Anne drew's POV

"Hello?" i said as i answered the call.

"Is this Ms. Anne drew Phyllis?" someone asked at the other end of the line he sounded creepy.

"Yes. Who is this?" i asked Mr. Creepy, then i looked at Justin. He whispered to put him on speaker, so i did.

"Alright. This is Preston assistant manager of Paul Higgins. Handler of One Direction." he said. I was really confused. Why did he called me? Did i violate some rule i didn't knew? Or it is prohibited to cover a One Direction song without permission? But wait. We haven't recorded a single song of them. We're just planning to. "Paul is inviting you and your brother to come to the office, the day after tomorrow. And to please bring a demo of your songs."

I was shocked at what he said. And so as my brother. He had his jaw dropped. "Are you serious?" i asked before i could stop myself.

"I believe so Ms. Phyllis. So what do you say?"

I can't believe this! I looked at my brother who is staring at my phone wide-eyed. I nudged him. "what?" i whispered.

"Tell him yes!" he said with his eyes shining brightly.

"Of course Mr. Preston. We’ll be there.” I told him.

“That’s settled then. We’ll see you at 10”

“W-wait!” I said before he hangs up.

“Yes?”

“We don’t have original songs. We only do covers.” I informed him.

“Oh, that’s not a problem. Record covers then. That would be alright.”

“Okay. Thanks.”

“See you then.” He said then hung up.

“OH MY GOOOOOOOD! OMG! OMG! OMG! JUSTIN! THIS IS IT! I can’t believe we’ll be recognized.” I hugged him.

“wait. What about gran?” he asked worried.

“Right!” I slapped his arm. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”

“I forgot. Why didn’t you think of that before, then?” he retorted. I just made a face at him and rolled my eyes. “Don’t worry. We’re still not sure if we get signed yet. We’re just gonna submit a demo.” He told me. “Okay? So we just wait and see.”

I nodded. “So what songs are we gonna give them?”

“Since it’s One Direction… we can’t submit a One Direction song.”

An idea struck me. “I know!” I told him then dragged him down the basement.

After an exhausting 5 hours of recording, we finally had burned the songs to a cd. We’ve got: My Heart, Seasons Of Love, California King Bed, Hurricane and Lucky. All we have to do is rest. I walked up to my room and lay down on my bed. I felt so tired. Then my brain travelled back to the call earlier. If Preston was the assistant manager, and Paul – the manager, wanted us to go to the office that means… We have to see One Direction there! Ooooh. I’m getting excited! It’s not that I’m a big fan or anything… I still love Maroon 5! It’s just that they’re the biggest boy band (from what I’ve heard) and my classmates would probably get jealous. Let’s see if they still don’t wanna make friends with me. Ha!

[After 2 days]

Here I am in front of the mirror looking at myself, still not satisfied with what I’m wearing. I wore a plaid long-sleeved polo that I have unbuttoned all the way down (of course I wore a singlet inside), and folded the sleeves up to my elbows, paired up with some acid washed shorts and my hidden-heeled shoes. I ironed my hair just to tame it. I decided to put on some eyeliner and a bit of lip gloss.
