'I hope so,' he shakes his head again. We sit there in silence for a few minutes until a loud bang and a crash could be heard from downstairs. 'What the hell is that...?' Marcel says, looking over at his door. A few moments later, Harry comes bursting in through the door yelling,

'Oh what the f*ck, no girls I ever date turn out to be nice and respectful,' he starts kicking the floor and Marcel runs up to try to calm him down.

'Harry, Harry, it's alright. I'm FaceTiming Sara, calm down.' Harry stops kicking the floor and sits down angrily in front of Marcel's iPad which is propped up against his desk.

'Hey Sara,' he says quietly.

'Hey, you alright?'

'No, that bitch just broke up with me,' he shakes his head.

'Harry, she was a bitch anyway, you just didn't...' I hesitate,'realise it.' He looks down, ashamed. 'Harry, come on. It'll be easy getting over her.' He nods.

'I'll um, I need to go sorry. I need to change my Facebook relationship status to single yet again.' It's my turn to nod.

'Hey, Sara, I need to do homework so I kinda need to go too, sorry.' We say our goodbyes. I scroll through my contacts until I find someone I want to talk to. Liam's name appears. I take a deep breath in as I realise we're supposed to go bowling this weekend. I quickly press the call button and put the phone up to my ear. It rings three times before he picks up.

'Sara?'

'Yep, it's me! Hi!' I answer happily.

'Why are you calling me?' His surprised tone gets me worried.

'I don't know if you remember but you asked if I would like to go bowling this weekend. Still want to?'

'Oh! Yes! Sorry, forgot about that. I mean, yeah, I would love to go. Saturday at six o'clock?'

'Yeah! Sounds good,' I smile.

'Cool, I'll see you then. Bye,' he quickly says.

'Bye,' I reply before he ends the call. I get out my post-its and write bowling with Liam tomw @ 18:00.

I hear my ringtone play and I look over to see Niall calling. I hesitate before picking up.

'Hey, Niall...' I say drifting slightly at the end.

'Hey, um, I was wondering if you would like to go on a date. This weekend. Would you like to go bowling or something?'

'Aw, s*it. Niall I'm sorry but on Saturday at six I'm going bowling with Liam. But we could meet up for lunch on Sunday...?' I say hopefully.

'Yeah, sounds good. I'll pick you up at 11.'

'We are we going?'

'Just, dress up nicely.' He ends the call before we say goodbye to each other. I turn to my post-it and write underneath the previous note: lunch with Niall Sun @ 11:00. Since when did I become so popular? Next thing it'll be Louis calling wanting to see a movie tonight or something. My ringtone calls out to me again.

It's frickin Louis. I pick up anyway.

'Hey Sara!' He says quickly.

'Hey... Louis!' I say, pausing shortly between the two words.

'Sorry, short notice. Wanna go see a movie tonight?' I almost groan but I grit my teeth, breathe in and reply.

'Sure, when is the movie?'

'In thirty minutes. Be there in five,' he hangs up. I panic and run to my wardrobe grabbing a nice floral tshirt and plain white jeans. I take off my original clothes (a tshirt and denim jeans) and put the two new clothing items on. I grab my pair of nude flats and hop around trying to get them on. I rush to the mirror and brush my hair quickly. I spray some perfume quickly and run downstairs when I hear the doorbell go.

'Hey!' I say as I open the door. Louis stands there, holding red roses and wearing a smart button-down and jeans.

'I um, I got these for you,' he says handing me the flowers.

'Aw, thanks Louis.' I take them gratefully. 'Come in whilst I put these in a vase.' I say whilst walking to the kitchen. I hear the door close behind me. I take out a vase from the cupboard in the kitchen, fill it with water and place the roses gently into it. Louis comes into the kitchen as I turn around.

'Ready?' He asks.

'Yup,' I say walking towards him. He stops me, holding my arm softly.

'You look, really nice right now,' I turn to face him properly.

'Thanks,' I whisper. He edges close to me and I do the same. He lets his arm travel from my arm to my waist. He slowly brings me closer towards him. He leans down slightly. I tilt my head up. We slowly come together and our lips meet. I retract after a few seconds.

'Sorry,' he whispers.

'Why?'

'Did you mind that?'

'Not at all,' I whisper.

'Good,' he comes in again, more forcefully. We kiss for about a minute. 'We should really get going,' he says after we take a breath.

'Yeah,' I giggle. He takes my hand and leads me to his car. An Audi R8 etron. 'Awesome car,' I say.

'Thanks,' he smiles and opens the door car for me. I step in and buckle myself in. Seconds later, he comes and sits in the drivers seat. 'What movie do you want to see?'

'I don't mind.'

'Okay, cool.'

-----

We watched Guardians of the Galaxy which was pretty awesome. We got into the car again and sit there for a few minutes.

'Wanna go back to my place?' He asks quietly, his hand on my leg.

'Um, sorry, but I have some homework to do, maybe another time...' I say drifting off.

'Right, sorry,' he says and then drives off.

'S*it! I forgot to leave my mum a note!' I say as we were halfway home.

'Don't worry I told my dad to tell your mum,' Louis replies.

'Oh, thanks!'

-----

He leads me to my door, before knocking he turns to me and says;

'Would you, like to, um, be my girlfriend?' S*it, what do I do? I have two more dates this weekend and I can't go to them taken already!

'I...' I hesitate whilst Louis stands there anticipating every answer, 'I'll get back to you, sorry.' I quickly say before taking out my keys which I put in my pocket before exiting. I open the door quickly and say a quick goodbye to Louis.

I stand there with my back to the door for a few minutes. My mum hadn't returned yet.

Well, better get upstairs and get into bed quickly so I'm ready for tomorrow I guess...
