I will be honest, I used to "hate" them.
I didn't hear about them from anyone specific, but just on the Internet. People started talking about them and I slowly figured out who they were, but I despised them because I thought they were just another typical boyband, but Justin Bieber wannabes. Whenever they were connected with something I liked, I'd narrow my eyes and mentally spit on them. (But I didn't send them or their Directioners hate - EVER. I'm not that kind of person. I give my honest and logical opinion, but never full-blown hate.)
You're probably hating me right now, right?
Well, somehow and for some odd reason I began to loosen up on them. I didn't despise them as much and didn't care if they were mentioned. They meant nothing to me.
Then in the school year of 2011-12 I met a girl named Maria who is now my ex best friend. She told me about them and said I should listen to them. (Along with Ed Sheeran and Cher Lloyd, who I both love now too.) I said I would, but I never really got around to it. I finally did near the end of the school year.
I don't remember the very first video I picked on YouTube, but I know the first song of theirs I got hooked on: Up All Night.
After that I would occasionally listen to them, but not a whole lot. But I did like them enough to annoy my mom with my constant talking about them. (^.^) And then it happened: my uncle and his girlfriend got me Take Me Home for Christmas of 2012. I was hooked after that. I looked them up, listened to their songs, ogled at pictures of them.
But I didn't become a Directioner until January 12 of 2013, Zayn Malik's twentieth birthday. (I didn't realize it was that occasion until I saw others were talking about it all over the internet.) And it was that night that I also "chose" my "favourite", even though his beautiful blue eyes and charming laugh and personality had been subconsciously beckoning me for months: Niall James Horan.
