I wake up one morning, ready for the day. My name's Aria Bell. I'm 20 years old with brown hair. I'm out of school. I have bluish colored eyes. I'm an only child. I don't live with my parents anymore. I have 2 best friends. Laura Bell, my dad's brother's daughter- so, she's my cousin. My other best friend is Mya Carson. Today Mya's turning 20 years old. She's having a birthday party and her parents are getting her favorite band to play. The band is mine and Laura's favorite band too. We're all best friends. Our favorite band is One Direction. I get up and get dressed and ready to go. I go into my kitchen and eat breakfast. Then I walk outside, with my cellphone in my hand. I have a T-shirt and some jeans on. I have red sneakers on. I walk across the street- where Laura lives. Mya's working on getting a house next to me or Laura but she hasn't got one yet. I knock on Laura's door. "Laura. It's Aria." I say. She opens the door. Her blond hair, a mess. She's in a blue robe with a white T-shirt and blue pajama pants on. She has pink bunny slippers on. "What's wrong?" I ask. "I'm sick." She says. I stay silent as I walk in. "I'm also upset." She says. "Oh, Laura. Why?" I ask. "I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it to Mya's party." She says.
"Laura, you're sick. You probably have the flu or something. You look... horrible. It's gonna be okay. Mya will understand. Remember when she broke her arm and also had the flu? She couldn't go to your 17th birthday party." I say. She sneezes. "But.. it's her 20th birthday. And One Direction..." She trails off. "I'll get you an autograph, from all 5 boys. But you need to stay home." I say. "But-" She starts to speak. "Laura, you either go to the party, feeling horrible and get everyone sick, or stay home and get better. Choose." I say. "Fine." She sniffles. "You should leave. I'll get you sick. Tell her I'm sorry, and happy birthday." She coughs. "I will. I hope you get better soon." I say. "Thank-you." She says and closes her eyes. I walk out and then down the road. I have a car, but cars pollute the environment, and today's a beautiful day- why ruin it with pollution? I walk into town and go to this big building where Mya's party has been reserved. The party starts at 5:00PM, It's about 10:00AM now. It takes along time to get to the building when you're walking from where I live. I walk in and a couple strangers are setting up tables and chairs. A big banner is hung above the stage. It says: Happy Birthday, Mya! There's some microphones on the stage. I hear the people talking about One Direction.
"Can I help?" I ask. They look up from what they're doing. "I'm sorry it's reserved for today." One woman says. "Oh no, Erma. This is the Mya girl's friend." Another woman says. "Lucille, are you sure?" Erma asks. "Yes." Lucille says. "Yes, I'm Aria. Nice to meet you.. er, again. I wanted to help." I say. "Okay, you can help Lucille with the posters." Erma says. I help the Lucille woman with the posters. About 30 posters of One Direction on the wall. "She requested One Direction posters all over." Lucille says. "We love One Direction." I laugh. The posters took about an hour. Then Lucille and I started helping Erma put up more chairs and tables. We put plates on the tables. We put flowers in flowers vases and on the tables. We put utensils on the tables. We put baskets of napkins on the tables. We decorate the rest of the building. While we worked people brought food and drink for the party. It was 3:30PM when we finished. "You should go get ready." Erma says. "Oh, yeah I should." I say. "Thank-you for the help." Lucille says. I smile and then I walk out. I run to my house. I put my hair in a braid, and brush my teeth again. I'm staying the way I'm dressed. I get Mya's present- some pink heels. I put a gray beanie on and walk out the door. I run to the building. It's about 4:30PM when I get there. Erma and Lucille are messing with some flowers.
I walk over to see what they're doing. "Need any help?" I ask. "Oh, no." Erma says. "Well, is it okay, if I just stay here until the party?" I ask. "Yes, oh, you didn't change?" Lucille asks. "No, I like to keep it casual." I say. "Lucille and I like fancy." Erma says. "I just think casual and natural are the best way to go..." I say. Just then we hear voices, and five boys walk on stage. "They're here." Lucille says. I stare at the boys on stage. I can't believe what I'm seeing. I'm actually seeing Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson- the boys of One Direction. I just stare at them. "We are in the right place, right?" Harry says. The boys all have British accents, except Niall has an Irish accent. Erma and Lucille are gone and I realize I'm alone with my favorite band. "Uh- yeah. Welcome.. I'll be right back." I say. I walk quickly to the kitchen, where Erma and Lucille are sitting. Erma and Lucille are older women, but they could've stayed with me in the room. "Why'd you leave?" I ask. "Sorry, Aria. But I think one of them was smiling at you. We didn't want to get in the way." Erma says. "But it's just a smile." I say. "That kind of smile means they like you." Lucille says. "No, it doesn't." I say, and I walk back out. The boys are off stage and I wonder if I had just imagined them. I couldn't have, though. Lucille and Erma saw them too. There's some knocks on the door, and I open it. A pile of people rush in for the party that would start in 10 minutes.
