Lucky Me

Chapter 1: Winning

"Hello, who is this. " Jerry the radio guy says. My heart skips a beat. "Ummm... Hey it's Marissa" I said nervously. I felt as if i was dreaming. The odds in winning a radio contest is really  low. Especially a radio contest that is world wide. I heard about the contest on the radio last week coming home from the mall. Usually i pay no attention to the radio commercials. But this was a special contest. A contest for 4 V.I.P. One Direction concert tickets.  I was a big fan of One Direction. Ever since Liam had straight hair and they posted video diaries. I wasn't so much of a stalkerish, obsessed fangirl. But i was still a fan, had a poster or two hung on the wall. The whole album plays on repeat on my ipod. And when someone brings up their name i instantly involve myself in the conversation. "Well Marissa if you answer the following question about One Direction you have yourself and 3 other friends V.I.P. Tickets. Those tickets get you a meet and greet, picture with them, Free goodie bag, front row seats, and more. Now are you ready Marissa?" Jerry said. I thought for a second. Come on Rissa, you got this. You know everything about them. Harry has 4 nipples, Liam had 1 kidney, Louis is Crazy, Niall doesn't know he's beautiful, and Zayn is Vain. That's just the basic facts, i think anybody could know that. But nervous i say "Bring on the question I'm ready!" wow. Did i just say bring on the question. I really did not think that through. I shut of my thoughts and concentrate on the question. "Okay we got a multiple choice question here. Who was the person that signed One Direction back in 2010. was it A. Justin Bieber, B. Justin timberlake, C. Simon Cowell. Or D. Lady GaGa.?" I didn't even have to think about the question. Right away i say "C. Simon Cowell!" any directioner would know that. Jerry pauses than plays celebration music in the background."Ding, ding, ding we have a winner!"                                                          

     I scream with excitement. I hand the phone to my mom, to give the information.  Who would of thought that I would win the radio contest. Emily my best friend is going to flip. I told her about the contest but she never thought i would win. But just in case i told her to decide who we will invite to the concert. We had 4 tickets but 2 of us. She ended up picking her cousin Skyler who is bringing her best friend Brooke. I would considered me, Emily, and Skyler like 3 sisters. But i have only meant Brooke once. It might turnout a little awkward but we will have to deal with it.  I Marissa Doll prefer to be called Rissa. I'm 17 ,I have short kind of long light brown hair. With blond highlights. I have bright brown eyes. I'm not that tall but i have to deal with it. Emily is my best friend, Everyone calls her Emi though. Emi used to have bleach blond hair but now its pastel pink. Not many people can pull of pastel pink hair but i really like Emi''s hair. Her Cousin Skyler is even more gorgeous she is older than me and Emi. 2 years older she's 19. She Short Curly dirty blond hair. Brooke Sky's best friend she is bring had long black hair, a nose piercing and a Monroe. Her eyes are really pretty and there's not a flaw about her. I'm not going to lie i was a little jealous. Brooke is only 18 so she closer to me and Emi's age than we are to Sky's age. My Mom walks in the room. She looks disappointed. "I'm sorry honey the tickets weren't free, i had to turn down their offer." She shakes her hands. I swear I'm about to cry. I put my Head into my hands. "What!?" i say sobbing. My mom laughs "I'm just joking. So who you bringing and what are you wearing. It better be appropriate!" I breath out and feel a little relaxed, but than get annoyed with my mom. "Mom get out, i haven't decided that yet" She rolls her eye's " Alright but you need to watch your little sister while I'm out. Ill be about a hour i just need to pick up a few things for dinner.  bye love you" she shuts the door. I say in my breath " bye, love you"  I turn my music up really loud, blast it through the whole house. I walk down stairs. My 7 year old little sister Lexi was singing along to the song. "Baby you light up my world like nobody else. la la... overwhelmed". "Lexi shut up, Your ruining the song!" I say to hurt. "Lexi shut up, your ruining the song." She repeated me. She's so annoying. "So Lexi i heard you wanted to kiss Harry and his curly head self" I said raising my eye brows and laughing. "What! i never said that. That's Gross! icky!" She said. The fact that she said it was gross was hilarious. I remember those days when i was younger and thought boys were icky. But when you get older hormones take over. If i could i would rip out my hormones and throw them away. I grab a diet Coke out of the fridge and stand by the counter. "Okay Lexi we have a full hour to do what ever you want" I was being a responsible fun sister today. Since i won those concert tickets i feel great, rejuvenated. "Makeover!" She yells out. She gets all excited. "I want curls, and a pretty dress with makeup and shoes!" I laugh. I find children so adorable when they get excited. Except for Mrs.Carla's Son next door. When i babysit him he is a handful. I Tell Lexi to go upstairs and pick a dress out of her dress up clothes. I hear a knock and go get the door while she does that!. Knock,Knock. "I'm Coming!" i call. "Hurry it's hot out here!" I can hear Emi on the other side of the door. I open it and Scream. "Omg, Emi guess what!" I say! She backs up, surprised and shocked by my outburst. "Hmm.. let me think. You finally got a boyfriend?" She laughs. It was'nt even funny. "Haha, very funny. But no even better. I won that radio contest. Emi we are going to Meet One Direction!" She jumps up and down. I think she got more excited than me. Her pink hair bounced up and down and i pulled her in the house as i heard Lexi upstairs yelling for me to give her a makeover!'  Me and emi go upstairs to She talks on and on about Zayn. We both loved all of them to death but Zayn was Emi's favorite and Harry was mine. While i curled Lexi's hair, Emi explained how she wanted to touch Zayn's quiff and ask him if she can have his Varsity jacket. Than she started talking about kissed him. "Ew!" Lexi say's, Me and Emi laugh. "Okay your all done, your Majesty" i say to Lexi Letting her down. She looked in the mirror "I'm a Princess! Yay!" She said twirling around in her sparkly purple dress. "Wait a minute" Emi say's going to my closet she pulls out a tiara of mine from when i was little and place's it on Lexi's head. "Now you are a princess!" Lexi laughs and smiles. At that moment my mom walks in "What are you girls doing?" she says. "Mommy I'm a princess!" Lexi says running out of the door. My mom laughs and follows her. Me and Emi walk downstairs. "Mom we're going to the mall! bye love you!" I say when we walk out. We get into Emi's pink and black convertible she had gotten for her birthday. I text ed Skyler for Emi in the car. I told her to bring Brooke to the mall. That she need to tell them something. When we got there. Skyler and Brooke were sitting in the food court drinking Strawberry-peach smoothies. Yum. " So Emi why did you bring us here!" Skyler said looked annoyed. Not like she anything better to do, from the looks of it. It seemed as if she was already at the mall. "Well i told you about that contest, for V.I.P. tickets. And you remember how we laughed about how silly it was to even try. Well we we're wrong Rissa actually one!" Emi explained. I saw Brooke's mouth open wide and she dropped her half empty smoothie on the floor. I could'nt help but laugh. " No she didn't your lying! " Skyler accuses us. "fine we can take someone else!" Emi say's turning around. Skyler get's up while Brooke looks at her spilled smoothie on the ground. I watched her as she freaked out over it. It was very amusing. "Okay! I believe, Well we must buy some perfect outfits for the Concert!" sky gets all excited. Brooke grunts and finally gets up. I laugh harder. They all look at me, I smile awkwardly. We go into many stores. Such as Pac-Sun, Forever 21,Wet seal, papaya, and more. I settled with a black lace and floral print tight fitting dress. It was little short but what the heck it was gorgeous. I bought some Pretty black lace heels to go with it. Emi had bought white short shorts and a crop top with the London flag on it. How original. Ha. She bought similar heels to mine but her's were not lace. Skyler had bought a pink short dress that look fantastic on her and silver sparkly heels. Brooke kept it simple with a cut tank top, short shorts and Toms. Even when we were in heels and she was in Toms she was still taller than us. or at least as tall as us. shows how short we are.  On our way out of the Mall i stop them all. "Oh wait guys. There's one more thing i need to tell you. The concert is in New York!" They all turn around. "Rissa. We don't live in New york!" They all yell at me but not loudly. "road trip? " I say shrugging.
