A Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Chapter 31: Sound Check

                                       Harry's POV

    I could tell by Sof's face that Simon told her the news. She was going to perform with us. I wanted to tell her, but it seems that Sofia asked something that led to that. She entered the stage and came storming towards me. I just smirked and said.

"SURPRISE!" I said and added jazz hands.

                                       Sofia's POV

    Is Harry serious? He made me go on tour, but it came with a catch.

"Harry, why didn't you tell me this before?" I said.

"Because I knew you would say no." Harry said smirking.

"I wouldn't have said no. I wouldn't do it that, that's all." I said shrugging it off like it wasn't a big deal.

"Sofia, you have to get known. You have talent. You have to do it, please?" Harry said practically begging me.

"What's happening, Harry?" Liam said and all of the boys came to us, confused.

"Sofia doesn't want to perform." Harry said explaining to them.

"What do you mean? She isn't performing." Niall said.

"Yes, she is! I forgot to tell you guys that. She's supposed to be our opening act." Harry said clearing it up.

"Well, that's great!" Louis said jumping up and down with excitement.

     Then he took one look at me and he started to worry.

"Right, Sofia?" Louis asked me.

"No. It's your concert, not mine. I'm just your best friend." I said to them.

"With a talent. You are our best friend with a talent and you have to get known. Everybody needs to see how talented you are." Zayn said and that totally broke the tension we had before, which made me sigh with relief.

"Then I guess I'll give it a shot." I said to them, defeated.

     All of the boys (including the band) screamed in happiness.

"Okay so how does this work?" I said to them.

"Easy. You start off first since you are the opening act." Harry said smiling at me and the boys left the stage, only leaving me on it.

"So you are Sofia, correct?" Said the director.

     I read his name tag and apparently, his name is Henry.

"Yes, Henry." I said to him politely.

"How did you know my name?" Henry said amazed.

"Your name tag." I said to him and pointed at it.

"Oh, okay. Sorry." He said sheepishly.

"Don't worry. I have brain farts once in a while, too." I said smiling at him.

     He smiled at me back. At least I made him happier.

"Well, the boys say that you can play the piano, the guitar and the drums, right?" He asked.

"Yes, that is correct." I said to him.

"So the opening act is just thirty minutes. I think you can handle that, right?" Henry said.

"Of course." I said to him reassuringly.

"Okay so homework for tonight is to pick ten songs; five songs in two instruments you'd like. You can mix and change between the whole tour if you want to. That's it." Henry said.

     That was my sound check. Now came the boys' sound check, which was easier since they already had their songs picked out. When we finished that, we said our goodbyes to the band, the director and Simon and then left to the hotel.

"So how did you like sound check?" Zayn asked me when we got to the hotel.

"Pretty cool. You guys?" I asked them.

"Cool, too. We better get some sleep since we are performing tomorrow. And I mean all of us. Not just us, Sofia." Liam said pointing a finger at me.

     Hey, my mom told him he had to take care of me. So I went straight to the bathroom, took a nice, relaxing shower and changed my pj's. This time, I had a plaid shirt and some white pajama shorts. I put my hair in a ponytail and went straight to bed.
