What's Life Without You?

Chapter 04

I picked up my phone and excused myself as I walked outside.

"Hello?" I asked a bit agitated that they had to ring at this moment.

"Hello, my names James from 97.4 Tunez radio, is this Kirrily Sheridan?"

(DISCLAIMER: This is not a real station. This was purely created from my own imagination)

"Uh, yes, that's me" I replied nervously.

"Well, congratulations! You've won tickets for you and a friend to go to New York City for the movie premiere of The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire, walk the red carpet and be an interviewer for us and interview Jennifer Lawrence and all the stars of the new movie! Plus, we're giving you 1500 allowance! But in American dollars of course! All expenses paid all flights included!" He replied cheerily, obviously still on air.

I squealed lightly. "Really?" I asked super excited.

"Really! Did we also tell you that you will be accompanying a few big stars as well? Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Taylor Swift, Beyoncè and One Direction are just a few on the list. So get packing for on the 21st of March you're going to New York!"

My heart stopped. One Direction? That means Niall.

"Oh goodness," I said breathless into the phone.

"Oh you're there. If you mind holding on I'll grab your contact details. But right now I'm playing a new track from Rihanna featuring David Guetta. This is Right Now."

After I gave James my contact details and decided on a day to come in and collect my tickets and things. I walked back inside to join Kendra again.

I pondered how I even ended up entering. Then I remembered that I entered today. While Kendra was at her interview.

"So?" Kendra asked referring to the phone call.

"Well..." I dragged out the 'l'.

"Yes?" Kendra raised her eyebrows.

"GUESSWHOSGOINGTONEWYORKTOSEETHEPREMIEREOFTHEHUNGERGAMESTWOUSTWO! ANDWEREINTERVIEWINGFORTUNEZRADIOSTATIONLIKEALLTHEBIGSTARSANDNIALLSGONNABETHEREANDWEHAVETOAVOIDHIM."

I said in one quick breath.

"Woah, Woah, Woah Mamasita! Slow down!" Kendra put her hands up and drew out her Spanish accent. (A/n: Kendra is of Spanish descent even though she's from Ireland.)

After I had told her properly and slowly what was happening 2 weeks later we stood up and walked out of the cafeteria and back to our dorm which was 2 blocks away.

"Okay, so you're telling me that we're going to New York City?" Kendra said excitement dripping from her words.

"YES!" I squealed excitedly.

"But how long are we staying there?" Kendra asked.

"James said for a week." I chirped.

"But what are we going to tell our headmistress?" Kendra frowned.

"Who? Mrs. Everdeen? She's easy to take care of!" I giggled a bit at her surname. Everdeen.

"If you say so." Kendra said a few paces in front of me as I tried to keep up with her.

~An hour later~

"No." our headmistress, Mrs. Everdeen spoke fiercely.

"But-" I tried to but into her lecture.

Kendra and I were sitting in Mrs. Everdeen's office. Obviously upset that we weren't allowed to go.

"NO BUTS! I will not let you out of your studies for a day! Particularly when you two are the only ones with your condensed bachelor degree programs! Do I make myself clear?" She said leaning forward on her desk and looking into my eyes like she was looking into my soul and then moved on to do the same to Kendra. Just like how One Direction did in the video of Little Things. God, I really need to stop thinking about them.
