(Lucy’s P.O.V)

I woke up to knocking on my door. I groaned a pulled myself out of bed. I walked trudged downstairs and over to my front door. I pulled open the door as was welcomed with screams.

“Stop. Please. Stop.” I said

“Well good to see you too cuz” the voice said

I opened my eyes more and saw the figure who was standing in front of me, it was my cousin Sarah from England.

“Eeeeeppppp hiiiiiiiiiiiii” I squealed and hugged her

She chuckled and hugged me back

“Come inside” I instructed her

We walked inside and into the kitchen. Sarah sat at the kitchen bench while I walked over to the fridge.

“Do you want something to eat or drink?” I asked being the good host that I am

“Do you have juice?” Sarah asked

“Yep. Apple, orange, orange and passionfruit and multi v”

“I’ll have a multi v juice please”

I got out two glasses and pour us a glass of multi v juice each. We sat at the kitchen bench and talked until my phone beeped. I picked it up and saw I had a text from Amelia

Amelia – the results are through...

That was it. I stared at my phone. ‘The results are through...’? really Amelia really? Ugh. Sarah obviously saw the look on my face and asked what was wrong

“My dance group entered and competition to be One Direction’s back up dancers and –”

“YOU WHAT?” Sarah screamed

“Entered a competition?” I asked confused

“I HEARD ONE DIRECTION”

“Yeah to be back up dancers for One Direction” I said simply

Sarah fangirled. I have nothing else to say but that.

“Can I finish what I was saying?” I asked her

“Yep! Sure! Go ahead!” Sarah said enthusiastically

“I got a text from my coach saying the results for the first round came through” I explained

“And?” Sarah asked

“That’s all she said”

“Oh”

My phone beeped again. I eagerly picked it up hoping it was Amelia and it was

Amelia – girls...YOU’RE THROUGH

I screamed dropping my phone and danced around the kitchen. Sarah picked up my phone, read the message and joined me in dancing around the kitchen. After a while we stopped and sat down on the floor.

“What happens now?” Sarah asked

“We’re in the second round” I replied

“What does that mean?”

“We dance for the manager of the band” I explained

“That’s awesome Lucy” Sarah exclaimed while hugging me

I chuckled as she let go of me and stood up

“So, what are we doing today?” Sarah asked

“Shopping, eat food, have a look around town?” I suggested

“They sound great lets go” Sarah said enthusiastically as she ran towards the door

“Um Sarah”

“Yeah?”

“I’m in my pyjamas” I said looking down

“Well go get changed” Sarah replied like I was the stupidest person in the world

I quickly ran upstairs and look in my wardrobe. I picked a pair of denim shorts with lace on one side, a grey singlet that had ‘I’m not a bitch I just have a low bullshit tolerance’ on it with a pair of white converse. I also picked up my aviators and walked downstairs (Outfit: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=96521406)

I saw Sarah was still waiting at the door. She was wearing a pair of ripped jeans, a white singlet that had ‘LONDON’ on it and gold strappy sandals. She was also wearing rayban sunglasses (Outfit: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=96521680).

We walked to the bus stop and waited for a while before the bus came. The bus ride was 10 minutes and then we arrived right outside the shopping centre. We went into every shop and always coming out with something in our hands.

At around 1 we made our way to the food court. I ordered my usual meal from McDonald’s while Sarah went over to Subway. Stupid healthy cousin.

We spent the rest of the day looking around the shops before we made our way back to the bus stop and finally my place. We dumped our shopping on the couch before Sarah went to the guest room and I made my way to the kitchen to find a take away menu.

I took out a Italian menu and walked over to the guest bedroom.

“Sarah my dear cousin we’re getting Italian and you have no say in the situation” I stated before walking out and into the living room to get my phone.

Once I ordered dinner and Sarah had finished what ever she was doing we sat down in front of the TV. There was nothing on to watch so it was just background noise while me and Sarah talked until dinner came. While we ate we continued to talking. We talked about food, cats, life, boys (One Direction) and what we’re going to do while Sarah’s here.

“Well I’m tired so bye” Sarah said abruptly while standing up

“Is my company not good enough for oyu?” I joked

Sarah just gave me a look and walked into the guest bedroom

“NIGGGGGHHHHHHHHT” I called out to her as I walked up stairs into my own room and collapsing on the bed. I was soon asleep.
