I was on my way to Cambridge Uni once again and this time their were no stops or distractions. I hope he didn't recognize me. Of course he didn't! I look nothing like I did 3 years ago!
I walked towards the field, round the back of Uni, and made my way to where I usually sit.
Already there was Ash (in picture).
She was sitting there listening to music. I sat down next to her and she quickly stopped playing it and flashed me a fake smile- I knew what she was listening to.
"Oh, do please continue listening to that boy band One Direction!" I said sarcasm oozing out of my mouth.
Okay, yes I'm acting different then I was before, do I care?!
"Sorry Jess. Maybe you should try lis-"
"No! I don''t listen to music- especially not them!" I cut her off. She hung her head. Then lifted it back up again with a huge grin on her face.
"Guess what?!" She announced happily.
"What?" I replied.
"The school's doing another one of it's famous surprises!" She squealed in excitement while I just groaned. Every year or so Cambridge does this thing where a celebrity comes to school and tries to 'influence' us to follow our dreams and what not. But all the time it's either a footballer or a model, or a has-been, all of which could never inspire me!
"When?" I moaned.
"TODAY!" She squeaked trying to keep her cool.
"What's the first hint then!" I said pretending to be interested which made her frown.
"There genre is music!" She happily shrieked, "I know you say you're not into music but you so are! I've seen you listening to music around school and I'm sure I once heard you play the piano!"
"Me?! Are you joking!? I hate music, I wouldn't listen to music if my life depended on it!" I barked. She, once again, frowned. 
"Fine but you're still coming to see who it is with me! And you have no choice!" She told me.
I was about to protest but the bell went. I groaned and got up and walked towards the lab where today we were going to help a lamb with a kidney problem- ironic right?
***
"Right! Today we're going to look on signs of kidney failure or kidney problems, then I will give you  a 'lamb' and you must diagnose it if it does have kidney failure or what!" Mr Dennis yelled, "Any questions?"
And of course, Perky Marie put her hand up- what was wrong with that kid?
"Yes Marie!" Mr Dennis announced.
"What if it's not complete kidney failure but one kidney is dis-functioning?" Marie asked. 
God! I couldn't help it! I raised my hand and everyone stared at me. I hardly ever helped anyone - let alone Marie.
"Miss Fall do you have an answer or a comment?" Mr Dennis wondered, he was truly confused at why I raised my hand.
"Well Sir," I raised my feet onto the desk in front of me, "If your 'lamb'" I said using air quotes for 'lamb', "has a failure in one kidney, you have to make sure you diagnose it correctly because it's easier to spot it in two kidneys than one because there have been multiple times where veterinarians have diagnosed a kidney failure in one kidney but when they start to operate they relies the lamb or sheep or whatever has been poisoned, has been fed to many treats or just simply has a lob-sided kidney, meaning one kidney is larger than the other not kidney failure at all so there was no reason to operate." I finished
Everyone was obviously shocked at my knowledge of this. Everyone stared at me with wide eyes and open mouths- even Ash!
I turned to everyone.
"Shut your mouths or swallow a fly" I spat.
Some people instantly shut their mouths at the sound of my voice and others were in to much shock to notice.
"W-ell t-t-than-k you Miss F-Fall for you c-contr-ribution" 
EVEN MR DENNIS WAS SHOCKED! God it's like they don't even know me... Oh wait! They don't! 
***
It was lunch and Mr Dennis had already told us all the signs and after lunch we would all be having our 'lamb' to diagnose. 
I was peacefully sitting in my tree when a screaming Ash and Maisie ran up to me.
"WHAT?!" I snapped.
"Good afternoon to you too!" Maisie gave me the same amount of attitude.
"You're right May May that was bad manners," they looked at me with shock, "Good afternoon Maisie and Ashley now do mind telling me WTF YOU WANT?!" 
"Thank God you said that! I thought you were actually turning nice!" Ash mocked.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" I repeated.
"SECOND CLUE!" Ash sang
I groaned. I thought we were over that!
Maisie opened the envelop and read:
They’re British 
Maisie squealed.
"Why are you so happy? All we know is they're British and somehow related to music?" It then clicked. They're. Meaning more than one. I'm sure my face said it all.
"Figured it out?!" Ash jumped up and down with excitement. 
 "So there's more than one of them... Doesn't mean it-"
"ONE DIRECTION!" May May and Ash screamed together.
I groaned and threw my head back.
"IT'S DEFINITELY THEM!" Maisie screamed.
"You don't know that!" I retorted.
"Yes, actually we're 95% sure" Maisie replied.
"Well don't you want to know how we know?!" Maisie continued
"No not really" I said knowing it'd annoy them.
"Well," it didn't, "Today at 6:45 Louis Tomlinson was seen talking to some girl outside of Starbucks when she suddenly screamed 'OH MY GOD IT'S LOUIS TOMLINSON!' and ran off."
OH MY GOD! THAT WAS ME! I WAS THAT GIRL! I'M FAMOUS! hahahaha lol I don't give one.
"So that means he's here in Cambridge! And he and the rest of the band were sited exiting Starbucks through the back door!" Maisie said proudly.
"Stalkers" I whispered 
"Hey I heard that!" Ash cried
"You were supposed to!" I smirked.
