☆I open the door to Liams office. We have a meeting, but I had to go to the toilet right before we had to go down, so I told Mike to go without me and that I'd be there in a few minutes.
All the eyes in the room stare at me. Niall is the only one who isn't there. Mike, Day, Emely, Harry, Louis, Zayn and Liam are all sitting on stairs, scattered around the room, in fact, Liam is the only one actually sitting at the table.
I sit down on a chair against the wall, next to Mike. "Hey."
"Hi Alex. We were just talking about songs we want to perform. I think we should definitely go more punk-like. You really rocked that, and we want to teach Day guitar to fit more in that image."
I nod. "You mean like early 5sos right?" Emely asks.
"Yes, kind of like that. I think that's something that really fits you right now. Just, kicking back against the stereotypical bands and manners. Don't be as classy and normal. That's the way we slightly choose when we choose to play O.D.D. and we should definitely continue going further in there."
"Sounds good. I like 5sos so should be fine with me." Mike smiles.
"As for guest artist, who do we want?"
"Okay I think Panic! At the disco could be something?" Day suggests, "They're a band as well, and a little punk-like. Plus, they're lgbtq, like us."
"Isn't that just Brendan?" Emely bends forward in her chair to properly look at Day.
"I don't really know, I don't know them that well." Day shrugs. "Honestly, I've pretty much only heard a few songs and saw that picture of them performing with Hayley Kiyoko. She's lesbian jesus so..." Day drags out the last word, shrugging while doing so.
"Sounds pretty good." Liam says. He writes it down.
"I got a phone number, I'll shoot them a message." Harry grabs his phone out.
"Oh shit." I mumble. The iPhone 11 is one I only saw in commercials. I don't have the money to buy one, and Mike just got a new Samsung.
Appearently I said that louder than I expected trough, because the entire room is looking at me. "What?" I ask.
"A phone isn't that shocking." Louis says.
"I have a iPhone 4 second-hand with a broken screen because we actually didn't have money for a phone but my mom refused to let me go to high school without something to contact her. So, it kind of is when it's one like that for me."
"You were that poor?" Zayn looks at me.
I just nod, kind of ashamed. Everyone here is rich, expect for Day, but she's middle-class with quite a lot of spare money.
"Sounds like my youth, expect I didn't have a phone at all." Zayn looks at the other boys. "You had that too right?"
"Yep. All of us did. Then the X factor happened. Then One Direction happened. Now we're here, and I'm sure that'll happen to you too." Louis smiles.
"Okay, back to business. We have some stuff to prepare. What song are you going to perform?" Liam taps with his pen on the papers. "I made a list... where did I put it?" He raises a few papers and shoves some stuff around. "Here... I was thinking, maybe Maroon 5 with Sugar?"
