One In A Million

A/N: Did you make an ungodly noise when you saw the update? Well, I promised to find inspo, and I got none! So I'm going as far as I can on a simple idea. My cousin is coming in from North Carolina tonight, so I'm going to get as much done as I can before she comes (I'm leaving my laptop in my room. Which her and her sister tend to take every bloody time they're over.) I'm just doing a quick AN to say hi again! But that's pretty much it!

"So explain to me again where they went?" Jenna replied to my quick explanation of where Vincent went.

I sighed, ruffling my wind-destroyed hair as we slid into the black SUV, "Vincent, Grant, and Brian are in Wales. Grant has a family . . . thing there. And Vincent said they had a business opportunity waiting for them."

"Wait," she shook her head, "In Wales?"

I shrugged as we started driving, "Why not?"

"And where's Jared?"

"Do I have to keep explaining? Really? Blonde much? He's at the soccer kick-off for tonight. Yanno? Where I'm going to rub this awesome song," I ruffled the white papers in my hand, "In that awful coaches face."

Finally she nodded, "I'm gonna pretend I understand, 'cause I don't like your dumb blonde cracks."

"They're funny. It's not like I'm the brunette making fun of you. That's something completely different." I exhaled through pursed lips, playing with the hem of Louis' tank top.

When we got back from Chicago, the boys weren't as furious as I thought they would be. They were just fine, and sat me down to ask me how it was. I left out the part where we went to a 17- club, who wouldn't? They seemed fine with things, and reminded me of my performance today, then left the house with a sweep of rushed kisses and one-armed hugs. I shrugged it off and had Mark pick me up and take me to Andi's house for rehearsal-slash-fittings.

And the boys had been gone all today as well. Be it only nine in the morning and I had just rolled out of bed when Mark carried me out to the car, I still noticed that they weren't home.

"Hey, do you have any idea where the boys are?" I asked, leaning my head against the tinted windows.

She snickered, "Nope, not a clue."

I stared at her through narrowed eyes, "Okay?"

With a serious expression, she turned to me, "What?"

"Why did you laugh?" I asked, trying to look at her exposed phone.

She caught me, and pushed my head away, "I didn't laugh. You're making things up."

With a scoff, I rolled my eyes and answered Mark as he yelled at us to get out of the car.

We obeyed, and stepped out of the car - one beautiful blonde before the scraggly lookin', makeup-lacking pop-star. I made Jenna stop so we could watch Jared warm up for a minute, but then Andi dragged me into the school; The one where all the boys went. And since it was a weekend, we had any class room we wanted.

That's defintily not how Jenna and I took it. We took every class room. Jenna became the teacher as we played around in the science room. Then I screamed at her until she let me be the coach in the gym. We both began writing fanfiction on the chalkboard in the language room, then used the drama room to reenact the boys auditions.

Of course, that all stopped when Mark and Andi started chasing us into the main level girls bathroom. Breathlessly, I plopped down onto the most-likely nasty floor, and began running a brush through my messy hair.
