Signs Of Love - [Harry Styles]

02. Lucky

I heard Ben's alarm go off, he always has it on so loud it probably wakes up everyone else in the building except him. I don't know how can someone sleep so tightly and not hear anything around him. Someone could even kidnap him in the middle of the night and he'd probably still be sleeping.

I looked at my clock. 9:00. I can sleep for another half and hour, which is thrilling, but then I have to get to class.

Before I knew it I heard my alarm go off, which was a million times quieter than Ben's. That half an hour really passed by quickly. I got out of bed, made my way to the bathroom and got ready for my lectures. I must admit, I never really spent too much time getting ready for class, even though I always liked to look flawlessly put together. But you know, I don't want to get up another half an hour earlier. Minimal makeup, mascara and a bit of eyeliner was totally enough. Today I wore black skinny jeans, coral shirt, black leather jacket, black bag in which I put my binder and pens and last but not least, my favorite shoes – white Allstars.

I walked towards the college, that is not too far from our apartment, so I always have time to eat my breakfast. Today I took with me a banana.

I arrived at the lecture hall just five minutes before the class started. Today I opted for a seat in the back, I was really too tired to sit in the front. But any other day, I preferred to sit in the front. I liked being there and paying attention to the professor. I absolutely loved this college. Everything we learned here was really interesting. I never regretted the decision to move to London and study here. But once in a while, everyone has a bad day and isn't capable of thinking too much, am I right?

"Hello, students. It is nice to see you all in class again and in this high numbers. I hope you are well rested after this one week break and have the strength to carry on."

Oh, no. Not this speech again. It's the same story after every break, I thought. I really didn't feel like listening to him.

"While you were gone, we were invited to participate on a project. The professorial staff has decided to pick the top three students to work on this project. We decided to pick the most diligent students, the ones we could count on. Let me get straight to who we picked. Luke, Jack and Sarah."

Me, what? What just happened? I wasn't really paying attention to what he was saying. What do I have to do? I was really confused.

"So, please report to the staff room after this class where you will  get further instructions."

Oh well, I'll just go to the staff room I guess, and see what this is all about. I hope I didn't do something wrong.

The class was over pretty quickly and I was already on my way to the second floor where the staff room is. As I got to the door I found Jack and Luke already waiting there, looking completely excited. Maybe I could be excited too, if I actually knew why I was here. But I didn't so I listened to the professor carefully. I was really mad with myself for not listening in class.

"Please, follow me." the professor said and closed the door. "Take a seat, you can take some cookies or pour yourself a cup of tea, if you'd like."

"Thank you." I said and grabbed the teapot to pour us all a cup.

'Baaam!' A sharp noise echoed through the room and I could see the broken cup was lying on the floor along with some spilt tea.

"Oops, I'm so sorry." I said.

Today just isn't my day.

"Oh, no problem." the professor answered.

"Do you have dishrag around here somewhere so that I can clean this up?" I asked, but at the same moment another professor was already in front of me, moping up the spilt tea.

"Thank you. I truly am sorry, I didn't mean to."

"Happens to the best of us." the professor said and smiled. I was probably getting more and more red in the face.

"Well, let's not waist any more time, shall we. I'd like to move straight into the project details if you all agree?"

We all nodded.

"So, we're talking about a project, based on the film industry. Actually, it's filming the new music video for the group One Direction."

One Direction? I almost spilled the cup of tea again. I admit, it did come as a surprise. My mouth was wide open and my eyes were about to pop from their sockets. I've never been more surprised in my life.

The professor told us some more details after we calmed down a little. He gave us all the important information and we were free to go home in about an hour.
