"Baby I can feel your halo, pray it won't fade away, I can feel your halo halo halo"
"Laila!! Stop singing, it's 3 in the morning. Someone here is trying to sleep"
"Okay, I'm sorry". I quickly shut off my computer and went to my bed. Beds in university dorms are restless. I can't wait to go home for the weekend and sleep peacefully. I always wanted to be a singer but being born in a middle class family meant Doctor, Lawyer or Engineer. My mom is a doctor and my dad is a lawyer and they want me to join an academic field too. I used to go to my vocal coach everyday until I came here to study psychology. Psychology is not that bad, I always wondered about why people act, the way they act. It's interesting.
The door to my room opened and came in my best friend, Jasmine. "Laila, have you been singing all this time or actually did some studying? You know we have a test tomorrow right?"
Damn, I forgot about the test. "How can I forgot?" I answered quickly, hoping she wouldn't catch my lie.
"Okay, go to sleep"
"And listen, tomorrow at 6 in the afternoon, you need to go to the studio to practice your song for the talent show. Don't forget" and she left.
"Ugh" I groaned. Too much stress. I wish I could fast forward my life where I'm married to a rich billionaire and have 2 kids. Can't wait to graduate university. Sometimes I wish I was rich, being in middle class family means a lot of Responsibilities. My sister is a lawyer just like my dad so that leaves me to be a doctor, according to my mum. I look at the time, it's 3:30am now. I think I should sleep.
*************************************
The test wasn't that bad. My Psychology professor always says that I was born to be a psychologist.
"Laila"
"Oh hey, kody. What's up?"
Kody and I are friends since grade 9. He is the typical bad boy, does all type of drugs, drinking, everything a Bad ass does but when it comes to me, he's all caring and nice. Most people think we're dating because we're so close to each other but he protects me like I'm his younger sister. He's the only one who supports me with my passion. Singing.
"I'm great, Mr. Sean called you to his office, I'll walk you there come on"
As we were walking to the studio, I noticed some girls crying, some running to towards the studio, some scream. What's up with everyone???
When I reached the studio, Mr. Sean told me to start singing and that he has someone to take care of and Kody left to get us something to eat. I started to sing and practice my song. To be honest, I love my voice. Some people say I sing like Beyoncé. For me, it's a huge compliment.
After I finished singing, Mr. Sean was standing there with 5 young lads. I've seen them somewhere........but where
Oh shit
No
This can't be happening
It's world's biggest boyband.
Shit.
It's One Direction.
All of them are smiling at me except one. Weird.
That explains all the girls outside.
"Laila I would like you to meet Louis, Niall, Harry, Liam and Zayn"
Breath Laila Breath.
"Hi" was all I could say.
"They're here to choose 3 people from our university, who can sing, for their 5 day charity gig in 2 months. And the good news is that you're one of them." Mr. Sean explains.
It take me a few minutes to take in what he said. Shit. It's a dream come true. I love one direction so much and Zayn was/is my all time favorite and his smile would light up my world but then he broke up with his beautiful girlfriend, who was an Italian model and that smile was gone. Now, everyone who's met him says that he's cold hearted and doesn't give a shit about anything thing or anyone. But I don't believe them. Zayn is know for having his heart on his arm. How can he be mean?
"Do you wanna do this?" asked Mr. Sean.
"Of course I do"
"Great then from tomorrow your rehearsals start"
"Yoo Sean" said Zayn " Why can't we have all boys? I mean this girl doesn't even have a good voice"
Ouch.
That hurts. A lot. Hearing a negative comments from your ideal. It fucking hurts.
So that means everyone was right? He is cold hearted.
He doesn't care about anyone's feelings.
I ran from there before anyone could see my tears. I heard my name being called but I kept running. Who knew, so much will happen in one day.
