*BEEP BEEP BEEP my alarm goes off. It's 7:00 in morning and I usually get up at noon, but I have to go do the signing at 11:00 am. I shower and do my daily routine. I get into black skinny jeans, a batman t shirt, and my coach high tops. I go down to the breakfast room where many people greet and congratulate me. I remember that there was going to be a signing for one xfactor contestant and Simon got to choose who it was. I guess he chose me and that's why he asked me that last night. I get a bowl of coco puffs, a waffle, a blueberry bagel, and a chocolate muffin. “Some of that for me?” My brother comes walking to me and takes a bite of the muffin. “HEY!” I shout at him. “Seriously Mckenna, how do you eat so much and stay so fit?” My brother ask. “I don't know.” I reply back. The rest of my family is still sleeping while my bro and I eat breakfast. He comes back with more food than me. “And you say I eat a lot?” I say with a sarcastic tone. After we eat, we walk to the mall. It's a 2 mile walk, but we want to get some fresh air. “What do you think will happen next?” I ask my brother. “I don't know. Just try your best and I know you'll get far.” He says looking down at me. My brother is 6' 4” and I am 5' 6”, so he is always looking down at me. Once we get to the mall, about 2 body guards are there to protect my brother and I. I like seeing that so many people like me, but I don't like the fact that I have to have body guards protect me from them. The guards lead us to an empty store where I will be signing. It's only 9:30 and the signing doesn't start until 11:00. “I'm going to go shopping.” I tell the guards. They try to follow me but than I turn around and say, “No. I want to go with my brother.”. The guards stay behind as me and my brother walk to different stores. Each contestant gets $500 for the first 4 weeks. If you still are on after the 4 weeks, you get $800. My brother and I go to many stores. By 10:45 we are done shopping. I got a white pair of high tops, a pair of light blue jeans, tall brown UGG boots, and 3 One Direction books. I got my brother a batman tie, a hat, and some new Nike's. We walk back to the empty store with our Starbucks and sit behind the table. On the table are a stack of about 100 pictures of me, a cup of different colored sharpies, and jar of candy for my brother and I to eat. Under the table are about another 200 to 300 pictures. It's 15 minutes to 11 and there are already lots of people lined up. There's not 30 or 50. There's like 200 people waiting for the gate to open. I stand up on my chair, pull my phone out of my pocket, and take a picture of them. I sit back down and go on twitter. I haven't been on twitter in about a month because I've been so busy. I'm expecting like 5 new followers because that;s how many I usually get per month. Right as I go on I see that the connect icon has a blue dot. I go under and see that I have new followers. Last time I went on I had about 21 followers. I go to my page and see I have 2000 followers. “Shit!!” I say. “What?” my brother ask looking at my phone. “2000 followers!?” he shouts. I can't believe how many followers I have. I go back to connect and it says, “1989 followers in 18 hours.” More and more people start to follow me as the time comes closer to the signing. If only One Direction would follow me now. The gate opens and the people get in a line and scream. This is all so real. After about 100 signs, my hand hurts. Half the line is gone and I have another have to go. “You tired?” my brother ask. “Sorta.” I lied. I am actually really tired. Waking up at 7 am and sitting for 2 hours is tiring. I have a really crappy signature so I got to work on it today. I take pictures with about every 4th person. After another 2 hours, they line is almost gone. There are what looks like 7 more people in line. “Hi Mckenna.” one girl says. She sounds about 13 years old. I look up and notice her blonde hair first. She smiles at me. Something about her reminds me of Jessica. Actually everything does. She's wearing a Pokemon shirt, blue jeans, and white shoes. She even is wearing her 1D3D bracelet. The only thing that's different is that she has blue eyes and her skin is darker than Jessica's is. “Have a great day and enjoy the xfactor. Xoxo Mckenna.” I sign. After the next 5 people seem to take forever. After each signing I look down at my 'I Love Niall' bracelet. “What?” My brother ask. I feel an emptiness inside of me I haven't felt since 2012. “Nothing.” I say with a sigh. In 2012 before I knew One Direction, my life was different. I was a girl. I always had to force a smile. After I knew One Direction, that smile turned real. Ever since I left, I haven't had time for One Direction. I left my room full of posters behind and I don't have time to listen to music because I have to practice my own. One person is left. I look down at my wrist one more time as I hear an Irish accent say, “Hello Princess Mckenna”
