I lazily click the answer button on my cell phone. It’s probably just someone selling something. Normally, I would just hand up, but this time I decide to listen.

“Hello?” I say.

“Is this Shelby Shaleco?” The person asks. It’s a deep voice; must be a man. The voice has a weird accent, and it takes me a minute to realize it’s an english accent. 

“Yes, may I ask who this is?” I say.

“This is Paul, One Direction’s manager. I’m pleased to tell you you won a date with one boy from One Direction!” He says.

A huge grin flies across my face and my hands fly to my mouth, dropping the phone in the process.

“OH MY GAWD!” I scream. Then I hastily pick up my cell phone. “Sorry.” I say using a normal voice, trying to contain my excitement.

“Shall I tell you which boy, or do you want it to be a surprise?”

“Oh, um, a surprise!” I say happily.

“Ok, the boy will pick you up tonight at 7pm. Bye.” Then he hangs up.

I squeal and call my best friend. We fan girl for half an hour and then I have to get ready!

I spend a ton of time getting ready. Well, a ton of time for me that it. I’m a bit of a tomboy and don’t spend much time worrying about my looks. But tonight I do worry. What if the boy doesn’t like me? Oh, I hope it’s Liam. I have a major crush on Liam, he’s my favourite. Sure, I’ll be thrilled with any boy, but if I could pick, I’d pick Liam. I put on a light blue dress and some sandals. I brush my hair, and take a few bobby pins to pin back my bangs. I hope he thinks I’m pretty. Please let him like me!

I look out my window and see a limo pull up. I screech, run downstairs and wait for the doorbell to ring. When it does, I count to three because I don’t want to seem too eager, then open the door. In front of me, is the boy who’s picture is pasted all over my bedroom walls. It’s Liam freaking Payne.

“Hi, are you Shelby?” He asks. The way he says my name is so hot! He has a little smile playing on his lips. I gape at him, then blink, realizing I have to answer.

“Y-Yes.” I stutter. 

Suddenly my Dad is there. 

“Hello son, are you taking my daughter out tonight?” He asks, putting a hand out to shake Liam’s. Liam shakes happily. 

“Hello sir, I’m Liam. And yes, I was hoping to take Shelby out tonight.”

My Dad nods, “Take good care of her. Home by 10 o’clock.”

Liam’s face looks surprised.

“Dad!” I groan. “I’m 18, I’ll be home later than that!”

“What time?” Dad demands.

I look at Liam. He looks a bit nervous, “11?”

“If she’s a minute late you two won’t be going out again.” Dad says to Liam. Then he turns to me. “Have fun sweetie.”

“Bye Dad.”

I step outside and Liam and I walk down to the car. My Dad waves us off.

Once we are in the limo I turn, embarrassed, to Liam. “Sorry.” I mumble.

He laughs, “it’s ok! So tell me about yourself.” 

“Um, I’m 18, I’m down to earth, I like to laugh, I’m a bit of a tomboy, and I won’t have a problem if you crack a few guy jokes.”

He grins, “Cool!”

We talk the whole way to the fancy restaurant, and pretty soon, I’m perfectly comfortable with Liam. This night is perfect!
