Beth's POV 

"OH MY GOD I WON!" I screamed. My entire Bio class looked up at me in annoyance.  

"Beth, please quiet now, some people are still taking the test." Scolded my teacher. "And no phones in school." She added.  

My face flushed bright red and I slid down in my chair. I grabbed a book from my bag to hid my iPhone from sight. I had never been a bad student, in fact the only reason the teacher wouldn't have already taken my phone away was because her, along with every other teacher, loved me. I'm the ideal student. I get good grades, do my homework, ace every test, and I rarely complain or use my phone. But it was totally worth getting yelled at to revive that news. I look at my phone. On the screen was a message from MTV, it read:

"Congratulations!  

You have been selected out of thousands of people to receive One Directions. But with this knowledge come great responsibility. You cannot, under any circumstances, give the numbers away. If you do so the numbers will be changed and you will not have access to them ever again. Remember girls, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, don't waste it."

I squealed silently and tapped one of the numbers given to me. There was no specification on which one of the five's number it was, so I guess that was up to me to find out. 

I pulled up a message and pasted the number in. Starting to get worried I contemplated what I should say. What if they though I was too needy? What if my message makes me sound like a dumb blonde?  

Ideal swirled through my head as I tried to pick out the best one. Then the lightbulb went off. A fake out.  

(A/n ok so now I'm going to write it like you would see text messages. ? represents the number Beth is texting, aka one if the boys. I will replace it with their name once she finds out who it is. there's gonna be description between some of the texts)

From Beth: Hey Ash! Wanna hang after class?

I took a deep breath and hit send, hopefully this would work. Within a minute I got a response.

From ?: wrong number, but I would love to hang after school ;)

I gasped. This was probably Harry, Niall or Liam would never imply something like that, Zayn is too quiet and Louis would probably freak if a random number texted him. Maybe I should just ask who it is, that way they don't know I'm one of the girls who won and it would be casual.

From Beth: umm.. Who is this?

I sent it, kind of hoping it would be Harry.

From ?: I should be asking you the same.

From Beth: my names Beth... And yours?

From ?: sorry I don't give out my name to strangers.. Maybe I could get to know you a bit first ;)

From Beth: fine. Ask me anything.

From ?: how old are you?

From Beth: 16, you? 

 From ?: around 16. What do you look like?

From Beth: umm...what do you mean?like my hair color?

From ?: why don't you just send a picture?

My eyes widened. Shit. I had plenty of pictures of myself but it had to be a good one! I was, after all, texting a member of 1D. I scrolled through my phone trying to find a good one. Finally I settled on a picture of me and my friend at her pool party. I was wearing my pastel floral bikini with a mesh see through shirt over it. My brown hair was pushed back and soaking wet. We were making funny faces at the camera so I figured it wouldn't look like I was trying too hard to impress him.

From Beth: I'm the one on the left :)

I set it and tapped my finger on my test, impatiently waiting his reply. But sadly the bell rung, signaling the end of class. I shoved my phone in my bag and rushes out of the room. It was already hard to get to my bus on time, I had no time to waste.  

I rushed through the crowded hallway, dodging the obnoxious cheerleaders practicing and ignoring the people calling my name.  

"Sorry guys!" I shouted as I went. "I gotta get to my bus!" I sprinted down the stairs, weaving in and out of the crowds, my bag flying behind me. Finally I bursted through the doors, just as my bus pulled out of the school. This was one of those moments where your life seemed to go in slow motion.  

I rushed towards the bus, my arms flailing for it to stop. But despite my valient effort it drove away from sight. I wanted to sink to my knees in defeat, but instead I began my long trek home. This pretty much sucked. I know I seem over dramatic but my house was a 40 minute walk away, and I'm really not in the best shape.  

I grabbed my phone out of my bag again and plugged in my headphones, the first song that came on was "love is Blindness" by U2. I hummed along until the song was interrupted by a sharp ding, signaling I got a new message. I pulled my phone out and slid my finger across the screen. It was the mystery member of 1D. I smiled broadly and read the message. Suddenly my big smile turned to a frown.

From ?: maybe you should take that bikini off ;)
