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, آپ 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 مضامین 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 یا not whether she is sure یا 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 میز, جدول 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 ٹوسٹ but then the phone rang.
"Hello?" She picked up.
"Hi Lucy..Did I wake آپ 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?" کہا Lucy.
"....."
"Rebeka??"
"Oh..Sorry I got a little lost..Um..Right..Uh..I called to tell آپ that Bob called my dad and we will have to either take a cab to school یا just go walking cos the bus is busted and its in his uncle's گیراج 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 کہا in a grumpy face.
"You are right. So آپ will come pick me up, Right?" Asked Rebeka.
"Yeah. I will come pick آپ up in 30 منٹ 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 گیراج 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 مزید of their time.
She walked and walked till she reached Rebeka's house. She wasn't amazed at how big یا fancy it looked cos she already came here many times before when Rebeka invited her یا 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 یا to know if the other one will talk.
They started walking, Then..
"So..Did آپ 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." کہا Lucy then looked at Rebeka then she knew that was what Rebeka wanted to hear.
"Phew thank God..I thought آپ would act cool and everything and pretend as if its no big deal..You know the contest" کہا Rebeka and showed her worried/excited face.
"Rebeka..This could make our dream come true. If we win this..We might actually be دوستوں with the boys if they like us and get to know us enough during those 3 weeks. It would مزید than what we've asked for and آپ want me to act cool and pretend I don't care?!" کہا Lucy.
"I know, I know..Sorry but آپ always act cool. I thought آپ would do it about the contest too.: کہا 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 کہا with her eyes almost shut.
"Good morning..You look like آپ didn't sleep well." کہا 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 کہا 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 آپ 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 مزید 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 اگلے 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 میز, جدول 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 دوستوں 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 کہا a little happy about their excited/nervous faces.
"Well I see آپ 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 کہا 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 کہا something too great and wonderful. In fact she didn't know how to describe her feeling. Even to herself.
"Please just stop! I have مزید to tell you" She کہا 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 آپ and what آپ are required to do in order to win" she کہا then stepped aside for Mr. Lockhorn to start talking.
"Well..Um..the contest is basically all about how much آپ love the band (some girls squealed)..When the contest starts accepting entries..You will be asked to write an مضمون that can't be less than 3 pages which is divided into: a page یا pages where آپ describe how much آپ love the boys and what they mean to آپ and how did آپ find out about them and another page یا pages where آپ write why آپ want to win and describe what آپ would like to do with the boys but please girls don't mention anything naughty یا a little perverted, It would cause your مضمون to be disqualified (Some girls frowned when he کہا that) and last آپ 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 مضامین and they will be the winners. Some of آپ might think its a stupid way to make a contest but I would like to tell آپ we will choose the winners according to the way they describe the boys and the way they دکھائیں their love." He stopped then there was silence.
"Thank you." He کہا then stepped away.
Then the principle stood again in front of the microphone.
"So I hope آپ understood Mr. Lockhorn and what the contest is all about. To enter آپ just write your name on the board that will be placed in here (she pointed towards the دیوار 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 مزید 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 مضامین 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 دوستوں who are probably the luckiest girls ever. They didn't know what to say یا 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.
