Starstruck

"You are up next" a black-haired man said. I revert back , I'll be out in a minute" . He gives me a tired face and leaves. I put my high heels on and went out. I find myself under a spotlight and soothing music starts.A minute later,I sat on a chair and started singing a made-up story by Andi Mitchell. After finishing the song ,some people give me an applause and whistle-mostly teenagers who think they are my age and totally make a move – while some just nod their heads along .After that song, I played another of my songs, but, halfway through ,the owner of the café plugged the speakers off and gestured me to get back to work.“Thank you! New Yorkers, see you next Saturday” I shouted at them while people booed at the owner of the café. The owner looks at me pointedly, so I take back the mic and say,”I am so sorry guys, but I really have to go ,otherwise I might lose my job. Unfortunately, my boss is a little grumpy right now, but I promise you ,I will make it up by singing h

I returned to Harry."So sorry, I had no idea he could say that. " I had a little idea though. I mean, this is just a teaser of what my dear bestie can do. "No problem, is he your brother?" He asks eyeing him."God NO!he is my best friend, my person.""Okay, so where were we?" he asked, straight out flirting with me."You were just stating the facts" I said, smirking at him."I don't remember what I said ,exactly. Was it you-are-so-good one or you-should-audition-for-a-show-taking-place-here?""What?" What show? "There's a show , a singing show with an opportunity for the winner to go to L.A. and live a famous and successful life here . You really are very talented and I think you might be the one.""What?" I could totally imagine my eyes as wide as sockets or a full pan.He just chuckled."You, Claire ,have been given an opportunity to share your talent with the world ,not just a small locality."I am so totally NOT being a confused child and blinking again and again thinking and ta

I was halfway through my shift when I got a message. ANONYMOUS: "Hey love, how are you?".Who is this person? Is he him? NO, it's not possible. Last time I saw him he was going to jail and was in a court, his hands in handcuffs. Is he back? I get goosebumps thinking about him. I get this urge to itch my skin , like there are a million ants crawling all over my body It cannot be possible. I am just hallucinating or this is some poor prank by some horny teenager in desperate need of attention or something. I look around me for any cameras , or any sign of him but do not find any . I find some courage to write a message back with my heart racing. ME: Who are you? ANONYMOUS: You don't remember me?Oh my god! This is not possible. It can't be. My breath hitches. I repeat my message once again with shaky hands. ME: If you don't want to be reported, I ask again WHO. ARE. YOU.? ANONYMOUS: WOAH! Calm down Claire , it's me , Harry . I was just joking , sorry if I scared you. Thank Go

I arrived at the venue. I looked around me and saw Shawn waving . "Hey Shawn or should I say 'captain hottie '" I said with a salute and a smirk ." Well, I like Captain Hottie more . What do you think of 'sass master'?" he says with a smirk. "What did you just call me?" I said having fun with this . I think shawn is somewhat like my friend ,even though we don't know each ,he gives me good vibes ."Hey, were you dreaming about me and you on our wedding day?" Shawn raises his eyeborws and smirks.."Not even in your wildest dreams, Shawn" . I say mimicking his expression."See, that's why I called you sass master. " he explained with a frown."Whatever" I said and rolled my eyes."'Whatever'" he mimics me and rolls his eyes and then starts laughing.At that moment, I saw that Shawn had crinkles near his eyes .He is kinda cute with his deep brown eyes .My phone rings and i answer it .'Hey harry-' I say but harry cuts me off."WHERE ARE YOU CLAIRE? YOU KNOW WHAT! I AM COMING RIGHT NOW ,

Harry's POV:i wake up and after taking a shower , i go to starbucks for my daily dose of caffeine. i got my order punched and was waiting for it when two girls come near me with a shy smile." hey girls, do you need anything?" i ask them "hi harry, can i get a pic with you?""yeah sure love,come here"we click a few pictures and then girl with long hair asks sheepishly ,"can i ask u a question?"
