The four of us have been friends for a few years. Devanie, Nikki, Samara, and me, Uche. The four best friends who are really big Directioners. Not the "Oh my god, get this chick away from me before I shank her with the carrots she keeps freaking out about" types. Because we all know those kinds of Directioners. We're the kind who tweet the boys to the point where no one follows us anymore, listen to their music more than we'd like to admit, and keep our fangirling to closed spaces to avoid pissing off people. You know, the respectable Directioners.
It all began when Nikki told us about the contest, and to be completely honest we weren't really expecting much when we entered it.
An all expense paid trip for 4 plus a chaperone to Sunrise, Florida to watch the boys in concert and also receive a shopping spree to Louise the clothing store who's hosting the contest? Please, too good to be true.
The trip would last four days. The first day for settling in, the second day for the shopping trip, the third day for soundcheck and the concert, and then the last day to say goodbye before we all left to go back home.
It all seemed a little too perfect when Nikki broke the news to us about it. She was just browsing around on Facebook when she stumbled upon it. The rules were to sign up for the contest by filling out your information on Louise's Facebook page. Once you did you got your name in the drawing to win. Though to better your chances you had to link your friends to the contest and when they signed up using your link you got another ticket in the drawing.
We put it off for a while thinking we had time until Devanie told us the contest would end in a few days
... Well.. shit.
We began linking our friends to it like our lives depended on it, and after a few days, we managed to get about 35 tickets into the drawing. The contest itself had been going on for about a month, and we had learned about it the last week. So it's safe to say we didn't expect much when it ended. People must have had hundreds of tickets already.
The winner was to get an email from Louise's head offices three days after the contest ended.
For three days the four of us stared at our phones in hope to get an email from Louise, and on the third day we all huddled up in Samara's room praying for the email. Finally the clock turned midnight. To our disappointment none of us received the email. The next morning we went to Louise's Facebook to see that the winner had been chosen. A Courtney Sheffields from Wyoming who had 284 tickets in the drawing... damn her.
A week passed after that, and we were slowly recovering from our loss. One day during lunch the four of us were standing in line to get food with a few other friends. I forget what the topic of discussion was, but Nikki was zoned out reading Tweets. Suddenly this loud, sound barrier breaking, shriek erupted from Nikki. I swear half of the school stared at her. She looked like she was about to pass out.
"Nikki, what the hell?" Devanie yelled "My poor ear!!" She said dramatically stroking her ear.
"You okay..? You look like you're going to be sick," Samara asked cautiously
Nikki said nothing. She just stared at her phone.
"What. Did Harry get a girlfriend?" I teased her
"Please, he hasn't met me yet. Just shut the hell up and read this!" she yelled shoving her phone in our faces.
Dear Nikki Kennedy,
Congratulations! Your ticket has been chosen for the One Direction contest! The previous winner had to drop out due to a few difficulties. You will receive an envelope from our company within the next few weeks containing your airplane tickets to the following address...
That's all we needed to read.
"You sure this isn't fake..?" Devanie asked
"Look at the email address! It's the same one from the Facebook page fool!!" Nikki yelled
"Oh.. Oh my.." Samara started
We all exploded in screams, jumping up and down, dancing, I think Samara even started crying.
"Yeaah.. we don't know them" our friend Sam announced moving forward in line unaware of what just happened.
The four of us hugged eachother tightly.
"This is destiny.. Now to plot how to get Harry to love me." Nikki smiled evilly
"When's the trip again?" I asked ignoring her comment
"June 29th to July 2nd if I'm not mistaken.." Devanie announced
"That's in like.. two months.." Samara informed us
"Don't care! We're meeting mother trucking One Direction!" I laughed
"I fucking love life right now.." Nikki sighed
"WE'RE MEETING ONE DIRECTION!!!" Samara screamed jumping up and down again.
We all resumed bouncing around screaming. The people at our school will never look at us the same way again. But do I care? Pff. No.
*~*~*~*~*
Two months passed by quickly, and before we knew it the four of us, and my mother, were at LAX with our suitcases and our tickets heading to our plane. Thus began our adventure with the boys of One Direction.
