We had the full day to ourselves. Well at least that’s what Nico told us, Carmel told us we were going to a hotel for 2 days. I for one was shocked because we all know we don't leave unsupervised teenagers in one hotel room. They could wreck the entire room! Orrr they could wreck eachother wink wink but we're not like that.

Our plan was that Carmel would leave us all at our places and we would pack for the trip. That's exactly what we did I packed my stuff and was ready to go. Carmel picked me up first since I packed the earliest. We picked up the two girls and we were off.

The hotel was an hour away but we had to add traffic so the trip was 2 hours. I was listening to music when all of a sudden Ley grabbed one of my earbud's out of my ear. She whispered "Can I listen with you I'm getting bored of hearing these two talking" I agreed and she put one of the earbuds in. We both listened for quite some time and suddenly she scooched over to me and leaned on my shoulder. Ley had the tired expression and I just let her sleep on my shoulder. (Little did I know what was going to happen soon.)

I took the earbud out of Ley's ear when I heard her snore softly and put it back in the case.

An hour into the trip Carmel told me that if I could sleep I should sleep because traffic's gonna be 30 minutes more I didn't sleep because for one there's a girl on my shoulder, and two he's probably gonna fall asleep with us and crash. I told Carmel one and two. He responded with "ok keep me company then" in a challenging tone. I told Carmel that Ley was asleep and he told me that Nico was also asleep so it was a boy's ride which was going to be loud. Me and Carmel agreed not to talk to eachother because we were careful not to wake the two girls up.

Finally after a long trip we were at the hotel, Carmel told me that Nico paid for the trip with our band funds since we had quite a lot. Me and Carmel woke the two girls up and Ley woke up smiling at me, they both fixed their hair and got out of the car.
