It's Friday night and you are so tired after school. you just want to go to sleep and not wake up again until this Sunday. But when you lie in bed and almost asleep, you are getting hungry .So you get up and go to the kitchen. You are alone at home,so before you do anything to eat,you turn on the TV at a low volume. As usual,it's music on the TV and you start singing along to the songs.
You go and sit on the sofa to eat your food there and it goes to commercial on TV. You get annoyed but the remote is to far away so you sit and watch commercials instead. After a while, you are finished with your food and you take your plate and glass to the kitchen while the TV is still running on the slightly higher volume. You hear that there will be news on the TV soon but you just ignore it. But you hear a voice on TV say that in 2 days the British/irish boyband One Direction will come to your city.
You start thinking about the guys that you have not seen for more than 3 years. You knew them before they became known from the xfactor. But, you had not met Niall correctly until the farewell party for the guys before they went on tour.
You really liked him, he was a funny, caring and friendly man with the coolest accent!

You knew Harry from preschool, and he was one of your best friends before.
You did everything together, and Harry knew you better than you did. once he had fixed you up on a date with one of his other friends, it ended up with you dated him for 1 year and then both of you felt
that you have outgrown each other. You had known Liam a long time to, but not as long as Harry. But Liam was there for you every night after your father died of cancer. He almost lived in your house for a few months and you loved him for it.
You and Zayn did not know each other so well. You had met him a few times and each time he had been nagging about mirrors. You knew when you met Zayn, you must have a mirror on you, because if he has forgotten his, he will become crazy.Your mom and his mom were best friends when they were smaller. They did not associate so much longer, but were talking on the phone sometimes.

Louis and you knew each other too well. You met for the first time out at a bar in central London. You thought he was the guy who stood out the most in the croud. So, you were automatically drawn to him. You had done this and the other with each other but then you decided to just be friends. Which actually was a good choice because you were so good friends that people thought you were together. It could be good sometimes and not so good at other times. But you liked Louis, you were good friends before he traveled on tour with the other guys.

You thought long and hard about whether you should pick up the phone and see if you still had any of the guys' numbers. After a bit of making up your mind, you took the cell phone out of your pocket, looked for Harry's number and found it. But you were not sure whether that would be the right Harry. But you texted the number. And you wrote
"Hey H, How are you? I just saw on TV that you will return to London in 2 days. If you would like to make up for some time, please call or text me! Xx - Cloe"

after some time your phone vibrated and you were surprised.
You picked it up out of your pocket and read the text you got, it said
"Hey C! It's great with me and the other guys, they greet! So nice to hear from you and I would love to meet you when we get to london but we 'll see how it will be because we are very busy. But I text when we're in London then we can see what happens! xx - H "

You were disappointed, you had never received a response like that from Harry before. But you realized that you were tired, so you went back to bed, put phone on charge and went to sleep..

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt.


I just love this words, they are such an inspiration!
