(Outfit is for the night out)

      It was a regular evening for myself and my friend Elle. Like usual I dragged her down to the local pub, where all the upcoming bands were set perform, trying to start their career. "Come on Elle!! We need to get there before it gets to busy" I laughed as I fast walked down the calm, cool street of new south whales, Australia.
"I'm coming y/n/n, I can only go so fast!" She laughed back, Trying to keep up with me. You see A few nights out of the week, we go down to the pub to try and find any bands with raw talent; in hopes one will allow me to manage them. That was my dream. All my seventeen year old self could think about was becoming one of the best band managers around, wanting to help some struggling band make it big. Tonight there's a couple bands scheduled to play at Alkines Pub, one I've had my eye on in particular and so of course we had to make our way down here. We rounded the corner, the pub coming into view. There was around ten or so people waiting to get in, Elle grew nervous as we made our way to the back of the line. "So what's the plan? Were never going to get in there" she sighed, out of breathe from trying to catch up to my fast legs.
"Don't say never Elle, now follow me and go along with whatever I say" I smirked as we passed by the glaring eyes of the people waiting to get into the pub, we approached the bouncer, who immediately gave us a stern look. " hi my names y/n l/n and this is my assistant Elle Smith, we're management for 5 seconds of summer. Our names should be on the list" after giving us an annoyed glance, he looked through the sheets he had on a clipboard in front of him.
"Sorry girls but your names are not on the list" he gave us a fake sad look.
"ELLE WHAT THE HELL! You incompetent idiot! How are you supposed to be an assistant if you can't even call to put our names on the list for our band!" I yelled angrily, trying to make it seem as real as possible. "When we get back I want you to pack up all your things and leave" I glared, as she looked fake hurt. I walked off, only to be called out a moment later by who I assumed was the bouncer.
"Excuse me miss y/n l/n!" I turned around and walked back up to him, trying to looking annoyed. "It seems I made a mistake, your names were actually at the very bottom"
I smiled "thank you sir, now Elle this better not happen again" I strutted towards the entrance, with Elle in tow. Once in the building and away from the bouncer, we busted out laughing. "That was awesome Elle, sorry I yelled at you" I smiled apologetically.
"Hey it's cool, thanks to your acting were in!" She exclaimed happily as we made are way to the crowded area. People scattered around, a bigger group in front of the stage, I looked to the stage and immediately noticed the band I had my eye on. They were incredible, every cord played right and neither of the four boys fell out of sync. I found them on YouTube actually, they had just started posting covers and now we're recently working on their own songs. You could tell, the song was good but it wasn't the best. Something just didn't sound right.
Me and Elle stood in the middle along with everyone else just bopping to the music. You could tell not many people were enjoying it, but it was still enough to keep things moving. They got to the chorus and I couldn't help my eyes from landing on a certain guy in particular. His name was Michael Clifford. He was very attractive and looked like he absolutely loved what he was doing. His eyes caught mine for a moment, causing a smirk to spread accords his face. The song ended and I went to the bar to get some drinks. "Hey can I get one vodka cranberry and one vodka sprite please?"
"Sure thing" he made the drinks "that'll be thirteen dollars." I handed him the money before taking the drinks, after thanking him. Turning around, I catch myself from banging into someone "oh I'm sorry"
"That's alright love, I'm sorry I shouldn't have walked right behind you" he smiled apologetically. I looked up immediately connecting eyes with the familiar green eyes, I connected with not so long ago.
"Hey your Michael right? I'm y/n l/n, I thought you guys were incredible. I think you could go really far and I was actually wondering if you needed any help?"
"I am and Thank you! I appreciate that a lot, were still pretty nervous performing and Sometimes it feels so surreal. what do you mean?" He questioned.
"Well I'm a band manager, and I was wondering if you'd let me be the manager of your band? I think I could be a really good asset and help you guys achieve everything you want" I smiled, trying to sound as professional as I could.
"Uhhhh... I don't know." He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, looking confused.
"Hey mate we ne- oh sorry I didn't mean to interrupt be we kinda need to go" his band mate Luke spoke.
"It's fine, look I need to go" he rushed off with Luke before I could get out another word. I huffed in frustration, looking around for Elle. Once spotting her, I began making my way to where she was and hauled her away, heading over to the exit. Handing the drinks to a random stranger.
"Hey y/n what are you doing? Where are we going?" She exclaimed hauling herself away from me.
"Look we need to head to the after party" I stated, stopping as we made it out side on the almost vacant street.
"What are you talking about? We can't, we have school tomorrow" she said worriedly.
"Please we won't be gone long, just trust me on this. If this works out we'll begin our dream like we've always wanted!" I exclaimed happily, trying to convince her.
"Alright.... but how are we going to get in there?"
"We'll see that guy over there? he happens to be going to the after party and he can bring guests. I also happen to know he hasn't taken his eyes off you since we've been standing here" I smirked.
"Really? You're lying he's not staring at me" she said shyly, trying to avoid looking at him.
"Just watch" before she could say anything else I made my way over to the man standing by the building on his phone. "Hey your Ty right?"
"I am, what do you want?" He looked at me a bit annoyed and confused.
"Well I happen to know that you're going to the after party tonight, as well as that you can't keep you're eyes off my friend over there. Look if you let us get in with you, you can borrow my friend for a bit. Give her a few drinks and she won't be shy."
He scoffed "please why would I do that, if they wanted you there you'd be invited."
"Ughh... well truth is I was supposed to go with my ex and he cheated on me before, so I wanted to go to make him regret it" I smirked.
"Fine. what is your number so I can text you the address?" I smiled before telling him my number, as he entered it in his phone. I said bye, before making my way back to Elle extremely happy.
"Well how'd it go?" As soon as she spoke I received a text, I check it to see it was the address from ty.
"Considering I just got the address, I'd say it went well" I smirked, feeling really excited. Their band was special and I wanted nothing more than to help them become even more special. We squealed, as we began making our to the destination.
     The taxi we've taken pulled up outside the lit and crowded house. Once we paid, we got out and began making our way in. "Hey girls, you made it!" Ty exclaimed after we entered the house.
    "Oh of course! if you want to go with Ty you can Elle, I'm going to go find who I'm looking for" I smirked as we said bye. I grabbed two drink from the  person giving out drinks and began making my way through the living room. I spotted the one I was looking for, seeing the familiar hair. I approached a few girls talking close by and joined in, trying to look less suspicious as possible. We all laughed at what one of the girls said, as I handed a drink to one of them before saying bye, keeping the other one to sip on. I turned around making my way through the back area of the house, trying not to show I knew he was there. It didn't last long, because we almost walked into each other again. "Well fancy meeting you here?"
   "I could say the same, you really get around do you?" He said still confused and a bit annoyed.
    "Well when you're a good manager, you get invited to all the best parties." I smirked. He nodded, showing he understood but wasn't completely interested. "Soo... look I know we didn't get to finish our conversation back there, but I really think I could help you and your mates do well"
   "Look y/n right?" I nodded to show he was correct "I appreciate the offer but I think me and my mates are fine."
    "I get it, but I think that you guys could go really far and I want to help you do that, I've been looking for raw and real talent. You guys have that. Look just let me show you what I can do, I don't want anything right now and if you don't like what I have to offer then I'll leave and you'll never see me again." I stated the words that I had been planning on saying for awhile.
    His face shown mixed emotions, what looked to be  worry and uncertainty. A few more moments of him thinking passed by before he finally spoke, "look... I'll speak to the boys and see what they say, I will let you know okay?" He still sounded unsure, but I was more than happy.
"Thank you! I promise you guys won't regret it" I smiled, before giving him my number and walking off excitedly. Mission accomplished.
    It was a few days later when I finally received a text from Michael. I was currently at my locker switching out my books for the next class when I got the notification.
Hey y/n it's Michael, I spoke to the boys and they agreed to see what you can do for us. Are you able to meet us tonight at 7?
   I freaked out on the inside, not wanting to look weird for freaking out in front of any other students before finally replying.
Lovely! That should work, just text me the address and I'll be there for then.
Smiling to myself, I closed my locker before making my way to my next class; which happened to be with Elle. Once in the room, I grabbed my usual seat next to the familiar brunette and immediately began chatting before the teacher showed up. "Hey y/n/n! What's got you all smiley?" She laughed, grabbing he physics book from her bag.
"Well you're girl finally just got a message from none other than Michael himself and they decided to give me a chance!" I silently squealed trying not to attract any nosey classmates.
"That's awesome y/n, when do you get to see them next?"
"He asked me to come by tonight at 7, you're coming right? I mean this has always been our dream" I smiled happily going off in thought.
"About that.... Miles actually asked me to go out tonight and I may have said yes...." she was hesitant to speak at first.
"Wait Miles as in Miles Jordan?" She nodded, I was so confused Miles was the most popular guy in school and normally wouldn't take as second glance at anyone that wasn't popular. "But I thought he goes out with Ava?" I questioned a
   "He did, apparently they broke up the other day, and this morning he asked me to hang out"
  "I don't know how I feel about that, but if you want to then I have no place to say no. Just be careful please? I don't want you to get hurt."
    "Don't worry y/n/n I'll be fine, just make sure you show them what we can do for them and make them want to work with us" she smiled. Just then teacher walked in, ending our conversation.
     The day went by relatively slow but now it was the end of the day and was time for me to head home and finish preparing what I had to show the 5sos boys. I honestly couldn't believe this was happening, I was a bit nervous but I knew I got this. They seem pretty chill so maybe it won't be so bad...
I was now stood in front of a door. Not just any door though, it just so happened to belong to the room where the four boys were located. Letting out a breath I've been holding, I knocked on the wooden door. A few moments passed before someone finally opened the door, which revealed none other than Michael himself. "Hi y/n"
     "Hey Michael, Thank you again for giving me a chance" I smiled. This man really was attractive, even more so in person but I knew why I was here and I couldn't get distracted. Brushing all thoughts aside, He allowed me in and I immediately looked around the decent size room. The other three boys sprawled around the room who was once in conversation amongst each other, but are now staring at my figure standing next to Michael. "Hi" I waved a bit shyly.
    "Alright boys so this is y/n the one I told you about and y/n this is Luke, calum and Ashton." Michael introduced us.
    "Hi y/n, nice to meet you! Michael has told us plenty about you" Ashton smirked towards Michael as he shook my hand, next was Luke and then calum. I couldn't help but think about what Ashton meant by that.... Once we were done introducing ourselves, they all sat on the couch in the corner of the room while I stood in front of it.
"Okay guys.." I then went on explaining how I could help them and that I already contacted a major club, who would love to have them. We just needed to work on more music.
"So Bambu Beach Bar, wants us to perform?" Michael asked.
"Yes they said they having an opening next Friday, if you want it. We just need to have some more songs prepared, because although you guys are incredible the songs need to be worked on" I replied.
"Why what's wrong with the few songs we have?" Luke questioned, hurt.
"Don't get me wrong they're good, they're just not amazing and the one you performed the other night didn't really catch people's attention"
"Great so how we going to come up with new songs before Friday?" Ashton replied annoyed
"Well I actually have that planned out. For the next week I'm going to come help so that way you finish them in time. I know you guys can do this, and if this works out so many other clubs will want to have you and them maybe you can move from South Whales and start going across Australia."
What felt like forever for a response, the boys finally broke out of their conversation "okay y/n we will let you help manage us for now, to at least see what you got" Michael finally spoke.
"Great!" I smiled happily.
"But if anything goes wrong, then that's it" I nodded, understanding completely. "Would you like a drink?"
"Sure, Michael left the room through another door which I assumed was the kitchen.
"Sooo.... y/n?" I nodded toward the brunette boy. "What do think about Michael?" I was completely caught off guard by the question, immediately feeling a faint blush appear on my cheeks.
"Well he's pretty cool"I laughed nervously, trying not to shown any feelings I did have.
Ashton rolled his eyes, "we didn't mean that. What I mean was do you like him?" He winked, before I could answer michael walked back is with a drink in hand. He sat back down next to me of course leaving a bit of space, claim all of a sudden got up and walked looked to be a stereo. Music began playing and we all fell into conversations, Ashton a question playing in the back of mind. Do I like Michael? I would be lying if I didn't say there was some sort of feeling towards the coloured hair male, but this was business and I didn't want to ruin it.
