 ((A/U:HEY!Okay,quick thing.My stories?Yeah,they end up moving really fast because I have such a tight schdual for writing so I really have to watch my time.So chapters may be short and the story line may move fast but hey,I get my point across so ANYWAY HERE YA GO ENJOY/REVEIW? :) ))

 Chapter One: God Bless Terri.

 My life consists of three major things:Coffee,singing,and dog walking.Why?Because I'm a sad little 17-year-old with a horrid job and a very small social life.But sometimes good things happen to even the most invisible people,and sometimes they change your life.

   My story starts on the corner of 1st and 3rd,in my favorite little coffee shop,Java La Juice,as a stood in line groggily.I was five people back,standing beside the table by the door,which was taken by two girls about two years younger than me.And being the polite person I am,I eves-dropped on their conversation.

"Did you check you're twitter this morning?"The blonde girl asked.

"Yeah,why?"Answered the little brunette across from her.

"And you didn't have a heart-attack?Did you not see what Liam posted!"

     Oh lovely.More One Direction stalkers.Don't get me wrong,I love One Directions music,but I don't understand people who live their lives making sure they're updated on their twitters,tumblrs,facebooks,and even Harry's old MySpace!HE DOESN'T EVEN USE IT ANYMORE,and don't ask me how I know that...

"What'd he post?"

"They're here!In Todmorden!"

"Shut.Up."The brunette said excitedly,setting her frapochino down,and goggling at her friend.

"I know,right?Like here of all places!"

      I did agree with them.It was rather odd of such a  high-named band to be here in Tomorden. It's a rather small place in West Yorkshire.

"Well,Louis IS from South Yorkshire,so,"

"Yeah but this is WEST,you dingbat."

"Ooooo."

     Oi,listening to these girls were going to melt my brain cells,I just knew it.

"Yeah,"The blonde continued,"he said they were here for some kind of charity thingy.You know,for the sick kids.S'posed to be performing Saturday."

"Shut up!"

"I know!"

   That's it.I'm cutting line to get away from these bimbos.And I did.I cut ahead of a few people,earning some dirty looks,but I was late for work anyway.

"Normal tall coffee,cream and sugar."I told the lady,handing her the money.She handed it to me after a minute and I left the shop in haste.

"Oh my God,do you think we could get Harry to sign our 1D crop tops?!"I heard the brunette say happily as I passed them,out the door.I rolled my eyes and headed down the block tords the apartment complex.

        I sipped my coffee as I climbed the stairs to apartment B4,home of old Mrs.Keenen,my most regular customer,and a dear woman.Tips good,too.

      I got to the door and tapped out a tune,earning a chores of yeps from Terri,her little Yorky.I heard the many locks on her door unlatch and soon I was standing in front of the graying woman.She beamed at me and handed a pink rhine-stoned leash.

"Hello,dear."She greeted.

"Hello,Mrs.K."I said,crouching to the ground,and scooping up the little Yorky who was running circles around my feet.

"Take her the long way 'round the park today,Amata.I have a hair appointment and wont be back until noon.Could you do that?"

"Of course,m'am.No issue."I stood back up right,the leash wrapped around my fist tight.

"Oh good,"She put her hands together and smiled,"Lovely seeing you,hon.Bye bye,pooky."She cooed at the dog,and closed the door.

"Well,Terri.Just you and me."I said,looking down at the dog.it barked up at me,"Well then lets go."

      You would think that a little 3-year-old yorky pup would be no problem for a 17-year-old who has made a career out of dog walking for 4 years,right?WRONG.This dog wanted to sniff EVERYTHING.Even if it was across three lanes of traffic. It didn't care.

But the good thing was that I only had Terri today.Most days I had three or four dogs on the trail,but today,just Terri and I walked through the park.

       There was a group of boys about my age,playing football in feild as we passed by.About five of them.I glanced over once as one of them ran down field tords the goal closest to me.

"He comes in for the kick!"The boy yelled,"He gets closer!"

"Not gunna make it!"Said the blonde one, guarding the goal.

       I chuckled,rolling my eyes slightly and turning my head back to the trail.

"He shoots!"The boy yelled again,right before I felt a pain in the side of my head,knocking me off my feet.

"You bumbling idiot!"Another boy yelled.But I couldn't see him,since I had just been knocked sideways into the grass and off the sideway.

              Next thing I knew,I was being lifted to my feet by one of the boys playing ball.

"Are you alright?Oh my God,I'm so sorry!"

I shook my head,trying to gather my thoughts when I looked down at my hand.No rhine stones.

"Leash."I mumbled,looking up to the sideway trail.

"Pardon?"

"No leash.TERRI."And sure enough,there went that stupid little dog,just a bookin' it down the street.

"What?"

And without thinking,I grabbed the boys hand and began pulling him down the street with me,after the dog.I started yelling the dogs name as we chased after it,and the boy by my side soon did the same,as I let go of his hand.

    We chased the dog down all the way through the park,neither of us looking to see who the other one was.We just need to get that damn yorky back.

      Finally the boy raced ahead of me and stepped on dogs leash.Terri jerked back and fell.

"Gotcha."The boy said.I stopped running and put my hands on my knees.

"Terri,you evil little rat."I said,as he handed me the leash end.

"Your dog?"

"No.Just one I walk."

  And for the first time,I looked up at the man who helped me,and I thought my eyes were playing tricks.He had brown curly hair,green eyes,and a wide smile.

Harry Styles.

"Oh."I said in shock."Uhm,thanks for your h-help,by the way."

"No problem.I'm Harry."As if I didn't know.He held out his hand,and I took it.

"I'm Amata.Nice to meet you."I shook it.

"Likewise."

"Well..."I  said after a moment of silence,"You should probably get back to your mates.Thanks for your help."

"Anytime,"He said with a grin,"Sorry about the football."

"Ah,no harm no fowl."

     I turned and began walking back down the park trail,dragging Terri along with me.Stupid dog.I didn't know weather to kill her or kiss her,because on one hand,she ran off and got me broad-sided with a football,and on the other,she sparked a convo between me and Harry Styles.

****

"YOU HAD A CONVERSATION WITH HARRY STYLES AND DIDN'T CALL ME?"

"Well,I didn't think."I said,plopping down on my best friends bed,and grabbing a pillow.

"I'm tempted to end my friendship with you.Where the others there?!"She yelled,pacing the room.

"I don't know,"I answered honestly,hugging the pillow,"Maybe.I think I saw Niall."

"NIALL?!Oh now it's over.Our friendship is over.OVER.NADA.GONE."

"Well it just goes to show that those girls who spend their lives stalking them to mearly get a glimps of them are wasting their time.Because fate ultamitly has the upperhand."

"Yeah,"Abbye said,looking up at her Niall poster skeptically,"But there's a very low chance you'll ever see them again."

"Trust me,I know.It was just nice to meet Harry at all.I know it was a one time thing..."
