Cat's POV

Five pairs of sneakers trample out of the black van, their owners stopping dead in their tracks. Surprise and joy plaster smiles on their handsome faces, their eyes expressing gratefulness as they scan the crowds. I can't believe they're here! A cry of "VAS' HAPPENIN'!" sends the directioners into squeals. Oh. My. God. Zayn Malik is wondering down the red carpet, towards me. A fine streak of blonde slices through his dark brown quiff, framing his exotic-shaded face perfectly. "Hey beautiful," he winks. Keep calm, I command myself. Keep calm.

I gulp, "Hi."

He gently takes my notepad and pen, scribbling a signature. "You shy?"

"Just a tad..."

He chuckles, obviously sensing my anxiety. He takes a step closer in his polished boots, the barrier his only prevention, "Why would a beautiful girl like you hide in the shadows, when you were born to stand out?" I blush a crimson shade of red at his compliment. What. A. Flirt. He entirely catches me off guard when he pecks my cheek, lingering around my lips before someone called him over. He turns his head hesitantly to nod at them, then swiftly faces me once more. "What's your name gorgeous?"

"Cat," I smile.

He makes a purring sound with mouth, sending me into giggles. "Well, Cat, I hope we stay in touch," he winks cheekily as he hands over the notepad and pen. He walks away casually, a smirk playing on his lips. I focus on the notepad, noticing his number written down, along with a message he wrote.

"Your skin isn't paper - don't cut it. Your face isn't a mask - don't cover it. Your size isn't a book - don't judge it. Your life isn't a film - don't end it. Cat, you are beautiful. ~Z"

My heart swells at the meaningful words he wrote, giving me an extra boost of confidence. I slide the notepad and pen into my satchel as Rikki grins knowingly at me. My eyes flicker to Sky as she stares straight ahead. She never told me why she didn't like One Direction as much, I guess different people have different tastes. Right? Abruptly, she tenses. I follow her gaze to spot Louis Tomlinson walking in this direction.
