~You've Got That One Thing~

I was just a typical girl in a small town. I have two of the best friends with me, Pixie and Zayn. We've been friends since primary school and were in our last year in high school. We were the group no one really cares about, and that didn't bother us at all. We have a blast whenever it was only us three.
I was definitely the socially-awkward one among the group because Pixie and Zayn were both gorgeous-looking people. Pixie is a sweet girl with blonde hair. She has the sweetest smile and the sexiest body a girl could have. She loves to dance, so that was where she got her toned legs from. I could see why she always have boys hanging around her. But her heart only belongs to one, Joe. Joe was in a band, and they met in a talent competition in school. He was popular among the girls too, but somehow they both always come back to each other. Zayn was good-looking. You can literally see girls turning their heads to get another look of him. His brown eyes could melt your heart, and he has long and thick eyelashes that just brings out his gorgeous eyes. He has an innocent face, kind of like a little boy, but he's all masculine inside. Pixie and I became friends after we were assigned to each other for a project. Zayn introduced himself to me one day while we were in detention together.
But our lives changed when Zayn decided to audition for a nation-wide singing competition. He's always have people bringing him down and he thought this could be the chance to show people what he's got. I've always told him he has a sexy voice, but he never really believed me. But it's true.
The first time I heard him sing, was when he wrote me a song for my 16th birthday. I've known him for 3 years then, and I've never once heard him sing. It was so beautiful that I cried.

Zayn went on to become one-fifth of a boyband called One Direction and they were making a name for themselves. I've never met the boys before but I could imagine they were a bunch of nice people. Even though Zayn's my best friend, I didn't really care much about his bandmates thus I've never really learnt all their names before.
This I regretted when Zayn invited me to join him on their tour to promote their newly released album. I'm not one to do research on celebrities, so I gave up trying to know more about each and every one of the boys. I'll just get to know more about them on tour.

"Hey Zayn, what if I screw up? What if they hate my guts?"

"Hey look at me," He placed his hand gently on my chin to tilt it when I refused to look at him straight in the eye. "Look at me. Delilah Simmons, there's a reason why you're standing here in front of me, calling yourself my best friend. You've got that one thing that no else has. You've got my heart. So like it or not, the guys are gonna meet you, and if I know them at all, they'll like the girl that has captured my heart."

He smiled reassuringly. How could I ever resist that smile of his?


I went in the studio with Zayn, arms linked together. They were having their first tour rehearsal so everyone was feeling pumped.

Zayn brought me to the resting area where the boys were at. The first person that caught my eye immediately was the light brown hair guy, who was singing some tunes out loud. There was a blonde guy who was strumming the guitar really well, a curly-haired dude and the last one was on the phone. The guy singing immediately stopped when he saw us coming.

"About time you reached Zayn!" he exclaimed as he did a handshake with Zayn. "And you brought a girl with you?" His gaze turned to me.

Zayn turned, wanting me to introduce myself but he knows me too well to know that I don't like meeting new people. "Hey guys, this is Lila. She's my best mate, she's joining us on the tour so I figured you guys should meet her. She's a bit shy, so you guys be nice to her."

He gave me a little nudge to make me move but I was already feeling so awkward with 4 boys staring at me. But then the blonde guy stood up and shook my hand excitedly. "Hi, I'm Niall!" Oohh..Irish accent, nice.
Then one by one, everyone came forward to introduce themselves to me. Liam, the singing guy, seems polite. The curly-hair dude, Harry, tried to flirt with me while Louis shook my hand and continued on with his phone conversation. By the way he was talking, it sounded like it was his girlfriend on the other end of the line.

"Hey, I'm gonna go say hi to the others. You stay here and mingle with them?" I gave him an unconvincing nod. "You'll be fine, they're friendly I swear"

I was left standing there as he left. Niall went up to me, and smiled so wide when he asked "You want any food?"

Liam interrupted before I could reply. "He's really into food. Come on, sit with us. Let us get to know you better," He signalled to the couch, where Harry was sitting.

I have no idea what I have gotten myself into.
