The Fanboy Life

Chapter One

~Louis' POV~

     Is that so wrong?
    Is it so wrong,
   That you make me strong?

   "Oh my gosh, Louis! I love that song!" Ashton is bouncing with excitement in the seat beside me.

   "I know, Ash, me too!" I can't contain my excitement as the One Direction song ends.

   Ash and I are major fanboys. We love everything about One Direction, and have all the posters/CDs/shirts to prove it.

   "I can't believe they're coming to Doncaster and we can't go!" Ash pushed his brown curls out of his eyes, his dimples showing even though he wasn't smiling. I've had a crush on Ash since as long as I can remember, but he doesn't like me. Being friend-zoned sucks.

   "Yeah, I know, Ash. I wish our mums could afford tickets." We had begged and pleaded, but our mums just couldn't get the money. It was a disappointment, but we didn't blame them.

   "I know, I -- " Ash stopped talking and turned the radio up from his place across my room, right beside it.

   "What are you -- "

   "Shh!" Ash interrupted me. The voice of the DJ broke through the silence.

   "That's right! Free One Direction tickets to the first person who can call in and correctly answer the trivia question!" Ash looked up at me.

   "Pull your phone out, Ash," I whisper-yell, trying to make sure I catch anything else said. He pulls his phone out and types in the number of the radio station.

   "Are you guys ready?" I looked at Ashton. Ready? We were born ready.

   "The question is: what is Liam's dog's name?" Ash immediately presses send. The phone is ringing...

   Ringing...

   Ringing...

   A voice picks up. "You've got 103.6, Donny's only hit music station. Can you correctly answer our One Direction trivia question?"

   Ash is confident; we know our One Direction facts.

   "Yes, I can. Liam's dog's name is Loki." He smiles, knowing he's got it right.

   "That is...correct. However, you were not our first caller." Our faces fall.

   "But you were the first to get it right! Congratulations, you've won two tickets to the October 11th One Direction concert!"

   Ash and I jump up screaming. We're going to the concert!

   After a few seconds, the DJ speaks again.

   "What's your name?"

   "Ash -- Ashton." Ashton is stuttering from excitement.

   "Well, Ashton, you have 24 hours to redeem your tickets. To do so, head on over to our website, www.1036doncaster.com, and click on the link that says 'One Direction.' It will lead you to a new page. At the top is a bar where you enter the code 2fan62b51o626y726s. Then press enter. A new page will again come up. Fill out all the answers for the questions, then press submit. Your tickets will be sent to the address you specify, and should be there by tomorrow or the day after!" Ash, who had been writing all of this down, put down his pencil.

   "Is that it?"

   "That's everything! Congratulations, again!" The DJ hung up, and Ash put his phone down.

   "Oh my gosh Lou! I can't believe we won! We're actually going to a One Direction concert!" Ash was still jumping around, although I had stopped. I liked to think of myself as the mature one here.
