It was just a normal day for me, Mai Quintie. I sat on my bed, picked up my remote, and turned on the TV. A few seconds after, I saw commercial with my favorite boy band of all time. One Direction.
I saw the gorgeous faces of Niall Horan and Liam Payne as I instantly tuned up the volume. I could hear their song Up All Night quietly playing in the background.
“Hi. We’re One Direction,” Louis said. “For those of you who don’t know our names, I’m Louis, the Tomo, Tomlinson.
“I’m Niall Horan,” Niall said with his sexy Irish accent.“If you can’t tell, I’m the Irish one.”
I giggled at his comment.
“I’m Liam Payne, otherwise known as Daddy Direction.”
“I’m Harry Styles.” He started wiggling his eyebrows flirtatiously, “And I'm single.”
“VAS HAPPENIN?! I'm Zayn Malik.”
Liam said, “We’re looking for a new sixth member o-”
Harry interrupted Liam, “Preferably a girl.”
Zayn continued, “Oh yeah definitely. But guys can sign up too.”
“As I was saying,” Liam continued, “we’re looking for a new sixth member of One Direction.”
“All you have to do,” Niall said, “is make a video. Tell us your qualifications you have with singing and performing if you have
any. Then, just sing our song One
Thing to any karaoke for it that you find. Then, we will choose the best ten
to be flown to London to meet us and continue the contest with live
performances.”
Louis said, “All expenses will be paid for, including airfare, hotel, and food.”
“FOOD!” Niall said.
“Just post a video on youtube and email us a link to [email protected],”Harry said.
“Good luck, and we hope to see you in London,” Zayn said.
I was so excited to do it. Just then, my best friend Reyna called.
“O! M! G!” she yelled. “DID YOU HEAR THE NEWS?”
“Yeah, I'm SO excited,” I said.
“Mai, do you realize how good my chances are? I'm and AMAZING
singer!”
“Um, no offense, but you’re not that good of a singer,” I
explained.
“Then why did I get the lead for Hansel and Gretel?” she said
rather childishly.
“For the billionth time,” I responded, “I was Hansel. You were
one of the thirty gingerbread children.”
“Seriously, why were you the dude?”
“For the trillionth time, Mrs. Adejid wanted a
girl to do it since a boy’s voice would be too low.” Mrs. Adejid is our drama
teacher.
She responded, “But you have a lower voice than most of the boys
who auditioned.”
I chuckled, “Well that I can’t argue with.”
“Okay well I'm gonna go work on my video. Bye!”
“Bye.” I hung up my phone.
I decided to work on my intro for the video. I couldn’t sing just yet. There was a choir mass tomorrow that I was singing for so I needed to save my voice.
I didn’t feel like changing, so I picked up my camera, and I decided to wear what I was currently wearing (black camo pants and a black Death Note t-shirt). I wanted to show the boys that I wasn’t a complete girly girl.
I took my camera stand out of my over packed closet. I set it up and put my camera on it. I put my medium length black hair in a Dutch braid and started recording. I jumped onto my bed and sat on it Indian style.
“Hello, One Direction. My name is Mai Quintie and I’m fourteen. Right now I'm only going to tell you my qualifications and singing history cuz I need to save my voice for the mass I'm singing at tomorrow. First, I have been in choir since 3rd grade and am currently the head choir
girl. I’ve also been a school cantor since the 3rd grade. Also, I have been in numerous school musicals and have played the lead in most of them.
“In The Phantom of the Opera, I played Christine. I played Fantine in Les Miserables. For Cats I played Grizabella. Also, I played Hansel in the opera version of Hansel and Gretel,” I paused. “In case you were wondering, Hansel is the boy. That’s all for now. You’ll hear me sing tomorrow. Bye.”
I got up, stopped recording, and turned the camera off.
