So here's what happening. Sorry I didn't update for the past few days. Long and boring story. I promise I will never do it ever again. I will update everyday. Also, I am aware that they don't all live in the same house, but for story purposes, it made my life easier to just shove them all in the same house. I'm still not sure who I want to see Ella with, but other than that I have everything else planned out. So if you have a preference for who you want to see Ella with let me know in a review! xx

Ella's POV

Melanie was across the room, lounging on her bed, yawning every other second.

"I'm so tired! Stupid airplane!" she complained with yet another yawn.

"Go to bed then, stupid!" I laughed, chucking a pillow at her. I was never tired, like ever. I could stay up 24 hours without getting tired for another 24.

"I can't." she grumbled, as her phone lit up with a text. I wiggled my eyebrows and she threw the pillow back at me. She was texting Zayn. Which was super cute. I saw him giving her looks today. Err, yesterday, since it was 1:30 a.m.

I, on the other hand, was texting all five of them. Zayn was asking questions about Melanie. Niall was telling me about some place called Nando's that was, evidently, heaven on earth. Louis, after I talked about being a dancer and he made a bunch of dirty jokes, was explaining his signature dance move. Liam and Harry were both just being flirty and cute, but at the same time we were having really intense conversations. I had learned a lot about them already.

"What's your favorite color? : )" A text from Harry popped up on my screen.

"Hmm… I would have to say orange. It's so bright and pretty. Like sunset! (: And yours, my fine sir?" I responded quickly.

"Blue, green, or brown eyes? Cough I have brown eyes cough.(;" No sooner did I respond to Harry, then a text from Liam brightened my screen.

"Honestly, I prefer purple eyes with just a touch of orange, to tell you the truth.(;" I joked.

"I seriously need some green tea." I whined to Mel about thirty minutes later. "And nutella."

"We can go shopping tomorrow." She mumbled to her pillow, half asleep, her phone next to her head.

I laughed at her fight to stay awake. "Will you go to sleep if I stop texting them too?" I asked. I wasn't really that tired, but she obviously was.

She nodded sleepily. I laughed. "Sorry. It's bed time for me and Mel. Text you tomorrow! Night! :-*" I sent a mass text to all of the boys.

"Now you go to sleep!" I ordered Melanie.

"Okaaaaaay." she said sleepily, shoving her phone to the floor and pulling the covers up to her head. "Hey Ella?" she asked, as I turned off the lights.

"Yes?" I climbed into the bed.

"You don't like Zayn, right?"

"No worries. He's all yours."

"Okay." She rolled over. "Wait."

"Yes Melanie?" sheesh, for a girl that was so tired, she was very interested in talking.

"Which one do you like?"

"Hmmmm. For right now, they're all just friends. We only met them today you know. But they all are very cute. I'll let you know the second I start to like one." I promised her.

"Yay." She mumbled. Within minutes her snores filled the room.

I let Melanie's constant snores lull me to sleep. Meeting a famous band of cute boys that seemed to be interested in getting to know us. Not bad for a first day in London… I thought to myself just as unconsciousness overtook.

Liam's POV

I yawned and stretched my arms far above my head. I smiled, remembering the dream I had last night about Ella. I'd only known the girl for a short amount of time but she was so amazing. We texted until really late last night and we learned a lot about her. I worried about Harry, and how he had seemed like he was having a conversation with Ella that was just as amazing as the one I was having with her.

If I was being honest with myself, I was scared that Harry could get Ella without even trying. Since day one Harry gets a lot of girl attention. He seems to be the favorite. I'm not saying that the rest of us don't get attention, Harry usually gets more. I blame his mother for being hot.

I yawned again and went down to the kitchen for some food, not bothering to put a shirt on or fix my messy hair. Sounds of laughter floated up to the stairs. But instead of just the four boys' loud laughter, there was a soft girl's laughter mingled in with it. Questioningly, I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. I dropped my jaw in shock. Sitting there at my kitchen table with the other four boys was Ella.

She sat daintily on one of the chairs, dwarfed by the four tall boys sitting around her. She was wearing a lacy white tank top that cut off at the bottom of her ribcage revealing her toned tan stomach. She had on super short tight jean shorts that made her legs look longer than they actually were on her tiny body. She had a braid across the front of her hair, but the rest hung long and wavy to her waist.

I looked at the clock on the microwave. It was only 10:00. Damn, how could someone look so good so early in the morning.

"Er, hi Liam." She said, somewhat awkwardly with a slight smile. I hadn't noticed that while I was checking her out they had all gone silent, waiting for me to say something.

"Hi Ella." I tried recovering myself. "What brings your pretty face to my home so early in the morning?"

She laughed. "Are you aware that you and Niall use the same lines. He said the same thing when I knocked on the door." She giggled adorably. "But to answer your question, Harry invited me over this morning. He said Melanie was welcome too, but she didn't want to wake up. So I'm meeting her at some coffee place in about half an hour so we can go shopping."

"Oh, when did you get here?" I asked as I poured some cereal into a bowl.

"About two hours ago."

TWO HOURS? What?

"Way to wake me up guys." I said, trying to hide my annoyance. I threw a look at Harry, which he responded with a smug smile.

"I tried, but you looked pretty tired, so I just let you sleep. Sorry mate." Harry said. I had no doubt in my mind that he didn't attempt to wake me up at all.

I went to the table and sat down at the only remaining seat left. I noticed Ella's eyes trailing along my shirtless body. Harry saw too, 'cause he sent a glare my way. I smiled smugly.

The next half hour passed quickly. Ella acted like she'd known us for years, not 24 hours. I couldn't help but noticing every now and then she would send a small smile at me from across the table.

Unfortunately 10:30 came, and Ella had to go meet Melanie.

"Bye guys!" she said, giving us all a tight hug. "Text me later!" she called over her shoulder as she flitted down the walkway. We all sort of stood and watched her walk to the end of the block, then once she was invisible in the distance, we awkwardly trooped back into the house.

"You know, I might have been wrong, maybe she isn't too young for me." Louis said, lounging across the couch.

Harry and I glared at him.

"Doesn't matter, she's still going to fancy me." Harry said cockily.

"Keep dreaming." I said like there was no doubt in my mind that Ella would like me more than Harry, even though my mind was clouded with doubt. I wondered if Ella knew I had already fell for her, and if there was a chance she was already falling for me too.

Melanie's POV

I ordered two green teas and two bagels and chose a table to wait for Ella at. I threw a flirty smile at two cute teenage boys who looked my way as I passed. Ella may be known as the flirty one, but I was also known for my fair share of flirting.

No sooner did I sit down, then Ella came swaggering in, her long blonde hair swishing from side to side. She spotted me and came over, sitting down and grabbing a tea.

"So how was it?" I asked eagerly. This morning when she said I could go with her, I said I had wanted to sleep, but in reality I was just super nervous to see Zayn again. We had a really nice conversation last night, and though we were texting again currently, seeing him in person would be a whole different story.

"Their house is amazing! And they are all so funny! And damn, does Liam have one hell of a body." She went on, telling me every detail of every conversation they had.

"I wish I would have come." I said regretfully when Ella was finished talking about all the fun she had.

"You should have. I'm sure Zayn would have loved that." She winked. "But I'm sure they'll be many more opportunities."

As if on cue, her phone vibrated the table, a text from Louis brightening the screen. "Do you have plans for tomorrow night? (:"

"Told you!" she said smugly.

Less than thirty seconds later, Louis responded, asking if we would both want to go to a party with them.

"OMG A PARTY IN LONDON?" Ella exploded, disrupting the quiet coffee shop. The boys I had waved to looked over, immediately their eyes started raking over Ella.

"Shush!" I quieted her, though I was just as excited and trying to control my laughter.

"Melanie! You can't tell me you aren't super excited!" she said as she started furiously typing a response.

I had to admit, I was. One of the main reasons me and Ella had come out to London was to get into crazy British parties. Now, we were hardly here for a day, and we were already invited to one with a famous band.

We finished our tea and the bagels and headed out for a day of shopping. Five long hours later, we were hauling bags across campus.

"You know." Ella grunted as she carried the bag that had the mini fridge in it. "I really need my car. Didn't my mom say she was sending it over somehow?"

"Yeah I'm sure it'll be here soon." I said as I lugged bags full of our favorite foods and a disco ball.

We finally got up to our room. Ella went to unlock the door but it was already open. Raising an eyebrow, she stepped through the door. She screamed, dropping her bags with a loud clunk. I hurried in the door after her. Sitting on a precisely made blue bed was a girl with blonde hair and green eyes.

"Hi." She greeted us calmly.

"Hi, uhm not to be rude, but who are you?" Ella asked slowly.

"Well I'm Meike. I'm your roommate!" she had a light airy voice. She sounded cheerful and shy at the same time.

"I thought they said we weren't getting our roommates until like August?" I questioned.

"Oh you weren't supposed to. But I decided I would rather come here instead of being bored at home for the summer. It's my first year here." She explained.

"Well it's very nice to meet you Meike. I'm Ella and that's Melanie. We're best friends. We grew up on the sunny beaches of Florida. This is our first year here as well, and we've just gotten here yesterday." Ella regained herself, introducing us and grabbing the bags off the floor and starting to unload them.

The next hour was spent unloading our buys and getting to know our new roommate. She was very shy at first, but eventually she started opening up.

"So do you know of a band called One Direction?" I asked as we finished putting the disco ball on our ceiling.

"Uhm yes! I love them! Who doesn't know of them?" Meike answered.

"We didn't." Ella said. "Until we met them yesterday."

"WHAT?" Meike gasped, her green eyes widening.

We quickly explained how we had met them and that we were attending a party with them tomorrow.

"Oh my gosh! You guys are so lucky! That's so crazy!"

"Do you want to come to the party with us?" Ella asked.

"Uhm yes! But wouldn't it be weird since you just met them and they don't even know me?" she looked down, playing with her fingers.

"Of course not silly. You're our roommate. And they're all really nice. I'll just text Louis and ask him." Ella smiled warmly at her, which was returned almost immediately by Meike. Even being best friends with the girl for so long, it still amazed me how people started to like her so quickly.

"So, Ells, you still don't have any feelings for any of them yet?" I asked as she typed away on her iPhone.

She blushed, refusing to look up from her phone.

"Ooooh, I think someone does." Meike said, shoving her playfully.

"I might…" Ella said quietly still refusing to look up.

"Ella you said you would tell me the second you like one!" I gasped.

"I'm not sure yet though. I need to think it over." She looked up. "I'm going to go take a bath. I'll tell you once I get out." She grabbed her towel and bag of bath things and headed into the single bathroom. Our room had only one bathroom and there was only a tub, so you couldn't take a shower. She shut the door and I heard the water start to run. That was odd, Ella was usually super open with her feelings. She must really like whichever boy it was.
