The Mentally Brave

Chapter 20

Niall and I are stood with our eye glasses on our noses, VIP tags around our necks and suitcases in hand. Mine is a bright pink while Niall's a blue duffle bag. We are waiting at the airport, arriving early making it look as if we came in on a flight from the US. We found the bloke who is picking up all ten students, holding up a sign "Medical conference" Yeah right.

Apparently there was an earlier flight in last night, so some students where at the hotel already. We are supposed to go there now, refresh ourselves and then we'll be walked across the street to the compound.

I looked at Niall and he gives me a smile. Let the game begin.

We already know which hotel we'll be staying at since Harry Liam and Ed are already there in one of the Suites on the top floors.

Until now we all stayed at a rundown hotel a few blocks away, learning our surroundings, watching who comes in and out of the compound, but now that the week is starting Harry wanted to be as close to us as he can be.

The suite is registered under Ian Fyne so it won't be tracked back to their real names.

As we are let off in front of the hotel there is an Intern we watched come in and out Company X's compound.

"Hello students, my name is Michael and I'll be the one in charge of you the time you're here" He commands "So as you all know, there was a flight that came in yesterday. They are already sat up at this hotel. I'll give you your keys. You have two hours to get refreshed and unpacked. At 13:00 we will all meet right here and head to the conference. Any questions?" It is quite strange, him being in charge since he seems as young as us, with his longish hair, half blond half black looking sort of like a rock star more than an intern.

Michael hands the keys out by names. When it is my turn I make sure as Harry instructed not to touch him, or anyone who works for the company for that matter, since we don't know if any of them are like us.

"What room did you get?" Niall whispers as we wait for the lift.

"56 floor 7.. you?"

"58 floor 7.. good at least we're close"

The lift opens and we get in. With us the're a few students from the program.

"God I hate elevators" A girl says

"Sorry?" Niall turns to her

"Elevators? Don't like them" She repeats

I eye him. We worked on words like these, he shouldn't get confused.

We get out at our floor, Niall walks me to the door of my room.

"I'll fetch you when it's time to go" He says walking away.

I unlock the door and push it open, knowing this is going to be a long day. At least I know Harry will join me tonight. I walk in with a smile on my face to find the room already occupied by another.

"Hi there" A tale blond smiles at me.

"Hey" I smile back pulling myself together fast "I wasn't told I'll be rooming with someone"

"Oh.. well don't worry about it we're gonna have so much fun- I'm Taylor" She walks to where I am stood by the doorway, takes my bag from me and pulls me in.

"I'm L-Amanda" I say

"Where you from?" She sits the suitcase on the empty bed that must be mine.

"Um.. New York- long island"

"OMG that is so cool, I'm from Nashville"

"Nice, do you like it there?" I Question

"Yeah sure.. you have a weird accent for someone from NY" She glances at me as she picks out an outfit from the closet.
