VICTORIA

"Mom I'm home!" I called to her as I walked through the door after a very long day at school.

"Alright Tori, I'm in my room if you need me!" she yelled back, god I hated when she called me Tori. You see there was this girl and she... well I'd rather not talk about it.

I kicked off my shoes and threw my backpack and jacket on the couch. I went to the bathroom to see what I had looked like all day. When I saw my reflection I scared myself! My hair was knotty and my mascara was smeared under my eyes. Why didn't anyone tell me I look like a raccoon?

I ran a brush through my short, blonde hair and fixed the makeup around my hazel eyes. Once I was finished I made my way out into the living room and read the latest One Direction fan fiction.

You guessed it, I'm a huge Directioner. I know pretty much everything there is to know about this wonderful boy band. The one who has a special place in heart is Liam. I just can't help it, he is absolutely gorgeous and has an amazing voice. Then the phone rang interrupting my fantasizing. I sighed and picked it up.

"Hello?" I called into the receiver.

"Hi there, is this Victoria Southwood?" a woman asked.

"Um yes, may I ask who's calling?"

"Oh I'm sorry, this is Karen. I was on an ancestry website and figured out that our families are related, cousins to be exact. Anyway I saw yours, your Mother's and Father's names there and decided to give you a ring. So I did, and here we are." Well this interesting.

"Oh that's cool, so where are you from?" I asked sitting down, I think I detected a British accent but I wasn't quite sure.

"A city called Bristol in England, if couldn't tell from the accent."

"I knew I heard a British accent, and I'm from New Brunswick, Canada."

"That's wonderful my darling, now, is Jennifer there? I would like to ask her a few questions."

"Sure, just a moment." I said in my cheeriest tone as I went to give the phone to my mother.

"The phone's for you." I told her passing it to her.

"Who is it?" she asked me.

"It's Karen, apparently we are related to her. She was on this ancestry website and figured out we're cousins, so talk to her." she nodded and said hello.

About two hours later I heard my mom finally hang up with my mysterious new realtive.

"Toria?" she yelled asking for me to come to her room.

"Yeah?" I asked sitting on her bed.

"Karen seems very nice. We've discussed it and you are going to go to England on Friday for the next two weeks to get to know your cousins."

"Oh my god! Are you serious?!" I asked jumping up and down in excitement. I have always wanted to go to England. It also just so happens that all members of One Direction live there.

"Yes, I'm serious," she told me, "and you better get packing, tomorrow is Friday remember."

"Oh my god!" I shouted, "See you in two hours!" I called to her rushing into my room.

Grabbing my suitcase I carefully selected outfits for my trip. My Mom promised me that she would take me there for my 16th birthday but she said we couldn't afford it this year. Turns out my wish has been granted as my birthday is on October 6th, which is in 3 days.
