I wake up to my phone going off letting me know someone was calling me. I groan and roll over. I didn't fall asleep till maybe five in the morning, and it's only nine! I'm never going to another party. I don't know why I even went to the one last night.

"Hello?" I say into the phone not bothering to see who it is.

"Hey honey, when are you coming home?" I heard my mother asked. She must not know I'm home.

"Mom. I'm home."

"Oh really? Well me and your dad are going to the office for the day. Love you." My mom said before hanging up. She never lets me answer. I laugh as I lock my phone placing it on the counter.

I sit up and instantly regret it. I hate not having enough sleep. I always feel really sick. I take a quick shower and wash my hair. I need to shopping. I have like no clothes! I grab my bluejean short shorts and my pink Hollister shirt with my sparkly Toms. I grabbed my NorthFace Roo and headed downstairs. I'm supposed to go to the mall today with Sarah if she's not at some random dudes house, she handles hangovers really well, Ive only experienced one and I'll probably never drink again.

I walk outside towards my little Honda I got at the end of my freshman year. It's white and really cute, I have seat covers and a cross hanging from the review mirror. I drive towards Sarah's house, hoping she would be here since she isn't answering her calls. I finally pull up outside of her house to see her parents SUV gone which meant they were golfing and won't be back till later, but there was another car there. I parked right infront of her house turning off the engine and walking towards the door. I knock twice before I hear someone shushing other people.

"Oh hi Delilah. What's up?" Sarah asked opening the door little so that I couldn't see inside.

"We're supposed to go to the mall? Remember?" I asked holding up my keys.

"Oh, sorry I forgot. I actually have someone over so will you just go alone? I'm sorry. I promise I'll make it up to you!" Sarah said with a happy tone. I rolled my eyes and said okay before walking back to my car. I'm used to her always bailing out on me, I know she doesn't mean too but it's fine.

I arrive at the mall shortly after, going into my favorite store ever. "Express." It's styles is so mature and cute at the same time. I get some short shorts and button up shirts before heading into Hollister. I walk inside and breathe in the strong scent, I don't understand why it's so dark in here? I get a new bikini and some shirts. I love the clothes here. I walk outside and instantly run into a hard object.

"Hey, watch were your going!" I raspy voice said. Great, just my luck. I thought sarcastically.

"Oh hello Delilah." Harry said smirking at me will his friends watched us. I rolled my eyes then walked away letting my long straight brown hair fly back at the sudden turning. I heard Harry laugh as I turned the corner of the mall heading towards the front doors. I seriously hate him.

"Wait! Delilah." Harry yelled from behind me. I speeded up exiting the mall.

"Delilah!" Harry said grabbing my arm.

"What Harry?" I snapped glaring at him. I pulled my arm away from him and crossed my arms waiting for his response. He was about to say something but didn't, was he speechless? "Goodbye Harold." I said before turning and walking towards my car.

"Wait." Harry said jogging up beside me. "I need to talk to you about something." He said in a hushed tone leaning against my driver door so I couldn't get in.

"I'm listening?" I said trying to be harsh but sounding nicer than I usually am towards Harry. He's been a jerk to me ever since the first day of high school. We were really close in junior high, but for the past couple years he's been nothing but an ass to me.

"Well. Do you want to go see a movie with me, and the guys tonight?" Harry asked cockily.

"In your dreams Styles." I said opening my door but he closed it. He was way stronger than me so of course I couldn't win. "Seriously Harry! Leave me alone. I don't know what happened to you but your a total jerk to me, so don't be surprised if I don't want to see a movie with the one person who hates me the most!" I snapped at him.

"Please?" He asked with pleading eyes. And somehow, I believed him.

"F-Fine." I said in defeat. "What movie?"

"I don't know. I scary movie though." He responded with a small smile. He knows I get scared really easily.

"Okay. What time?"

"I'll pick you up at 6:30, yeah?" Harry asked moving so I could open my door.

"Okay." I simply said closing my door and starting the Honda before driving off not looking back at Harry who just stood there. I checked the time, it was half past five which meant I hand exactly an hour till Harry would pick me up. I got home unpacking my new clothes and touching up my hair and makeup.

I began to feel nervous, this will be the first time in almost three years that we've hung out without him teasing or taunting me. I smiled as I came across the picture of me and Harry when I was in 7th grade and he was in 8th. He always seemed so proud to tell everyone that I, Delilah Stewart, was his best friend. We were both so dorky looking, but underneath all this bad boy stuff Harry has made everyone believe, is that sweet little boy I met in the 4th grade who tried to kiss me. I checked the time again and it was 6:27 so I sat on the couch waiting for Harry's arrival. Ten minutes later I heard a knock on the door which caused me to jump. I got up and opened the door to see Zayn standing infront of me.

"Ready?" He asked holding out a hand.

"Sure." I said walking out and closing the door, I awkwardly ignored his hand gustier, and locked my front door. I followed Zayn to his black SUV and climbed in the back. Just my luck, I'm sitting next to Harry.

"Hey Del." Harry greeted using my old nickname.

"Don't call me that Harold." I said looking out the window. He started to call me that when we were best friends, this is the first time he's called me that in almost feels like forever. The ride is long, with Louis trying to make jokes, when he was making fun of people in our school. I ignored all of them and starred out the window.

"Hey, lighten up Del." Harry whispered into my ears making me shiver. His voice was so deep and raspy.

"I don't fit in here Harry. I shouldn't of came." I said actually telling Harry how I feel. He would only use it against me and make fun of me.

"Yes you do, we just like to joke around, don't be so uptight all the time, god." Harry said again being rude to me.

"Whatever" I muttered getting out before anyone else as we park. We all pay for our tickets, of course me, paying for my own. We ended up seeing some random scary movie which I didn't get, at all. I sat in between Harry and Zayn which was extremely AKWARD because Harry kept trying to hold my hand, and Zayn would lean into me from time to time. I didn't even focus of the movie. I had my hands in my lap while the guys had their arms on the arm rests.

"Did you like it?" Niall asked everyone as we exited the movie theater. I didn't answer, I don't feel welcomed here at all. I was the only girl here which made it more awkward.

"I didn't think you'd actually come Delilah." Liam said giving me a warm smile. He wasn't as mean as the rest but he still teased me.

"Me either." I agreed getting into the SUV. Harry rested his hand on my upper thigh which I tried to remove but he would just put it back on there. I finally gave up and he smiled to himself knowing he had won. We dropped off Liam, then Louis, then Niall, and now me. I watched as Zayn turned down my street and pulled into my driveway.

"Thanks Zayn." I said before sliding over, losing the skin contact with Harry.

"No problem babe." Zay said before I shut the door. I walked up to the door knowing both Harry and Zayn were starring at me. I unlocked my door and stepped inside. I was about to close the door when it stopped.

"Can I come in?" Harry asked before walking into my house. Seriously Harry. He knows how much we dislike each other and yet he still try's to be around me.
