The Game Show Affect [†] Luke Hemmings

~1~

I walked along 59th street with my three best friends, Colton, Tyler and Parker, sucking on the lollipop that Parker had given me. Manhattan was an interesting city to say the least, but I'd much rather live in the warmth. I planned to move out to Adelaide, Australia with my older brother, Kian, once I graduated.

"Oh wow!" Tyler barked with laughter as we approached a both along the street. He picked up a paper and held it up to his face. "Hi or Hey Records' Chart Topping Band, Five Sauce Introduces a Game Show to Win the Chance to Party With the Four Hotties in Sydney Australia!"

I rolled my eyes and gagged, "Ew! Why do people like them? They're probably fake as shit." I ripped the paper from his hands and scanned it over.

One girl from sixteen destinations all across North America and Australia will be selected to spend three months in Rosewood, Au. Each week the boys will pick decreasing amounts of girls to stay in the house, based on personal voting. What a better way to kick of summer, than to have a party with the one and only Calum Hood, Michael Clifford, Luke Hemming's and Ashton Irwin, right?

Wrong, I rolled my eyes but giggled reading the fine print.

For Concerned Parents; No sex will be tolerated, boys will be housed separately. Touters will be provided. Any questions? Contact Amy Jones at Amy.Jones@hiorheyrecords.com.

I pointed it out to the boys and they scoffed. We have rather unalike humour. They were raised to be kept to themselves, where as I am hard to shut up.

"We should sign you up, Blakeley!" Colton cheered, rummaging through his bag for a pen.

"What? No way!" I argued. "Look, Cole, as big as that crush of yours on a certain pink haired boy is, I hate them."

"Shut up!" He hissed playfully, using Tyler's face as a table to write my name down. "Let's just fill it out with stupid and retarded answers! There'll be hundreds of girls signing up, so what's the chance of you being picked?"

Slowly, a crooked and mischievous smile spread across my lips and I agreed, "What's the first question?"

"What is your favourite show?" Parker read off.

I smirked, "None other than The Real Housewives of New Jersey, of Course."

"By mom!" I called out as she shut the door, and Parker, Colton and Tyler called out the same but calling her Miss. Mellet, instead. "Our horror movie marathon awaits."
I said darting down my apartment hallway and to my bedroom. I grabbed a pile of pillows, blankets, and my phone before skipping back down the hall. I popped in Stephen King's It, and rolled myself up in a blanket before lying on my stomach in the middle of the floor, while Parker and Tyler lied on the couch and Colton sat on my late aunts recliner that he has grown attached to.

As we got to the middle of the movie, the landline started to ring, causing Tyler to scream. Parker and I laughed at him, as Colton picked it up. I paused the movie.

"Uh... Blake? It's for you." He swallowed. I furrowed my brow but nodded for him to toss it to me. He tossed it gently.

"Is this Miss Blakeley Mellet?" A high pitched voice asked, causing me to wince. Her voice reminded me of Bernadette from The Big Bang Theory.

"I prefer Blake, but yes. This is she. May I ask who is calling?"

"I'm Amy Jones? Calling from Hi or Hey Records?" She explained. Hi or Hey Records? I don't even know an Amy Jones. "I'm calling to inform you that you are being flown out to Rosewood to take place in The First Seconds of Summer."

What the fuck.

"No, I can't. You don't understand. My friends, they signed me up as a joke. I'm not actually a fan-"

"You don't need to be a fan, silly." She peeped. "A car will be there tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock."

"Wait, Amy, no!" I cried out as the line went dead. I violently clicked end and calmly looked at the boys. They all paled. "I'm gonna fucking kill you!" I screamed before springing onto the couch. I straddled Colton first since it's his fault I agreed to this in the first place. "I HAVE TO SPEND THREE MONTHS WITH FANGIRLS!" I screamed as I was pried off of him and pinned to the ground by Parker.

"Oops?" Colton smirked.
