HARRY'S POV

I was completely bewildered. The girls just pulled us down this dirt road, and now we find their clothes in the middle of the road? What was going on? What were they wearing? Trust me, I loved Scarlett a lot and all but getting naked the first day you meet someone is insane. We turned a corner to find the girls running onto a pebbly beach in nothing but bras and undies. I admired their craziness. How did their feet not hurt? I'm guessing years of running around barefoot toughen your feet up. We ran up to catch them but they lunged themselves into the icy water. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" yelled Liam, but then Louis started running toward the dock the girls had jumped off, stripping his shirt as he went. Niall followed suit, then me and Zayn, and then Liam gave up trying to corral us all in a dove with us. The water was freezing. All the boys were shivering and fighting trying to get up the ladder, while the girls just swam around in what they called warm water. I was back on the dock, looking down on Scarlett who was floating beneath me wearing a pretty bra. I jumped in right next to her, expecting to scare her, but she stayed in her position. I then grabbed her waist and pulled her close to me. Her legs were forced around me and I put my face close to her. She wiggled her nose against mine and then slipped out of my grip swimming over to the ladder. She and Isabel had some sort of unspoken language because they were getting out at the same time. They ran down the dock and up the road. They turned the corner and were out of my sight.

"Well that was weird" said Louis.

"Yeah" I said. I was shocked. These girls were insane.

SCARLETT'S POV

Isabel and I were lying on our own beds watching some reality show called "The Only Way is Essex". It was kind of like "Jersey Shore" from back home. I never watched that show, but I've seen parts of it. An overly dramatic part was interrupted by rapid knocks at our hotel door. I went to open it to find the 5 boys standing there with looks of "What the frick?" on their face.

"Hey" I said. I left the door open for them to come in and I turned around, walking back to Jenna.

"What was that all about?" said Zayn. They all started filling into the room.

"We were bored, we wanted some fun" said Jenna, smirking, but not taking her eyes off the TV. Zayn sat at the desk, Niall sat on a chair by the window, and Louis and Liam sat on the floor between the two beds. Since there was no room left Harry laid down next to me.

"Does someone want to explain what just happened?" Louis piped up.

"What? There's no room left, I have to lay here!" said Harry, defending himself.

"No, he was talking about the trip to the beach, but that is a bit weird, mate" said Niall.

"Well anyways, we wanted to go swimming at a beach, the pool wasn't good enough" I said.

"In your bra and knickers?" said Liam.

"Yeah, it's more 'vie de dingue'" said Jenna.

"That's French for 'crazy life'" I said at their confused looks.

"Is this something you do a lot?" said Zayn.

"Yeah, almost every night back home" I said. They all gaped at me and Jenna. We smiled at each other. These boys, who could choose anyone of their fans, were falling head over heels for us. It was kind of funny. The boys stayed for another hour and a half then decided they were going back to their hotel room. Isabel walked out the door with them, staying just outside the hallway while the boys left. They had all walked through the door when Isabel told me she was going to get ice. I turned around, taking off my shorts to change into pajamas when I noticed Harry, looking out the window.

"Harry? What are you doing?" I took off my shorts all the way and threw them all the way. He turned around.

"What is it with you and being naked?" He said.

"It's liberating" I replied, quoting him. He chuckled and walked closer to me until we were a few inches apart.

"I really like you, Scarlett" He said smiling, "a lot"

"Good for you" I said with a smile and reached up and patted him the head before leaping on the bed and grabbed the remote. I intended for him to leave because I heard Jenna's footsteps coming down the hall, apparently he didn't and started to crawl onto the bed on top of me, leaning over me. He leaned down to kiss me when Isabel burst through the door.

"OH MY GOD" Her and Harry said in unison.

"I, um, I- I gotta go" said Harry, and he walked out the door.

"Did I walk in on something important?" said Jenna.

"No, he was just falling for my trap!" I said me and Isabel both erupted into laughter.

"So it looks like Liam's falling for you too!" I said.

"Yeah, he is. He was trying to get it on with me when we were at the beach" she said, suppressing a giggle. "I think they're all falling for us" she added. I agreed and then my phone vibrated. It was a text from Louis, "Meet me at the ice machine, we need to talk"

I told Jenna. "It's probably about Harry. Liam told me on the plane that those too are really close" she advised.

I agreed and put on sweatpants and a t-shirt, Isabel and I were both wearing booty shorts and a sports bra and that would be awkward to show up like that. I walked out the door and down to the ice machine, surprised to find Louis there along with Niall, Liam, and Zayn.

"Oh, hi guys" I said awkwardly, with a little wave.

"We need to talk to you about Harry" Louis started off.

"He's crazy about you" said Zayn.

"I could tell" I said with a grin.

"He wasn't even this excited about Caroline" said Niall.

"He hasn't shut up about you yet" said Liam with a chuckle.

"And I doubt you've shut up about Jenna" I said to Liam. He pursed his lips together, not denying this. "It's ok, I think it's cute you like her"

"Ok, anyway, we want to hook you up with Harry" said Louis.

"Yeah, so you're going on a date with him tomorrow night at 8:00" said Zayn, and at this they ran away. Ok, I thought to myself, two can play at this game.

HARRY'S POV

"Harry, you're going on a date with Scar tomorrow at 8:00" said Lou casually to me.

"WHAT? WHY? I LIKE HER BUT I'M NOT READY! I JUST MET HER TODAY!" I yelled, furious.

"Well, we know you like her so we took matters into our own hands" said Niall, who was trying not to laugh with everyone else. I didn't know what to think. I liked Scarlett, but I had no clue how I really felt about her. I guess she just left me so frozen.

I went into the bathroom to get myself situated for bed. I washed my face and took a shower. I changed into clean pajamas and went into the common room. The other lads were sitting there watching TV.

"Calmed down, Mr. Angry-Face?" said Niall.

"Shut it, I'm not in the mood" I replied moodily.

"Whatever", Zayn said. I sat down and started watching TV with them, but my mind wasn't on the show, it was on Scar. Did she like me back? Was thois going to go somewhere? Would she get fed up with all the attention like Caroline? Would she cheat on me with someone in her dorm building?

SCARLETT'S POV

I walked into our hotel room and collapsed on my bed. Isabel was watching TV.

"What happened?" she said.

"I'm going on a date tomorrow with Harry" I said.

"What will you/I wear?" We both said at the same time. That was the most important thing in our lives. Fashion was so much fun. It made great first impressions, and it could make people like you immediately. It also helped that we could afford stuff with our own money. Isabel and I walked over to our suitcases. Everything was still packed because we were moving into the dorms in a couple weeks.

"We should unpack tonight" I said. "You know, fill this closet and the drawers"

"Yeah, it'd be easier. But let's pick out an outfit for tomorrow first. I decided on a tight white strapless dress and a navy blue blazer with nude platform heels. I had to admit, I looked really good. When I had my whole outfit on, I modeled it to Isabel, which made her want to model clothes too, so we had a full fashion show in our room, laughing and taking pictures and dancing around screaming. "WE'RE IN LONDON BITCHEESSSSS!" We were pretty sure people in the other rooms could hear us, but we were having a good time, so we didn't care. We took off the nice clothes after about an hour and got into our usual pyjamas; booty shorts and sports bras. We were having a great time. We stayed up late talking and then went to sleep. When I woke up in the morning I had a text from Zayn (we had all exchanged numbers), telling us to meet them at breakfast at 10:00. I woke Isabel up. We got dressed. Me, wearing light wash high-waisted denim shorts and a cream top. For Isabel; a pair of dark wash low rise denim shorts and a coral V-neck with a white tank underneath. We both assured each other we looked great, and we did. We both were honest with each other. We slipped on a pair of flip-flops each and walked downstairs. We found the boys in a corner, but only after they texted us telling us where they were. They were still wearing pyjamas and sweatshirts. They had their hoods up and were wearing sunglasses; they probably didn't want anyone to notice them.

"You guys look pretty" said Liam, smiling at Jenna. Harry looked horrified at the sight of me, he probably hadn't known about the date. I smiled at him, "Hi Harry!" I finished my breakfast with the boys and they went back to their rooms to change and Isabel and I went out into London to get some last-minute things for the dorm room, which turned into a full-fledged shopping spree. Isabel and I had a lot of fun, but we had to go back to the hotel soon because I had to get myself ready for the date. I left the city smiling. I felt like I was always smiling. It made me feel happy.

We were back in the hotel room, and Isabel was doing my hair. We were talking about anything when I brought up the subject of what she was going to do tonight.

"So what are you going to do tonight?" I said.

"I don't know, maybe I'll meet up with the boys? Maybe go for a swim" she said.

"You should go to the beach again with Liam" I said.

"Oh, ha-ha very funny" she said, not laughing. "Wait, that's actually a good idea!" I could almost see the light bulb over her head.

"I'm full of 'em" I said jokingly. Isabel was done with my hair and it looked fantastic. My blond hair was wavy and curly, Isabel had put a waterfall braid around the back of my head and she poked a white and yellow lily in at the end. It looked nice with the navy blazer and white bandage dress I had on. I pulled on my red pumps instead of my nude ones. They accented the Hollister symbol on my blazer. I modeled my outfit off to Jenna.

"Harry won't know what to do with himself! That dress will end up ripped and on the floor!" Isabel said. I looked at her with wide eyes, "That was uncalled for!" I said defensively.

"Just stating the truth" she said, sipping her tea and looking to the other side of the room. I couldn't help but laugh. "Ok, let me just tell you, do not be afraid to kiss him if you're happy with him" she said, "Trust me, he'll want to kiss you"

I grabbed my phone and walked down to the lad's room and knocked. Louis answered the door wearing pyjama pants and no shirt. He had really toned abs, but I was going on a date with Harry, so I had to focus on him. Harry walked over to the door wearing a solid red button up shirt and tan pants. I then realized blazers were his thing in all the pictures I saw of him. I kind of felt bad I had taken his fashion icon, but he still looked good. When he saw me his jaw dropped and his eyes widened.

"You- you- youlookamazing" he managed to stutter out. I smiled. He looked like he didn't know what to do with himself. We walked out the door down the hall.

"So what are we doing?" I asked, swinging my arms.

HARRY'S POV

She looked amazing. That's all I could think about. She looked beautiful. I wanted to hold her close and kiss her. Did she feel the same way about me? We started to walk down the hall.

"What are we doing?" she asked, her arms swinging. I grabbed and held one of her hands.

"I have my plans" I said, some of my nervousness slipping away. We walked into the lobby only to be mobbed by throngs of people holding big cameras.

"Harry, who's the girl?"

"Where are you going, Harry?"

"Is she your new girlfriend?"

"What were you two doing in a hotel room?"

All these paps were quite annoying, and I was worrying about Scar. She was getting bombarded by her own waves of questions. I pushed my way over to her.

"Get on!" I yelled, turning around for her to get on my back, but then she slipped past me, grabbing my hand, and pulling me out the door. We sprinted down the street, laughing the whole way, the rain pouring down around us.

"How can you run in those?" I asked, pointed to her 5-inch pumps.

"Experience" she said, grinning. She pulled me into an alley. We stood close, huddling together for warmth. I had my arms around her; I leaned down and kissed the top of her head quickly. She pulled out of my arms and started spinning around in the downfall. I looked at her, my eyebrows raised. She ran over to me and started dancing with me. I pulled her right next to my body, our chests were touching. I grabbed her thighs and pulled her onto me, so I was holding her. Her neck was right at the level of my lips, so I buried my face in the crook of my neck kissing around her neck and up her jaw line. She was laughing, I don't know if it was because I was making her happy, or she was laughing at me. She made her face level with me and I pushed my face into hers. She was a really good kisser. We both pulled away and we walked out of the alley, holding hands. There was another crowd of paparazzi, but we were at our destination. I guided her into a seafood restaurant and she looked around, seeming extremely happy.

"You like seafood?" I said.

"It's all I've ever eaten! I've never eaten real meat, no chicken, pork, or cow" she said. I was amazed by this, I thought it was a really cool fact about her.

"Wow", I said, amazed, "Scar?"

"Yeah", I said sipping my water.

I was going to tell her I loved her, but I thought better of it.

"What are you going to order?" I said, making small talk.

"A small salmon, you should taste the salmon back home, where I used to work! The fish was so fresh, sometimes, when it was busy and there was no time to bring the fish into the shop, so we would walk onto the dock and bring the fish back in to the customer. It was a great job, plus all my co-workers were my friends" I said.

"How old were you?" I questioned, wanting to out more about her.

"10" she said.

"Really, that's really young!" I said, "What did people call you back home?"

"I was still Scar, but that was before I abandoned Remington. People called me Scar because you could see the scar on my back through the bathing suit I was always wearing" she said.

"Your scar?" I didn't know what she was talking about.

"I was bit by a shark when I was 7" she said casually.

"WHAT?" I yelled, almost spitting out my water.

"Yeah I was at the beach with Jenna and we were really far out and there was a shark and it bit my shoulder. Want to see?" she said.

"Umm, sure" I said. She pulled off her blazer and turned around; there was a fine line around her shoulder blade. She went to put her blazer back on.

"No, keep it off" I said, "Your shoulders are pretty" She smiled at me and put the blazer on the back of her chair.

"Did I mention I knew the shark? I had seen it lots of times while on the fishing boats" she said.

"Oh my God" I said. Our food had come and we were almost done.

"Yeah, you could say we were friends. Isabel and I had pet it before and swam with it. Sometimes it recognized us while on the boat" she went on.

"I leaned forward, wanting her to tell me more. Then a group of 12-16 year olds came over to us.

"Harry Styles?"

"Can we have a picture?"

"Can we get your autograph?"

"Sorry girls, not right now, I'm with someone important" I said. The girls frowned and then were ushered away by their parents.
