I let out a sigh of relief when the lecture ended. Mr.Tomlinson had been looking at me throughout the lecture, I won't deny that I didn't like his attention but I knew I was in some serious shit judging the way Zayn was smirking at me.
Just as we are about to leave, Mrs.Hill enters the hall "settle down everyone, I have some news. I am well aware of the fact that a lot of you here are participating in today's little musical Fiesta"
"What's happening?" Mr.Tomlinson questioned but she completely ignored him.
"now this might be quite the challenge for you tonight night because I'm not the only one on the judging panel now."
I look around to see a few students look fearful and felt my anxiety rising.
"some of the council members have heard about my challenge and have requested to join in, so if you are thinking of pulling up a nonsense act, I request you to step down before it's too late. The consequences of your foolishness might be harsh and the Department of music might be shut down" she looks around the whole hall as if scanning each one of us. "that's all I had to say" and with that, she turns on her heels and leaves us all in a whammy.
I was already nervous and now I feel like I'm about to shit my pants. Council members! My head feels light at the thought of performing in front old those grumpy old men and women.
Zayn keeps a comforting hand on my back and guides me to the door where Mr.Tomlinson is already standing.
"Are you in the music hour Mr.Styles?"
How does he know?
"I recall reading it in your student records"
Oh, that's how!
I look over to Zayn and he gets the sign
"he is" zayn answers to which Mr.Tomlinson raises an eyebrow
"he's very easily agitated when it comes to his singing even though he's absolutely wonderful" zayn explains
"Well you can expect me to be there and I'm confident that you will do great" he smiles kindly which we both return and leave the hall.
Calculus and biology hours with Liam went by like a whirlwind and soon we were all sitting in the cafeteria.
"You ready mate?" Niall says sitting beside me.
"Yeah" I breath out.
"Harry, it's going to be fine. I'm sure you and Niall have practised enough to not screw up" Liam comforts kindly.
"We'll be there too haz and can you please tell me the song so I can brace myself" zayn pleads
"Yeah I want to know too"
"Shut it, Liam. I know, you already knew the song. A week into out budding friendship and you've already given me a Judas kiss"
"I'm sorry Zayn, the boys threatened me"
"Yeah yeah"
"Oh please, would you forgive me?"
Zayn quints his eyes "only if you buy me food"
"Okay!"
"Bring it in payno!" And the three boys chuckle

"Harry you won't mess up I've heard you sing and I can't explain how fucking good you trust me these people are in for a real treat" Niall voices in his thick Irish accent
"Thanks, Niall"
"You guys have 30 more minutes we can head to the hall and help you guys set up and stuff Liam offers and we all trot to the music hall"
We reach there to find some of the students helping set up the sitting arrangements and Mr.Hill pacing around
20 minutes later we successfully arrange everything to our accordance and Mr.Hill comes over to us "you guys seem to be a promising act don't let me down"
And with that, she takes Liam and Zayn with her to the chairs set for the spectators.
Another 10 minutes pass and I could see the seats filling rapidity with council members sat directly across the stage in the centre.
I glance around the hall and Mr.Tomlinson sat next to Zayn and Liam towards the back of the hall. He catches my eyes and flashes me a giant smile. I return his smile and turn to Niall "Holy shit Niall! He's here!"
"Who?"
"Mr.Tomlinson!"
"What? Really? Where?''
"He's out there sitting with the boys! Niall, what do I do?"
"You stay calm and just-"
"Just?"
"Be you! The charming cheeky lad I know you are. He's obviously here to see you harry"
"But what if I mess up"
"You won't. Now breath"
I do as Niall says and we both wait for our chance to perform. Turns out Mrs.Hill was really counting ous and had put us as the last act.
Most of the students were absolute rubbish and were made to leave the stage 30 seconds into their act which made everything quite quickly.
I see Perrie and her friends- Jesy, Jade and Leigh-Anne walk onto the stage. The girls were all dressed beautifully and I've always appreciated their fashion sense.
The entire hall went tranquil and Jessy began to sing. I noticed that there were no instruments and girls were all harmonising flawlessly together.
And you got me, let go
What you want from me?
And I tried to buy your pretty heart, but the price too high
Baby, you got me like oh
You love when I fall apart
So you can put me together
And throw me against the wall"
Baby, you got me like ah, woo, ah
Don't you stop loving me (loving me)
Don't quit loving me (loving me)
Just start loving me (loving me)
Oh, and baby I'm fist fighting with fire
Just to get close to you
Can we burn something, babe?
And I run for miles just to get a taste
Must be love on the brain
That's got me feeling this way
It beats me black and blue but it fucks me so good
And I can't get enough
Must be love on the brain yeah
And it keeps cursing my name
No matter what I do, I'm no good without you
And I can't get enough
Must be love on the brain
I stare in amazement at how beautiful these girl sound. I look over at Zayn who has his jaw dropped watching Perrie carry the chorus heavenly.
The group finish their acoustic piece and recompensed with applause. They all bow down to the audience and leave the stage.
Taking a deep breath I cerebrate to my minute on the stage ahead.
