"And the winner is..." I crossed my fingers and bounced my legs anxiously as I waited for the professor to tell my film class who had won the film competition. He looked to be having trouble opening the envelope that contained the name of the winner and it was killing me. I had worked so hard on my video and I really want to be picked. I didn't quite know all the details of what the prize was but I wanted it. The professor finally got the envelope open and squinted his eyes to read. "Michael Clifford!" He shouted and everyone clapped for me. I jumped up out of my seat and practically ran to the front of the class. My professor smiled at me and gave me a friendly hug before handing me a long envelope. He motioned for me to stay next to him as he dismissed the class for the day. Everyone exited the college classroom rather quickly and I was left alone with the professor.

"Thank you so much sir. I am so happy you picked me." I told him while taking a seat in the chair in front of his desk.

"Well you did such a wonderful job on that short film you made. It was hard not to pick you Mr. Clifford." He cleared his throat and straightened some papers on his desk before explaining the whole prize thing. "Michael, since you have won the contest you have been selected to film the band 5 Seconds Of Summer while they are on tour for the next year." My jaw dropped as I stared at him in utter shock. "In the envelope I gave you is your plane ticket to them and a list of everything you'll need. I expect you to take this seriously as this is a big deal."

"Oh of course sir. Thank you again." He stood up and reached his hand out. I did the same and we shook hands.

"You will be excused from all classes of course. I expect you to be ready on time." I nodded one last time and rushed out of the classroom and out to the parking lot. It took me 15 minutes to find my car but alas, I did. I drove as fast as I could to my apartment that I shared with my friend Caroline. She was the only person who would room with a gay 18 year old boy. I don't mind it though. She's the ultimate best friend and she doesn't judge. When I got home Caroline was sitting on the couch on her laptop with her headphones in. She had her thin blonde hair up in a messy bun with no make up on. She was wearing grey yoga shorts and a plain grey v neck t-shirt. I walked in shutting the door rather loudly in order to get her attention. Her head shot up and she sighed in relief when she saw it was only me. I plopped down beside her on the couch and sighed loudly.

"Well someone is happy today." Caroline said taking out her headphones and shutting her laptop. She turned to face me and put her hands in her lap waiting for me to tell her what had me so cheerful.

"As a matter of fact, I am." She looked at me and raised her eyebrows as if to tell me to continue. "I won the film competition!" She screamed and jumped up and down on the couch before pulling me into a hug.

"That is amazing Mike! What was the prize?"

"I get to film the band 5 Seconds Of Summer while they're on tour." I thought she was going to faint. Caroline's jaw dropped instantly. I knew she loved them. She had posters all over her walls in her bedroom and had a lot of the bands merchandise. She knew a lot about them as well. I swear that girl could go on for days about that Ashton guys eyes. I enjoyed their music but I wasn't obsessed like Caroline.

"You are so lucky! I am gonna write letters for all the boys and you're going to give them to them and you're gonna make Ashton love me and you are going to..." Caroline continued rambling about the things I'm going to do for her as she went through my bag in search of paper and a pen. I chuckled as she began writing. At first she read what she was writing out loud but she got quieter and quieter until she wasn't speaking.
