*NATALIE'S POV*

I took a deep breath, and opened the door.  Inside, I saw five sweaty, tired-looking boys sitting down on a couch.  Those boys were Niall, Zayn, Liam, Louis and Harry.

Inside, I was screaming and fangirling, but I kept my cool on the outside.  I smiled and introduced myself, and turned to see the other girls.  They were hanging back at the door, glaring in Niall’s direction.

What the heck are they thinking?

The boys waved and introduced themselves, as if I didn’t already know their names (and everything else about them).

Suddenly, Angela exploded, yelling at Niall about not talking to her and Skylar for the past year. 

Wait, they already knew Niall?

I was shocked, and so were the other four boys.  Niall just looked like he wanted to run away.

As soon as Angela stopped screaming, Skylar started.

Okay, now I’m really confused.

Niall asked Skylar and Angela to step outside with him for a moment, leaving me standing awkwardly in front of my favorite band.

Finally, Louis broke the awkward silence, “What the heck was that all about?” voicing my exact thoughts.

“I have absolutely no clue.” I replied, trying to hide the quiver in my voice.  I can’t believe that Skylar didn’t tell me she knew Niall.  What kind of person would keep that from her cousin?  Especially if her cousin was a directioner.

Jerk.

“What was your name again?” Harry asked me, taking a sip from his water bottle.

“Um, Natalie Fonteyn.” I couldn’t believe I was talking to the actual Harry Styles.  This was the best moment in my entire life.

“Are you French?” He asked me.

“Yeah, on my father’s side.  But I lived in England.”

“Oh, cool.”

“What part of England?” Liam asked.

“I lived in Cambridge, but now I live in Mullingar.”

 He nodded.

This is really weird and awkward.  I just stood there in the doorway, twiddling my thumbs.

The door opened again, and Niall, Angela, and Skylar came out, all of them looking like best pals.

What is going on?  I thought they hated each other…

Skylar tried to get my attention, but I avoided eye contact.  There is no way I’m going to talk to her after what she kept from me.

“Care to explain what happened, Niall?” Zayn asked, looking annoyed.

“Well, um, so Skylar and Angela were my best friends growing up, but we lost touch.  But we’re all good now.”

“Oh, okay…” Harry said.

“So, you guys are in a band?” Louis blurted, trying to change the subject. 

“Yup.” Skylar popped, grinning.

“Can you guys do a mini concert for us?  We have nothing to do for the rest of the night.” Liam asked us, the other boys nodding in agreement.

I blushed crimson, and shook my head.  But Angela laughed, took my hand, and dragged me over to the instruments in the corner of the room, with Skylar close behind.

“What do you guys want to play?” Angela asked fingering a guitar.

“NOTHING!” I shouted.  There was no way I was going to play in front of One Direction, they are professional musicians.

I looked over at the boys, and saw Louis trying to shove as many carrots in his mouth as possible.

Okay, four of them were professionals.

Skylar suggested we should play ‘Someone Like You’ by Adele, knowing it was one of my favorite songs.  She was probably just trying to make me hate her less. 

It didn’t work.  I still hate her.  How could she not tell me her best friend is Niall Horan?

I sighed, and sat down to the piano in the corner.  It was old, but still in tune.  I started to play, and Angela and Skylar started to sing.

When we were finished, the boys applauded us.  I blushed again, embarrassed.  I was horrible; I must have messed up a billion times. 

I looked up, and saw Zayn holding up his iPhone.  I heard a little noise come from his phone, and I recognized it.  It was the noised that the iPhone made when it was done recording. 

Zayn pressed some buttons on his phone, then grinned.

“What?”Skylar asked Zayn.

“Oh nothing, just uploaded the video of you guys performing on twitter.” He laughed.

I groaned.The girls went to look over his shoulder, and I followed.  Yup, he uploaded.  Suddenly, his screen was being filled with notifications.  There was already over a hundred comments.  175.  250.  300.

Holy cow…

Zayn scrolled through some of them, and I was shocked.  These people were saying things like, “OMG THEY ARE AMAZAYN!” and “Who are these girls?  They are really good!”

Zayn started to reply to some of them.  He was typing, ‘The girls’ names are Skylar, Angela, and Natalie.  There band is called-‘ “Wait what is your band’s name?”

“Saving Angels.” I said.  He typed it in, and posted.

“Wow, I can’t believe people like us!” Skylar said excitedly.

“Werl, oo iys are oord!” Louis said, with his mouth full of carrots.

“I think he said you guys are good,” Niall translated, “And I agree!”  The other boys yelled their agreement also.

This has been the best night ever.
