Meant To Fall || Harry Styles

Chapter 5 [Summer]

I love Japanese food. Actually, any kind of food as long as it's not bittergourd. That evil, evil vegetable. Bless this Japanese restaurant for not having bittergourd.

Here I am, trying to distract myself with Japanese food while Hallie discusses the music video with the One Direction crew and I couldn't even look up because Harry Styles was around.

Earlier today, my Bev Brown cover was blown. Now, he knows I'm Summer Browning. Thanks a lot, Hallie. You didn't even save my sorry ass. Now, I'm trying everything to avoid him.

There are so many reasons why I'm avoiding Harry Styles: 1) I'm not good with guys, 2) He's from One Direction and 3) He has no privacy, I have no privacy and we make it to the headlines.

I don't want that. I've read about the way One Direction girls are treated. Danielle Peazer, Eleanor Calder, Perrie Edwards, Julie Watson... Basically, anyone the boys are going to be rumoured or involved with.

// Those who read, "Her Song"... Ha, ha.. See what I did there?? ;)

Do I want that? Absolutely not. My sister's gonna be working with them so I guess she'll hit the headlines soon. I don't know if it'll be for the better, or worse.

"Summer," Hallie called and I turned to her, still not looking at Harry Styles. "Y-yeah?" I asked uneasy. "Are you okay?" she asked. "You've been quiet the whole time and remember, you're helping me in this."

I just needed to get out of here. I don't like being around Harry Styles' presence. It's uncomfortable and in a way, intimidating. He's cheeky and yeah, good-looking but I can't trust people easily and I don't know him.

I took a quick glance at Harry Styles. He had a smirk on his face. "I-I'm fine," I said. "I guess I'm just not feeling well." Hallie nodded. "Do you wanna go home?" she asked. "I can fill you in about this later."

"Yeah," I said. "I feel like going home." Hallie nodded. "You can take the car," she handed me the keys. "I'll-"

"You can ride with us," Liam said. "We can drop you off later, and it gives us more time to discuss on the music video." Hallie nodded. "Thank you, boys," she said.

I got up from my chair to get the keys from Hallie. I really couldn't look Harry Styles in the eye. I bid them all goodbye as I was leaving, I dropped my phone by accident and it landed on Harry Styles' feet. Crap.

"Here," he grabbed it for me. "You better be careful. Some phones break easily." Then he gave me a wink. That was weird.

Is that why girls fan girl over him? Because he's a cheeky jerk? Well, that's crazy. Whatever.

"One Direction?" Loraine repeated. "Your sister's directing One Direction's music video?" I nodded. "Seems like it," I said. "Yeah."

So I called Loraine when i got home. I needed to talk to her and she was free so she came over. Here we are, in my room, talking about One Direction.

"You hate them?" Loraine asked. I shook my head. "I don't hate them," I said. "I'm just not obsessed with them. I've heard some songs, they're good. I'm just not crazy."
