Best Friends For Never Chapter 1
"One Direction, the biggest boy band in the world ha-" I sighed in frustration as I turned my tv off and threw my remote across the room. All that was on the news nowadays was One Direction did this, One Direction went here, One Direction, One Direction, One Direction. Most of the girls my age were crazy about them but I'm not too keen on them. My friends think I'm weird but I have my reasons. I groaned and got up,shuffling through my flat to go change. It was grocery day today and since it was already 3:30 I decided I should go take care of that. I put on my teal ruffled tank, studded jean vest and highwaisted shorts. I slid into my black studded combat boots, grabbed my purse and headed out the door. I pulled my aviators out of my bag and slid them on, today being the first sunny day all year. I giggled, so maybe it was only January 2nd but... hey. I hummed a little tune as I went about buying my food, not a real song, just notes. The downtown air filled my lungs and I felt relaxed. As I left the last store I went over everything I had in my bags; eggs, milk, flour, bread, bagels, cream cheese, ice cream, lunchmeat, chocolate chips, Ramen, chocolate syrup and carrots. Yup, thats everything I need. I plugged in my iPod and skipped home. I was about a block away from my flat and jamming out to 3Oh!3's Double Vision when I felt something hit me and I got to find out that plastic containers dont hold up well against the weight of 6 bodies. Somehow I had gone from skipping down the street to crushed under 5 other people, face down into the cobblestones with my groceries underneath me. "can't...breathe" I choked out. I felt them get up and stood up myself. I wiped the mixture of flour, milk, eggs, chocolate syrup, ice cream, cream cheese and dry Ramen off my sunglasses and looked down. My outfit was ruined.I looked up ready to chew out however did this. But when I saw who it was all I did was glare at them and storm off.
Somehow we had gotten seperated from Paul and were now running for our lives from crazy fans. At least the 5 of us had managed to stay together, but now as we ran with me in the lead all I could think was 'we are going to die. the fans are going to catch us, rape us, then chop us up so they can all have a peice. My body parts are going to be sitting in fridges for years to come. I DONT WANT TO DIE.' I led the boys down some random back road in downtown and glanced back as the screams began to fade. Not looking where I was going I crashed into someone and heard the breaking of multiple cartons as well as the crack of eggshells.The boys couldnt stop in time and landed on top of me and whoever was under me. I heard a feminine voice say "cant...breathe..." we scrambled to get off this mystery girl ready to run again if she was a crazy fan.
She stood up and wiped off her sunglasses. We heard her gasp as she looked down and saw her front covered in an assortment of foods. I looked down and saw some flour and milk but not as bad as the girl. She looked up at us and I was positive she was either gonna chew us out or fangirl. What I didnt expect was her to glare at us and storm away, continuing on to wherever she was going. I looked at the other boys and they were just as confused as I was. I ran after her "wait" she stopped and looked at me. "look, Styles. Just because every other female wants to be in your bed doesnt mean i want that so SORRY. you just ruined my favorite outfit and cracked the sunglasses that my grandpa gave to me right before he died. I'm very mad and hated you guys to begin with so leave. me. alone."
The girl kept walking and I stood there in shock. I saw Louis dart forward and grab her arm to try to talk to her. She went deathly still. "Dont. Touch. Me." she said "I just want your name" Louis pleaded, not letting go. "Skylar Elizabeth Harris she said as she spun around socking Lou in the jaw. He stumbled back his hand flying to his mouth. She kept walking. I heard screams again as Zayn and Liam tended to Louis as best they could in a downtown alley. "ummm... guys The crazy's have found us" the others groaned. Liam ran up to Skylar "please help us. we're going to be attacked. please. " she glared at him, but then something in her face softened."Fine." she said "follow me. you can't keep up? not my problem." she turned to continue on her way, then broke into a dead sprint. We scrambled to catch up to her, and kept pace with her as we traveled down another block. The screams were getting louder as we lept up the stairs to get to her flat which was sadly at the top floor. We stumbled to the last step and staggered to her door. She was fumbling through her purse looking for the key. Finally finding it she opened the door, pushed us through and came inside before locking it again. She ran to the back door and locked that too before floppign onto her couch. However she got right back up, "ew ew ew ew ew ew ew" she said looking at herself before fleeing into a room and slamming the door.
I shut my door, but opened it again and stuck my head out "dont touch anything. kay? just call your chauffeur or whatever and get out of my house. like as soon as you can. I'm going to shower. bye." and shut the door in their bewildered faces. I turned the shower on as I stripped myself of my food encrusted clothes and threw them in my laundry basket. I stepped into the steaming water. God how Liam had changed. I hadnt seen him since he left for boot camp 2 and a half years ago. He had forgotten about me then, and obviously seeing me again didn't stir any memories. I sighed. We used to be best friends, inseperable. Oh well. I reached out of the shower to hit play on my ipod that was plugged into a dock nearby. I started washing the crusty sticky mess offof me and sing quietly to myself. But when Cher Lloyd's Oath came on I couldn't help but belt it out, completely forgetting I had houseguests.
I shuffled around the flat, not touching anything, just looking. I kept getting drawn back to Skylar though, her blonde hair and grey eyes stirred something in me. "Skylar Elizabeth Harris" I said quietly. Why did it sound so familiar? More importantly why did she hate us so much? I brushed it off and called Paul to let him know where we were. He said he would be her in 15 minutes so I went to get tell the boys. I went back into the main room but they were frozen, nobody making a sound. "um guys?" I started but was cut off by a chorus of "shhhhhhhhhhh's" I looked at them. Very confused. "Just listen real hard." Harry whispered. I closed my eyes and listened, but what I heard cannot be put into words.
