ZAYN'S POV:

"How dare you?! How dare you?!" I shouted at the devil in front of me. "A potato?"

"Well, in my defense, you do look like one..."

"But a potato?! Of all things?" I put a hand over my eyes and feigned a dramatic death.

"Yes. And you just introduced yourself just now so there's really no point in getting me to recite your name again, is there?" She said. "It's not dictation."

Thank god her brunette friend came out, or I would have done something terrible.

"LOLO! One Direction is going to perform in two minutes! Let's go..." Her brunette friend with caramel eyes came out of the room and said.

One Direction...that sounded very familiar...

"OH PHOOEY IM BLOODY LATE!"

The brunette froze, turning around from Lauren to stare hard at my face.

Gosh, her scream could wake the dead and my great great great great grandma Sarah.

Or was her name Sue? Who cares.

"OMFGJSUSNXUWNDIS"

Was this English? Because if it was, I was clearly taught the wrong language in school.

"Okay. What Camz means to say, is that," The green-eyed goddess took a deep breath before saying, "OH MY GOD YOU ARE ZAYN MALIK FROM ONE DIRECTION!"

"So you do know who I am!" I grinned proudly, radiating smugness.

The green-eyed beauty rolled her eyes. "Of course. I mean, who doesn't know you guys."

Just then, she froze.

"Shouldn't you be on stage now?"

Gosh, why am I so absent-minded these days?

"See you later!" I said, throwing a wink at both of them before running off, causing the brunette to faint into the other girl's arms.

Oops.

"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?!?"

Oops.

"Um. Making friends?" I rubbed the back of my neck embarrassedly.

"With the toilet bowl? Did you fall asleep?" Liam waved his hands in the air, almost knocking my head with the mike in the process.

"Bradford bad boy!!!" The oldest, shockingly, screamed. Louis' blue eyes flashed mischievously and gave me a thumbs up sign.

"We'll talk about this later." Liam pointed at me sternly as we took our positions and did what we did best.

Dancing.

Okay, I was kidding.

*After dancing*

"No wonder we call you the latest." Liam lay back on the reclining chair, taking a sip from the Pepsi he held.

I shrugged. "Can't help that I get easily distracted."

In a corner, Nialler, Hazza and Lou were practicing their pirouettes to a song of the contestants were singing.

To you, this might look weird. But to the One Direction book club, this was like walking to Walmart and singing at the top of your lungs.

Wait. Is that normal?

"Up next, Fifth Harmony!"

"Yes! A girl group!" Liam cheered as we all stared at him weirdly. "What? They're all fit and have lovely voices. Turn it up, will you?"

A girl group... I wonder if the mystery girl is in there...

To the others' disbelief, I jumped up and grabbed the controller, setting the volume to the maximum.

I grabbed the pamphlet stating the order of the acts and flipped to the "Fifth Harmony" section. Dinah Jane Hansen, Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Camila Cabello...

So that was Camz.

And Lauren Jauregui.

Finally. The mystery girl.

Normani:

When I find myself in times of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

And in my hour of darkness

She is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.


Ally:

Let it be, let it be.

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.


Lauren:

And when the broken hearted people

Living in the world agree,

There will be an answer, let it be.

For though they may be parted there is

Still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be. yeah

There will be an answer, let it be.


Dinah:

I wake up to the sound of music

Mother Mary, Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.


Camila:

Let it be, let it be, let it be.

There's gonna be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be.

Oh let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be yeah

There will be an answer, let it be.


"Wow." We all breathed out simultaneously.

Never in my life have I listened to angels as beautiful as this. And Lauren. When she hit that high note...

Niall broke the silence and my deep, deep thoughts.

"Chips, anyone?"

Several acts passed and finally, the results were out. We were all literally at the corner of the coffee table by the time the presenter stepped on stage.

We were sitting on the table. Don't judge us.

"In third place, we have..."

"Please don't say..."

"Fifth Harmony."

"WHAT?!"

We all fell on the floor, my nose falling into Louis' hair.

Oooh. It smelt like my shampoo that ran out so quickly all the time.

Hold on a minute...
