Chapter 1

I pulled my hoodie tighter around me as I looked down the scabby back alley way, where about 30 squealing teenage girls were waiting outside a backstage door. 

'Hurry up, Alicia' my best friend, India, shouted at me, whilst pulling my arm towards the direction of the screaming girls. 'It's One Direction for goodness sake! Could you please move faster?!' would she quit yelling, it's bad enough having all the other girls squealing and shouting for them to come out, but having someone shout it in your face is 10 times worse.

'I'm coming, keep your wig on!' I mumbled at her. I smiled to myself as I looked at the crazed One Direction fans. They were girls with massive signs and clothes with the bands faces on. One girl even had one direction written on her face. Mad, mad people. I shook my head slightly. Don't get me wrong I like one direction, I mean those boys are fit and talented, and judging from there video diaries, they seem to be a great laugh as well. But I'm not one of those hardcore fans. You know the ones who wait hours outside buildings just hoping to get a glimpse of them, or who write blogs about them, or re-tweet everything they post or write fanfics and have their pictures all over their walls.

So I guess you're probably wondering why then, am I standing in the back alley way of a concert hall; where one direction had just performed. The simply answer to that is; India. She is a hardcore one direction fan. Who writes fanfics and stalks them. She's even flown to Ireland after she heard on the internet that they were spending some time out there. But even after all that she still hasn't met them.

A scary looking security guard came out of the back door. The teenage girls including India started squealing even louder. Things like 'OMG! OMG! THERE COMING OUT!' and 'ONE DIRECTION! ONE DIRECTION! IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN! I LOVE YOU!' For goodness sake do they ever stop shouting? It's giving me a headache. And what do they mean they love them, they don't even know them.

'Come on Alicia! Were gunna have to push to get near the front!' India shouted at me, tugging my arm again.

'No. I'll wait back here, you go!' I say to her as I glance towards the now 4 security guards trying to hold back the girls. I am not going near that lot. I'll get squished.  

'Fine then. I'll meet you back here!' she shouted as she pushed her way through the crowd. 

I walked towards the wall and leant back on the cold brick, getting my iPhone out and logging onto to facebook. I could be here a while, I thought to myself as I read that I had no new notifications. Might as well log onto twitter then.

I heard screaming and a girl shouting 'HARRY STYLES, WE ARE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER! I KISS A PICTURE OF YOU EVERY NIGHT! I LOVE YOU AND I KNOW YOU LOVE ME TOO!'

I glanced up from my iPhone to see a girl with straight black hair throwing herself on Harry Styles. He stumbled back as a security guard grabbed her and pulled her away from him. She started screaming and throwing her arms about.

'Harry, my love! NO! Don't let them take me away! Were destined for each other!' she burst out crying as Harry just stood there with a bewildered expression. I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped my mouth as the girl went past me. Harry's eyes landed on me and I just chuckled at the look on his face. He smirked at me and I looked away blushing. Why do I always blush?! I glanced up at Harry Styles again to see he was still looking at me with those piercing green eyes.

A smile made its way onto my face without me realising, as he carried on looking at me; his fans started shoving things at him, but he never looked away. From the corner of my eye I could see the rest of the boys coming out, and the girls started squealing and shouting even louder!  

Harry only broke eye contact with me as Liam Payne patted him on the back and said something to him. I looked around me flustered. I'd forgotten about the other people in the alley way. I searched the crowd for India and found her at the front getting a picture with Niall and Louis.  

I smiled to myself, as I remembered those green eyes.
