     *Ring Ring*

    It was the day after my perfect date with Harry and my cell phone ringing was the first thing I heard when I woke up the next morning. I check the caller ID thinking it was Harry and feel a wave of dissapointment when I see that it's my dance studio.

     "Hello?" I say groggily.

     "Jeanette? This is Ms. Mary," why was the studio owner calling me? "Sorry for calling you so early but Samantha broke her foot and had to pull her solo in the Starbound competition next weekend and I was wondering if you were willing to help us out here. We're in a really tight spot here. Sam's mom already paid for the number and you and Sam are about the same size aren't you? You can wear her costume and I'll teach you the choreo tonight and we'll have private lessons throughout the week so you can perfect it. Of course it won't take long for you to master it because well, you're you. I'm a nervous wreck if you couldn't tell. I'm sorry to put you in this sudden position. The point is, will you do it?" Ms. Mary finished, sounding out of breath.

     "Of course, Ms. Mary. You know I'd never pass on a solo! What song is it?" I said with tons of excitement.

     "Wake Me Up by Ed Sheeran. It's a very advanced dance but you can do it. Listen, the kids are screaming again," Ms. Mary is the mom to 3 year old triplets in there terrible twos, "so I'm going to go. Meet me at the studio at say... 6:15? Does that work for you? Okay, great. Ciao ciao, kisses. Thank you again, Jeanette." and with that the phone clicks off.

     I send out a group text to Harry, Marissa and my mom to let them know the good news. Guess who has an Ed Sheeran solo at the Starbound competition this weekend? This girl! Guess who now has to freak out about competing 6 dances in the competition? Also this girl! 

     Marissa is the first to text back and tells me how jealous she is. My mom replies second and tells me that I'm going to do great as always and that she's very proud of me. When Harry doesn't reply I feel dumb. Why would a world famous popstar care about little old me's 3 minute solo compared to him and his band selling out stadiums. I'm feeling pretty defeated when my phone alerts me that an unknown number is calling me.

     "Hello? Who is this?" I say nervously. 

     "Hello? Is this Jeanette?" a man with a heavy Irish accent said into the phone. It could be Niall, but I really don't think so. This man's voice was too deep to be Nialls'.

     "Yes, this is Jeanette. Would you mind telling me who I'm speaking to?" I reply.

     "Okay, just making sure I had the right number. This is Ed Sheeran. Harry dialed me up and told me that you were very special to him and that you were performing a solo dance to one of my songs this weekend?" he- I mean Ed Sheeran said.

     "Y-y-es. I'm doing a solo to Wake Me Up this weekend." I said stuttering. I felt lightheaded for two reasons. Number one I was on the phone with Ed. Sheeran. The Ed Sheeran. And second of all, Harry had told Ed that I was very special to him. How cute.

     "Well, I just wanted to wish you luck. With your solo and with Harry! Kidding about the Harry bit, he's a good lad. Unfortunately, I can't make it to watch you dance but I'm sure you'll do amazing. I should go back to rehearsing now, but again, good luck Jeanette!" he said as I fangirled. Ed Sheeran was wishing me luck on my solo. I'd have to thank Harry later.

     "Thank you sooooo much, Mr. Sheeran. Have fun rehearsing." I said as he hung up. After screaming for about 5 minutes straight I called Harry himself. "Harry Styles, you've really outdone yourself haven't you? It means so much to me that you asked Ed to wish me luck."

     "No problem, love. I treat my lady very well. The boys and I plan on going to to the competition to see you dance. In disguise of course, as not to distract the audience from your beautiful dancing." Harry said. He's such a charmer. 

     "Thank you so much, Harry. It means a lot. All of it. Okay, let's stop being all mushy now. Ick, feelings. You're such a girl. I'm gonna go meet up with Marissa for some Starbucks. Text me?" I said.

     "Okay, okay. Go have some girly girl time and gossip about what an amazing kisser I am," he teases as I laugh, "I'll see you on Saturday at the competition? I'd meet up with you sometime this week but I'll be busy recording our new album in the studio and you'll be working your butt off on your dance so you can impress me."

     "Ha, ha, very funny. Goodbye, Harry." I say and then hang up the phone with a sigh. Pulling on a pair of jeans and a blue tanktop, I grab my purse and run off to meet Marissa at Starbucks. But as always, there was a certain curly haired boy running through my mind.

     A/N I finally found the perfect girls to play Marissa and Jeanette. Naya Rivera now will play Jeanette, and AnnaSophia Robb will play Marissa. There's a picture of 'Jeanette' in the sidebar. Comments, votes?? xx
