Mack Pov

I was faintly aware of something coming into my room but I was too tired to check it out. I felt weight being added on my bed and mumbled "get out mom, I don't want to go to basketball." It sounded disoriented and thick through my retainer. I heard laughter but it was several people and they all sounded like boys, I jerked awake immediately and looked around. Harry was sitting on my bed and Niall, Liam, Zayn, and Louis were behind him.
"I love your hair, it's a nice new look." Niall said and the boys started to laugh. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes
"Shut up, why am I up?" I asked, they laughed again and Liam asked
"Is that a retainer?" while trying not to laugh too hard. I felt my face burn and just glared at them.
"It's ok it's cute." Harry smirked at me, I hit him but couldn't help smiling.
"Well we have to leave in five minutes for the interview and we thought you would want to have breakfast before we leave." Zayn said, I just looked at all of them as I felt a cold sinking feeling in my stomach.
"WHAT!" I scream at them. "WE ARE LEAVING IN FIVE MINUTES AND YOU JUST NOW WOKE ME UP!" I glared at all of them waiting for an answer. They just all looked stunned for a second and kind of scared, it would have been funny if I wasn't freaking out. Liam finally stuttered out
"Umm... yea yeah, I guess we forgot that girls take longer to get ready." I glared at them all for a few more seconds before heaving a sigh.
"Well I guess I'm not going to be in the interview anyway so it won't matter." I notice the boys give each other guilty looks, "What? What is it?"
"Well you see the station got word that you were with us and they texted us asking if you would like to be in the interview with us and we said yes." Harry said with a sheepish look, I felt the blood drain out of my face.
"You mean that I have to go on air with no make-up, bed head, and having to impress all of your fans" I said breathlessly.
"Wait a second. We could just call ahead and tell the stylist that they could get Mack ready to." Louis said, we all look at him for a second "what?"
"That's actually a good idea" said Liam "well I will call them you guys get her ready." He went into the other room to call the station, I pushed back the covers and jumped to my closet. I had put all of my clothes in it the day before,
"Wow" said Niall. The other boys had followed me in since it was a walk in closet.
"What?" I asked as I started to go through the shirts I had while trying to be fast.
"It's just well, this is a lot of clothes." He said while taking it all in.
"Well back home I didn't really dress that fancy just jeans and a tee-shirt so before I came my mom, Callie, and I went shopping for some cute stuff. I guess I did good." I reply taking in their faces and smirked. "Now what do I wear?" I couldn't decide what to wear to an interview I had never been to anything like it.
"What do you mean?" Harry asked, "you have all of these options and you don't know what to wear?" I rolled my eyes at him.
"I'm not that girly, I mean I don't know what kind of clothes to wear, I have never been to an interview. I don't want to be too fancy but I also want to look nice." by the end you could start to hear the stress coming into my voice. It was way too early for me to deal with this, right now I just wanted to be back in my comfortable, warm bed. I shook my head and started to sort through the shirts. I picked out three and took them over to my bed and laid them out. One was a deep blue that had different layers, it hung to my body but the layers made it look flowy, it was like a tank on top so I would have to wear something over it. The other two didn't look nice enough now that I had taken them off the hook. I went and put them back in the closet and took out a black leather jacket that stopped half way down and some dark jeans. I went out into my room and was about to take my shirt off before I realized that the boys were still in the room.
"Um guys some privacy please," I looked at them expectantly, they just started laughing
"Oh that's cute she is modest" Louis said, I glared at them all before Liam finally came in and said
\"Leave the poor girl alone we have already done enough today." I looked gratefully at him, "I called the studio they said it was fine, the hair stylist are looking forward to playing with your hair." I just sighed
"Ok thanks Liam, now can you guys leave now please" they nodded and walked out. I took a deep breath and got dressed. I went into the bathroom to do what little I could, the clothes did look nice but my hair was a mess. Tangled, half curly and the rest just frizz. I sighed and just put it up in a messy but, the hair stylist could fix it hopefully. I brushed my teeth and put perfume on, it was the only thing I could do with this much time. I walked out into the main room where the boys were all standing by the door. I quickly put on my blue converse that I wear with everything and looked up. They were smirking at my shoe choice,
"Oh shut up," I said while walking out the door. They laughed and all followed me out, luckily the fans thought the boys were still at the airport so we could sneak out into the car without anyone screaming at us. I still wasn't sure how I was going to handle that, I got in first so I could have a window seat. Niall was sitting beside me but I didn't really acknowledge that he was there, I was just starting to realize what I was about to do. This morning I didn't have a chance to dwell on it but now in a mostly quiet car I could think about it. I must have been to quite because the boys were all staring at me,
"Are you ok?" Zayn asked.
"You are looking a little pale" Liam added, he looked a little worried, "we are really sorry about not waking you up on time." I sighed they all did look a little ashamed, my first thought was good! But then I realized that they didn't mean to, they were just trying to be sweet.
"It's fine really it's not that, it's just well I have always been shy around groups of people. Like if I don't know them or I'm talking in front of a large crowd. I can't even get in front of my class without feeling nervous. How am I suppose to get in front of a bunch of screaming girls and not faint much less talk." I could feel my breath starting to speed up just by talking about it.
"Don't worry we all felt like that in the beginning," Harry said," It's not as bad as you would think and we will all help you through it" I winced "what?" he asked
"Nothing it's just that sounded like it came out of a cheesy movie." I said while smiling a little. The other boys started to laugh while Harry grimaced. I started to feel a little better and started to join in the boys conversation. We finally got to the studio and went around to the back. We got out and were led into a large building, the security guards i'm guessing led us through a door and started to walk us down a long hallway. That reminded me
"Hey wheres Paul? I'm looking forward to meeting him." The boys laughed
"We thought that these guys could handle us for today so we gave him the week off since we don't have anything other than this." Liam said I smiled and we finally got to a door that said makeup room. They opened the door and let us in. Several people were walking around setting stuff up, getting stuff and bottles and hair supplies ready. There were several chairs but before we could sit in them the team stopped and all came forward to great us. They smile and what I assume is the head makeup artist, is there even such a thing I wonder, steps forward and starts talking.
"Hello, thank you for arriving on time. Most celebrates get here an hour late." Something didn't click then.
"I'm sorry" I say, "but if they arrive late how do they get the show on air on time?" I ask. The crew starts laughing a little, the leader, I decided that's what I would call him for the moment, just smiles a little.
"Well we do ask that every guest arrives at least two hours early so we can fix them up, and the sound crew can walk them through what is going to happen in the interview and test everything to make sure it works properly." I just stared at him, of course, I started to feel stupid. I was thinking we had about thirty minutes and I would have to go on stage with my hair not done but we had plenty of time even for my hair.
"Oh well thank you for agreeing to fix my hair even though you weren't suppose to. It's really these guys fault" I point behind me, the boys just look surprised that I threw them under the bus like that. "Oh don't look at me like that you know it's true." They just start to slowly nod and smile a little. Boys, I think to myself, the leader starts to talk again.
"My name is Antoine" he was tall and slim with nice brown hair that stood in about every direction. "this is my team" he named everyone off and then assigned everyone to one of the boys. I could tell he was a very organized person and liked to be in charge, "I will do Mackenzie and Christen can help me." He pointed to a woman about twenty-five with short spiky brown hair. She smiled and looked nice enough so I followed her to a chair that had the most products on the counter. I blushed a little,
"Sorry about my hair it's going to be a mess." she smiled back at me
"It's fine, plus I like a challenge" she winked at me and pulled my hair out of the bun. Like I guessed it was all over the place, just then Antoine walked over. He examined my hair,
"Well it is a pretty color and nice and long. I like it but we might have to start from the beginning and just start by washing it and then decide what we are going to do" Christen nodded and Antoine walked off to check the other boys.
"You might want to take your jacket off and I can grab a towel so your shirt doesn't get wet." she walked over to a cabinet and I took my jacket off, she leaned back my chair and put my hair in a sink. After she got the towel around my shoulders and made sure my shirt was covered, I felt warm water on my felt so good to have someone wash my hair I started to doze off. I heard laughing and looked up, Christen was laughing and shutting the water off. "Sorry did I wake you from your nap?" I rolled my eyes and let her ring my hair out and sit my chair up. Antoine came over again and started to look at my hair again.
"Is your hair curly?" he asked
"Yeah" it came out curious and he chuckled
"It's just that it is already started to form curls, well what I think we should do is dry it, straighten it some so it's not frizzy and then curl it." Christen just nodded and started to brush out my hair. Harry was already done since the stylist didn't have much to do besides make it a little more curly, Damn him and his gorgeous hair. It's not fair that it is that easy for him. I must have frowned slightly because he came over and said
"don't hate me for my beautiful hair." I just rolled my eyes and laughed, he pulled up a chair and started to talk to me while Christen brushed through my hair. She then got out a hair dryer and started to blow dry my hair so we couldn't talk anymore unless we wanted to shout. After about three minutes Harry started to complain
"Good lord how long does it take to dry hair?"
"Hey it's not my fault I have a lot of hair." After a few more minutes Christen is finally done and turns off the hair dryer. Harry started laughing his head off, the rest of the boys came over then with their hair done and started to laugh.
"Oh shut up" I say they are all trying to breathe
"You... you look like a lion" Niall finally managed to say through laughter.
"Oh ha ha you guys are so funny. Can you please fix my hair Christen?" I asked she just laughed a little and took a brush to my mane of hair. I winced every now and then when she came across a tangle but mostly just talked to the boys. Christen put half of my hair up and started to straighten the underneath part. Harry pulled out his phone
"No!" I shouted at him, he just stuck his lip out and gave me puppy dog eyes
"Pleaaase?" he asked, the others just looked confused. I just sighed and said fine. He smiled and pointed his camera at me, I put my thumbs up and smiled really big. He laughed a little and sat back down, "yep that's going on Twitter" I groaned but let it go. Christen let down the top part of my hair and started to work on that. Harry was checking his phone "well we got a lot of comments on Twitter about you." he said
"Are they good?" I asked
"Most of them yeah, a lot are saying that you're pretty or funny. Some aren't very nice but those just say we should have picked them instead of you so they are just jealous." I sighed
"Ok good I can except that." they all smiled as Christen started to warm up the curling iron. Antoine came over then and started nodding
"Good much better" which I wish he didn't say because the boys were now trying not to laugh. He then parted my hair to the side and started to curl it. The boys started to talk again
"So I really think most of the fans are going to like you." Liam said while the rest nodded, I just nodded to while hoping he was right. Talking about Twitter and everything made me realize I forgot my phone at the hotel.
"Crap" I said, "I left my phone, my mom is going to kill me for not answering her." The boys just looked at me funny.
"You do realize that it's about three in the morning over there right?" Louis asked, I just started to blush
"Oh yeah forgot, that's probably why i'm so sleepy to" the boys just laughed and rolled their eyes. "Hey Harry can I use your phone to check Twitter?" I asked, he handed over his phone and I logged into my account and just started at the screen. My notifications were over the top, five thousand new people were following me and I had about a thousand that posted something on my wall. There were a lot more nice things than I expected. A lot of people saying congratulations, or that I was so lucky, there were even several saying that I was really pretty. Those shocked me the most but I liked them. There were also a lot of comments on the picture of the prank, most said it was awesome or laughed but some asked why I would dare to mess up the boy's hair. Those were kind of funny to read because they all sounded so ridiculous. I tweeted 'thank you for all the nice comments, later I will post some pictures of the boys and me from the show today!' I logged off and handed Harry back his phone. Thankfully Antoine was done curling my hair, even though I do like people playing with my hair I was getting tired of sitting in the chair. I tried to turn around and look but Antoine wouldn't let me.
"Hold on let me finish your makeup and then you can see"
"Ok but not too much please I normally only wear mascara and eyeliner anyway." he nodded and said
"I might do a little more to make your eyes pop but not too much, there isn't that much to do anyway you have a natural beauty." I kind of snorted and he looked at me funny.
"Oh I mean thank you" and look down, he puts some final hairspray in my hair and starts on my makeup. He doesn't take long finally I get to see my reflection and I gasp a little. They managed to make me look really good. My hair looks long and pretty in soft curls falling over my shoulder and my makeup is perfect to where it's not too much by the eye shadow does make my eyes pop. Today they are more of a green color so they go well with the dark blue/black eyeshadow and eyeliner. I smile at him and say thank you. I finally get to get up and it's hard at first, I had been sitting in that chair for a little over an hour. The boys ask Antoine to take a picture.
"Can't let her look this good without a picture" Louis winks at me while I roll my eyes and put my jacket back on. The boys put me in the middle and we take a picture, it does look pretty good so I tell Harry to send it to me. The producer finally comes in and tell us to follow him so he can tell us what is all going to happen. By the time he goes through it all and we check everything it is only thirty minutes until the show starts. We have to go back to the changing rooms so they can start letting people in, it a big room where they can fit lots of audience. I start to feel nervous again and can feel my hands start to shake, the boys notice and just start goofing off to make me feel better, they start to tickle me and throw things at each other. It's really funny but I have to rein them in sometimes. It does work until a guy tells us we have to go backstage, five minutes left, I start to feel a little sick.
"Am I suppose to feel this way?" I ask faintly, Harry just smiles and takes my hand as we walk to the entrance. I can hear the audience and it sounds huge, the hostess starts the show and is introducing us. I take one final breath as Harry starts pulling me into bright lights and a lot of screaming. I just look at the ground as we walk out on stage, my legs start to feel like jelly and my heart is beating so hard I feel like it is going to come out of my chest. I look up and we are almost to the chairs they have set up for us. I look out into the crowd which is a mistake, I start to feel sick with all these people looking at me. I can feel myself blushing and the boys start to laugh at my response, I send them a dark look and half heartedly wave at the crowd before sitting down in the chair closest to the hostess like I was told to. Harry sits next to me and I just look down at my shoes waiting for the audience to calm down. I knew they would be loud but I feel like my eardrums are about to start bleeding. Finally they calm down and the hostess starts speaking, I realize a little too late I might be in shock cause I only hear muffled words, I shake my head and listen to her properly
"...zayn and Liam are joining us today with someone special, Mackenzie Evans" more cheers and I feel myself go red again. Jane, the hostess, talks to me then
" So Mackenzie tell us how you got so lucky as to get to meet One Direction?" there were more cheers, I figure I might as well get it over with so I start talking but only look at Jane and not out into the crowd.
"Well the boys were holding a contest you had to make a video so I just made one as real as I could and they picked me."
"Really, that's great. Do I hear an American accent?" I laugh a little
"Yeah I come from Oklahoma its like in the very middle of America"
"So how long are you staying with the boys?" Harry jumps in then
"Well she was mainly a one night stand but we didn't have time to drop her off before we came" he smirked at me and the rest of the boys started laughing, I hit his arm and gave him a dirty look
"He thinks he is so funny," I comment and his face fell while the others just start to laugh harder, it's my turn to smirk as I answer" I'm staying the summer with them I get to go on their tour and everything." Jane is smiling
"So as everyone can see you guys get along great." Niall answered
"Oh yeah, it's great to have her around. We get along great and she is already like one of us. Plus she has already started to help keep us under control." I can hear some mummers in the crowd and I realize that these girls are analyzing everything I do and say. It's extremely nerve racking and I can feel my hands get sweaty, I wipe them on my jeans and pay attention to Jane again
"So Mackenzie I think everyone wants to know what it's like living with One Direction. Are they just like they seem, how is this experience for you." I just smile a little
"It's awesome! Really it's just like living with five very hyper very loud teenage guys. It's fun though, I am constantly laughing. I can happily tell their fans they are just as funny and sweet in real life as they are in their videos. As for how I'm taking it well, this is my first real experience with the fans and interviews and everything. Since I haven't puked yet I think that's an accomplishment." I say and smile a little the boys laugh Zayn says
"Really you should have seen her before, it was kind of funny but you couldn't help but feel bad for her. She looked sick for a while and was just shaking until we came on." Jane patted my knee and said
"You'll get used to it, don't worry" after that she asked the boys some more questions, some about me but mostly about their tour that was coming up and some about them. Finally Jane said
"Well we have to take a break and when we come back the boys are going to perform What Makes You Beautiful." we smile and wave at the camera until the camera man says we're off, I sigh and look around, the fans start to yell at the boys and I just smile I got through it!
I didn't have to be on the last part I look over at the boys and they are smiling at me.
"So what did you think?" Louis asked
"Terrifying" was all I say the boys smile as the stage crew come up to us and start to tell the boys what is going to happen after the break. They tell me I can stay backstage and watch the boys perform or go back to the dressing rooms. Well it is my first time to get to watch them so I say I will stay backstage. When they go back on air I finally get to see the boys perform live, it's better than I thought. I can't help but be a little relieved when the show is over though, as we are making our way out there is a crowd that had formed. They were not what I was expecting though they were not screaming their heads off or pushing and shoving they were just waiting. They all smiled as the boys walked out and the boys just started to talk to them and sign stuff. I just stood off to the side awkwardly until a group of girls called me over, I was surprised at first but when I walked over they just talked to me. They had already spoken to the boys so they asked me question about the boys or how England was different from America. I was actually enjoying myself until the security said we had to go the girls asked for a picture first, it was my first picture so it was kinda awkward but I was happy the girls even asked. After I was about to walk away one of the girls stops and says
"Oh and Mackenzie" I turn around "you're really pretty" I smile and wave then get in the car. It has been a great day but it also has been extremely stressful, as soon as I get in the car and the driver takes off I fall asleep.
