"Is there something wrong?" Jessie asked as she handed me a napkin

"No, not at all" I lied, wiping the water off of my mouth

"Well, that spit-take doesn't make me believe you" She smirked

I never told them about Harry, and I wasn't going to start now

I just wanted to forget he was ever in my life, since he wasn't going to just reappear back into my life

So telling them wouldn't help anything but drag on me

If I told them, they would just ask more and more questions, I really didn't want to bother

"I've just- Um- I" I couldn't even get out a proper sentence

"Just tell us" Bella asked with a worried tone

"I need more water" I stood up and went to the volunteer cashier

"Could I have a water?" I asked handing his a loonie (1 dollar- Canada)

"Water's been raised to $2.50, sorry" He apologised

"Oh" I sighed and took my loonie back

"I'll pay for her" A cute guy who was waiting behind me stepped up and handed the cashier a 5 dollar bill

He had messy blonde and brown hair with light green/blue eyes

His brown/blonde hair looked natural, it was probably highlights

He had a strong, fit body. You could tell her worked out. It wasn't crazy muscular but just the right amount. He was pretty hot

"No, it's fine" I smiled

I didn't like having people pay for my things, it just felt like I would always owe them back

"No, it's my pleasure" He smiled

"Oh a gentleman, not too many of those around anymore" I joked

"The name's Keith, and you beautiful?" He smiled

"Lily" I blushed

Keith took the water from the cashier

"Your change" The cashier held out his hand full of change to Keith

Keith shook his head "Keep the change bro" He smiled

"Thanks man"

"So, here's your water" Keith grinned a flirty grin at me

"Thanks" I smiled

"Wanna come sit with me?" He asked

"Where are you sitting?"

"At that table" He winked as he pointed to the 'popular' group

Full of dumb football players and slutty hoes

No offence, I don't think football is dumb or anything, it's just the guys at my school that play it are beyond stupid and don't know how to multiply by twos

I rolled my eyes "Oh, you're one of them"

"What do you mean?" He asked with a tone of hurt

"I don't like hanging out with.. Those type of people, sorry" I forced a smile

"Well, do you want to sit alone together?" He asked

"Why are you trying so hard?" I laughed

"Because, I think you're a beautiful girl and I'm a little tired of all those girls throwing themselves at me" He gestured to the girls wearing half shirts and shorts so short you could easily mistake them for underwear

"Hmmmm, I might like you" I joked

"I think I might too" He said looking into my eyes

"You guys are holding up the line!" A girl shouted from the back

"Right" I giggled

Keith and I walked over to an empty table and sat together

"Lets play 21 questions" He smiled

"Sure" I laughed

"Favourite animal?"

"Ummmm dogs, hamsters, anything cute and cuddly. Oh snakes too!" I said

"Snakes aren't very cuddly" He smirked

"Yes they are!" I told him

"Aha okay, your turn"

I thought for a moment "Favourite colour?"

"Mint green, don't ask why, I just love it" He laughed

We went through many more questions, I am pretty sure it was over 21

"Childhood friend?" He asked

I hesitated

"Um, Harry" I whispered

"What?"

"Harry" I said slightly louder

"Oh cool, how long have you guys been friends?"

"It's kinda hard to answer that.." I trailed off

"Oh, are you guys dating or something?" He asked

I shook my head "I haven't seen him since we were little kids"

"Oh, maybe one day you will... Your turn" He gave me a "I'm just smiling cause I feel bad for you" smile

"What do you want to be when you're older?"

"A therapist, I like listening and helping people" He flashed a warm, genuine smile

"And you?" He asked

"You're gonna laugh" I blushed

"I promise I won't" He put his hand over his heart and I laughed

"I wanna be a singer" I blushed

I can't believe I only met this guy today, and I'm telling him my most kept secrets! He's just, so easy to talk to!

"I bet you will be one day"

"Thanks" I giggled

The bell rang

"Whats your number?" He asked

"I'll punch it into your phone" I smiled

"Alright babe"

He passed me his iPhone and I quickly put in my number

"I'll text you tonight!" He yelled as we walked away

"Sounds great" I said, too quiet for him to hear, more to myself

I smiled as I walked to my locker

"So, you're flirting up Keith Walters?" Katie, the most 'popular' girl in school said as she stood beside my locker and smirked

By popular, I mean the only thing popular about her is her mouth. All the guys know about it, if you know what I mean, she's been down on every popular guy ever, even the hot grade twelves

She never really talks to me, since I avoid her at all costs. I don't need the drama

"Noo, we were just talking" I said not making eye contact

I didn't want to be turned into stone by the evil queen herself

"Well, you better not. He's mine" She hissed

"Mmmmmmhhhhhhhmmmmm" I mumbled

"Excuse you?" She growled

"Um, yes?" I trailed off

"Watch the attitude" She said in her high pitched voice

It was like nails on a chalkboard

"I'm not giving you attitude" I muttered

"Respect me" She glared

"Why? You're no special"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing"

"Oh I heard you alright, you're gonna pay for that" She whispered before walking off

I shrugged and grabbed the rest of my stuff before heading off to art class

"We're going to be doing water colour paintings!" The art teacher, Ms. Nicole exclaimed

The class groaned, except for me. I love art, except dancing, I suck at dancing

Ms. Nicole is very young for a teacher, about 25? She has orangey-brown curly hair that looks so good on her, its very natural and it goes well with her freckles and super pale skin. She also had bright green eyes. Like they were crazy bright!

"Now, we're going to be doing realistic art!" She smiled

The class groaned again

"Oh don't fret my lovely students! As long as you try and effort is made, I guarantee a fabulous mark!" She said gracefully walking around the room

"I want you guys to paint anything you want! From the heart is better than from the mind" She said before running off to a pile of canvas

"Can we have a scrap piece of paper?" A girl from the back asked

"Nope! I want this from the heart!" She smiled as the class groaned

I decided to paint the city fading from night to day

I painted light blues and darkened them as I reached the other side of the canvas. I made tiny clouds and built on them, some bigger, some smaller

I heard some murmurs here and there about how good my art was, I shrugged it off

Compliments are full of lies anyways

I was about to start on the stars in the sky when the bell rang

"You can finish up next class guys, good work!" Ms. Nicole bubbled with excitement

"I'll hang them around the room! Or maybe the school hallways!" She said as everyone left the room

That would be nice I guess, don't really care that much

I try not to get my hopes up, because nothing will ever meet your expectations, and then in the end, you're just let down and feeling sorry for yourself

I went through the rest of my classes without a care and when the last bell rang, I sighed in relief

"Get me out of here" I muttered as I gathered my things from my locker

"Why are you leaving so soon?" Katie appeared as I shut my locker

"Going home after being here for most of my day" I smiled and started to walk away when she stopped me in my tracks

"No no no, you're gonna pay for earlier today" She snarled

"I really don't need to start a fight" I said before continuing to walk the deserted halls

"Maybe I wanna start one" She smirked

Katie didn't exactly look like a fighter but.. She could probably make you bleed with her razor sharp press-on nails or with her skyscraper high heels. Or she could probably choke you with her pounds of makeup or tickle you to death with her jumbo false lashes

"Look Katie, I really just want to go home" I sighed and walked out the doors

Surprisingly, she left me alone. So I went home and flopped onto my couch

I turned on the TV, something I haven't done in ages, and it was on a gossip channel

"One Direction's flirty heartthrob, Harry Styles, sure has been making his way up with the ladies. Here he is seen with Caroline Flack, a women who is obviously, a little too old for the 17 year old, she being 33! What do you think of all this 'cougar dating'?" The gossip report laughed and I cringed

I didn't like the fact that I would probably never see Harry again, but now I have to face the fact that I will be tortured a lot, due to this. His face will be on hundreds of magazines, TV specials and gossip channels. His voice will be everywhere too. The radio, anywhere that carries music and CDs

I turned off the TV and shook my head

"Just deal with it" I sighed

*Authour's note*

Hey guys, I know that everything doesn't match the history timeline with the X Factor and Harry dating Caroline, but to just make it a little more clear, One Direction hasn't 'lost' the X Factor yet. I don't know if they dated during or after the X Factor, but I'm guessing its after? Lol I'm not a hardcore directioner and if fact, I have to double check most things on google.. Haha. I just love writing about them, it's quite fun to work with their personalities. So don't send me hate for not knowing every little detail. I can change whatever I want to change :)
