That one letter *on hold*

Chapter 2

Mia's POV

The week was a blur. A long miserable, anticipating week. I'm not sure whether it was the fact that I had 5 days of 6 hour lessons with teachers that think they're helping, but they're making your life a complete misery. But today was Friday, last day before the much needed weekend.

It was lesson 6, my favourite Music! I walked into a class of pianos on tables pushed against the walls, in the middle of the room there was four tables in a square. This was used to write music or do written work. At the front of the classroom were the grand piano and the whiteboard, which was always covered with music notes. Thank goodness Becky was in my class, Abby my other friend used to as well, but she moved away. If Becky wasn't here I would have gone insane.

When I walked in to the class, Becky was already sat down in her space. 'Ok class, today is a free lesson, you can finish your coursework or do some of the thing you have been working on at home' thank you Mrs Wood! Before I had a chance to talk to Becky she already had her phone out and was looking at pictures of One Direction. But this was my chance to practice for tomorrow; I have to sing in a recording studio in front of the management. I need to practice, it need to be good, and of course a one direction song!

'Becky, do I have to sing a one direction song?' I asked

'It will get you in their good books' she was right, but I still wanted to sing a song that wasn't theirs. So 'I'm yours' by Jason Mraz and 'gotta be you' by One Direction it is then. These were two of my favourite songs. They both had a good beat and really good lyrics. This could be it, my chance to become someone. Someone who people look up to and love my music.

Before too long, the whole hour had gone, and I had practiced about 200 times over.

'That was good, Mia, really good' Becky stated

'Thanks, if I win do you recon I stand a chance to sing with one direction?' I asked

'Yes!' Our conversation mainly consisted of Becky going on about some random tweet from Niall or something. Soon we were at the car park. I said goodbye to Becky after promising to call her and Niamh if I won the competition. What are they like?

It was a longer walk home than usual, the paths seemed to be longer, the houses seemed bigger and the cars moved slower. The wait is killing me! Finally I reached home. This was it, reaching for the mailbox my heart started beating faster and my hands became sweaty. I could feel my pulse in my feet. The world suddenly was in slow motion as I opened the lid. There it was the letter, just sat there. Gradually sliding the letter from the metal box, it had One Directions management address on. A sudden burst of excitement caused me to tear open the document and scan the page:

I am pleased to say that the management would like you to come, and sing with One Direction, please make sure you are at the address above at 10am on the 10th of March, where a car will come and take you to the recording studios.

Ahhhhhh, I won. I'm going to sing and be recorded in front of a huge management, and One Direction is a bonus. Ok I must admit the one with brown hair and blue eyes. Was it Lloyd or Louis? I can't remember, but he was kinda cute. I. Had. Won!

In a split second I was on the phone to Becky and Niamh.

'Hello Mi-'

'I WONNN! Will you two come with me?'

A muffled squeal of excitement came from the other end; I guess that was a yes.

'I won't be able to sleep, what am I going to wear for the management?' I asked

'Stay round tonight, we will get ready together.' The answer I wanted.

A quick call to mum to say where I was and a 10 minute walk, I was at Niamh and Becky's house. During the week I had somehow gained a key to their house, so I let myself in and stumbled up to their room.
