The story cover <3
______
Lucy rarely slept the other night cos her mind was working hard trying to believe the fact that she actually has a chance to make her biggest dream come true.
Meeting One Direction was a dream she thought would never come true but this is not just meeting them, You would also get to spend 3 weeks with them. She felt like its a dream. A good dream that might not come true cos no matter how big the contest is and of course the whole school will enter, There will surely be cheating and bribing and rich students will surely pay the teachers to tell the boys to pick their articles even if they wrote the silliest things ever.
She felt like the contest might not be fair but its a huge chance, The chance is too big for her to waste. Then she made a decision that might be one of the biggest and most dangerous decisions of her entire life.
She decided to enter the contest.
After she woke up. She found out it was too early. It was 5:00 AM. Two hours before its time for her bus to arrive. She stood quiet for a while in her bed. Thinking whether she is ready or not whether she is sure or not cos this might change her entire life.
She had so many thoughts racing in her mind but she decided to get dressed so that she can eat early and don't make Bob go angry again when she gets late.
After she got dressed, She went downstairs and felt a bit odd to see the table empty cos she got used to seeing her mom and dad's faces as soon as she reaches the kitchen.
She turned on the stove and started to make herself some eggs to eat with her toast but then the phone rang.
"Hello?" She picked up.
"Hi Lucy..Did I wake you up?"
She heard Rebeka speaking and sounding sorry a little for calling so early. Lucy thought that she surely couldn't sleep as well.
"No Rebeka. Don't worry..I was already awake on my own. So what is it?" said Lucy.
"....."
"Rebeka??"
"Oh..Sorry I got a little lost..Um..Right..Uh..I called to tell you that Bob called my dad and we will have to either take a cab to school or just go walking cos the bus is busted and its in his uncle's garage now and he can't take us to school."
"...That's terrible! We will never find a cab this early!..I guess we will have to go to school on foot." Lucy said in a grumpy face.
"You are right. So you will come pick me up, Right?" Asked Rebeka.
"Yeah. I will come pick you up in 30 minutes cos a trip on foot to school takes a long time so we better go early."
"Alright then, Lucy..Bye!"
"Bye Rebeka"
Then Lucy hung up the phone and frowned.
She hated walking to school cos she is a lazy girl, Hates walking and generally hates anything that includes effort but they had nothing else to do. The bus is busted and Bob can't leave it in the garage and rent another one so she took the eggs off the pan and placed them in her plate and started eating.
Then when it was 5:45, She decided to go and pick Rebeka up cos they still have to pick up Kathy which will use more of their time.
She walked and walked till she reached Rebeka's house. She wasn't amazed at how big or fancy it looked cos she already came here many times before when Rebeka invited her or when they had sleepovers, But she just stared at the door waiting for Rebeka to come out after she sent her a text telling her she is waiting in front of the house.
Rebeka went out and she had dark shadows under her eyes, She surely couldn't sleep either.
There was silence where they just looked at each other, Either to know if they are thinking about the same thing or to know if the other one will talk.
They started walking, Then..
"So..Did you sleep well last night?" Asked Rebeka in a tone that proved that she was acting like she never thought of the contest.
"No. My eyes didn't even get shut." said Lucy then looked at Rebeka then she knew that was what Rebeka wanted to hear.
"Phew thank God..I thought you would act cool and everything and pretend as if its no big deal..You know the contest" Said Rebeka and showed her worried/excited face.
"Rebeka..This could make our dream come true. If we win this..We might actually be friends with the boys if they like us and get to know us enough during those 3 weeks. It would more than what we've asked for and you want me to act cool and pretend I don't care?!" Said Lucy.
"I know, I know..Sorry but you always act cool. I thought you would do it about the contest too.: Said Rebeka sounding sorry again.
"Its o.k. But lets just talk about it after we pick up Kathy. This is something all three of us have to discuss."
They reached Kathy's house. Simple but cute just like Lucy's house and it kinda proved that Rebeka is the rich one among them but she never ever thought about it and money was the last thing she cared about, Sometimes she wishes if she had parents like Lucy and Kathy who don't care about their work and their companies and pay some attention to their daughter.
Kathy stepped out and it was obvious she didn't sleep enough. She had no shadows under her eyes but she was walking as if she is drunk.
"Hi guys." She said with her eyes almost shut.
"Good morning..You look like you didn't sleep well." Said Lucy.
"Yeah. I am tired as hell. To be honest I couldn't stop thinking about this contest thingy. Its like the only thing I think about. I couldn't even focus on my homework. Mrs.Wright will kill me if she catches many mistakes in my homework but..I don't really care." She said with a little guilt.
"Yeah neither did we. I woke up at 5:00 AM today. Left mom a note telling her I am walking with you guys so she won't be worried." Replied Lucy.
"Great!" Replied Kathy still closed eyed.
They walked and walked silently. They knew they were thinking of the same thing and that the principle might announce something important today that might make them even more concerned about this. Specially Lucy, She couldn't believe that the principle announced it! And she knew that if the principle announced more. Something weird will happen to her.
they reached the school and she felt such a weird feeling in her stomach. Kind of like an ache but not an ache. She couldn't help being nervous, excited and totally overwhelmed at how her life will possibly change cos of a contest!
During almost the entire day. All three of them weren't even focused at what page they were reading during their classes. The principle was gonna make another announcement during lunch and they just couldn't wait till they find out what's next for this contest.
Finally and after a long wait. It was lunch time. They never thought they would be this excited for lunch before but they were. They sat on their usual table but this time Michele wasn't there. The meanies pack gave them disgusted looks of course but this time both Kathy and Rebeka looked back and Lucy felt so proud that her friends don't think those bitches are awesome anymore.
They saw the teacher setting up the microphone for the principle and they just wanted to scream "COME ON".
The principle came and almost all the girls held their breaths to know what the principle has to announce.
"Good afternoon Students" The principle said a little happy about their excited/nervous faces.
"Well I see you are all excited about the contest...Just want I wanted" She continued.
"Well..I have discussed it with the teachers and the band itself (everyone glared at the principle) And we have decided...."
She just waited and apparently she was enjoying the faces in front of her cos most girls were about to faint from holding their breaths.
"We've decided that..The contest is officially open!" She said and smiled widely.
There were so many screams and hugs and cheers. and again both Rebeka and Kathy jumped and screamed but Lucy just sat there staring at the emptiness in front of her. She started to shake and sweat and she felt like she wanted to just slap herself and make sure she is not dreaming.
The contest is officially open. That's what the principle said. She felt like she said something too great and wonderful. In fact she didn't know how to describe her feeling. Even to herself.
"Please just stop! I have more to tell you" She said then everyone was in deep silence.
"You don't even know what the contest is like so one of our teachers Mr. Lockhorn will explain the contest to you and what you are required to do in order to win" she said then stepped aside for Mr. Lockhorn to start talking.
"Well..Um..the contest is basically all about how much you love the band (some girls squealed)..When the contest starts accepting entries..You will be asked to write an article that can't be less than 3 pages which is divided into: a page or pages where you describe how much you love the boys and what they mean to you and how did you find out about them and another page or pages where you write why you want to win and describe what you would like to do with the boys but please girls don't mention anything naughty or a little perverted, It would cause your article to be disqualified (Some girls frowned when he said that) and last you will have to tell us how much the boys changed your life and we when the contest is over we will see the best 3 articles and they will be the winners. Some of you might think its a stupid way to make a contest but I would like to tell you we will choose the winners according to the way they describe the boys and the way they show their love." He stopped then there was silence.
"Thank you." He said then stepped away.
Then the principle stood again in front of the microphone.
"So I hope you understood Mr. Lockhorn and what the contest is all about. To enter you just write your name on the board that will be placed in here (she pointed towards the wall behind her) after 3 days from now. Whoever writes their name is in the contest and will be demanded to write the article. There's no turning back after your name is written so think carefully...Thank you." then she walked away.
All girls were silent thinking about it and flipping the contest through their heads but Lucy in particular was a but more affected at the principle's last sentence: "There's no turning back after your name is written."
The girls looked at each other as if they are trying to read each other's minds.
So know they have 3 days to make the choice. The choice that might change their lives forever if there articles win. It would be everything they would wish for and maybe more. They could actually get close to the boys and end up famous and get on the TV as One Direction's new friends who are probably the luckiest girls ever. They didn't know what to say or what to do, They just sat there.
All they could think about is the principle's last words and their fate if they actually won the contest.
It would mean that their lives are complete but still they gotta think cos there's no turning back once you've decided to enter.

On the drive home Semra kept looking over at me to see if I'm all right.
"are you sure your ok!?" Semra said nearly shouting.
"I said I'm fine! Stop worrying!!" I said to her while laughing.
"what you laughing at!?" she said
"nothing…" I replied, I was laughing at Harry, I could tell that he was finding it hard to talk to me.
I arrived back home at 7:30pm, I washed my head and then went to bed.
Harry P.O.V
I waved good-bye to Lillian and headed back inside to the boys.
"hi guys!" I said
"hey why did you leave straight away after the last song?" Niall asked
"he saw a girl being trampled so he went to help." Louis said
"good on ya mate." said Niall
"is she ok now?" asked Liam.
"yeah she's fine but she did have a huge cut on her head!" I said while sitting down on the chair.
"really!? How did she get the cut?" Zayn said
"she banged it on a metal bar." I said
"ouch!!" Louis said
"yeah but she's ok now." I said
after we talk then we all went home.

I answered the door to find Niall, Liam, Zayn, and Louis. Liam and Niall linked my arms with theirs and Zayn and Louis covered my eyes. They walked me down the driveway to the curb. I heard a car door open and the boys let go of me. In front of me was a limo and Harry was inside.
"This was all Harry's idea," Louis said.
"Well I think it's cute," Harry and I said replied in unison.
Harry smiled at me but he looked embarassed. We all got in the limo and I sat next to Harry. We held hands the whole ride until we reached the entrance of the concert venue.
"I'll see you on the stage," I said and gave Harry a quick kiss on the cheek before getting out of the car.

Two weeks have passesed before I knew it it was already Darcy's birthday. I quietly got up trying to not wake up Darcy of course you have to be quiet when she is sleeping right next to you. So i get up wake up the guys and put up the banners, the ballons. Then her cake i put three candles on the cake. I wake up Darcy and cover her eye's and take her to the kichen. When we enter the kichen i uncover her eyes. when she opens her eye. The boys yell "Happy Birthday Darcy!!". Then I lift her up and put her on the chair. I cut her a piece of cake and giver it to her with a scoop of ice-cream. "So Darcy where do you want to go for youre birthday" i ask. First she thinks then she says "TOYS-R-US!!!''. So we go to Toys R us i hold Darcys hand tightly. We walk around a little bit "hey guys wach Darcy for me i need to go get something"i say. When I come back i cant belive what i see i stop breathing. Darcy is gone and nowere to be found.
Lillian's P.O.V
I was on the ground being trampled, my head was hurting so much when I banged it on the metal bar. I couldn't really hear anything only bits of the song 'I want'. Lots of girls were jumping on me, all ready I had tonnes of bruise all on me. I tried saying help but nobody could hear because the girls screaming and the music was so loud.
Harry's P.O.V
" I want, I want, I want"
" but that's crazy!"
"I want, I want, I want!"
"and that's not me!"
"I want, I want to be loved by you!!!!"
I was about to walk over to the other boys when I noticed a girl on the ground, I could see she was trying to get back up but she couldn't. I looked at Louis and he saw her too, so I rushed off stage (because I was closest) to try and help the girl who was being trampled.
Lots of girls thought I was coming to them, so it was kinda awkward for me. I helped her of the ground and took her outside without any of the girls following me.

I was invited to my teacher's daughter's graduation party. It was one of the hottest days of the summer so I had on my denim cutoffs, floral semi-frilly tank top, and my adidas sandals. The drive to the party was about 10 minutes on winding dirt roads. We parked our car and walked to the tent in which the party was held. There was a DJ and about 100 guests. I knew everyone except for a couple of people from my teacher's family. There was a buffet set up, a pool, and a dance floor. No one was dancing though and the party was extremely boring. I sat down at a table, put my headphones in and began to text, tuning out the rest of the world.
Note: None of the boys have girl friends this is all made up.
"Come on Shae we have to go up and sing now".
"I now Shannon but i am so scared"
"Who cares we are going to sing a song from our favourite boy band and we have all our year 6/7 friends come out with us".
"Yeah but what if we stuff up?"
"If we stuff up then we just keep going then have a laugh after we have finished".
"NEXT UP IS SHANNON AND SHAE SING ING STAND UP BY ONE DIRECTION AND SOME OF THE 6/7 BOYS DANCING WITH THEM".
"Hey Shae wouldn't it be funny if One Direction showed up and sang with us?"
'Yeah that would be so funny but cool at the same time".
Thank you for reading please leave a comment i would like your opinion.
I will post part 2 later.
