Living in a Dream (1D)

Living In a dream (A One Direction Fanfic)

(Alex POV)

Wednesday March 13th:

I sat up, turning off the alarm. Jumped out of bed, putting on my clothes I set out the night before. I sat down at my so called vanity, a cardboard box with a filthy mirror balancing on the flat surface. I quickly brushed my hair and applied a small coat of mascara to my eyelashes. On my way out of my room I brushed my teeth, wiping the access tooth paste off of my chapped lips, and on to my sleeve.

"Bye Alex! Have a good day at school!" Said the leader of the orphanage Meredith.

"Yeah yeah..." I replied as I slammed the door to the house behind me.

I unlocked my rusty car, hopping in to the drivers side. As I drove off, I got a call from my best friend Kate.

"You almost here?"

"Yeah, be there soon!" I lied, I had totally forgot I had to pick her up on my way to school. My mind was set on One Direction, my favorite band, and One Direction only.

I pulled up at Kate's garage, and honked to let her know I was there. As I waited I went on my smart phone, and logged into my twitter account.

New tweet: @NiallOfficial tweeted: "Arriving in Chicago tomorrow! Can't wait to see all our lovely fans at Fridays concert! Xx"

How I wish I could go to the concert but the tickets are so expansive! They are at least $200 and I've only saved up about $70.

"Hey, Alex. What did that Neil boy say today?" Said Kate as she hopped in to the shot gun.

"It's Niall! Sound it out with me, Nyyee-Aaalll,"I replied with a hint of annoyance in my voice.

"Okay Alex calm down."

The rest of the drive was silent. school isn't that far away from where I live. I go to SpringBook High school, in Illinois. Living in the city has its perks and its problems. Like the Great atmosphere, and as a problem, the garbage and gangs. I live maybe five minutes from down town Chicago.

I parked behind the school, trying not to be seen. Ever since I found out about one direction and became obsessed, people started to make fun of me and bully me. I would be mocked and shoved against lockers. I would get called names like "loser" "Whore" just because I loved the band.

We walked out of the car and into the school.

"So what did Niall say?" Asked Kate innocently.

"They're coming tomorrow, for the concert on Friday." I replied

"Don't worry we will find a way to get you to go!"

"It's fine, it's not like it's ever going to happen. How am I supposed to get $200 in one day? And anyways it's probably all sold out."

"Don't say that! You have to believe! Just think of Peter Pan, if you don't believe you won't be able to fly!" Kate said jokingly.

When I was little I had a crush on Peter Pan and she won't stop making fun of me for that.
