Finally! I was going to be sixteen today. I got out of bed and went to my window. I opened the curtains and looked out over the foggy landscape.

"Liah!"mum yelled from downstairs."Come quickly!"

I ran downstairs quickly shuddering against the cool air of the home. I guess it made sense because I was wearing a tank top and running shorts. Nevermind that. "What mum?"

"Your favorite band is going to be back here in town in a few days. One Direction is it?"she said not looking up from making breakfast.

"Yes, the most smashing band ever! They're coming back to London!? That's incredible! Are they going to do a concert? Can I go if they are!?" I was very excited about this. One Direction. The famous British Irish boy-band, made on the X-Factor, preformed on the Olympics. Yeah the same band. And they're coming back home! Well where they live currently while they aren't touring anyway.

"Yes, they're coming back. And I'll have to see how much they cost." She glanced up at me. "Liah dear are you alright?" I guss I was smiling insanely.

"Yes mum I'm fine. Can I go to the signing if there's one?" I asked sitting down on the counter.

"Liah, off."she told me sternly. I laughed and hopped down.

"I'm sixteen today mum! sixteen!"

"Yes you are dear. But you still have to listen to me."

"Yes, yes I understand."I said."I'm going to get dressed." I had to go to school today sadly. And at this school you had to wear uniforms. The uniform was a red plaid skirt and a white blouse and a red plaid tie. You had to wear either flats, or mary-janes, or they most of the time let you get away with wearing converse as long as they didn't look like rubbish.

I darted back upstairs and turned on my iPod player and started playing the Up All Night album. I pulled my uniform clothes out of my closet and got dressed. Then I brushed my hair and put on my infinity ring. I really wasn't that hungry and we had lunch early in the day so I decided to skip breakfast and brush my teeth. I grabbed my book sack and went back downstairs. I put on my black converse hi-tops smiling as I did. sixteen! I couldn't believe it.

"Mum I'm ready!"I called standing by the door. I walked to school with my best friend every day.

"Aren't you going to eat?"she asked. I shook my head. She rolled her eyes and sighed."Liah you're going to starve yourself. Your brain needs nutrients."

"Yes yes, but I'm not hungry."I said then realized I didn't have my notebook. My writing notebook to be specific. It was this enormus notebook that I was writing a book in. Or trying to anyway."Mum were's my notebook?"

"Not sure. Isn't in in your school bag?" I shook my head. It was probably in my locker at school. Then I remembered not bringing it home yesterday. Today was Friday so I had to bring it. The weekends were boring. I don't have siblings and it's just me and mum. She worked very hard to keep our little house. It was nice. Small but nice. I had a rather spacey room upstairs along with a bathroom and that was it for the upststairs of the house. Downstairs was the den, kitchen, and mum's room along with another small bathroom.

"I left it at school." I muttered. I saw Alex walk past my house and stop by the walk. She saw me through the window and waved at me. "Bye mum!"I said and ran out the door, my blonde curls bouncing on my shoulders as I ran down the walk to meet her.

"Hey guess what Alex!?"I said excitedly.

"What?"she said looking at me. "Oh and happy birthday!"

"Thanks!"I said."And......One Direction is coming back to London!" I jumpd up and down excitedly.

"Calm down Liah. It's just a band. And yes I knew they were coming."Alex said laughing at me.

Alex and I looked completely different. I had blonde curly hair and dark sapphire blue and grey eyes. Alex on the other hand looked like she should be in a British punk band. She has cherry red coloured hair and almost golden eyes. She's really pretty. I looked so innocent compared to her. I liked it and didn't because people wouldn't expect someone who looks like me to do some things I do. Nothing overly bad though. And others treat me like I'm twelve. Oh well.

"Well, stop your fangirling for one second," Alex said laughing as I was still coming down from my One Direction high. "I want to suprise you." I raised my eyebrow at her in suspicion. "I know something about them that you don't know," she said with a smirk.

"Alex love, do you know who I am?" We both laughed and walked into the courtyard of our school. I was wondering what she knew, though.

"How could you Alex of all people know they were coming! You don't even like them!"
