Harry's POV

Today is the day. The day that is going to change everything. Whether it was for better or for worse I have no idea. From now on I am going to either get out-booed or cheered on. I was nervous. We (meaning Louis) had sent out flyers in school with a pic of me and a message for everyone to text and vote for me today. It was so embarrassing but he continued to persuade me that it was a brilliant idea. An idea that would make me a winner.

7 o'clock was the time I had to be at the venue. It was fairly early but I guess they had to sign me in and since nearly a thousand contestants were going to audition today, they had to start the auditions at around noon.

Louis came to pick me up early this morning. I didn't have many minutes to get ready so I was a bit of a fashion mess. Fortunately I had picked out my outfit the day before. It was the clothes bought on the shopping spree Louis and I had earlier this week. 

"Why did you have to pick me up so early" I whined looking at an excited Louis on the way to the arena.

"You can't miss your special day, Harry. I knew how the weather would be today so I figured we could've used the extra time getting there." He replied not taking his eyes of the road. I must say. Louis was a great driver. Not making any mistakes behind the wheel and always had a great eye for how the traffic was.

We got to the parking lot of the arena and search for an open lot. It was 30 minuted until 7 and as said, traffic was horrible.

"Told you it was going to be better to come early." Louis said when walking up to the entrance.

I just sighed and leaved Louis at the vending machines as I continued my way to the front desks to sign myself in. The queue was so long but it kept growing and by the time I got to the front the line was reaching out of the entrance and into the fresh air outside.

"Harry Styles." I said when the girl asked for my name. She looked like she was my age actually.

"Lets see." She roamed through a folder for my number. She scanned the number for a second before handing the piece of paper to me. "What a change."

"Sorry what?" I looked at her confused of why she said that. The look in her eyes was soft.

"The picture you sent in along with your application is nothing like this" She gestures to my body.

"Oh that. Yeah, I had to do something to stand out" I say with a shrug and walk away. But before I am too far away I can hear her talk one last thing.

"Damn, you did a fine job there Mr. Styles." I glance behind my shoulder at her but she continued her job.

Did I really look that good? I hadn't even had the time to do anything this morning. Before this make over I had lot's of products in my hair making it stay in place, but today I guess I looked sexier? I don't know why but hearing her comments made me more excited and confident that this 'thing' might work!

"All contestants to the main area." A monotone male voice sounded from the backstage speakers. There were chairs to sit in until being called. I supposed they went after the alphabet so my name would be somewhere by the end of the day. 

Louis didn't get to be with me backstage. They said that if they allowed one of your friends/family backstage, everyone wanted to take someone backstage and it would be too crowded. He had to sit in the crowd instead. It was okay though. I'm not nervous. No. Not at all. Well, okay, no lies. I am fairly nervous but I can't do anything about it.
