Not My Type

@ Halliwell
@ Bangarang!
I didn't change much. Just worded stuff different and added a few things.

I actually found a pic of the FC for Sky along with the FC for Addie


Sky Barrett is a girl who doesn't have it easy. She is an eighteen year old who raises her nine year old sister, Addie because her drunk father isn't capable and she tries to avoid her mother who is really only trying to help. Working two jobs and taking care of Addie, Sky didn't have much free time in her life. She doesn't have a boyfriend, she doesn't go out, and she frankly doesn't want to. Sky never had the slightest interest in One Direction and especially found Harry Styles revolting. She felt she would have to have someone responsible and not one who would duck anything in a skirt. Her sister was a big fan of One Direction though, especially Harry and always got him as her quiz result when taking 1D dream guy tests which is what she did in her spare time. When Sky got the letter, she was confused, only to find out Addie had taken the test and used her information. Not able to turn it down, Sky sends Addie to their moms and heads to London, afraid she'll hate every minute of it.

Harry Styles is suffering from tabloids that pin him as a player which isn't entirely false. He does have a tendency to flirt with a number of women but he does have an extent. He's not a total dick and has feelings but it takes the right girl. He was really hurt about a year ago and he has this front put up so he won't get hurt again so before he gets too close, he pushes them away.

The Relationship :
When Sky first meets Harry, she is immediately put off by his flirting and charm. Especially when he practically tries to flirt with every girl. When they get to the resort, the sleeping arrangements are immediately an issue. She decides to sleep on the couch which Harry verbally disagrees very loudly. When the couples challenges start, Harry and Sky do the worst due to them being very hard-headed people. After a week of constant torture and the couple losing all the challenges, Sky's father dies, sending the two to Colorado for his fathers funeral. During the time the two are in the states, Sky opens up to Harry and let's her walls down and so does he. When the two get back to London, they are closer than most but it only takes old flames and bad tabloids to ruin it.

Ooooo i love it :)

@ Bangarang!
I'm glad! Sam is making out layout. I put in the request earlier.

Also would you guys be okay with not putting Zayn in the story? Then Niall could be the only one that doesn't have bad press?

@ Bangarang!
@ Halliwell

Let me know what you guys think so I can let Sam know.

@ EmzyStilinski
I love both the banner and layout.

We could base this as during the period of hiatus they're on now? So there's enough time for them to disappear while bonding with the girls without causing too much concern and once they're back in the UK their images are cleaned up and they're seen a more level-headed, more mature and able to take 1D into that direction as a foursome.

Also, as the layout's good, should we create a new story body for it to be added onto and delete our old one now?

That sounds all great. I think we should make a new story body.

@ EmzyStilinski
@ Bangarang!

I've made one and added you both.

@ Halliwell
Cool beans! I like what the summary says as well

@ Bangarang!
@ Halliwell
Layout is up and I added credit for Natalia and Sam.

@ Halliwell
Sounds like a good plan :) can't wait haha

I came up with this for the prologue. I was thinking that maybe an article rather than a scene that eludes to everything. We could maybe have each girl believe they won a holiday and go along with it and only once they get there and meet one another before being summoned that they discover why they're there.

@ Halliwell
I love it! I think it will fit well and I'm excited for the reboot

@ Halliwell
That sounds amazing! I love it!

Finally posted it up. Who's supposed to be doing the first chapter? Was it me?

I honestly have no idea haha but i shall go check it out now :)

So I went ahead and done my chapter. I was thinking that maybe the girls could have a day together at the resort before the truth is flung at them, so that they can become familiar with one another before being forced onto the boys.

-

"I just want you all to know that I love you," Susie slurred, slinging her arms around Luciee and Toni's necks. They stumbled out of the student union and off down the road. "I mean it, you guys. I love you all so much."

"We love you too," Luciee laughed, staggering under the girl's weight. "Just maybe don't drink as much next time?"

"I promise. No more drinking!"

Toni let out a snort. "Okay girl."

It took them over ten minutes to reach their house and a few more moments to transfer all of Susie's weight onto Toni while Luciee dug around for the keys and opened the front door. They dragged the drunken girl in and all the way to her bedroom, letting her flop on top of the covers with a giggle. "I'm so glad we're housemates for final year," she said.

"I know," Luciee muttered, patting Susie's hair down. "You just go to sleep."

After saying goodnight, both Luciee and Toni left the room and headed into the sitting room. "I could kill Nathan," Toni said, throwing herself onto the sofa. "Combine that with it being the end of second year, and there was no way Susie was surviving tonight."

"I can't believe she actually passed."

"I know! But at least we get her for last year instead of having to find someone new. I like living here."

Luciee snorted. "It's nice for student housing."

They both got into their pyjamas and while Toni made a brew, Luciee dragged both their quilts down the stairs and onto the sofa. She bundled them together before grabbing the crisps from the cupboard and snuggling at one end of the sofa. Toni joined her a few moments later, placing the two steaming cups on the small coffee table a few feet away from the sofa.

"I need a shag," Toni whined. "I haven't had one since first year."

She gave a laugh. "You're not going to suddenly become a virgin again," she teased. "Besides, I haven't had one since the start of second year either." She grabbed her phone from where it had dropped onto the floor and unlocked the screen, noticing the notification she had for a new email.

"Are you staying for the whole summer?"

Luciee shrugged. "I dunno yet. Mum wanted me back for a little while but I haven't made up my mind."

"I think Susie's going until mid-July and then she's coming back because her parents are off on holiday then."

"Lucky," she muttered, reading the new email she had received. "Don't you just hate when spam gets into your inbox?"

"What's it say?"

"'Complete this survey and be in a chance of winning an all-expenses paid holiday,'" she read out.

Toni wedged herself next to her so that she could see her phone. "That's not all spam. I know a girl who entered one and actually won the prize."

Luciee was sceptical. "Really?"

"Yeah. It was a microwave but it's pretty much the same thing. Go on, do it!"

With a sigh, she clicked on the link and the survey opened up. She frowned as she took a peak at the different questions. "I shouldn't put my actual details in," she commented.

"Why not? You're not going to win and they're probably not even going to read your results. It's like a number generated thing, you know?"

Luciee glared at her friend suspiciously. "You do these all the time, don't you?"

Toni grinned sheepishly. "Maybe, "she admitted.

Deciding that she didn't have anything to lose, Luciee went through the survey, putting in her height and estimated weight, her eye colour, her personality traits (though Toni was adamant she should have put permanent alcoholic in that answer, she decided that level-headed made her sound better), and her one future desire. The final section of the survey made her frown and Toni let out a laugh.

"Go on, Luc, what kind of guy do you prefer!" she exclaimed, nudging her.

Luciee pushed her off the sofa in retaliation. "Look at these choices, though. 'Reluctant romantic', 'overzealous lover' and 'more than just a friend'. Who on earth wants any of them?" she said.

"I'd go for reluctant romantic."

She chose that option then scrolled to the bottom, ticking the 'I have read the T and Cs' checkbox before pressing submit, a box thanking her for her participation popping up onto the screen. "And that's done. What a waste of five minutes. Wanna order a kebab?"

--

Her mobile vibrating on her bedside drawers woke Luciee from her sleep. With a quick glance at the clock she realised it was almost midday and it wasn't a necessarily unreasonable time to receive a phonecall. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes as she grabbed her phone and answered the call, bringing it to her ear. "Hello?"

"Am I speaking to a Miss Luciee Moor?" a male voice asked, making her frown.

"This is she. May I ask who is calling?"

"My name is Robert. I'm calling in regards to a competition you entered on the first of June."

Luciee frowned and rubbed her forehead with her free hand. A competition? Since when she did enter one of those? "Okay," she said.

"Well congratulations, you were one of our three lucky winners!"

"What?!" she exclaimed.

"You have won an all expenses paid trip to an island resort, to leave on the twenty first of this month."

She sat up in bed and ran a hand through her hair. "Hold on a minute. I won? And you're not going to ask me for my details or anything?"

"Nope. This is not a scam, Luciee," the man said, amusement clouding his voice. "We can send you all the confirmation details in an email if you'd like, and then you phone us back to give us your home address so that we can send the car to pick you up on the day."

"This is crazy," she muttered. Had she actually won a holiday?

"I know," he said. "If you would like, I can also send you through an information pack about the resort itself. And when it's closer to the time, you will receive the details of the two other lucky winners as you will be meeting at the resort and participating in the activities together."

She couldn't believe it. That email that she thought was spam had turned out to be true and she had actually won a holiday. This was just beyond crazy. "I'd really appreciate that," she told him. They spoke a little while longer, and she asked him three more times when this was actually real, before they hung up and she was left just staring at her phone.

The laugh she had been keeping in escape at that moment before she flung back her covers and rushed into Toni's room, eager to tell her friend about the holiday she had just won.

Now she had a plan for summer.
