Mackenzie's P.O.V.

I froze as I saw them walking towards us.

"What are they doing here?" I whispered to Jackie, who was now beside me.

"Hey!" I Louis called at us, waving.

"Why aren't you guys in school?" Taylor asked them once they were close enough.

"We could ask you the same question" Harry replied, raising his eyebrows.

"We have a charity event to go to" Chai told him, folding her arms.

I felt stupid just standing there but I was too shy to talk openly around people I didn't know.

The girls explained what the bakesale was for and the guys decided they were gonna go.

Great.

Just great.

Before long the boys left.

"Guys, I need a shower badly" I told the girls as we made our way back inside the house.

I got a shower and got dressed in this.

I was really nervous about the bakesale now.

I didn't understand the gangs sudden interest in us.

I mean, yeah, summer had been.. interesting.

I had worked hard to change my appearance.

I started doing a lot more exercise to lose weight.

I drank a lot of water, and began eating healthier to clear my skin.

Senior year had to be different.

I was sick of being the chubby, ugly girl that no one cared about.

And now, I was being noticed by people and it scared me.

I hated having any attention at all on me.

My phone beeping distracted me from my train of thought.

Unknown Number ~ Hey! This is Niall. Hope to see you later at the bakesale :)

My eyes widened at the message.

Niall Horan, one of the most popular guys in the school had texted me.

Last year, he would never have taking any notice of me at all.

Niall was my all-time childhood crush.

He was so funny in class, he seemed to be a generally sweet boy, and lets face it - he was cute.

As I got older though I realised a guy like Niall would never go for someone like me.

He was a member of the popular gang.

He dated girls in the popular group.

That was how it was.

Still, it didn't stop me from admiring him.

I envied his ability to make people like his so easily.

I could hardly talk to people I didnt know so I found it extremely difficult to make friends.

"Mac! C'mon we're going in 5 minutes!" I heard Jackie yell from downstairs.

I took a deep breath.

"Coming!" I yelled back, before locking my phone.
