A One Direction Fan Romance

Chapter 1:

"Michelle!", Mum shouts from downstairs.

"Coming!", I shout back as she snaps me from my thoughts. My mind was occupied by this new contest coming up and it relates to One Direction, my most favourite band in the world. The winner gets to join them for a week which is why it's extremely important for me to win. The rules are simple, all I have to do is sign up and then make a video of only a minute in which I explain why I should be chosen. This is more important to me than anything in my life.

I rush downstairs to see what my mom needs.

"Honey, can you please check who's at the door", she innocently says.

I open the door to see my best friend,Abby standing there. Oh yeah I almost forgot I'm the one who called her here.

"You called and I'm here! Cause that's what best friends are made for! To support one another and-", she stops for a second "Do I smell cookies? Out of my way Sanders!". She rushes past me to hug my mom, grabs a cookie and heads upstairs.

Yeah that's my best friend for ya. I'm the anti social pessimistic need and she's the overly hyperactive maniac, that's why we're perfect for each other.

"So what's the big news! Oh lemme guess! You've finally got a boyfriend!", She excitedly shouts.

"What?! No! Abby would you just listen to me!", I say.

She just shrugs and nods as I continue.

"Okay so there's this One Direction contest coming up and I need your help with it, the winner gets to spend a week with them".

"I don't see why you need my help in this, I mean I don't even like them", she says.

Believe it or not, that was true. Which is also what confused everyone, considering our personalities you'd think she'd be a bigger fangirl than me... and well she kinda is, but for some reason she doesn't like One Direction. There's only one guy she fangirls over which is Dylan o'Brien though she refers to him as her "husband". Yeah it's as creepy as it sounds.

"Yeah, I know you don't like them but I could really use your help with making the video", I plead.

She stays silent. As if she's in deep though.

"Okay!", she shouts "I'll help you on one condition".

"Which is?"

"You stop calling my husband unattractive", she smirks as she simply says.

"Of course, I promise I'll stop.. now can you just help me?", I plead.

"Will do! Let's get on with it!", she says.

1 hour later

She finally finishes helping me set up the camera and background and revises a few of the rules with me again.

"Okay Michelle, that's all the help I can give you. Remember to look straight at the camera and do NOT exceed five minutes, got it?"

I nod as she yawns and stretches.

"I'm taking a nap now, wake me up when you're done", she tiredly says and drops herself on my bed.

I begin the video by introducing myself and then continuing on to explaining what a big I am and why I should be chosen. I go on to say how long I've been a fan of them and how much they've inspired me to be something. After a few more takes I finally think I've done good.

I head to my room to wake up Abby. She finally wakes up and I show her the video. She occasionally cringes and frowns through the video but I ignore it. I figured it's because she doesn't like them.

"So what do you think".

"Hmm... you know what? I actually like it".

"You do?"

She nods

"So should I send it in?"

"Yep, anyway I'm going back to sleep.", she tiredly says.

I'm glad she helped me, I don't know what I'd do without her.

I email it to them and sigh. It's done. I desperately hope they choose me. As I drift off to sleep.
