✴Ulani Hoque✴
I open my eyes as the sun breaks through my bedroom window and turn to glance at the clock to my left.

8:52 am

I stand up to stretch and that's when I register what the clock says.

"No, no, no! Oh my god, this cannot be happening to me today! The first day and of course I'm late. Wow, great job Ulani!"

I rush to grab the clothes I set out for today, not bothering to wash my hair, putting into a quick side braid instead. I wash my face, brush my teeth, and quickly apply eyeliner & mascara. Slipping on my shoes while grabbing my phone, purse, and a peach, I ran out the door and headed to my car.

*20 minutes later*

I park my Jeep and rush inside to the main desk of the agency.

"Hello, my name is Niessa. How may I help you today?"

"Hi, my name's Ulani Hoque. I'm here for the musical production internship. I'm sorry that I'm a bit late, I was supposed to show at 9:05."

"Oh yes, of course! Here is your security pass, keys, flash drive, and schedule. Please sit right over there and I'll notify Mr. Bonetta that you've arrived."

"Thank you Niessa."

"No problem honey."

As I sat down in the lounge area across from the service desk, 4 boys come tumbling through the revolving door, landing on each other and almost getting stuck in the door.

Interesting.

Just then, Mr. Bonetta emerged from his his office and came over to me.

"Hey, I'm Julian Bonetta. You must be Ulani, yeah?"

"Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Bonetta. I'm sorry for my being late."

"No need for formalities Ulani. Call me Julian and absolutely no worries love, everyone one gets it easy on their first day. Besides, your work is quite impressive. This will be a paid internship. I will explain all of the rules, give you some equipment, and some forms along with your contract later on. For now, let's go meet some people though."

"I guess you've already met Niessa," says, smiling to his eyes. "Over there are Paul, Steve, and Mark. They work on all of the tours. Paul is our tour manager, Steve is the bus driver, and Mark is the boys' personal trainer. Speak of the devils though,"  Julian says as the boys from the revolving door arrive beside us.

"Ulani, this is One Direction. From the left, they are Harry, Liam, Niall, and Louis."

"Hi, I'm Ulani Hoque. I'm the new musical production intern," I say, sticking my hand out

"Nice to meet you, I'm Louis," he said shaking my hand.

"Hello, I'm Liam. It's a pleasure," he says, also shaking my hand.

"I'm Harry, how are you?"

"Oh I'm fine," I say smiling as he returns it.

Then, Niall steps up.
He holds my gaze then introduces himself.

"Hey, 'm Niall. Can't wait t' work wit'ya" And with that, he grabbed my hand and pulled me in for a hug.

As I pulled away, I realized that it felt strangely familiar and safe. Odd.
