Chapter 2: The Deal

It was my first day as a makeup artist. And let me tell you something, I'm not really fond of who I'm putting makeup on. It's a band who calls themselves "One Direction".

Okay, I may have heard of them, but I never really paid attention. I was hoping to be assigned to Jennifer Lopez or Katy Perry or even Barbra Streisand. But, no. I was assigned to One Direction.

After graduation, each one will be assigned to a band, singer or even TV shows and movies. I wanted to try Walking Dead, you know, so I could meet Norman Reedus. Or maybe even Glee. All my life I wanted to be part of that TV show just to sing it all out. But then, again, I was assigned to One Direction.

My best friend, Kiera, was assigned to Maroon 5 and I was so jealous. She was jealous of me too. She said that One Direction was hotter than Maroon 5 and I couldn't believe she said that.

Right now, I'm fixing my stuff in the dressing room, preparing the make up for One Direction. Suddenly, a hand grabbed my mouth and I yelped.

"Ssshh." The guy said. He had curly hair and really beautiful green eyes. He also had this British accent and his other hand was wrapped around my waist.

"Hey! We lost him!" A guy with Blonde hair said to a guy who had a microphone tattoo.

"I guess so." The other guy said. "Let's just get out of here and inform Liam and Louis."

We waited for 2 more minutes 'till he lets me go and I take a better look at him. "Sorry." He apologized. "We're playing hide and seek."

I chuckled and looked at him. "It's okay. Just make sure to stop scaring people."

He laughed too. He had this really cute dimple and smile. "I'm Harry, by the way." He held out his hand for a shake.

"Holly." I said and I took his hand to shake it.

"Holly!" I heard someone call me. At first I thought it was Harry practicing my name or something but it was just Lou, the one who assigned me here. "Oh." She said after she saw Harry. "You two finally met."

"We did. Why?" I asked.

"Well, he's one of the guys you're assigned with."

What? Him? Seriously? After that, I didn't have the courage to turn around and look back at Harry. He's one of them?

"She's the one, Lou?" Harry asked. "Well, good job. She's gorgeous."

Lou smiled. "She sure is."

I rolled my eyes. What a flirt. "I- I need air." I pushed myself toward the door and let myself out. I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed Kiera, but it quickly goes to voice mail.

Hey! This is Kiera, and if I don't answer, it probably means I'm putting make up on Adam Levine and I don't want to be disturbed or I'm making out with him. Call me later!

I sighed. Good for her she's having fun. I locked my phone and I took a deep breathe and went back inside. This time, there were four more. Two of them were the ones I saw a while ago and the other two must be Liam and Louis.

"Holly! Come over here!" Lou called. I quickly went to her and she took a hold of my curly blonde hair.

"Niall, Liam, Zayn, Louis. This is Holly."

"Heyyo!" they all said in unison.

"Uh. Hey." I smiled.

Louis, the one with the stripped shirt, carried me and twirled me around. "Welcome to the family!"

"Thanks, Louis."

"Well." Lou scoffed. "You should start fixing them up. They have a photo shoot coming. " I nodded and took my bag.
