Surprisingly, I'm the first one awake in the morning. I roll over to see Joey's face pressed against a pillow and smiling gently, I rise carefully. Stealthily, I maneuver to the bathroom, after snatching clothes, to change. Minutes later I walk out wearing simple jean shorts, a white tee shirt, my new Ravenclaw sweater and matching tie with my hair up in a bun at the top of my head.

In the bedroom, I find that both the boys are still sleeping. Fishing out my phone, I see text messages and upon opening them I find that everyone else is downstairs at breakfast wanting to know where my room was. I quickly respond saying I'm on my way, but the boys were still sleeping and scribbled out a note for my roommates.

Downstairs, I find all the other boys and Pat waiting in a lounge area. The guys were complaining loudly about wanting food while Pat was simply rolling her eyes at them.

"Morning y'all," I say lazily, sitting down between Matt and Dylan.

They look at me confused. "Wait. Sleeping Beauty was awake before Prince Charming and his sidekick?" I laugh and nod but then Darren continues off on his tangent. "Does he really have a second...?"

Nick, Darren, Matt and Eric turned it into an all out debate/ discussion while everyone else just sat there, confused. Soon enough, A.J. and Joey appear yawning. "Breakfast!" screeched Brian, leading the charge to the little restaurant.

"Good morning Charlie," Joey said as I dropped back to him and A.J. and Joey kissed me on the cheek.

"Morning," I responded, putting an arm around each of them.

"Why'd you let us sleep so long?" A.J. questioned smiling.

"First of all, I only woke up like fifteen minutes ago. Second because you guys looked so peaceful."

We all reached the breakfast place which was crowded. They had to split us up, five and five so Matt, Nick, Eric, Darren and Dylan took a booth on one side while Pat, me, and the other boys took a booth on the other side. We ordered and chatted about the upcoming boat ride.

"Are y'all excited about taking the boat trip to Alcatraz?" Pat asked us and I was bouncing up and down with excitement.

"Yes! I love boat rides! I've also never been to this side of the country before so I want to see the Pacific Ocean!"

"I think it'll be cool," Brian said. "There's so much history." I was nodding in agreement also.

"Didn't the actual prison close in the fifties?" A.J. asked.

"Nope! March of 1963 to be exact, after twenty nine years of operation." They just looked at me.

Pat laughed. "Definitely good casting." We all chuckled.

"In my defense, I did a project on Alcatraz in middle school." Joey was staring at me, suppressing laughter. I just stuck my tongue out.

"So what time are we going?" He simply asked Pat instead.

"Y'all've got the 10:30. I signed you up thinking you guys got breakfast before and were back in time for lunch. Also, if you wanted to leave right away, you'd make good time." We nod.

Finishing up, we met in the lobby with the other guys. Playfully joking and taunting one another, we left Pat and made our way to the shuttle bus. Sure there were other people on it but my dear friends; well most of them at least, treated it like we were all by ourselves.

Upon boarding the boat, I was bouncy once again. As it started moving, most of the guys were taking stupid selfies. Soon, I scrambled up towards the bow. I threw my head back and just smiled, letting the force of the wind push through me. I heard a chuckle and turned around. Brian was taking a picture. Laughing, I appointed him my official photographer.
