"Ughhhh" I moaned, as my alarm went off. I searched for my phone under my pillow, and saw that it was 5:30am. "5:30?" I thought to myself. Then I remembered. This wasn't another day of school, this was the FIRST DAY OF THE X FACTOR TOUR! I got up out of my bed as soon, as I realised, and went to take a quick shower. My mum, dad and 11 year old brother Jamie were fast asleep. I dont know why, but I liked the thought of being the only one awake in the house. It made me feel.. mature or something. I dunno. 

The hot water burned my back as it sprayed from the shower head. I turned the cold tap to the right a little, and the water turned to a nice lukewarm kind of warm. I couldnt stay in the shower too long, because the tour bus was meant to leave at 7:15, and it was already about 6 now. 

I decided to get out of the shower after only about 3 minutes of washing my body and hair. I have this thing about me, where I can't be late. It's like this pet peeve of mine. 

I shivered as I ran from the bathroom to my bedroom in my towel. The water dripped from my hair down my back, which made me shiver even more. 

I quickly blow-dried my hair, and put on a pair of skinny jeans, a cream t-shirt and my leather jacket. I decided to wear uggs too. I didn't want to get too dolled up this early in the morning, especially since I'm only getting on the bus, but I did want to put on a bit of makeup, seeing as I'd never met the contestants before. I just put on a bit of powder and mascara. I topped it off with clear lipgloss. 

After waiting for about 30 minutes, I lugged my pink suitcase down the stairs of our apartment. It was a really poor kind of building, and the lift always broke down, which is a bad thing for us, we're on the 7th floor. 

I stopped on Floor 4 to catch my breath. I also remembered I had to collect my best friend Ellie first. She was a dancer in the tour aswell. She was already waiting outside her door on Floor 3 for me. We walked outside together.

It was quite cold outside. "Lucky I brought a nice warm hoodie with me." I thought. 

"So, are you nervous?" Ellie asked me.

"Not so much...you?" I replied. 

"Not really, just a bit." 

"Same." I said, as the bus pulled up outside our hotel. It was earlier than expected, so me and Ellie were only waiting for a few minutes. 

We got on the bus, and as I walked down to the back with Ellie, I spotted the most gorgeous looking boy I have EVER seen. He had messy brown hair, and brown eyes. He was wearing tan chinos, and a blue and white striped t shirt. Now, with my luck, something had to happen. I always make a fool of myself in front of handsome boys. I tripped over another contestants duffel bag, and fell. Right on my face. 

"Oh my God are you okay?" said the gorgeous guy, looking really worried somehow.

"Uh yeah I'm fine." I answered, with an awkward, fake laugh at the end. 

"I'm George." he smiled, putting out his hand for me to grab.

"I'm Ashley.." I replied with a smile, and began to walk down the aisle passed George.

"Mind yourself walking down there, you dont want to kill yourself." he giggled, and I could almost hear him winking.

"Ha Ha Ha. Very funny." I called back, laughing. 

Ellie had been talking to another boy the whole time. She didnt even see me fall. 

"This is Josh." she said, pointing at another handsome boy with a quiff.

"Hello" I smiled, and he did the same. 

"Ellie why dont you sit beside me for the journey?" he asked her. 

Ellie looked at me as if to ask my permission. 

I just nodded. 

I walked back down the aisle and sat beside George, who was listening to his earphones. I pulled one out. 

"My best friend has ditched me for Josh, so I guess I'm sitting beside you for the trip." I said giggling. 

He nodded. For some reason, I felt as if I could say anything to him. I didn't even know his second name, but he just made me feel comfortable. 

"Do you like this song?" he asked smiling, handing me one of the earphones. 

"Live it up" by Tulisa played.

"This is my FAVOURITE song!" I shrieked. 

"Me too! I thought I was like the only one who liked this song." he laughed. 

He was so perfect. His cheekbones, his eyes, his lips, his everything. Was just flawless.
