The Lucky One

Ch. 5 Best Friends

Mikayla's P.O.V.

I waited patiently with pen and paper in hand as Mark gave me the details about the tickets I won. "Do you got that?"

"Yep. Thank you so much!" I said. "Its no problem! Have fun at the concert!" Mark said.

"Thanks again, bye." I hung up and looked to my best friend, "Ahhhhhhhhh!!!" we both screamed at each other. "Did that seriously just happen?!!" I asked Laura.

"I wouldn't believe it either if I didn't hear it and see it with my own eyes. Congratulations girl!" Laura said as she gave me a tight hug.

"I can't believe I actually talked to them! And I will be meeting them and going to their concert!"

"I know! You'll have to take tons of pictures for me, maybe even one of Harry for me?" Laura said with a giggle.

"What do you mean? The DJ said I won TWO tickets and M&G to see the boys live. Obviously I'm taking you with." I said, confused since I told Liam I was taking her. Plus, why would I go without her?

"Woah! Wait! You won TWO tickets and M&G!! And Your taking me!!?" She squealed.

"Yes Laura you're my best friend. Why wouldn't I take you. My Dad would mope the whole time if I brought him, and if my Mom went with me I wouldn't have as much fun. Plus she would probably end up embarrassing me in front of the boys."

I said the last part with a giggle and Laura joined in too. "Yeah your right. Oh this is going to be so much fun! And I can drive us there! Oooh and we need to make sure we look cute for the boys. Oh my gosh! What are we going to wear!?" Laura said in one quick breath.

"Laura calm down," I said as I grabbed her shoulders. "We'll figure it out. The concert is not until the 21st. We have a month."

"Your right," she said panting. Then inhaling a big breath, "We have plenty of time. But I just can't wait!!" she started to freak out again.

"I know!! And now we will finally get to meet them!!" I squealed. "Yeah! And you will finally get to tell Niall your his Princess." Laura said as she wiggled her eyebrows in amusement.

"Ha ha. Very funny, no that will be the last thing I do. I don't want the boys to think I'm a weird phsyco, and be like the other girls that say 'We're gonna get married'." I added the air quotes for emphasis. "Especially Niall." I added.

"Ok fine!" Laura said as she raised her arms in the air. "Sue me. I'm sorry I want my best friend to finally be happy and realize she is a Princess. And I'm sorry I thought you and Niall would be cute together."

Great now Laura was getting all sappy with me. But what she said was really sweet. I do want to be Niall's Princess, but I can't be all forward. One thats not me, I'm extremely shy. And two, that will just make him think I'm like everyone else, and he will push me away.

Hopefully when I meet them in person I will be able to be myself with them like I did on the phone. They all seemed to like me then. Well, except Niall was acting strange, but maybe he was having a bad day or something.

I just giggled at Laura and shook my head and tried to change the subject, "What about you? Now you can tell Harry about your undying love for him." I said with a giggle.

Laura just smiled at me "That's right! I'm gonna make sure that by the end of the concert we are dating or I at least have his number."

"And how do you plan on doing that?" I challenged.

"Simple. I just got to get him to open up to me, be myself around him. And a little flirting never hurt." Laura said with a wink, and I giggled.

"I'm sure he will have your undivided attention, because of how beautiful you are." It was true, Laura looked like a movie star. She has a flawless complexion, and long beautiful curly blond hair.

"Awww, thanks girl. That means a lot. And I'm sure the same thing will happen with you and Niall. Especially if you made some of your grandma's homemade chocolate chip cookies for him, I bet he would be ready to walk you down the isle that minute."

I had to laugh at that, though I must say that my baking skills really are something. But, I did learn from the best, my grandma. "Aww thanks Laura. And I don't know if I'll do that, although I could see Niall reacting that way."

"See! Thats the spirit! I honestly don't know why any of the guys at our school has tried to date you. Oh, wait I know, because their stupid." I laughed at that.

"Thanks Laura, but you know I'm not the prettiest person at our school..."

"Mikayla, stop. You know I hate it when you sell yourself short. You are just as beautiful as me if not more. Not to mention you are one of the nicest, sweetest, down to earth people I know. You are beautiful inside and out. And if those idiot guys at our school can't see that, its their loss. They are missing out on a great girl."

I felt like I was gonna cry, this is why I am best friends with Laura. "Now I want you to quit thinking like that and be happy. Right now you are the luckiest girl in the world. You won tickets to SEE and MEET One Direction, and they are gonna love you."

"You really think so Laura?" I sniffled as I wiped a few tears that managed to escape. "Yes Mikayla, I know so."

"Hey Laura..."

"Yeah, Mikayla."

"Your the best friend a girl could ever have. And I don't know what I would do without you." As soon as the words left my mouth I saw Laura smile.

"Me too. And hey. What are best friends for?" she said as we hugged.
