Me and Roxie were in our hotel room,packing to go to London for the second round. We were really happy I made it through the first round! But we weren't sure what was going to happen in London,because all the contestants had to sing two or three songs with One Direction. I didn't know how well my voice would mesh with theirs.

"Alright,Jen,you gotta practice." said Roxanne."You never know what song they might ask you to sing with the boys,so you've got to play some of their songs and sing along with them!"

I didn't have enough energy to practice every single song! I was still really tired from the first round! But I figured I could use the practice. "Fine. Play One Thing on my laptop,will ya?"

I sang along to the chorus.

"'Cause you've got that one thing.

So,get out,get outta my head!

And fall into my arms instead!

I don't,I don't,don't know what it is,

But I need that one thing.

And you've got that one thing!"

I asked Roxanne what she thought of my voice next to theirs.

"Are you kidding? I'm speechless! That was GREAT! Your voice fits perfectly with theirs! Now I'm SURE you'll be the winner. Now we should practice 'What Makes You Beautiful'. I have a feeling you'll be good with that."

After I practiced a couple more songs,we both went to bed. But I couldn't fall asleep. I was too worried about the second round.

Ever since I had finished singing in the first round,all the boys of One Direction had been inviting me to things. It was kind of weird,but I figured they'd been inviting the other contestants to stuff too,just to get to know them better. The day after round one,Liam invited me to come with him and the boys to Six Flags. Then the next day,I got to go to a party with the boys and the other contestants. It was pretty awkward,since me and Roxie didn't really know them very well,so we didn't have much to talk about except the competition.

"So...how are you guys doing with the judging and stuff?" I asked all the boys awkwardly. We were at a coffee shop in London. Just me,Harry,Liam,Niall,Zayn,and Louis. Weird.

"We're doing pretty good." ' Liam smiled. "But it's kinda hard to judge in this competition,because these are some of the nicest people I've ever seen,and we have to pick one. All the contestants are really nice and talented. Some more than others."

Some more than others? That was a little weird of him to say. 'Oh well,' I thought. 'Just ignore it.'

"So," said Niall,"You're a really great singer. I really liked that song in your audition. What was it called again?"

"Oh,it's called 'Something Beautiful' by Bridgit Mendler. When I first heard it on Good Luck Charlie,I immediately loved it!" I answered.

Liam's eyes went wide at the mention of Good Luck Charlie. "You watch Good Luck Charlie? That's on the Disney Channel! I thought I was the only person here who appreciated its genius!"

I couldn't help but laugh."Nope,not the only one. I usually watch Nickelodeon and Disney on a daily basis."

By that point,Liam was basically fangirling. Er..fanboying? Whatever,he was acting like an adorable little 7-year-old!

"Um,so do you play any instruments besides guitar?" asked Louis.

"Yeah,I play guitar. Acoustic and electric." I said. "I also learned to play the recorder in 2nd grade,but that's only because everyone in my choir/band class was required to learn to play an instrument."

"Wow. So you were in choir? Your school was smart to pick you!" Zayn complimented me.

I was getting to know them better,and that could DEFINITELY give me an advantage in the competition.

It was the day for me to record with the boys. Most of the other contestants already had,but I was the fourth. I walked into the recording studio.

"Hello Jen!" Zayn greeted me,"Welcome to the studio. I think Simon wants us to record two songs this time,so let's get started!"

We sang 'Wonderwall' by Oasis for the first song. Since we weren't actually going to put this on an album,we only spent one day recording it. I didn't think recording it would be so easy! I thought I'd have to sing the same line over and over for hours,but the very most we spent on one line was a half hour. I guess that made sense,since the song didn't have to be perfect.

The entire time we were recording,the boys were being really silly. They were hilarious! Niall kept taking off his shirt. Harry was running around screaming like a maniac. Zayn would do weird dances whenever someone else was recording. Louis was being his strange self. And Liam was poking my face a lot.

"Uh,Liam," said Zayn,"May I ask why you feel the need to poke her face?"

Liam smiled and started singing,"P-p-p-pokerface p-p-p-pokerface!"

Zayn was annoyed. "I said 'poke her face' not 'pokerface'!"

"I knew that!" said Liam.

This continued for a while,until we were finally done with the song at the end of the day. We would've gotten done much sooner if we hadn't been joking around! But it was worth it.

The next day,we recorded 'What Makes You Beautiful'. I think we did a pretty good job,but we didn't get to hear it right away,because the song needed to be edited a bit to sound better. But when we did get to hear it,it sounded AMAZING! I had a good feeling about this. But I was still doubted I would win. What chance did I have against other amazing singers? Well,technically,I had a 1/5 chance,but lets not go into technical terms.

Now that I was done with the second and final round,I couldn't do anything but wait.
