Sydney's POV:

School, the place where anxiety starts. Luckily the bell just rang and it's the last day before Summer break. I walk to my locker, alone. I'm not popular but I have a few friends.

  I unlock my locker, and pack everything up, I close it and walk toward the buses.

"So what're you doing this summer?" My best friend Mia asks me.

"I don't know. I actually think my parents may be sending me to some Camp Rock spin off. It's by this band called 5 Seconds Of Summer. You?" I said to her.

"I'm going to Hawaii with Moises' family." She responds smiling. Moises is her boyfriend, but I personally don't like him.

"But you've only known him for two months!" I exclaim as I step on to the bus.

"I know, it's crazy, but we'll get to know each other in Hawaii and it's free! They're paying for everything." she says as we sit in the back seat.

"Well that's good for you, but I'm still stuck at some lame camp. By myself!" I say as the bus starts to move.

"Relax Sydney. I don't know if you've actually seen 5SOS before, but they're hot guys. And they're our age, they're like 18. " she says reassuring me.

"Who is this five sauce you speak of?" I say confused.

"5 seconds of Summer is 5 S. O. S you can either say SOS or you can say sauce. I just say sauce 'cause it's easier." She responds.

"Oh. At least I know one thing about them. " I say shrugging it off.

"There's lots of stuff you should know about them considering you're going to their camp. Do you know how many girls want to go there?" She asks me.

"Nope, and I honestly don't care. I'll listen to their album later. " I say standing up and getting off the bus at my stop. I walk for about five minutes and reach my house. I take out my keys and unlock the door, walking in and sitting my bag down.

"How was your last day of school?" My mom asks me.

"Good, considering it is the last day of school. " I say starting to go up the stairs.

"Oh good, go up to your room and start packing. You leave Monday. " my mom says walking into the living room.

"Wait, I seriously have to go to that stupid camp?"

"Yeah, I already paid. You'll like it I was reading about it today, it's completely music involved. " my mom says as I walk back down the stairs.

"Yeah because a freaking boy band runs it. What's next One Direction camp? Kill me now. " I say as I pivot on my heel and walk back up stairs. I reach my room and just lay down on my bed. I decide to actually listen to music so I start playing Green Day. After about three songs I realize I should start listening to 5SOS, so I change it and start playing their first album. I plug in some earbuds and pull out my suitcase from under my bed.

  After about an hour and a half of packing I decide to get into the shower. I've already listened to their album and now I'm listening to the Amnesia EP. I start the water and place my phone on the speaker before getting in. Daylight had just finished playing when I heard the starts of--they didn't. I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body before cleaning the mirror. By now the song is at the chorus, and here I am dancing and singing in the mirror.

Television dreams of tomorrow we're not the ones who are meant to follow for that's enough to argue

I'll have to admit they aren't bad, they're actually pretty good. They remind me a lot of one of my other favorite bands, All Time Low.

   I walk out of my bathroom and get changed in my PJ's, waiting for my mom to call me for dinner. But at 10:00 I realized she's never gonna call me so I walk downstairs and see her pigging out on pizza.
"Thanks for calling me. " I say
getting a slice from the kitchen.

"Sorry, I did but you must not of heard me. " she says as I sit next to her.

"Whatever. What's on tv?" I ask taking the remote to go to the guide.

"Ooh! Mean girls, yes please. " I say selecting it.

"Oh god not this again, I'm gonna go upstairs, bye. " my mom says leaving me downstairs. Alone at last. I kick out my feet and begin watching it.

It's officially Monday, the day I've been dreading. I wake up and walk downstairs to get breakfast.

"Morning, you excited for camp?" My mom asks me, a little too happy.

"Nope, not at all. " I say sitting at my spot at the table.

"Like I said before It'll be lots of fun. " she says taking a sip of her coffee.

"It won't but whatever. " I took a bite out of whatever was on my plate. When I finish I place my dish in the sink and walk upstairs. I get changed and grab my bags before walking downstairs to leave.

"Okay mom, I'm ready. " I say standing by the door.

"Okay let me get my keys then we'll be on our way. " she says walking over to the cupboard by the stairs. She grabs her keys out of the cup and I open the door. I walk to the car and get in.

"Let's do this. " I say as she starts the car.
.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.
Four hours later and we've arrived in Los Angeles. My mom goes to the camp grounds and parks her car. It's weird I was expecting a forest but no, it's a mansion with lakes, pools, and forests as the backyard. We walk over to the camper check in and my mom checks me in as I walk over to a girl about my age.

"So do you know who 5SOS is?" I ask her.

"Not really, my mom forced me to be here. " she responds.

"Same. I'm Sydney, your name is?" I ask extending my hand out.

"I'm Lauren. Nice to meet you. " she says shaking my hand.

"It's so nice seeing 5SOS Fams become friends. " A guy with blonde, brown hair and a bandana says putting his arms around us. He walks away quickly and I just look at Lauren.

"Who was that?" She says dumbfounded.

"Ashton. He's the drummer. " I say looking at her.

"I thought you said you don't know who they are. " she says.

"I don't  but I started listening to their music on the way here. They aren't bad, you know if you like Green Day or All Time Low. " I say.

"Oh, thank god, I thought they were gonna be like One Direction or something. I can't handle another boy band. " she says.

"That's what I said!" I exclaimed high-fiving her.

"Sydney, you'll be rooming with someone named Lauren. " my mom said walking over to me.

"Well then, let's go to our room!" I said taking my bags and walking with Lauren to our room.
