Game On

The Essay*

"Sit please, everyone!" Mr.Reedman shouted above the loud chatter of the class.
Everyone quickly sat down and the talking became a quiet buzz.
"Thank you! And I'd like to thank you all for being here..."
Mr.Reedman began his speech.
He'd invited all of the scholarship essay applicants to his room after school, so he could give his speech, much of which I had already heard.
I was itching to find out this years topic.
I tried to focus as he went on and on about word count, and turn in dates until...
"This years topic has me very excited! We are going to be writing about something modern, 5 people I'm sure you ALL know,"
Wait... Did he just say people? I groaned, hoping nobody would hear.
"This years topic essay is one direction! You need to research their whole careers, from the X factor to today. Remember only three of you get chosen. Good luck,"
He was kidding, right? One Direction? I didn't know- or care about- anything One Direction did. I never watched them on the X factor, I didn't have their tee shirts and posters, or cry whenever I saw their faces.
Everyone shuffled out of the room, except me.
"Mr. Reedman?" I asked, walking up to his desk, "Not to be rude or anything, but why are we writing about... One Direction??" I asked.
He smiled.
"These essays are always so uptight, I thought writing about something everyone loves would make your essay more fun! I'd think a girl like yourself would be ecstatic to write about them," he said, picking up his briefcase and walking out of the room.
"Not everyone," I said to myself.
I slowly walked out of the classroom and meet my best friend Carter outside.
"Hey-" I began, but she cut me off with her screams.
"NO WAY!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!" She squealed into her phone.
I obviously looked very confused, because carter began to explain.
"I was the lucky ninth caller!! I won 3 one direction tickets!!" She said.
I groaned. There was too much one direction going on in my life right now. First I had to write my essay on them and now I'm sure Carter would make me go see the, in concert.
"Wow," was all I could manage to say.
"AND WE GET TO MEET THEM AFTER!!" She said.
"We?" I asked hesitantly.
"Me you and Skylar, DUH," she said.
"You know I don't like one direction right?" I said, trying to get out of it.
"Well you wouldn't even go... For me?" She said, doing puppy dog eyes.
"Fine! Only for you!" I laughed.
"This is going to be amazing... I'm going to be in the same room as one direction the SAME ROOM!" She squealed.
I could tell this was going to be a long evening.

The next day, Sky and Carter came over to get ready for the concert.
"I still can't believe you got tickets!! This is going to be the best night of my LIFE!" Skylar said.
"I know right!!??" Carter said.
They fan girled for a while until i interrupted.
"Um, guys? Could you maybe like NOT scream every time we talk about one Direction?" I asked.
"Don't be a party pooper because your not a directioner," carter said, pointing a comb at me.
I rolled my eyes.
"Yes Carter that's exactly it thank you," I laughed.
"LETS ROLL!" Sky said.
We all hopped in Skylars mercedes benz and headed to the concert
