"Flight 213 to Miami, Florida will now be boarding." I hear over the loud speaker as I remain sitting, waiting for Cameron to return from getting us some snacks to take onto the plane.

"God, where is he?" I say softly to myself, scanning the scenery all around me.

"Right here." I hear him laugh and turn around to see him with a white paper bag in his hands with 2 water bottles under his arm.

"I was afraid I'd have to leave without you." I joke grabbing a water from him. I look at the bottle and it was my favorite. "Fiji? How'd you know?"

"I didn't. It's the only water I drink." He says, plopping the mysterious, white bag onto my lap.

I look inside and grin.

"Candy?" I giggle and hand the bag back to him as I stand up to begin boarding the plane.

"Sorry, I'm a child at heart." He shrugs adorably and pops a blue jolly rancher in his mouth.

I grab my suitcase and roll it behind me and begin walking in front of him.

"Yeah, only at heart." I remark to myself laughing under my breath.

I feel a slap on my a**, followed by a squeeze, causing me to jump. Quickly turning around to see Cameron smirking at me.

"I heard that." He continued to smirk and walked ahead of me as we boarded the plane.

What the hell is this boy doing to me?

•~•~•~•

The air plane finally takes off after about 15 minutes of waiting in pure frustration at Cameron's constant need to touch me in some way. From resting his hand on my thigh, to grabbing my hand, and to even resting his head on my shoulder as a joke. He was annoying but I had to give it to him, he was pretty adorable at being annoying too. Does that even make any sense?

"So... Tell me about these friends of yours." I sigh trying to smile and lighten my mood.

"Well what do you wanna know?"

"Well we have a 5 hour flight so anything and everything you can tell me." I shrug.

"Well there's 10 of us total. As I know of I mean. There might be some other guys who join us this time around on tour."

"What's their names?"

"Well there's me, Nash, Matthew, Jack G, Jack J, Aaron, Shawn, Hayes, Taylor, and Carter. Carter might be kicked off the tour though and replaced with his ex."

"Ooo sounds interesting. Why? What happened?"

"Long story short, Carter tried forcing somewhat, his ex, Maggie into having sex with him but she's only 16 and he's 19."

"Woah. So Maggie might be taking his place?"

"yeah"

"Why? Is she famous for something?"

"Besides being beautiful? She sings a little and does other YouTube videos."

I get taken back a little when I heard him say she was beautiful. It kinda annoyed me to think of him thinking anyone else was beautiful. Really stupid of me, I know.

It was silent between us for another 5 minutes till I had the guts to finally ask something I've been wondering about for a while now.

"So why is everyone saying we're dating?"

I watch his face look up from his phone and stare straight forward, almost as he was embarrassed to look at me when he gave me an answer.

He takes a deep breath and finally turns to me. "You're mom thought it would be a good publicity stunt to say that you and I are dating. It'd bring more attention to both of our careers and the tour."

"But I haven't even met you till yesterday..."

"I know, but I can't say I disagree with them. It is a good idea. Have you even taken a look at how many followers you've been gaining lately though?"

I shake my head no and he holds up his phone with my profile pulled up. I had 2 million followers now?!

"Wow. I didn't think you were that famous." I say shocked and laugh a little.

"Ha! Thanks a lot!" He rolls his eyes and laughs.

"You know what I mean!" I continue to laugh.

"I do? Hmph. Never knew that..." he jokes sarcastically.

"Smart a**." I laugh and hit him playfully on the shoulder.

•~•~•~•

The plane finally lands, and by the second hour into the flight, Cameron fell asleep on my shoulder and it was adorable. I didn't disturb him the whole flight but I guess now I have to.

"Cameron?" I shake his shoulder and he peeks open his eye.

"You sleep on me, I sleep on you. Now we're even." he chuckles as he stretches and I couldn't help but giggle.

We stand up and retrieve our carry-on bags from the above compartment and exit the plane.

"You have to hold my hand when we get out into the airport." He says down to me.

"Why?"

"There will be fans waiting for us and they need to see us as a couple."

"How do they know what flight we were on?"

"I can never understand how myself, but a few almost always do."

"I wonder if any of them are my fans." I joke honestly.

"I'm sure there are gonna be quite a few." He says seriously, confusing me.

"I was kidding..."

"I wasn't. Look at you. You're way more famous than I am."

"How do you figure?!"

Before we could argue any further, we begin to hear screams as we come through the doors opening up to the airport. About 50 screaming girls and a couple relaxed, but excited guys are being held back by metal gates and 2 security guards who are present. Cameron grabs my hand quickly, making me jump, but I am immediately overwhelmed by the feeling of butterflies in my stomach. I look up at him and he had a similar expression on his face as well. Maybe he felt what I did... nah. What am I thinking?

"Selena! Over here!"

"Cameron, I love you!!!"

"Please! Can I have a picture?!"

"I ship it!!!"

Those are just somethings I'm able to make out through the screams of them all.

"What do we do?" I whisper-shout into his ear feeling a little uneasy, unable to release my tight grip of his hand.

"Meet them all. Make them happy. Enjoy it!" He let's go of my hand and sets down his suitcase and walks over to a group of fans screaming his name obnoxiously.

I take a deep breath to take it all in before I walk up to any of the screaming girls. Is this a new chapter of my life?
