~Mariah's P.O.V.~
"Harry, I'm going to count to 5. You better be opening this door by the time I say 5 or you will suffer," I shout through the door, actually serious.
"1...2...3...4...5," I'm saying the last number as the door starts to open.
Harry walks through and glares at me. "You are way too much like my mother."
"Exactly, what would you do without me?" I smirk and then begin to walk down the hall.
He narrows his eyes. "Ha-ha. That's hilarious."
"Yeah, what's also hilarious is that Zayn finished getting ready 10 minutes before you," I tease Harry as I start running down the stairs.
He complains when he sees me taking the steps, but he follows me anyway.
Today One Direction is going on an interview. I'm supposed to go with them, but I don't have to actually do anything, thank goodness.
Harry and I reach the car where all of the boys are anxiously awaiting our arrival. I climb into the driver's seat and begin to drive.
I prefer doing the driving since, from what I've heard, there aren't very many good drivers in the band. And anyway, they have to drive on the opposite side of the road then they're used to, so I'd rather not risk it. I remember how concentrated Liam had to be that time he drove, and the other boys don't exactly have as much of an attention span as Liam does, let's be honest.
It's about a 20 minute drive to the TV set and studio. We talk about some movies we want to see and things that we have to do, so the car ride passes pretty quickly. Or at least until we're almost there, it did. Then we got lost.
"Mariah, you're supposed to turn left on this street!" Harry says hurriedly after I switch my right blinker on.
"Um, no, I know where I'm going."
"No, it's a left, I'm sure!" Harry's distressed tone insists.
"Whatever," I say annoyed while I switch to the left blinker. "We have some time to spare, so you'll see."
I glance in the mirror, and sure enough, Harry is making faces at the back of my head.
"Harry, I know you're making faces." The boys all erupt into laughter, but I continue talking. "Stop and tell me where to turn next, know-it-all."
"Okay, now you take a right. Then on the next intersection you continue straight."
We're silent as I follow his directions. The boys in the back are all peering over seats to get a look at the surroundings outside of the car.
Harry starts talking again, smug this time. "Now you take a left, and continue and we'll be there!"
The blinker is the only sound in the car as I take a left, continue down the road, and then stop. At a dead end.
Niall is the first one to break the silence and start snickering, but soon the other boys - except Harry, of course - laugh with him.
"I-I swear that was the way -" Harry falters, confused.
I go in reverse to back out of the dead end and then turn around. Soon I lead the car to where I was previously taking a right turn before, and this time I do steer the car in that direction.
