Recap: Great, now my phone has humiliated me in front of my music idol. As if I
needed any help. What was I supposed to do now?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I realize that I haven't told my family about my elimination or my performance
offer. I hit a few buttons on my phone and soon I see my sisters face through
FaceTime. “Hey” I say with a smile.
“Did you get through?” she practically screams
My face fell, and she got the message. “Oh, you didn’t”
“Is that Olivia?” I hear my mom call.
“Yeah, you and dad should come in here” my sister says with a monotone voice.
My mom and dad also pick up the message pretty quickly.
“I’m so sorry, Olivia” my dad says sympathetically.
That turns out to be all it takes to make me cry again.
“So when do I book your flight home?” my mom says, trying to do something
beneficial, her usual reaction to bad news.
With all my pain over leaving the show I’d forgotten about my performance with
One Direction.
“I think I’ll be ready in about a week.” I say, knowing what she would ask.
“Why on earth would you need to stay another week?”
“I’ve got a part in the finals, being third place and all.”
“oh, what are they having you do?”
“ I’m going to be performing with the guest during the show.”
I can practically hear the gears turning in my little sister’s head.
“The guest performer next week is One Direction, OH MY GOSH, OLIVIA YOU’RE
PERFORMING WITH ONE DIRECTION?!”
“Oh, am I? I thought Harry Styles dropped in to say hi.” I say sarcastically.
“OH MY GOSH YOU MET HARRY STYLES! TELL ME EVERYTHING TELL ME TELL ME
TELLMETELLMETELLME! I want to know everything!” My sister screams, getting
a hushed voice for the last sentence.
My dad winced and covered his ears at my sister’s screaming. My mom
laughed, and said, “I think we’ll leave you two to talk for a bit.” She and dad
left the room after that, and I was left alone with my one direction crazed sister.
“So what happened?” she said excitedly.
I can’t lie, I am just as excited as she is - I’m just better at hiding it than she is.
“Well,” I say, “I was in the contestant break room, right? And I was bawling my
eyes out ‘cause i had just gotten eliminated…” she listens well, laughing at the
right parts, and squealing along with me as I tell her about the texts I found
on my phone.
“He is definitely flirting with you,” she says excitedly.
“I don’t know,” I say, “He probably does this to everyone, he is a huge pop star
and all.”
My sister rolls her eyes. “Oh, paaalease! He pretty obviously is trying to hook up with you. And besides, don’t be so hard on yourself, you are
TOTALLY flirt-able!”
“flirt-able?”
“Yes, that’s my word, flirt-able!”
“OK, well ignoring that, there are a few problems with that theory. One, I’m 16,
he’s 18. Two, He’s an international superstar, he can’t be seen with a nobody
girlfriend, and three, i’m sure he’s got much prettier girls practically throwing
themselves at him. Why would he take any notice of me?”
I’ve always been insecure about my looks, never felt like i was truly beautiful.
That’s probably partially due to the fact I’m probably the only 16 year old girl in
the world who has never had a boyfriend. I’ve only liked one guy, and he
broke my heart back in the 8th grade. He found out I liked him, and he
responded rather rudely. He said some really mean things, and the only
remorse he’s ever shown is sending a message through a friend that he was
sorry. He didn’t even bother saying it to my face. From then on he has pretty
much ignored me. I know I should’t have taken the things he said to heart, but
I can’t help it. Krissy, my little sis, knows all about it, and has been trying to
cheer me up since then.
“All three of those ‘problems’ are easily solved with one direction stalker
knowledge, my dear! One, Harry says that he wants a younger girl so he can
help her through life…”
“Tell that to Caroline Flack” I mumble.
“I heard that. Anyway, two, all the boys have said they would date a fan, and
three, the other girls throw themselves at him, guys don’t want the girl that is
already all over them, they want the one they have to chase. Besides, believe it
or not, you aren’t hideous, in fact…”
I know exactly what she’s about to do, and I’m not thrilled about it.
“YOU DON’T KNOW OH-OH, YOU DON’T KNOW YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL!!!”
“You know I don’t like it when you do that,” I say trying to hold back a smile.
“Oh, you know you love it.” she said with a grin. Krissy always knows what to
say to make me happy, that’s why I love having her as a little sister.
“Fine, you win,” I say.
“I’ll expect an invite to the wedding within the year.” my sister said with a grin.
I don’t even try to protest this, I know that’s exactly what she wants me to do. I
just sigh and send her a dirty look.
After another half hour or so I say good-bye to my sister. It’s late, about
10:00 p.m., and since I had a big day tomorrow, I decided to hit the sack. I walked
slowly back to my room, where I normally would be packing for a flight back to
the sticks.
I didn’t bother to change, I just lay on my bed and fell asleep.
