Marina's POV

Somehow even with our budget and Josie and Nessa managed to purchase orchestra seats- not to mention pure luck. The three of them were so excited and they showed it, too.

"Nessarose Dubois, Scarlett Bryne, and Josie Sosa!" I yelled. "Get ahold of yourselves NOW. It hasn't even started, yet!"

"Geez!" Nessa complained. "What a kill joy!"

"No kidding." Josie muttered in agreement.

"Come on and have some fun. This isn't a classroom!" Scarlett told me, throwing her arms up into the air.

"I don't have a problem with you guys having fun, but I have a problem when my ears don't work properly." I argued. "And I-"

The lights went off. A thundering voice came through the speakers saying, "One Direction in three, two, ONE!"

Girls started screaming like mad and I clasped my hands to my ears. Never in my life had they hurt so much. When I had finally gotten my bearings I looked up at the stage and nearly fainted. Liam?

---

Whenever I saw Liam scan the perimeter I hid behind Nessa. A catchy tune started to play and Liam started it off with a solo. It was quite nice until Scarlett murmured, "he's staring at you."

As soon as she said it Josie and Nessa started cracking up and I felt a blush coming over me.

"Seriously guys?!" I half whispered, half yelled.

"I've tried playing it cool," Liam sang cooly, still staring at me. "But girl when I'm looking at you. You keep making my week, yeah, frozen and can't breath."

The lads continued to sing until it was finished. Then for a brief moment Liam looked at the blonde lad who nodded. "How 're yeh likin' it?" The blonde yelled into the microphone, working the crowd with his Irish accent.

"All right!" The boy with the quiff said cheerfully. Now each of us lads are going to a girl to take with us on stage and then receive a VIP tour with us after the concert. Sound good?"

Liam drifted towards me, holding out his hand for my to grasp. Oh, no.

"Liam, please." I begged, giving him what I thought was puppy dog eyes.

He let out a good-hearted laugh. "Don't worry- they'll love you." Liam told me firmly and I grasped his hand.

He pulled me up. At first I was blinded by bright lights, but my eyes quickly adjusted.

The lad with the quiff decided to bring up a Scarlett, who was appalled. A pretty girl with short, cropped brown hair was brought up by the blonde boy. Nessa was thrilled when the boy in strips held his arm out like a gentleman for her. Then Josie nearly fainted when the boy with curly hair chose her over all of the others.

The boy with curly hair took a deep breath then said, "would you, lovely ladies, mind telling us your names?"

Josie swayed back and forth nervously. "Josie," she managed to say.

"Olivia." The girl with short, black hair said clearly.

Nessa twirled her hair around her finger before saying, "Nessarose."

"I'm Scarlett." Scarlett said, smiling ear to ear.

Then it was my turn. "Marina," I stuttered.

"Thank you. We'll be seeing you shortly." Liam winked at me. Then all of the girls, myself included, waited behind the stage for the concert to finish.
