“You’re frieking crazy! How in the HELL could you say no?!” “This is not a “thinking” matter! You should have said yes before the question even finished leaving their heavenly mouths!” Lexie and Claire screamed at me as soon as we had walked out of the audition room and into the back parking lot of the building. Without giving myself time to think, I told them about the offer One Direction had made me, and it was all they could do to contain in their screams until we were out of earshot of everyone. Apparently they were under the impression that I had refused the offer, because they were shaking my shoulders in attempt to “shake some sense into me”.
“Guys chill! I didn’t say no. All I did was ask for some time to think! You do understand that this is a big deal! I would be missing so much school, and I would be leaving everything I know! And we all know that my parents would never let me leave the country, much less the state, with 5 boys who they have never met! And don’t you think it’s kind of a quick decision on the boys part? I mean what if they don’t like me as much as they did before? Or we don’t get on well during the tour? Then what? Then I’m completely and utterly screwed.”
“Ari…” they said, calming down a bit after hearing my rant. “First of all, your talent is not going to change. If they liked it then, they will like it on tour. And if for some bizzare reason they change their minds while on tour, then they are crazy. Second, they couldn’t be able to dislike you as a person even if they tried. Third, I’m sure your parents would be cooperative. They know how much you love these boys. And not only would it be a complete dream to spend months together, but you would also be making a living for yourself! Plus, they already let you live in an apartment with two other girls. How much different would going on tour really be for them” Claire said, countering all of my arguments. I mean, I guess she’s right. And it would be like a dream come true. And I’m sure they would have a tutor or something on tour. Right?
“Okay fine. I will call my parents. But don’t get your hopes up…”
“Yeah okay mom I heard you. Yes I will ask them. Yes mom I know. MOM! Okay sorry. Alright. I love you too. Bye.” I hung up as I walked back towards where Lexie and Claire were standing. Surprisingly, my mom had been more rational about the whole situation than I thought she would have been. Of course she wasn’t just letting me go, though. There always had to be a catch…
“Before you even ask, I’ll tell you what she said. Long story short, she said before she could agree to anything, she wanted to meet them.” I said to my eagerly waiting friends.
“Well how is she supposed to meet them?” Claire asked, confusion spreading across her features.
“I’m supposed to invite them for dinner…”
Niall’s P.O.V.
She was beautiful. As soon as I heard her voice, I was mesmerized. It was so clear and beautiful. The boys and I stopped fooling around and listen with mouths wide open as she sang her audition. Ironically, it was Harry’s audition song too. For some strange reason though, I found myself wishing she had sung my song instead… Once we all had snapped out of the trance her voice had put us in, we came to an unspoken agreement. This girl had to be our opening act.
Arianna’s P.O.V.
I knocked on the door lightly, hesitant about what I was about to ask. Just as I was about to chicken out, 5 beautiful faces greeted me at the door.
“Hey love! Come on in!” Louis said enthusiastically, opening the door wide to reveal their “chill out room” as Liam had called it on the note he gave me before I left the audition. As most would expect, it was the coolest “chill out room” I had ever seen, with 2 huge flat screen tvs mounted on the wall, and a wicked gaming system hooked up to one. As they motioned me to one of the 3 couches they had placed around the room, I couldn’t help but stare in awe. It was frieking amazing!
“So have u made a decision yet?” Liam asked lazily from his place on the couch closest to the gaming system. “Not that were rushing you, we were just curious.” He said with a smile on his face.
“Yeah about that…” I began, but before I could say anything else, a cry from Louis cut me off.
“Please don’t say no! Your voice is amazing and we really want you to come and I promise we will be cleaner on the bus and NIALL THINKS YOUR PRETTY!” He shrieked, the last part sounding very rushed before he dashed behind Zayn incase Niall decided to attack him for spilling to me.
“Guys I’m not saying no!” I chuckled, highly amused by Niall’s flushed cheeks and deathly glares toward Louis. “I called my parents, and they said they would consider it, but they wanted to meet you over dinner. I mean I know you guys are busy people so I completely understand if you don’t want to, no worries…” I trailed off towards the end, looking down as my cheeks flushed at my babbling manner. Although I’m not sure what kind of reaction I had pictured, I definitely wasn’t expecting excited grins from my 5 idols.
“Of course babe! That sounds lovely. Just tell us which days you are free, and we will check our schedule.” Harry said with his charming smile sitting upon his face. Nods from the other 4 boys assured me of the agreement with Harry. After settling plans for the end of the week, I walked out to meet back up with Claire and Lex, who had chosen to wait at the car for me. Well, not really chosen, more like forced. I couldn’t have them fainting and squealing at the boys before I had even had a chance to make a good impression.
“How did it go?” Claire asked anxiously.
“Good! They were very agreeable, and we planned dinner for Friday. Oddly enough, they actually sounded excited.” I said, smirking slightly. They had no idea what they were getting themselves into…
Niall’s P.O.V
“Hey Niall, love the rosy red cheeks mate.” Zayn said with a wink, referring my flushed cheeks that came as a result of kisses on the cheek all of us exchanged before Arianna left.
“Shut up…” I mumbled, hoping the boys would just drop it. Who was I kidding? They would jump at the chance to make fun of me, especially if it involved a girl!
“I think someone has got a crush!” Louis squealed from his place on the far couch. That kid and his damn energy! I was never going to hear the end of this now…
“No!” I protested! “Sure she’s a lovely girl, but we literally just met two hours ago. It is not possible to fall for someone that fast. Plus, she probably has an amazing boyfriend already. Even if I did slightly have a tiny bit of a crush, it wouldn’t matter. But I don’t, so this conversation is stupid!” I exclaimed to four smirking faces.
“Mate, were not suggesting that you are madly in love.” Liam replied calmly. Always being the level headed daddy. “We’re just merely stating that may have a tiny crush. It’s not a bad thing!”
“Okay dad.” I said sarcastically before walking of the room. I needed to clear my head and stop being ridiculous. I did not and could not like this girl! After all, she was going to be working with us soon! Simon would kill me for even considering a situation like that. I had to get myself together before dinner on Friday…
