Ella's POV
Melanie and I set up her iDock, hooked my iPhone to it, and had a dance party as we unpacked. We chose each chose a bed and and a closet and dancing and singing around while sorting our clothes into the closets and making our beds with our matching pink and purple bed sheets.
"We need to do some serious decorating, my friend." Mel said, examining the room when we had finished unpacking.
"Agreed. I could go for a mini fridge so I don't have to walk all the way downstairs to get food."
She nodded. "And some bean back chairs. I love those things. Ooh and a disco ball. We could hang it right in the center of the room and have Friday night dance parties like we did back at home."
"Do you think our roommates would approve?" I asked, nodding towards the empty half of the room. We had roommates, which was good, we were up for some new besties. They weren't coming until the beginning of August though, so for two months we had the room to ourselves.
"They had better approve, or I will not approve of them." She joked.
I went over to the window seat and sat down, pulling my dolphin pillow pet to my chest.
"So those boys today?" I wiggled my eyebrows.
"Oh my gosh, they were so freaking cute! And so sweet. And they were really funny! Do you think we should text them now?" she said excitedly, all of her words stringing together like they did whenever she got excited.
"I think that we should try to Facebook or Twitter stalk them, and then text them. Make sure they're not like creeps or have girlfriends." I pulled my iPhone off the dock from the desk and logged into my Twitter. Harry had been the only one to give us his last name so I looked him up, assuming I would be able to find the other four from the people he followed. Tons of results came up. Confused, I hit the first one. Harry_Styles had over a million and a half followers. What the hell?
"Uhm, Mel?" I said.
"Yes love?" she responded, not bothering to look up from her intense game of Temple Run.
"Have you ever heard of a band called One Direction?" I asked as I scanned Harry's bio.
"Err… Maybe someone said something about it once or twice. Why?" she looked up from her phone.
I turned my screen to show her. She gaped at the screen. The picture was definitely of the Harry we had met today at the milkshake place.
"Should we ask them?" she asked, pulling out her phone.
"No, let's Google them first!" I walked over to my desk and opened up my Macbook. Leonardo DiCaprio's face filled my screen as my computer opened to desktop. I clicked open Safari and quickly googled 'One Direction'. Over 515 million hits came up. What in the world? The first page was a link to 'The One Direction Website'. Completely bewildered, I clicked the link. Mel stood behind me, staring in shock. The page loaded quickly, showing a picture of the five boys we met today smiling at the top of the page.
"Search them on Youtube!" Mel demanded, her eyes wide.
I obeyed, my fingers flying across the keyboard. "Which one?" I asked as pages of results appeared on my screen.
"Uhmm…" she scanned over the list. "That one." She pointed to a music video for a song called "One Thing" with a perfectly manicured finger.
Our jaws dropped as the five boys from this afternoon appeared yet again on our screen, shots of all of them in a different triangular position behind one of those director clicker things. "I've tried playing it cool, but when I'm looking at you, I can't ever be brave, cause you make my heart race!" the song started out with Liam singing then switched to Harry, then Zayn, then all of them, then Niall, then Louis. Holy shit. They could all sing. Damn damn damn. The video played out. Once it ended me and Melanie sat in silent shock. I took a minute to appreciate their sexiness and the fact that I had met famous people today without even realizing it.
"Well, that's a bit surprising…" I said to Mel.
"A bit?"
"Just a tad." I laughed.
"Should we text them now?"
"Hmmm… I suppose." I started to reach for my phone. "Oh my god! I have an idea. Let's send them the link to their video!"
"Yes!" Mel responded, her eyes twinkling in excitement. Me and Mel were masters of messing with people. If we sent them a video of themselves it would be hilarious.
I quickly got the link to the video from my phone. I pasted the link in a text and added "This is cute guys!(;" entering all five of the boys name in the 'To:' bar and hitting send. Mel and I giggled, anxiously awaiting their reply. We started browsing through their other videos as we waited.
Harry's POV
A text from Ella interrupted my game of Temple Run. I heard Louis' phone ping from beside me. I opened it, anxious to talk to this gorgeous girl some more.
"This is cute guys!(;" was the message along with a link to a Youtube video. Oh no, I thought, opening the link.
My face, along with the four others ,appeared on the screen. It was our music video for One Thing. It seems they found out we were in a band then. I don't know why I didn't tell her. I probably should have. But it was so nice to talk to girls without them being all crazy fan-like.
"Did you get this too?" Zayn asked, entering the room and holding up his Blackberry. I nodded slowly, as did Louis.
"Did you get the message too?" Zayn called to Liam and Niall.
"Yes!" they both yelled back.
Zayn plopped down on the sofa beside me, running a hand through his shaggy hair.
"So what did you think of them anyway?" he asked.
"I thought they were so sweet. And Harry you were right, they were really fit." Louis answered as Niall and Liam joined us.
"I thought they were really cool. But the brunette," Liam started.
"Melanie." Zayn supplied.
"Yeah Melanie, she was really quiet. But Ella, damn, that girl can talk. She's really flirty too." Liam finished.
"I like Ella." I threw it out into the open.
"Same, mate." Liam said.
"I liked Melanie." Zayn said. Which was quite obvious from the way he looked at her.
"I need to get to know them better, but they were both really nice and sweet." Niall said.
"I think they may just be too young for me." Louis admitted, somewhat sadly. I knew he hated being the oldest, though he definitely didn't act it.
"Let the games begin."I said, staring Liam down. Although it was something we didn't have to worry about before, we knew if there was ever a time we were both interested in the same girl, it would be alright if we battled it out, but we wouldn't let it ruin our friendship. First off, we were way to close for that. Second off, we vowed, early on, to never let anything tear the band apart.
"Game on." Liam said cockily, meeting my stare before turning back to his phone and typing away. I looked down to my own phone and debated what to say. After about five minutes of internal conflict I decided on "Oh I know we're cute.;) You aren't mad, right? :/" Flirty, but I had to make sure that she wasn't mad I had left out a huge detail of my life.
Her response was almost instantaneous. "Mad? Why would I be mad? Silly boy!(: I think it's so cool that you guys are a band! You should have told me sooner!"
I heaved a sigh. She was so cool. Normal girls, would probably get really upset about not being told something like the fact I was in a major band.
"I'm sorry. I should have told you. Will you forgive me? :)" I replied quickly.
"Oh I think you're worthy of forgiveness… But only if you promise to sing to me in person sometime.(:"
"I promise. xx" I sent back, knowing that promise was one I was going to keep.
The rest of the night was spent happily texting her. With each text my want for her grew stronger. Never had I ever fallen for someone so quickly, I was just afraid Liam might get in the way of Ella being there to catch me.
