Yep. On fucking accident.

Now, I’m not a fan of their music. It’s alright, I guess. But here’s how the story went:

I was working at Six Flags Magic Mountain here in Southern California in the games department. I was at the outdoor free-throw game, Shoot The Hoop.

I’m just minding my own business, trying to ignore that I have already heard The Scorpions’ “Rock You Like a Hurricane” 4 times today, when suddenly, a group of guys approaches me. They’re all relatively cute from a distance, for the record.

And then they got right up to me. AND OH MY GOD, THEY’RE ALL FUCKING GORGEOUS. They look SO MUCH BETTER in person than they do on tumblr. Like, fuck, I was so tempted to low-key flirt, but, then it would have been awkward. 

AND THEN THEY OPENED THEIR MOUTHS, and out came the most adorable accents I’ve heard in person. It was just too damned cute. I was totally on the one guy’s nuts, the cute one with the innocent smile that tumblr has a major boner for?

We talked a bit, about how we mutually hate basketball, them claiming “because we’re British.” They actually ended up winning a shit ton of prizes.

Anyways, so come my break time, I walk back to my lead to get a new game, when my coworker, Quetzaly, FREAKS OUT and starts in my face like, “DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT WAS?!?!” And I just was just pokerface.jpg. She proceeded to tell me (very excitedly) that those cute British guys were One Direction.

I was like Nawwww these guys are better looking than that tumblr band. Turns out, I was wrong.

They left the games area before I could get an autograph, just to have Emily’s brain explode.

So, that’s my accidental celebrity story.
