal even if it was just for a day or two" Louis told us sadly "But we really are sorry"

"Can we go home now?" Melissa asked quietly, her face was a little pale.

"Yeah we can go home Melly" I told her and grabbed her hand "Thanks for the eventful day boys" I said over my shoulder as we walked away towards the street to catch a taxi.

I looked back over my shoulder at Louis. He looked a little sad as he spoke to Harry. Harry was a little down as well which was completely weird for me to see. The boys mustn't be able to just hang out with people who don't know that they are famous all that often.
