             I jumped out of my bed and ran to my bathroom. "What's going on?" Evanna asked walking into the bathroom. "I have to meet with their manager!" I exclaimed out of excitement and nervousness. "Who's manager?" She asked. I just looked at her as I put the toothpaste on my tooth brush.

                She finally got it when I began to brush my teeth. "No way!" She yelled. "W-was that Zayn who called?" She asked walking up to the sink. I just nodded as I continued to brush. "Wait, what about classes?" she asked. I hadn't thought of that. "Gracie, you can't miss that many classes." She stated. I knew that. But I had to go. She sighed, "I'll somehow tell your professors." I rinsed out my mouth. "Oh thank you!" I exclaimed hugging her. "Just go get ready." She spoke grabbing her toothbrush, that she leaves at my apartment.

                I felt like a sped through getting ready. I was just so nervous. I know it's not bad, but it might not be good either. I was just hoping that it went well. "Gracie, calm down." Evanna spoke. "I am calm." I spoke brushing my hair. "Really? Cause you have been brushing that one section of hair for the past ten minutes." She pointed out. I just smiled sheepishly and brushed the rest of my hair.

*Later That Morning*

                I sat in the lobby of the building I was taken to. It was polished and nice looking. "Sweetie, Paul would like to see you now." I heard the secretary said. I just breathed in a deep breath and got up.

                I smiled as I walked by her and opened the door. I looked inside to see a man sitting at a desk. He seemed kind of laid back, as he had his feet propped up on his desk.  "Oh you must be Sophia!" He exclaimed dropping his feet down. I forgot to tell Zayn that I liked to be called Gracie. "Oh, I liked to be called Gracie." I began, "I forgot to tell Zayn that." He nodded and walked around his desk. "It's nice to meet you Gracie." He said shaking my hand. "Nice to meet you too." I said. I was still nervous.

                "Please sit." He said motioning toward a comfy chair. I smiled and sat down. "So," he began, "have you seen the news." I nodded. "We have too. Now I know the truth. It was a big misunderstanding." I nodded. " But we have a plan." He spoke sitting on the desk in front of me.

                "What do you mean?" I asked. "Well management thinks that it would get good publicity if we didn't deny the rumors." I was shocked. They  just wanted more fans!

                "So you mean to tell me you want Zayn and I to pretend to be a couple? Just to get more fans." I spoke trying to be calm. "No, no we are not going to make you guys pretend to be a couple. That's outrageous to do. We just want you guys to hang out more." He spoke. That seemed reasonable. "Do you want to do that?" He asked. I smiled. "I guess I could." I spoke. "Great! You are going to start today. You and Zayn are going to go shopping. Something simple to start off with." He said walking me toward the door. "The car will take you to their flat, where you will be picking up Zayn." I just nodded as I walked out of the door.

                My mind was honestly racing. So now I'm Zayn's new best friend? I'll be hanging out with him. I'll be the new focus of all the teenage girls that happen to like One Direction.

                "Gracie, so is it true you and Zayn are an item?" I turned to see a lone reporter. I honestly didn't know what to say or do. "Gracie!" I turned  around again and saw flashes of light come to my eyes. I covered my eyes. How did they know my nickname? "Are you and Zayn going to the States this Christmas?" I turned again to see more! How did they know I was from America? "Leave her alone! Back up!" I turned once again, realizing I did a total 360. I looked to see the driver. "Come on Sweetie." He said grabbing my arms and pulling me to the safe car. I felt light headed and dizzy. I could barely walk. So I was practically dragged to the car, but I didn't care.

                I finally made it inside the car. I just laid down on the cool leather seats and closed my eyes. I just tried to picture myself in my comfy bed, in my cozy apartment. I would groan everytime I opened my eyes. I wasn't at home. I was surrounded by crazy paparazzi.

                I jumped when I heard the honk of the car. I realized I wasn't buckled up, so I buckled up. I looked out the tinted window to see people still flashing cameras as we drove off. I just laid my head against the cool window. "Get used to this sweet heart." The driver spoke. He seemed sweet. I sighed. "You will get used to it and love it." He said with a smile. "I hope." I whispered. "You know Miss Paige was the same way when she first started to hang out with Master Harry." He spoke. "Really?" I asked. "Yes, so you will not be alone." He said with a smile. I just weakly smiled back.

                "We are here." He said. He ran around the car and got the door before me. I just smiled as he laughed. "Here you go Miss." He said. "Gracie." I finished. He smiled. "Miss Gracie." He said. "Thank you um." I spoke getting out of the car. "Charles." He said. "Thank you Charles." I said.

                I took a breath as I walked up the steps. I can't believe I was picking up Zayn. I thought the guys did this. I walked up to the door and felt myself freeze. Why was I so nervous? We practically hung out in my apartment!

                "Hello?" I looked up. "Oh my God."I whispered. I just stood there in shock as I looked at the person.
