Authors Note: Okay so I have nothing else to do today so here is an update!  I am really excited and bumbed because me and my friend know where hidden 1D tickets are for this contest but we need a parent to drive us to the location and no one can so I was excited but now need to update to get it off my mind.    Anyways this chapter is dedicated to a very good friend of mine!  She was the first to comment last chapter so she gets dedication!

I woke up to my alarm and instead of some crazy loud annoying beeper I had set the alarm on my ipod to be the theme song from We Bought A Zoo.  The theme from that movie was perfect to wake up to.  Today was the day.  It was the party day.  I got out of bed and rubbed my eyes heading straight for the bathroom.  I got right in and took a 15 minute shower.   I blow dried my hair and left it as it's usually beach wavy self.  I had no one to impress today.

I swear I have no cute casual clothes it's all yoga pants  and old sport shirts from events and what not.  I just threw on a pair of jean shorts and a old homecoming game shirt from two years ago.  I pulled my hair into a pony, hoping it did not look horrible, and a slathered on some lip gloss.

My mom was downstairs in the kitchen dressed in a green spring dress and making french toast.

"Mom do you really think Irish peps are going to appreciate you wearing green?"  I asked.

"Shelby, they love green!  I promise you I won't be alone with the green theme." She replied.

"Whatever mom."  I grabbed two slices of french toast, and put a whole lotta peanut butter and powdered sugar on them.

Marla came down from upstairs looking like she had just endured the worlds biggest electrical shock to a person.  Her hair looked like Albert Einsteins!   I hope I never have to see her like this again.

"Wow, Mars what happened to you?"  I asked totally curious to find out.

"I could not sleep last night.  Someone was playing One Directions album over and over.  I kept rolling over and twisting in my bed.  I can now sing what Makes You Beautiful by heart!"

"Pretty catching song ain't it Mars."  I said with a playful grin on my face.

She just smiled and got her own french toast.  I finished my french toast and went to check my phone for missed messages.  I had three all from my friend Leighton.

Can't going to a party with my mom for some person I don't know

Just then at the worst possible time my mom called me to the car.  Here we come crazy casserole cat dying lady.

The ride was about half hour and I was bored out of my mind.  Whenever I saw a yellow car I said "Yellow one." and lightly punched my own arm.  If that says nothing I don't know what does.  My mom  pulled up into the drive way of Kerry's house it was big and very expensive was my guess.  I had been on her walk before, but never IN her house.  Rental cars lined her drive and street.  I could hear music coming from the house and laughter.  Irish accents could be heard from the whole house.  Kids were running around and making it real hard to stay together with my mom.

Inside the house was packed, but my mom was on a mission to find Kerry.  I also took in note my mom was the only person in all green.  How embarrassing.  Kerry was talking with a group of about six people all of whom we were introduced to.   Kerry had a dang large family it was almost painful to see a house so packed.  I slowly drifted away from my mom and to the back of the house.  The guests had slowly parted and not many were in the back.  Two double doors were closed at the farthest end of the house and not many people were around.  So I opened the one and came out onto this porch in the back of Kerry's house.  My god it was beautiful.  I could see straight into the garden and it was lovely.  A big fountain was in the middle and plants, shrubs, trees, flowers were everywhere.  I walked around just looking.  I even saw a couple of hummingbirds and butterflies.  Would this garden ever end?

I found a bench in this small section of the garden and sat down pulling my i-pod from my jean shorts  pocket.  I picked my favorite song One Thing by 1D and just laid back relaxing.  I watched some youtube videos on my i-pod using the wifi from Kerry's house.  I had to guess her password, but when it's 1 2 3 4 it's not that hard.

A half hour must have gone by, before I heard someone walking up behind me.  I did not have a chance to look behind me before they sat down right next to me.  I did not look at their face, I just sat and stared at my i-pod. I could tell it was a guy considering he was wearing white high-tops and gray washed jeans.  Not to mention the fact he sounded like one when he talked to me...

"Beautiful garden ain't it?"  He said with a thick Irish accent.  Deffinitely someone who was visiting from Europe.

"Yes."  I replied still not looking at his face and not really caring at this point who he was.

"You having fun?"  He asked.

"Yeah, but not in there out here."  I replied.

"I agree with you.  That party was a lot to take in.  My parents are happy to be here, but I really had no desire to come.  I had a lot going on before we made these plans."  He said.

It was good to know I was not the only one completely and utterly bored with a bunch of grownups talking about whatever.

"How did you know this garden was back here?"  I asked.

"I was just kinda searching around.  I guess my aunt really wouldn't mind."  He replied with a laugh in his voice.

"Me too."

"What are you listening to?"  He asked obviously he noticed my i-pod and headphones.

I was almost embarrassed to admit to this guy I was listening to the hottest boy band in the whole world.

"One Thing by One Direction."  I said.

He just started slowly laughing to himself and then just started laughing.

"Whats wrong with One Direction!"  I protested looking up at the guy.  He had stopped laughing, and my mouth was in a perfect "O" shape.  I was looking at one of the best people in the entire world.   "Oh my gosh!  You..your...Niall Horan!"
