Out of the Crowd

Chapter 3: Finally Here

A/N: Hello, my lovelies! I just wanted to let you all know that this will be a story that I only write in my free time. This means I will not be updating as much, at least until I finish my other story, 'My Brother the Popstar.' After I finish that, though, I will be sure to put all of my attention on this story. In the meantime, be sure to check out 'My Brother the Popstar.'

Thanks, and remember, KEEP READIN! <3

~Mary's POV~

"Ugh, how inch longer until we get there?" I groan at Mia as she focuses on the road.

Mia rolls her eyes. "Mary, just go back to sleep, we'll be there in about half an hour."

"Fine." I mutter, laying my head back down. "But remember to wake me when we get there, don't forget like you did last time."

She chuckles from beside me. The last time Mia and I went on a road trip together, I fell asleep and she forgot to wake me up when we got there. She left me in the car by accident and I ended up staying the night there!

Slowly, I nod off, dreams of meeting One Direction floating in my head.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Mary? Mary, wake up, we're here!" I hear a distant voice say.

"Nooo..." I grumble, reaching up in search of a snooze button.

The supposed alarm clock giggles. "Mary, we're at the hotel! The same hotel One Direction are staying at!"

At this, I shoot up out of my seat. "WHUH? MAKE WAY FOR THE LEPRECHAUN LOVER!" I shout as I scramble out of the car. Mia is in hysterics.

"Seriously though, Mia, lets get checked in, then can we get some food?"

"Sure!" Miley replies. "Sounds good!"

We make our way into the hotel, and while Mia checks us in, I decide to have a look around.

The hotel is clearly five-star. It's no wonder the five boys are staying here. Over by the escalators there is a coy pond, with potted plants around it. The elevator (or lift, as I heard Brits call it) is glass, so that when you're going up, you can see below you. There is a sky roof at the very top of the building, giving the entire hotel the look of a sort of green house.

"Whoa." I whisper to myself.

"I know, right?" I strange voice says. It has some sort of accent, but I can't quite tell what it is. I think it may be british. I turn around to see a guy much taller than me, wearing a beanie on his head and some sunglasses over his eyes, grinning down at me.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" He says, coming to stand next to me. "Yeah," I breathe. "It really is." The guy grins again, and I realize I should probably introduce myself.

"I'm Mary, by the way." I say, sticking out my hand.

"Mary, that's a pretty name. So what brings you here?"

"Oh," I say, grinning sheepishly. "I'm kind of here to see this band I like, One Direction." The guy stiffens. "U-oh, really?" He stutters. "I'm here with my friends on vacation."

I nod. "Cool." Though I don't know why anyone would come to North Carolina on vacation.

"Hey!" A group of 4 other guys shout to us.

The guy turns around and gives them the 'in a minute' sign, then turns back to me.

"Well, I guess that's my que." He says, turning around to face me. "It was nice meeting you, Mary!'
