20th of November, one day before the concert.

"What? They're sending you to the One Direction concert and getting you to interview them?" Mia gasps as I pour out my story to her over the phone.

"Yup. So I guess I am going to the concert now." I reply.

"Wow, thats going to be awkward. For them, not you! You have nothing to feel bad about Aria! They're the ones who wouldn't talk to you!" Mia says and I smile.

"I guess, I'm up in the front row so I'm not going to be hard to miss." I reply.

"Hey, Aira, I have a great idea." Mia gasps, sounding like she's had an epiphany on the other end of the phone.

"Yeah, what is it?" I ask her.

"Ok, I wanted it to be a surprise, but I've just landed in Auckland!" she says.

"Really? Oh my gosh! Come stay at my place! So was that your plan? Cause it didn't really sound like one." I reply.

"I'd love to stay! But no, thats not the plan! I'll be right over to explain everything to you!" Mia chuckles.

"Ok! I'll see you in a few! I can't wait to hear what this plan is." I say, and end the call, placing my phone on my kitchen counter.

I was loving my apartment, it was awesome, with high ceilings, comfy couches, a spa, and more, what else could a girl want?

I head over and flop onto one of my black leather couches switching on the plasma t.v on the wall. I flick through a few channels and settle on watching One Day, on the movie channel.

About halfway through the movie my apartment doorbell rings and I fling open the door to find Mia grinning at me, her light wavy brown hair pulled up into a loose bun, wearing a light green sundress and black cardigan with a pair of black stilettos.

"ARIA!" she squeals, engulfing me in a huge hug.

"MIA!" I squeal back, happy to see my best friend, who I hadn't seen in person since her visit in June.

"Come on in!" I say as she strides inside, her heels clicking against my light wooden floor.

"Ahh, I missed this place so much! The last time I stayed here was when you had just moved in!" Mia sighs, leaving her suitcase by the door as she takes a seat on one of the barstools up against the kitchen counter.

"Yeah, that was fun! So hows your degree going?" I ask her, putting the jug on.

"Great! Only one more year of study after this one! And then I'm out!" she chuckles.

"Good for you!" I reply happily, making two cups of coffee.

"And how are you? Miss deputy editor for one of the hottest teen magazines ever?" Mia asks.

"Great! I'm doing what I love!" I reply.

"And getting a lot of cash too!" Mia adds, looking around my lounge.

"I guess you can say that!" I laugh, and hand her a coffee.

"Oh, thanks! You're such a sweetie Aria!" Mia says gratefully, taking a sip as I sit down in the barstool next to her.
