I woke up the next morning to the sun shining and being in a wonderful mood. Although it was Monday at 7:00am, I was in a fantastic mood and nothing could ruin it. Today was my first studio session with Simon and few other important people. I got in the shower and washed my body. I didn't feel like washing my hair so I tied it into a braid to the side of my head. I pulled out a few loose strands to frame my face and put on a light layer of makeup. For my lips, today I decided to do I hot pink matte lip. I swiped that on and went to my closet. I picked out a pair of ripped light wash denim shorts and a flowy white tank top. Over that I threw on my oversized Brandy Melville cardigan. I put on my white converse and grabbed my black Marc Jacobs purse. I put on gold Ray Bans on my head and walked into the kitchen. Cristina was asleep still and I didn't want to wake her. I grabbed a banana and a muffin out of the fridge and filled my travel mug with coffee and quickly wrote a note Cristina. 'First studio session! Have a good day, Harry is picking me up from the studio at 5. Not sure when I'll be home! Text me if you need anything! Love you. xoxo, Stella.' I left it on the counter and was met by a large black SUV outside my condo. Simon stepped out and gave me a warm hug. "Hello Stella. You seem well rested! How have you been enjoying London? I hope the boys have been good to you!" he said smiling. We got into the car and Simon motioned for the driver to get going. "I am thank you! I love it here, everything is so beautiful! It is more than what I imagined it to be! Yes, the boys have been amazing to us!" I said smiling. One boy in particular was being extra sweet, but that was besides the point. "Good, are you ready to get started? I have big plans for you Stella!" Simon said. "I couldn't be more excited" I said grinning as we pulled into the parking lot. We got out of the car and I followed Simon down a large hallway and into a huge room that was split in half by a glass screen. There was a woman behind the glass setting up the microphone and chair. There were 2 people, a man, and a woman, smiling at me. "Hello, I'm Jes, I'm going to be your vocal coach." the man said shaking my hand. "And I'm Lou, I'm going to be your stylist!" the girl said pulling me into a hug. Stylist? I had a stylist? This was all so surreal. I looked at Simon and he just winked at me and motioned for me to sit down. I sat and Simon began to speak. "First off, we want you to continue to post videos on YouTube. They don't have to be every week, but just as often as you can because you will be very busy for the next few weeks. We want you to release 4 singles by mid September that will be on your new album that will be coming out late December, but hopefully before Christmas. We want you to start performing live and opening up for the boys on their upcoming world tour starting in November. You will be here in the studio 3 days a week from 9:00am until 5 or 6pm depending on how the day went. Then on Saturday morning beginning at 8am, you will be at a dance studio just down the street from here working on your performance skills and getting used to the idea of being in front of a live audience, not to mention sold out stadiums because you will be opening for One Direction after all. Also once ever 2 weeks you will meet with Lou and go over your style options. We want to keep you as natural as possible. Not to mention photo shoots, interviews, and flying to and from Sweden to record there as well to work with other producers. Any questions?" Simon said finally taking a breath. I just looked at him and blinked. Pardon me? How the hell was I supposed to remember all of that. I looked at Simon and said "Uh....yeah I think so." "Don't worry Stella, I will give you a schedule that you will have so that you will know exactly where to be at all times. Next thing, do you have a car?" he asked. "No I don't...and at the moment I don't exactly have the money to buy one." I said feeling a bit embarrassed. "Not to worry Stella, there will be a car in your parking lot for you when you get back to your condo. I will send the keys up to your friend." he said back to me. "Simon, I can't accept a car from you! That's way too much money!" I said feeling very guilty. "Stella please, who do you think bought the boys all their first car?" he said winking at me. Suddenly I didn't feel so bad. "Now enough with the chit chat, lets get started." he said. The next few hours were spent working with my vocal coach, doing new singing techniques, warm ups, exercises and such. Then we moved on to me going in the front of the mic and singing some of my covers on YouTube live for Simon, Lou and Jes. They all gave me pointers and then we talked about my sound, my image, and my style for a little bit. Before I knew it, it was 10 to five. I put my cardigan back on and Lou offered to walk me out. I had only just met her today but I already loved her. "I love your outfit Stella! I'm going to have so much fun working with you!" she said grabbing my hand. "Thank you! I can't wait to get started!" I said smiling at her. We got to the parking lot and she asked me "Do you need a ride home love?" "No I'm good thanks, I'm waiting for Harry, he's gonna be here any minute" I told her. "Ou Harry is coming? He never goes out of his way for a girl! You must be pretty special to him! By the way, I'm the boys stylist as well!" I blushed and replied with "Yeah he's pretty cute. You're kidding! No wonder they always look amazing all the time!" I said winking at her. She blew me a kiss and said "I'll see you tomorrow love!" I waved at her and checked my phone.
