I had showed him where Sapphire and Kenzie had been, and they had invited us on tour for the summer. Apparently, the two had won a contest. We were gonna be away for at least three to four months- NYU's spring and summer.

Lynn, Kenzie, Sapphire and I were on our way to Australia with four boys, and I was pretty sure that two of the boys had a thing for Lynn, my sister, and my best friend, Sapphire. And Kenzie liked one of them. The oldest one, and weirdest, too.

We stopped for the day and spent the night in a hotel called Double Tree. Two to a room was the hotel policy, unless any others were under the age of eighteen. On the way to the fifth floor, in the elevator, Luke and Sapphire were making out. Seriously? I thought, You met less than an hour ago!

I bet Sapphire's gonna end up pregnant. But if Sapphire does, that means Lynn will, too. The always do everything together. Well... Not everything. At least, I hope not.

And then, out of the corner of my eye, I see Michael poke Lynn, and Lynn turn around, mad. And then Michael kisses her, and a smile flashes on her face, yet she turns around again. He pokes her again. I look away.

I turn and stare at Kenzie, wrapped in Ashton's arms, smiling. That's the happiest I've ever seen her. Ashton pecks the top of her head. I see his lips close to her ears and moving, but its too quiet for me to hear. She laughs, and I can't help but wonder, what did he say?

I look at Calum standing next to me, and he's staring at Kenzie and Ashton, too. I think I know who my roommate is, whether I like it on not. Well, it's Calum Hood. What's the worst thing that could happen?

Shouldn't have asked. Shouldn't have asked. I went to the cafeteria to get breakfast for both of us, and when I came back in, Calum was in his underwear and singing Blank Space by Taylor Swift while dancing around the room and jumping on the beds.

While part of me wanted to laugh, the other part of me wanted to scream. And I did. Not ear-piercing- like I wanted to- just loudly, and at him.

"What the hell are you doing?! You're almost twenty years old! You're acting like a two year old!"

"Huh?" He says. He stops singing, dancing and jumping and sits on the bed. "What did you say?"

"I said," I say. "That this is gonna be the longest summer of my life."

"Why?"

"Look in the freaking mirror."

"Why? Is it me? What did I do?"

"Nothing, Calum. Nothing."

Calum sighs. "No, really."

I wanted to stab him, to tell him that all he had to do was be there to ruin everything. Because honestly, I thought it was true. Who could put up with an idiotic teenage boy like Calum? Obviously, I didn't even know my own abilities. Apparently, the answer was me. Me, me, and only me. That is, for now, at least. Unless you only wanted a boy toy. He seemed to be extremely good at that.

I am re-writing this, okay, and publishing every re-written part I get done, but I would like to tell you guys thank you for everything you do for me and for my stories. I will be trying to re-write my stories from the beginning due to the extremely small lengths, but they will get longer eventually. Thank you for helping me through this and for being there every step of the way, even when things steeped slow and we all wanted to give up.

Please, Vote**Comment**& Leave Feedback**!! I love you guys.
