Boy Bands vs. Girl Groups (A One Direction Fanfiction)

2: It's Not Your Birthday, Zayn

We all calmed down pretty quickly, and I told everyone what each of my songs meant. I told them the meaning, the feeling of it, and the story behind it.

"I think you should show people this," Louis suggested.

"What? You mean to the fans?" I asked.

"Yes!" everyone said.

"I don't know. Besides, even if they do like it, they'll probably only like it because I wrote it. THE Mckenna Malik wrote it. I won't get an honest opinion, it'll just be opinions from people who don't want me to feel bad," I ranted.

Zayn sighed and said, "Okay, I'm not going to force you to do it, but promise me you'll think about it? Okay?" He really knew i wasn't into this, that's why he knew I wanted to drop the subject. We knew each other almost TOO well.

"I promise," I said, sincerity clear in my voice.

"Alright, now, what song were you thinking about doing?" Zayn asked.

"You just want to know so that you can do a cover before we can. Only you won't do a music video, just sing it on stage," I said, sticking my tongue out at him.

"Please?" he asked, trying to do puppy dog eyes.

"Okay, 1) you know those," I pointed to his eyes, "don't work on me. 2) You are SO not getting it out of me that easily," I said while pulling my phone out of my pocket. I quickly texted Vanny and Kristy to tell them to make up an excuse, so that we can go ahead and shoot the video, and I sent one to Ally to make her "invite" me to her house, then text Matt and Erick to meet us at the park with their camera, so we could shoot the first part of our video. I decided we would go in our normal clothes to show the fans we are who we are, as Ke$ha says *Cue "We R Who We R"*, and we don't dress up for anything unless it's a formal event.

They soon got the texts and Vanny said that her mom needed her to come home to do her homework (Lies, it's the weekend, we don't have homework.) and Kristy pretended to look at her phone disgust and said her dad needed her to come home and watch her little brother. (More lies, Violet, her older sister, is home right now. I know because we all have each other's sister numbers in our phones. That's just how close we all are.) After they left, Ally quickly nodded her head to me to signal she sent Matt and Erick the message, and she "invited" me to her house.

"Sure," I said, standing up.

"Um, would it be okay if I leave you guys here for a couple hours?" I asked the guys cautiously.

"YEAH!" Niall and Louis shouted. Zayn looked to Liam and he said, "We'll watch them." I smiled and went outside with Ally. Vanny and Kristy were there waiting, so we all started walking.

"So, Matt and Erick on their way?" I asked Ally, making sure I wasn't wrong.

"Yep, they should be almost there, so we should get going," she said, which meant it was time for us to run. We started to laugh for no reason, and quickly got to the park in five short minutes. I saw the guys sitting on a bench, playing with some little kids. See, Matt and Erick are your usual guys, but they have self-respect. They love playing with little kids, but can also be cool and funny, and they don't care who judge them for that. We caught up to them right when the kids' parents called them over. They waved to the leaving kids and parents, so we dedcided to scare them. We tip-toed up to them while they got back into conversation, and then shouted "BOO!" while coming up from behind the bench. Of course, they screamed like little girls. We started to laugh, and they laughed along with us. See? They were really cool guys once you got to know them.

"Okay, you guys ready?" Matt asked.

"YEAH!" we shouted. I already gave them their parts, so we started going to our favorite place in the park to start. On our way there, Erick asked, "So, what song will the Running Dream be covering today?"
