i told my mom the details for this weekend last night, and she agreed to let me go. although i was sort of dreading going, it could be fun. i sat down at my lunch table and unpacked my food, waiting for josephine to join me. as if on cue, she came and sat down across from me. "are you ready for this weekend?" she asked.

"no," i said simply, taking a bite of my sandwich. josephine's eyes widened. "delilah, we're seeing four incredibly hot guys third row, and you're not ready? you've always got to be ready for that," she said. "oh, i thought you meant if i had packed or not. but either way, i'm not ready," i said. josephine glared at me. "oh, come on, delilah."

i shrugged and suppressed a smile. i knew she was actually kind of mad, and i didn't want to push her anymore. "i'll pack tonight, i promise," i said. josephine laughed a little, rolling her eyes. "you need to come over tonight after you pack so you can help me choose what to wear for the concert, and you need to wear something cute too," she said. i groaned. "i don't care what these boys think of me, why do i need to dress cute?"

josephine sighed, obviously trying to come up with a quick excuse. "so we can take cute pictures," she said quickly. "i know you live for cute pictures," she says with a triumphant look on her face. i sighed. "fine," i said. josephine smirked at me. "oh, this is gonna be fun."

once i got home later that day, i started packing. only lightly since we're only staying for one night. i packed pajamas, clothes for the next day, and any other essentials i could pack right now. almost as soon as i finished, josephine texted me, telling me to bring some cute clothes over and we could choose what to wear together.

i grabbed a few pairs of shorts, a few cute shirts, and even a skirt, though i usually don't wear them. "hey mom, i'm going over to josephine's for an hour," i called to my mom. "okay," she called back, and i waved to her and my younger brother who was with her in the living room.

when i got to josephine's house, i walked in without even knocking. that's just kind of what we do. i walked up to her room
and heard music, what i was assuming to be one direction, playing extremely loudly and rolled my eyes. i knocked loudly, because even though i'd walk into her house without knocking, i wouldn't enter her room without knocking.

the moment she opened the door, she pulled me in by my wrist and closed the door again. keeping a hold on my wrist, she started dancing around, somewhat forcing me to do the same. "drag me down," she sung along, finally letting go of my wrist and turning off the music. "let's get down to business," she said.

after trying on about 15 outfits each, we finally decided on one for each of us. josephine was wearing light wash jeans with a cute black tank top. with that, she would wear sandals and a cute black hat. as for me, i would wear  light wash jean shorts overalls with a crop top saying "you are my sun and moon and all my stars". i would also wear black vans.

"we are going to look so cute!" josephine squealed, looking in the mirror. "but just hold on, i have to ship you with someone," she said, looking me over as if she's never seen me before. "obviously, you can't have liam, because he's mine," she pondered. "so, i'm going with louis, or maybe niall." she said. "yup, either of them."

i shook my head, laughing lightly and plopping down on her bed. "should we wear these outfits all day tomorrow or just for the concert?" josephine asked. "well, probably all day if you think there's any chance we'll meet them before the concert," i said. "good point!" josephine said. "i've taught you well," she joked.

"oh, come on, it's common sense," i said, standing up. "but i should probably get going if we have an early morning. anything else i need to know before i leave?" i asked, starting to gather up my stuff. josephine thought for a moment. "just try to learn they boys' names," she said finally.

"why should i do that?" i asked, not sure why that was essential. "just so you don't have to ask me five hundred thousand times which one is which," she said. i sighed, but decided i'd try at least once to learn their names. "okay, but i'm going. you picking me up in the morning?" i asked, waking towards the door. "yup, bye," she said, starting to put away all the other clothes that had accumulated all over her room.

"bye," i smiled, walking downstairs. "bye, mrs. tuller," i said, waving to her mom as i left. i walked back home and changed out of my outfit for tomorrow, and into pajamas. i got in bed and covered up, grabbing my phone. i looked up "one direction member names". immediately, the members of one direction showed up on the image with their names next to them.

i memorized the four on the screen, and then saw that there was a former member. i remember josephine being worked up about one member leaving for a while, but i never really thought of it. anyways, i went back to the four current members and made sure i remembered their names. i kept mixing up louis and liam, and i probably even wouldn't remember by tomorrow, but at least i tried.

one other thing i noticed is that while they were admittedly attractive, none of them really caught my eye. they were kinda typical, what you would expect a normal boyband to look like. i shrugged, and exited the page on my phone. i scrolled through my phone a little bit more until i set my alarm for early the next morning, and drifted off to sleep.

-

i woke up to my alarm early the next morning, and also my phone repeatedly buzzing with texts from josephine. i turned off the alarm and ignored the texts for right now, as i needed to get in the shower. after my shower, i dried my hair and changed into some sweatpants and a t-shirt for the moment. i grabbed my phone and walked down the stairs.

as i walked downstairs, i decided to make some pancakes. i got out the mix and made it and started heating up the skillet. i looked through all my texts from josephine, the majority of them looking something like "FKKODSNLTS". so, not sure how to reply, i said "same".

i poured the batter for the pancakes in the skillet and made two pancakes. i ate them quickly, scrolling through instagram and twitter. once i finished eating, i put my dishes in the sink and went upstairs. i put on my outfit i picked out yesterday and made sure i had everything packed before going back downstairs to talk to my parents before leaving.

"wow, you must've been up early," my brother, cody, commented. i glared at him, and sat down at the table with my mom, dad, and cody who were just now eating. "are you excited for today?" my mom asked. i rolled my eyes and laughed a little. "not really," i said.

my mom laughed a little, and i looked at my phone, noticing josephine had just texted me. "you ready?" it read. i replied "2 minutes" and stood up. "well, i'm going," i said. "i'll see you guys tomorrow, love you," i said, kissing my mom and dad on the top of their heads and ruffling cody's hair. he glared at me and i waved to them, grabbing my bag and walking out to see josephine parked in my driveway.

i laughed and jumped in the passengers seat, putting my bag in the back seat. "hello," i said. she looked to me, looking like she was trying to control herself. "how can you be so chill when i'm going to see liam freaking payne for the first time in real life," she said, slowly getting louder as she spoke. i threw my hands up in the air. "sorry," i said, buckling my seat belt. she laughed a little. "let's get this party started."
