i looked at my reflection in the mirror and satisfied with my appearance i turned to my four best friends. this was it, now or never.

My name is Ava. singing is my passion and ive been doing it since i was 3 years old. My dad got this amazing opportunity for his job and we had to move to America, i guess singing was my way of dealing with it. My mum took to me a singing class on a Wednesday night when i was little and that was were i met the girls, Hallie, Cadey, Riley and Mckayla. We all clicked instantly and have been best friends ever since. We still go to our singing lessons of a Wednesday even though were 17 now, partly because of our teacher Lucy. i think its safe to say she loves us! we were her first pupils when the school opened and are her only original ones who still attend, weve been coming for 13 years. Lucy has sort have formed a band with us and has been getting us little concerts here and there for the past 3 years. About 8 weeks ago, we were at a lesson and she gave us some AMAZING news! there was this band called one direction and they were looking for people to audition to be supporting acts for them while they were in america. we had decided to split up and audition so if one group of us got through and the others never, then we would just add the others in to the band and we would all be going on tour! :D

me and Hallie were up first and we were singing one of our favorite songs by Taylor Swift. i began softly strumming the chords to the introduction on my guitar, took a deep breath and started to sing in harmony along with Hallie

There I was again tonight, forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old, tired place lonely place
Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face

All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?" across the room, your silhouette
Starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts, counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy

And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

The lingering question kept me up, 2 a.m., who do you love?
I wonder 'til I'm wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth, wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say

It was enchanting to meet you
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you

the man held his hand up in the air signaling us to stop.

'that was great girls, your exactly what were looking for, we'd like you to come back and audition one more time before we make our decision though'

i couldnt believe it! someone finally thought we were good enough! we stood with our ears pressed against the door listening to Riley, Cadey and Mckaylas performance and they got the same feedback. there were two other acts who got the same as us aswell and they were really good! we all performed again and waited for their decision, it was probably one of the most nerve wrecking things i have ever done in my life.

'well, first of all i want to say thankyou for auditioning, you are all extremely talented people, but as you know, we can only have two acts. we had to take every single factor into consideration as this NEEDS to be the best tour yet. nothing can jepordise that. so we have decided we would like 'black rose' and 'Long Glitter' to join the boys on their American tour.'

my heart sank. none of us had got the place. i turned to the girls and we all had a huge group hug, comforting eachother.

'However, the boys are starting a huge uk and ireland tour next month and one of their support acts has dropped out and can no longer perform. now we know that all 5 of you were originaly a band all together, so we were wandering if maybe you would like to join one direction on their uk and ireland tour as their support act 'EGO'?'

we all screamed and started jumping around. the agents laughed at us

'ill take that as a yes then.'

hey guys! so this is my new story 'one direction: living the high life' this is just the intro though, the boys will be featured in the next chapter! so please review and let me know what you guys think! hope you like it so far, even if it is only the first chapter :'D
