I woke up wanting to crawl back in bed. It was the first day of school. Slowly, I made my way over to my closet. In a zombie like motion I slipped into the bathroom. I turned on the shower and was devastated when I had to get dressed. I slipped on skinny jeans, a sweatshirt, and a pair of Toms. Thankfully I packed all my school supplies last night. I grabbed my backpack and trudged to the door. I opened the door to find Shelby sitting in the car. I opened the door and sat in the passenger side.

"Alright I will pick you up after school." Shelby said

"Remind me again, why don't you go to school?" I asked

"I am 19. I graduated last year Ally!"

Oh I had completely forgotten that. Mornings and I don't mix well.

"Nice sweatshirt." she said motioning to my choice of shirt

Oh god. I grabbed my One Direction shirt. I am going to get made fun of for years. I went to grab the car door handle to open the door, but the car started to move.

"Shelby!" I screamed

"What?!" she screamed back

"I am going to make a fool of myself! My school is made of judgmental freaks who obviously drink hateraid everyday. Do you know what they will say to me?!" I yelled

"Do you honestly care what they say to you? Ally, if they can't accept what and who you like, they can't accept you. You just need to ignore them."

"Fine." I hugged

"After school how about we go to the beach?" Shelby said nudging my arm

"Ok. Is Trevor coming?" I asked as Trevor is Shelby's boyfriend.

"No. It will just be a girls day."

I smiled widely, I haven't had a girls day in forever. This whole summer Shelby has been out with Trevor. I hardly saw her during the day.

"Well we are here.". Shelby said as she slammed on her breaks

"Graceful." I said in a sarcastic tone

"Have a great day!" She said whilst rolling her eyes at my previous comment

"Thanks." I said while smiling.

On my way into the school a bunch of girls said my shirt was perfect for today. I was confused on what they meant by that, so I just shrugged it off. I looked at my schedule.

Algebra

History

Chemistry

Gym

Great. I hate all of those classes. Like Algebra, when will I use x^2-6=27 in real life? History they are dead, chemistry, I see that enough with happy couples, and gym let me work out on my own time. I walked into my first class... Algebra (cue horror music). As I sat in my seat the principal walked into our classroom and whispered something in the teachers ear.

"Everyone please head into the gym." out teacher said in a monotone voice

I got up and walked into the hallway, it was filled with students. Many girls were running and pushing. I stayed behind. Everyone was in the gym, while I was at the drinking fountain. I pushed my hair to the side and got a drink.

"Ok come on guys." I heard someone say.

I turned my head in the direction of the voice but saw no one. I sat down on the wall and got on my phone.

"Nice shirt." I heard someone say. I didn't look up. I continued tapping away on my phone. After I was finished with my important phone business (Flappy Bird) I walked into the gym. A stage was set up. Strange. I squeezed in the front row, only to be yelled at by multiple girls. Our principle walked on the stage. He tapped a microphone he was holding, signaling for us to quiet down.

"Last year, one specific band was holding a contest for the school with the best grades on a state test. Well our school won. Now many of you girls have known about this for awhile. I don't know how, but without any further distraction, ladies and gentlemen, ONE DIRECTION." He said screaming the last part which was highly uncalled for since he had a microphone, and wait what?!?!? ONE DIRECTION?!?

The gym exploded in screams as the lights went out causing more screams. When the lights kicked back on, there on the stage less than 5 feet in front of me stood Harry, Liam, Niall, Louis, and Zayn. Girl were trying to push me out of the way, but I didn't budge. I stood gaping. One Direction are here at my school. A familiar tune began to play. Midnight Memories. I began singing along. I wasn't screaming like those other girls. They are just 5 normal, incredibly attractive, funny, sweet, smart, good singing boys. Does that make them boys or super humans? No, they are normal. I wouldn't treat them any different.

The boys did half of the songs off their new album and ended with What Makes You Beautiful. At the end the gym was filled with even more screams. My principal walked back on stage.

"The boys are now willing to meet some of you. If you got an A on the test last year you can meet them since you are the reasons they are hear. Very few of you did, so classes will be resumed after this."

He began reading a list of names. I had very little faith that I got a C- let alone an A.

"Alison Lee? Are you here?" I heard the principal say snapping me out of my thoughts. I walked up the stage and stood next to the other students. The gym was packed full, and I began to feel very shy. I took my blonde hair and put it down into its curly self. What? If I'm going to be in front of a bunch of people I need to look ok?
