I walk into the school corridor and see Scarlett and Ann, we have been friends since like FOREVER. We kinda do everything together. We're together in the same class, we take the same subjects, we sit together, we join club meetings together, we hang out everyday after school, on weekends. If we could, we would even live together. Of course, we fangirl over One Direction, our beloved British-IRISH (people always forget Niall's from Ireland ugh) boyband together. And today's a special day which I like to call it my BIRTHDAY. What's special is that it's my Sweet Sixteen. I've waited for this day for my entire life because you know what they say that a girl's sixteenth birthday will be the most unforgettable one. I know those two are very sweet, so they must've prepared something for it. I'm gonna wait for it calmly.

I wave and say, ''Hey guys, what's up?"

"Not much, just wanna say Happy Birthday to you." Scarlett says.

"Yeah, Happy Sweet Sixteen girl." Ann says.

I smile and hug them,"Thanks guys, you're the best." Though they did say Happy Birthday to me, but I still feel there's something missing. They didn't forget my present, did they? No we've been doing this since preschool. They must remember my birthday. I then become frustrated, and when I get frustrated, I start talking to myself in gibberish like "ash li ro warararara hahaha op ma rrrrrrrrr."

"You okay Ava? Calm down and come on over." Ann says as we walk into a room.

Suddenly all the lights go out. I scream like someone just stabbed me with a knife, "God, what just happened?"

I see five tall people walking into the room. I think, "OMG, they got me One Direction!"

And just as I am about to run and go hug them, the lights turn on and IT IS ONE DIRECTION. And our own mini-concert is about to start.

I recognised that guitar intro. They're playing Forever Young! On my birthday! I felt so hyper.

"Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while. Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies. Hoping for the best but expecting the worst. Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?" Liam's solo came on and apparently we Directioners fangirled hard.

We sang along and all the X-Factor memories came flooding back. I think I'm so happy that I'm about to burst into tears.

"Let us die young or let us live forever, we don't have the power but we never say never. Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip, the music's for the sad men."

Here comes the chorus where we all sing in perfect unison. "Forever Young, I wanna be forever young. Do you really wanna live forever? Forever, forever young."

"Yes, I wanna live forever!", I shouted.

"Some are like water, some are like the heat, some are a melody and some are the beat. But sooner or later they all will be gone, why don't they stay young?"

"Oh my God! It's Harry's turn!" apparently Scarlett and Ann's getting excited. That ear-piercing scream haha.

"It's hard to get old without a cause, I don't want to perish like a fading horse. Youth is like diamonds in the sun, and diamonds are forever."

Oh dear, all their angelic voices. We all clapped along. Then I know that this is the best Sweet Sixteen I could possibly have. And Scarlett and Ann are the best friends I could possibly have. I love them so, so much.

"Forever Young, I wanna be, forever young. Do you really want to live forever? Forever, or never? Forever young, I wanna be, forever young (forever). Do you really want to live forever? Forever, Or never? So many adventures couldn't happen today, so many songs we forgot to play, so many dreams are swinging out of the blue, we let 'em come true."

The boys suddenly came down from the mini-stage and stood right beside us. I was absolutely shocked. I mean like, my idols, my five greatest inspirations, CELEBRITIES FOR GOD'S SAKE, they're standing right beside ME!"

"Forever Young, I wanna be, forever young. Do you really want to live forever? Forever, or never? Forever Young, I wanna be, forever young. Do you really want to live forever? Forever, or never? Forever young, I wanna be, forever young (forever). Do you really want to live forever? Forever, Or never?"

"Forever Young, I wanna be, forever young (forever). Do you really want to live forever (forever)? Forever (forever), Or never?"

Just so perfect. And apparently too perfect to be true that I actually dropped to the ground and fainted. So, I was unconscious for the following two hours... I have no idea what happened during it.
