I Wish

Full Summary: Tessa Green always knew she wanted to be a singer, and when a talent scout comes to her school concert and sees her, he reports back to a certain Mr. Cowell. Mr. Cowell sends 5 well known boys over to Tessa's home in the UAE. One problem – Tessa's 11, the boys are 18 and above. Tessa and her friends Ariana and Kate both wish they were old enough to have more than a brother/sister relationship with the boys. But you know what they say: Be careful for what you wish for!

Hi Guys! There will be two chapters of prologue's or something, and then things should kick off! I hope you like this!

'Tessa… Tessa… Tessa, darling, it's time to wake up… Tessa… Tessa it's time for school… Wake up Tessa…' My mum urged gently, shaking me. Every morning it was like this, not that I didn't mind. I just wished I had a lie in for a bit. Mum was a teacher at my school and we had to be there for seven. I rolled over, half asleep still. I'd been up late stalking One Direction and messing around on twitter and singing a bit.

'Skirt or trousers?' My mum said from my wardrobe. I don't know why she bothered asking: I nearly always said trousers.

'Trjgusefrs.' I muttered, stretching out and slipping on my dressing gown and slippers. Once my mum saw I was awake, she smiled.

'Big day, today, Tessi! Aw, you'll be great!' My mum said. I smiled weakly, but I wasn't so sure for many reasons. Firstly, although I liked singing, I was terrible and so out of note. Secondly, it was my Dad's birthday and my Nan was over so I wanted to make the proud. And my crush would be in the audience. Thirdly, I had had a nervous breakdown the night before when I went for my voice/piano lesson. I was singing Elton John's 'Your Song', which was big.

'I know your nervous, Tess, but think: Ariana and Kate will be in the crowd and so will all of your other friends! Avril, Julie, Niamh, Jenny, Gwen, the lot! And your school is such a supportive place!' My mum encouraged. She had a point. It was like a 600 person family and we all got on so well.

I got out of bed and did my usual routine. Ate breakfast, brushed teeth, washed face, got changed and did hair. Dad came down about halfway through in a 'hyper' mood. This involves singing nursery rhymes loudly but adding the words 'Ignatius' (Our Cat) 'Fluffy' (Our Other Cat) and 'Frances' (My Mum's name) at random intervals.

'IG-NAAAAATIUS GREEN HAS GOT A FLY UPON HIS NOSE, IG-NAAAAAAAAATIUS GREEN HAS GOT A FLY UPON HIS NOSE, IGNAAAAATIUS GREEN HAS GOT A FLY UPON HIS NOSE AND FLUFFY SAID GO AWAY!' He sang, pouring some porridge. I laughed.

'Aw, Dad's hyper Mum! Happy birthday!' He laughed and hugged me too.

'And my big girl is in concert today! You're better than Cher bloody Lloyd any day!' My Dad likes to think he's very cool knowing Cher Lloyd.

'Who's Cher Lloyd?' My mum said innocently, sipping her cup of tea. Me and my Dad glanced at each other and rolled our eyes. Mum knew no modern singers.

'NO ONE!' We said in unison, high-fiving and then carrying on our separate ways.

After a few minutes me and Mum were setting off to school, where Mum taught Year 2 and I was in Year 7.

'You've got that Science test on Solutions today, don't you?' Mum said, eyes on the road. I sighed.

'Yeah. Mr. Johnson's really nice but not so good at teaching…' I trailed off. Mum smiled and we finished the journey in silence. We had some where we'd talk and others where we'd remain silent. This was one of them.

We got to the school gates in record time, me seeing the always early Niamh and sitting next to her. Niamh was also doing something in the concert and was very shy (I'm actually quite confident) so even more nervous than me.

'Hello, Tessa. Gosh, I'm nervous!' Niamh said awkwardly. I couldn't help but smile. Niamh is just like Niall Horan – Irish and Lovable. We used to joke she'd be perfect for him, but she claims One Direction are 'gay'.

xXxXxXx

Science is officially the most boring and unexplainable lesson ever. And I know lots of people will back me up on this one.

Strangely, I was looking forward to the concert. Thursday – In the UAE the weekend are Friday and Saturday – morning was suck ass. English, Science and ICT. I always got hungry in ICT, too.

Frankly, first break couldn't come sooner.

xXxXxXx

'OH MY GOD TESSA I'M SO NERVOUS!' Gwen squealed at me. In the concert was Me, Gwen, Niamh and Ariana. Ariana was in the corner, practicing her flute again and again. Niamh was humming the lyrics to 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight' and I was trying to be Captain Sensible.

It wasn't working.

'Ari… Ari… Ari, I can't do this. Can you tell Miss-' I began.

'Look, bitch, this is your chance to impress Jason. Do it, or I'll murder you.' She threatened. I gulped and nodded. She smiled.

'Good. Know help me by turning the papers then we can get a move on!' Ariana commanded jokingly.

After ten minutes of nerves, practicing and regret, we finally made our way to the hall. On the way there I bumped into none other than my crush, Jason Thompson. He smiled, hobbling over on his crutches. He'd recently broken his leg.

'Hey, Tessa. Where you going?' He asked.

'Oh, um, the concert. You?' I said awkwardly. He grinned.

'The concert! I'm watching! See ya!' He winked, leaving me and Ari confused but excited. She looked at me.

'There's your Mum, Dad, Nan and a creepy dude in a suit…'

'Suspicious!' I laughed.

xXxXxXx

'Tessa!' Ms. Maria hissed. 'You're next!'

My throat went dry, but I nodded. I got up and walked to the microphone. I could see loads of people I knew, it was unreal.

'Um, I'm Tessa Green. And I'm going to be singing and playing 'Your Song' by Elton John. Hope you like it!' I said, my legs knocking and my hands shaking. I sat down at the piano, took a breath in and began to play and sing.

'It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside,

I'm not one of those who can easily hide

I don't have much money

But boy, if I did

I'd buy a big house where

We both could live'

I carried on the song, ignoring the audience. I hit the high notes at my highest ability. Finally, I finished the song.

The reaction was surreal.

Clapping and whooping really loudly. I just kind of stood there with my mouth slightly open. I moved on to my next song, which wasn't as good.

What I didn't understand was why the creepy man that Ariana had pointed out never got off his phone.
