Behind the Scenes

The Interview

The screaming was even more intense, and the girls who were hearing the broadcast that were standing outside began to scream as well which you could faintly hear. I watched with all the other girls as the five boys came out onto the set smiling and waving at the crowd before shaking the host’s hands and taking their seats on a large couch adjacent to them.

More girls began to faint and men rushed out to make sure nobody got hurt. After about 5 minutes, the girls were settling down and began turning to their friends and saying repeatedly, ‘Oh My GOD!’.

“Well that was quite the welcome, do you boys ever get used to that?” Miranda asked the boys, distinctly pushing her chest out more whilst doing so.

Liam was the first to answer, and when he did, the screaming picked up for a brief second before quieting down once again. “Well, I don’t think we ever could get used to it as were always so shocked and pleased that people are so excited to see us; I mean were just normal guys so it’s still quite strange.” He said in his beautiful British accent.

Darcey was griping my arm furiously as Liam was her favourite and was practically vibrating, she was so excited.

“well boys, how have you been enjoying Canada thus far? It’s not your first time here, right?” John said

This time Harry piped up receiving an even louder shriek from the crowd, “we love it here, although it is quite cold. I mean were used to cold being from the UK and all, but this is colder than were used to.”

“I bet, so boys, we have some questions here from fans that we promised to ask you…” Miranda said.

She read some off her cards, and Darcey whispered the answers to me before the boys responded, getting it right every time. The questions were pretty routine, describe each other, what do you miss from home, what three things would you take with you on a desert island, and more.

Finally, John joined in and said they would take some questions from the audience and at once, girls began getting excited all over again and began smoothing their hair.

“Alright boys, you can each pick a girl from the audience and she can ask a question if that’s alright.” John said to them

They all nodded in agreement and Louis went first. He scanned the crowd before selecting a girl who looked about 9, and had her hair in pigtails.

“Um, I was just wondering what you enjoy other than music…” she said shyly into the microphone someone had handed her.

“That’s a good question!” Liam said, as Louis made an aww face at how cute the girl was.

“Well personally, I like watching films and sometimes reading,” Zayn said

“I like having a good laugh whenever I can” Louis said.

“I like going to the gym or just being with my friends” Liam said

“I like playing some football, or I guess soccer over here, and I like my twitter.” Harry said

“I like football as well,” Niall said, “And food!”

Everyone laughed at his comment, before the next boys picked which girl would ask a question. When it was Zayn’s turn, he looked around before looking right in our my direction, and chose Darcey who was reaching her arm as far as it would go when they asked who else had a question.

She almost started hyperventilating before she was handed a microphone and the cameras as well as everyone’s eyes were trained on her. “Oh gosh, well my question is… hmm, ok I got it! Have you ever lied and said you were drunk as an excuse as to why you did something, and if so, what was it?”

They all laughed, and Niall said “That’s my favourite question yet.”

Liam and Zayn said they hadn’t, but Louis said he had when he called a girl that he liked 18 times.

Everyone laughed, and Niall said that he had when he broke his mum’s best china tea cups.

Harry then said he had when he and his friend had broken a swing set in their local park because they had been jumping on it.

Once again, everyone laughed and the smile on Darcey’s face had grown to a size I didn’t know was possible.

The rest of the interview went by routinely and was a lot of fun, but then the boys left, and once again all the girls screamed loudly as ever.

**2 hours later**

I flopped down on the mattress in our hotel room exhausted while Darcey continued to jump up and down excitedly repeating everything that had happened that night.

After the show, Darcey had dragged my out to stand around for an hour in a hopes that we’d catch a glimpse of the boys again; which we hadn’t.

“Man, I’m pooped!” I said

“How can you be tired? I’m so wired I don’t think I’ll sleep at all tonight! I mean we just saw ONE DIRECTION! And tomorrow we get to see them again in concert! Plus were in Toronto with no parents until we have to go back home in two days on that awful train ride, but still this is so exciting!” Darcey babbled

I chuckled, “So I guess you don’t wanna sleep then?”

“Hell no! Let’s go shopping! The mall’s just down the street anyways.” She replied.

I reluctantly agreed and we went down to the giant 24 hour mall that barley had anyone in it due to the fact that it was 12:30 on a Thursday.

We milled around for a while before I saw a cool looking shop with a ton of funny hats and glasses in the window beside a bunch of Canadian souvenir things, and we went in.

We had been in the store for about ten minutes, when I found it. It was a top hat, with the top of it hanging to the side like it had come off, and out of the hat, a bunch of stuffed Pokémon were popping out.

I laughed as I picked it up, and Darcey grabbed a pair of ginormous sunglasses and we snapped a picture. We were still laughing to ourselves over the result when we heard another person laugh. Turning around, I saw Louis Tomlinson smiling at me.

“That is the best hat ever!” he exclaimed

Darcey was stunned beside me and couldn’t say anything, I on the other hand, really enjoyed their music and was psyched to see their concert but wasn’t in love with any of them like she was, so I just smiled before examining the hat he was wearing. It was a set of fake antlers, that sat on your head while brown material velcroed under your chin with a maple leaf in the middle of it; it also lighted up.

“Clearly not as cool as yours! That is wicked.” I replied

“Hey Louis, look!”

We both looked to see the other four One Direction boys come around the corner, each with either a funny hat or pair of sunglasses on, and that’s when Darcey fainted.
