Chapter 5

"Avery, you have a advertising meeting today."

"Ugg, fine." I groaned and hopped out of the car, immediately being ushered to the top floor of the huge, glass building. Then shoved me into the conference room and I looked at the front of the room to see what product my management dedicated me to this time.

Take A Stand, Lend A Hand

Anti bullying? Hell yes! Finally a good thing that I believe in strongly!

I smiled and looked down a the table of people, and was shocked to meet eyes with my five best friends.

"Oh my god!" I squealed and pulled Harry and Louis into a hug first. Then Liam and Niall, and finally Zayn. “Are you guys going on this campaign too?"

"Yep!" Liam smiled and I jumped up and down in excitement.

"Oh my god, this is great." I mocked his twit cam moment and everyone laughed.

"Okay, shall we get started?" the big man at the front of the room smiled and we all sat down. “Okay, so our team has asked you guys to go on our Take A Stand, Lend A Hand Campaign Tour. Your managers approved and you will be taking the next month to tour America and share your childhood stories with teenagers."

I smiled and clapped to myself. He called a lunch break and I went to find John so we could go out somewhere. I was walking through the corridor when Zayn jumped out from behind the wall and tackled me in a hug.

"What the hell?" I whispered and wiggled out from under him.

"Hello."

"May I repeat; What the hell?!"

"Are you excited for the tour?" he asked as he stood up, then held his hand out for me. I gratefully took it and straightened out my dress.

"Yes, I can’t wait to share my stories with the kids."

"Me too, I have lots." I looked up and him, surprised and we started to explore the halls side by side.

"Do you?"

"Yea, a lot of racist kids, not the most fun experience."

"Well you sure showed them, look at you now." I giggled and he smiled down at me. “I, uh, I was made fun of because of my weight. I was the obnoxious, chubby girl in the front of the class that everyone used for a laugh."

"Seriously?" he stopped walking and I shrugged.

"Yea, I brushed it off like it was nothing, but it was… everything." I sighed and looked around where we were. “Where are we?" I chuckled.

"Um, a glass building?" Zayn smirked and I rolled my eyes, grabbing his hand and pulling him back to the conference room with me.

"Hey Avery?" 

"Yea?"

"The boys were just joking about the ‘hot tease’ thing, I-I didn’t say that."

"Alright." I smirked and walked ahead of him.
