"Mama, I'm freaking out right now." I said into the phone as I neared the giant hotel, which was absolutely gorgeous, but what's to expect in LA? In less than ten minutes, I would be meeting the boys of my dreams. Who wouldn't freak out? Despite my sudden career change, I'm still a fan girl and a vlogger. Fame shouldn't be able to change someone, and I definitely wouldn't let it change me.

"Trust me, you'll be fine. I know you will." My mom said as the car came to a stop in front of the hotel. Getting out of the car, I allowed the butler to grab my bags. I was still on the phone, but neither of us were talking to each other. We were both quite nervous; it's a mother-daughter thing. Even from miles away, my emotions rubbed off on hers.

Once I was in the lobby, I was met by Daniel. Two weeks ago, he said he had news for me, good news I suspected because he was really perky.

Brushing off my cream Chanel tunic, I signed in and gave Daniel a hug.

"India, you made it!" Daniel said. I giggled and pulled away. Daniel had on a white OF shirt and khaki joggers. He was biting his lip to contain his smile.

"Of course! I wouldn't miss this," I gestured around the ginormous hotel, "for the world. So... you said you had news..." I started to make him finish. Daniel's face lit up like fireworks.

Daniel excitedly unlocked his phone and showed me a picture of a happy him and a very familiar girl with a messy bun and daisies in her hair...

"You and Courtney!" I exclaimed, my face growing hot. "Are you...?"

"Not yet." Daniel grinned, making me smile too despite the pit in my stomach. Why was I feeling this way?

I shook it off and said, "yet," while wiggling my eyebrows. Daniel tried to hide his blush by pushing me along.

"Enough of that, the guys are dying to meet you." I stopped him.

"Dude, I'm freaking scared. Don't forget, just over a month ago, I wasn't anything but a fan girl. Now, I have an entire album waiting to be released, a big fan base, expensive features, and a lot more money. Its just... everything happened so fast—"

"I get it." Daniel mumbled, his eyes locked on mine. His statement was genuine, since he went through something similar to me. Taking a deep breath, I followed Daniel to the suite. He walked in first, with me behind him.

"Okay, you guys, this is India—" Daniel started.

Everybody gave their scattered hi's and hello's, but I was standing there in complete and utter shock.

The Magcon boys were in front of me. All of them. But damn did this bring back the memories. The nostalgia in this room was strong. A lot of them have matured out if their viner ways, but that didn't change the fact that all of old Magcon was here.

"Well are you gonna say hi?" Matt asked, making me jump a little. When I realized I was standing there, I gave a smile.

"Hey. I'm sorry, I'm just—"

"INDIA!" Hayes yelled and tackled me in a hug. I groaned as I tried not to fall over under his weight and height. Hayes is like, eight inches taller than me.

"Why do y'all always do that?" I muttered in complaint.

"Ew, Hayes, she has a skirt on." Mahogany chided. I agreed with her and pushed Hayes off of me. Despite everyone looking in my direction, I felt eyes directly on mine. I could feel the judgmental eyes sizing me up, and it made me a little anxious. I dared to look over to see the owner of the piercing stare.
