chapter 4

As I walk out, Kenz tells me all about her interactions with them. I am fairly confused still by Harry's rude actions. Kenz asks me how it went and I just reply with a simple good, which sends her into a freak-out. 

"Good? Not great? What happened with Zayn? What did he put in your bag? Was it his number? Are you going to call him? How did it go with Harry? Don't you just love him? Does he love you? Did you flirt with him? DId he-"

"Oh my god Kenz, stop! It was good, but did you get the feeling that Harry had been, I don't know, drinking before this?" I snapped at her.

She thought about what I said for a moment, then said, "I mean I guess his eyes were a little hazed, and he did kind of slur...." Her voice trailed off at the realization.

"Yeah, it was good, I am just a little disappointed that he probably won't even remember our encounter now that he will be either passed out or throwing up in a little while.

She nods with a sympthetic look but bounces back instantly. "But really, what happened with Zayn?"

I had completey forgot about the post-it note he placed in my bag. "I don't know he put something in my bag, and like winked at me." I giggled when I remembered the moment.

"Oh my gosh Ash let me see!" I dig through my bag and finally find a bright green post-it note. Call me beautiful, 323-492-5161. 

Kenz screams after reading it, and I am pretty excited too. Of course I will call him, but it does make my stomach feel a little uneasy to know that he carries these around pre-written. We walk to our seats for the concert, still giddy from our meeting earlier.

When we sit in our seats, it all sets in that this is really happening. I just met my idols, and now I am sitting in the front row watching them perform. 

Shortly after we sit down, Five Seconds of Summer begin to perform and Kenz and I sing and dance along with the music. Your just a little bit out of my limit. We scream the lyrics more than we actually sing, since the speakers are right in front of us.

Once all of the opening acts finish the lights turn on while they set up for One Direction's performance.  Kenz and I walk up to the concession stands to get a drink and snack before the real show starts.

When we come back to our seats, I have a beer in each hand. One is for Kenz but she didn't exactly turn 21 yet, and she is too scared to carry a drink around with all the lights up. She holds a pretzel for us, and once we sit down the lights dim and I hand her her drink. I rip off a piece of the pretzel as I hear the opening chords of my favorite One Direction song, Up all Night. I scream my favorite part, Harry's part. 

Katy Perry’s on replay

She's on replay
DJ got the floor to shake, the floor to shake
People going all the way
Yeah, all the way
I'm still wide awake

As they sing 'One Thing", Zayn looks at me and winks. My cheeks flush and he moves in front of me singing: 

I've tried playing it cool
But when I'm looking at you
I can’t ever be brave
'Cause you make my heart race 

Oh my goodness, what is happening? Kenz looks at me with wide eyes and attempts to get Zayn's attention. Harry then comes over, and I can feel the color drain from my face when he hip checks zayn and sings:

Shot me out of the sky
You're my kryptonite
You keep making me weak
Yeah, frozen and can't breathe

Something’s gotta give now
'Cause I’m dying just to make you see
That I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing

My heart skips a beat as he sings these words staring right into my eyes. Kenz looks at me with her jaw dropped to the floor. I just stand there smiling like a fool and singing along with Harry Styles' green eyes staring right into mine.
