Liam's POV

I wanted her to call me. Too much to ask? I knew that she would be hanging out with her friend but I thought there was a possibility that she would call. I got back to Louis and Harry's place and all the other lads were there.

"Where were you, ay Liam?" Zayn asked.

"I was just with Tessa"

"Ooh" Louis emerged from the kitchen. "Please don't tell me you kissed her - I mean come on you only just met her!"

"What? No none of that happened! She was telling me about her life in Australia and then I got her a coffee. She found out that she was late to pick up her best friend from the train station so I offered to pick her up and drop them both home."

"So how was Australia?" Niall asked.

"Not good". I paused for a moment. "Her life was full of horrid. She loved life here and for her first year in Australia but when she moved to a new school everyone was mean to her and made her feel like she didn't belong. She felt like this all through high school and all her proper friends were out of school. She found school life, really boring and she was unable to do what she loved - instead have people treat her like crap".

"So that's why she looked a bit down when she was telling us about it" Harry was sitting on the couch. I decided I'd change the subject - not wanting to talk about it.

"Yeah, well I'm hungry!"

"I have ordered pizza!" Zayn shouted.

"Yaaaayyyy" Louis screamed running through the kitchen.

Tessa's POV

The next day I woke up and had my usual vegemite on toast (I didn't hate Australia only one of my schools there). I was so glad when I found it in Tescos. But they only sold the tiny little jars instead of those really big ones. Izzy stuck to boring Corn Flakes and she didn't even out any sugar on them. Well Corn Flakes are a standard, but not a favourite!

"You are so boring eating that food!" I said to her.

She laughed. "I like it!"

After breakfast I got ready for another day of rehearsals – yes! Izzy was catching up with old friends so it wasn't like she was going to be left alone.

We both got ready. After showering, I put on some black leggings, a pink singlet and my lacrosse jumper. I then put my curly hair into a high, messy bun and clipped back my baby hair with bobby pins. I then put a light layer of make up on.

We both left at the same time but we were catching different buses out.

"See ya later!" I called as we walked different ways.

I got in to the arena, where the rehearsals where, and put my bag where all the other dancers' bags were. I walked down the hall to have a look around and there was One Direction! (yes!)

"Hey guys!" I said as I saw their faces.

"Hey Tessa" Louis said.

We talked about random things and then Zayn suddenly went "Hey Tess I didn't know you were posh!"

"What? I'm not posh" I wasn't but I saw them looking down at my jumper and realised what they were talking about.

"Yes I played Lacrosse - but in Australia it isn't posh. It is the best sport!"

"Really now?" Louis smiled. They all smiled which made my heart melt.

"Well then you are going to have to teach us". Liam walked around me.

"I will then" I laughed

I loved lacrosse and I did get in to the Australian team. It would of been amazing to play for Australia but I couldn't because of dancing and that was more important to me.

After a few minutes of joking around I had to go to rehearsals. Everyone was there except for me and this girl, Scarlet. As I had only been here for one day I didn't really know many people very well but I got on well with her the best.

We had already started rehearsing when Scarlet came in. We were dancing to the song Everything About You. I still couldn't believe that this was my job. Doing everything I loved and more!

After a day's rehearsal and talking to some of the people I was going to be dancing with, I collected my things and left to go home. On the way out I saw Liam and Louis who looked like they were waiting for Niall, Harry and Zayn. I smiled as I saw them and they smiled back - beautifully. Their eyes glistened and made my heart melt. But for some reason I was drawn to Liam. I think I was falling for him. Not because he is Liam Payne from One Direction but because...I didn't know. He had helped me a lot when I was talking about my past (even though it wasn't really a big deal). Yes, I had spent most of the time with Liam but that wasn't the reason. Yes, I had fallen in love with Liam and I had only just met him!

Louis' POV

After a busy day of rehearsals we all went over to me and Harry's place. Everyone always came to ours. I guess because two of us lived there.

Everyone helped themselves to food and drink, except for me and Harry who just sat on the couch. The other 3 lads seemed like they were in a deep conversation so I started talking to Harry.

"Liam really likes Tessa doesn't he?" Harry looked at Liam

"Yeah. Even though he denies it, it is a little obvious". Harry answered.

"Do you? What were you saying the other day ay?" I raised my eyebrows, smiled and elbowed him.

"No. I just thought she had a beautiful smile - doesn't mean I'm in love with her!"

"Really now?" I smirked "OK then"

The other boys came down to where we were sitting.

"So Vas Happenin!" Zayn walked over with a drink in his hand "Vat you talkin' about?"

"Nothing much," I answered casually.

We talked a bit about random things (as per usual). And then Zayn got on to the subject of lacrosse.

"So what do you think about lacrosse?"

"It's probably Liam's favourite sport now so he can get close to Tessa!" Liam elbowed Niall in the ribs. "Oi"

"I thought how she liked lacrosse was cool - different," I said. I thought it was a little funny how she liked it - but cool at the same time.

We were interrupted by Liam's phone ringing.

"Who is it?" Harry looked over Liam's shoulder.

"I don't know this person - we'll find out soon" Liam answered the phone call.
