Shake it Out

Chapter 2- Sleeping and Shrieking

Louis’s POV

May 26, 2010

“Haz….. Haz, it’s time to wake up. Harry!!!” I shook Harry.

“Nmmmmmm,” Harry mumbled.

“You aren’t a morning person, are you?”

“Nnnnnppp,” Harry mumbled again.

I ran into the bathroom and grabbed a glass. I filled it with cold water. I smirked as I walked towards Harry.

“I’ll give you to the count of three. One….” He didn’t move

“Two….”

“Three!” I poured it over his head.

“MAN!!! What was that for!?!?!” Harry wiped his eyes.

“You weren’t waking up,” I smiled.

“Well… next time you could shake me,” Harry said.

“Yeah… I did that.”

“Weird… it usually works.”

“Mmmmhm.”

“Well, now I’m up… I’ll meet you down in the lobby in about… 20 minutes…” Harry sighed.

“See ya, Haz,” I walked out of the hotel room, and gently knocked on the other boys’ door.

Niall, Liam, and Zayn stepped out, all ready to go. I knocked on Eleanor’s door. She walked out, looking beautiful, as always.

“Where’s Harry?” El asked.

“I actually managed to get him out of bed within 10 minutes…” I laughed to myself.

“Cold water?” Zayn asked.

“You bet,” I laughed again.

~20 minutes later~

“I’ll just have everyth- the pancakes,” Niall handed in his menu.

“So… big night tonight,” Liam said.

“Yep. I’m excited to be singing in NYC!” Harry smiled.

“So am I. I heard there are some pretty crazy fans here,” Zayn chuckled.

We ate breakfast and then went back upstairs. The rest of the day we just basically rehearsed and fooled around backstage. Harry was fidgeting backstage.

“Is something wrong, Haz?” I put my hand on his shoulder.

“You know how I get nervous before performing. With all this stress being the vocal lead… It’s just… Nevermind. I’m sure I can live. Well, Lou… ready?” Harry looked at the ground.

“Well, I’m always here for you, Harry,” we hugged and then smiled.

“Showtime,” Harry and I said together.

Tyra’s POV

May 24, 2012

“Okay. What’s this ‘exciting news’?” I asked Andi.

“See there’s this contest,”

“Yes…”

“and it’s about…”

“What?”

“You, me, and three other ‘lucky callers’ are going to enter a

contest when it starts at noon. If we win, we get five tickets to a One Direction concert. And personally meet them backstage!!!” Andi squealed.

“Really? Oh my gosh, A, that’s amazing!!! But what are the chances of us winning? And a lot of girls in this school don’t even like them.” I notified.

“True. But there are a lot of people in our class. Maybe we can find some girls. I think Harmony and Braylynn like them.”

“Do they even hang out anymore? And that just leaves us with four.”

“Like I said, it’s at noon. We have time to find one more person. This contest was only mentioned last night… so maybe not that many people know.”

“Maybe a boy could come too, you know.” I said.

“Ty, let’s be real. What guy likes One Direction, unless they’re gay. And come on, why would we take a gay guy? I don’t want to draw attention to myself.”

“Andi, you know that my older brother is gay, right? Fine, we don’t have to take a boy. I was just suggesting. But no, homophobic Andi just has to come out of the covers.”

“Ty, you know I’m not homophobic. You know I support them 100%. It’s just… you know what happens to people if they hang around them in this school… Girls get called lezbos, and I am in fact, 100% straight.”

“Umm… How about we change the subject? Okay… Well, I’ll try to find someone. So will you. See you in Chemistry.” I walked away.

Braylynn’s POV

“So, how are we going to get back at her?” I asked Harmony.

“At lunch, we are going to publicly humiliate her. Even though I don’t like fighting fire with fire, I believe that someone has to get burned. It ain’t me. What goes around, comes around.” Harmony smirked.

“Yeah, but what’s the plan?”

“You know how my dad is a doctor, right? Well, he has this pill that makes you throw up at least 5 minutes after it is in your stomach. We are going to have to get one from the nurse’s office. You anyways. I’m going to slip it into her food. You get the easy job.” Harmony said.

“Wow, um… That is pretty embarrassing. And sneaking into the nurses office to steal something isn’t exactly easy,” I put my hands on my hips.

“Harmony, Braylynn, do you guys like One Direction?” Andi walked over to us.

“YES!!!” Harmony shrieked.

“Definitely!!!” I smiled.

“Well, how about you guys, me, Tyra, and some other girl all enter this contest to be able to get five tickets to their concert this Saturday and meet them personally?” Andi smirked.

“…YEEESSSS!!!!” Harmony and I belted.

“Well, meet us in the courtyard at noon!!!” Andi walked off.

“Oh… My… God,” I muttered.

“Well, anyways, you better get going now, Bray,” Harmony chuckled.

“You are so going to pay, Chartier.” I threatened.

A/N: Okay, first of all… I am so sorry it took a few days to update. My computer crashed and I have been having trouble doing it on my iPhone.

I know the chapters are pretty short… but I will try to make them longer as we go.

Well, I hope you guys liked it. I’ll try to update more frequently, too.
