Princess In Training (Book 1)

Chapter 20

I was sitting in my room when I realized what time it is. I need to start getting ready for the concert! I run over to my closet trying to figure out what to wear. I mean I am not only going to see One Direction in concert but I am also meeting them. These are the only 3 backstage passes for this concert. I walk into my closet and find a knee length flower pattern dress, with a halter top. I run into my shower and quickly clean myself up and then change into the dress along with a pair of flats. I curl my hair and just leave it sitting down. I put on some light makeup and then grab my purse with the tickets in it and run down to the parlor of the embassy. I get to the parlor just as Tia and Belle get there.
"Great timing! Now let's go to the concert!" I say and we head out to the town car and begin heading to wherever the concert is being held. Once we were in the town car I pass each girl her ticket and pass seeing as though we were going to be spending time backstage before and after the show. Once I told my security about the tickets they told me we had to arrive around the same time the band would so that the security team has time to prepare even though no one knows I am a royal. The car pulls up outside the venue and we all rush out of the car to the door that security has opened for us. We get backstage and the three of us freeze. There is so much going on.

"Hello my name is Paul! I am the boys tour manager and head of security. Now which one of you is the Princess?" He asks and we all stare at him in shock.

"How do you know that?" I ask him.

"Well when the President of the country you are visiting calls you personally, you listen to every last word. So I would guess that you are the Princess?" He asks me.

"Yes, I am the Princess of Genovia." I say and he gives a quick bow.

"We have stationed three of your security guards around your seat, and there will be a few of my guards around also, so you will be perfectly safe." He explains. "The boys are very excited to meet you, but I must warn you they do not know about your royal title." Paul says.

"That is fine with me." I say with a smile on my face as we turn a corner and begin walking down a heavily guarded hallway.
"You will be in here with the boys until about 30 minutes before the concert. Then we will escort you out to your seats, and then we will bring you back here after the concert." He says as he knocks on the door.

"Thank you very much." I say with a smile as the door opens.

"Wow, that is a lot of security." Louis says as he stands in the doorway. "You three must be the lucky ladies tonight. Come on in." He says stepping to the side so we can all come in. I look around the room to see it empty of people but full of messes. The door closes and the three of us make our way over to the couch as Louis starts cleaning up. "Sorry about the mess, normally our backstage passes are only valid after the concert." He says as he throws away a bunch of trash. "Wait, these should also only be valid after the concert...and there is a crap ton of security...who are you?" He asks looking at the three of us.

"I'm Samantha, and this is Tianna and Belle." I tell him and he narrows his eyes at me.

"You look really familiar." He says and I just look down. Lucky for me at that moment the door opens and reveals the other three members of One Direction.

"Wow there is a lot more security here tonight...wonder why?" Niall says and at that moment Liam spots us three girls and turns to Louis.

"Lou, this room is a mess! Ladies I am so sorry you had to see this mess. Lads come on clean up!" He yells and the four of them get to work.

"Are you girls not telling me something because you look just a guilty as me?" I say and Tia looks at me.

"A few gossip magazines have started rumors about you since you have been spotted in the embassy, and the royal plane, but no one has your name yet. They only have pictures of your face." Tia tells me.

"Well that explains a lot." I say and they both nod.

"And to make it worse, some of the major magazine companies have started to run the story too. It's not advertised or anything it's just kind of there." Belle says.

"Well there we have the reason that I look familiar!" I say and a few moments later the dressing room is clean and the boys have taken seats all around the room facing the three of us.

"So, as you three probably already know, I am Liam, this is Louis, and they are Harry and Niall." Liam says and they all smile and wave.

"I am Samantha, and this is Tianna and Belle." I introduce, and the boys all keep staring at me.

"Samantha, you look really familiar." Harry says.

"And you have the same name as my brother." I say with a smile.

"Wait! I know where I recognize you from!" Louis says before running out of the room.

"Well that was weird." Niall says and Louis comes running back in the room with an armful of magazines.

"You two said a few!" I whisper yell and they both look very guilty.

"You are the mystery girl!" Louis yells, and I just nod my head.

"Wait, Louis you have been following that story?" Liam asks.

'Of course! It's in pretty much every magazine!" Louis replies. "So wait you're the mystery girl, and there is a crap ton of security around you, so the rumor has to be true!" Louis says.

"Can I see one of those?" I ask and Louis passes me one of the magazines. "No sorry. That's not me. She does have similar qualities to me though." I say handing him back the magazine.

"Then explain all of the security that is here tonight. We have never had this much security at a show." He says.

"Well I heard a rumor that the president's daughters were coming tonight. That could be why." I say and the boys all nod in agreement but Liam keeps a close eye on me.

"Well tell us about yourselves girls." Louis says as he places his stack of gossip magazines on the table and takes a seat between Liam and Harry.

We all just hang out in their dressing room talking and getting to know each other until Paul comes to get us girls for the concert. "We will see you after the concert!" I say waving at the boys as we leave the room. "Why didn't you girls tell me about the magazines?" I ask.
"Because we didn't know you would want to do anything like this when you came back." Belle says.

"I didn't know I would be given tickets. Looks like we were both proven wrong." I say sassily as we arrive at our seats. It wasn't long until the concert started and we had a blast singing and dancing along to the songs. Once the concert ended the security quickly moves us backstage to a waiting area to give the boys time to shower and change.

"Just to inform you, you will be leaving the venue the same time as the lads." Paul says.

"Is there any chance you could move us out before them? I really do not want the boys to find out I am royalty and they are already suspecting something." I ask.

"That can be arranged but you will be here a while until the crowd dies down." He says.
"That is fine with me." I say as the boys emerge and wave us into their dressing room.

"You guys did amazing!" I say as I take a seat on the couch again.
"Thanks love." Liam says. We sit there just talking for a while more before Paul comes in to escort us girls out. The lads give us each a hug before we walk outside into our car and leave.

*Anonymous' POV*
