"Hello. I’m Emily. Welcome to the van. I will be your tour guide for today.” I said as Sophie filmed me on Brad’s phone.

We had taken his phone and were recording a video for his instagram, as he was asleep and we were bored.

I took the phone from Sophie and turned to record Brad.

“And here we have a sleeping Bradley. He can be rowdy if awoken unexpectedly so we must be quiet.” I said and stopped the clip.

Sophie broke into a fit of giggles and I elbowed her to get her to be quiet as I didn’t want to wake Brad. She covered her mouth with her sleeve to try and stay silent.

“Here is a rare breed of Iced Jems.” I said whilst recording James.

He looked up from his phone as he saw me, and stuck out his tongue.

I stopped the clip and turned to face Con, who was beside me.

“Finally, we have Condora the Explorer, who is better known as Davey Jones.”

I flipped the camera to the front view and filmed a tiny video of Sophie and I fist pumping to some music. I finished the video and published it to his instagram. It immediately got lots of likes and comments.

I put his phone back onto the table. I felt Connor poke me and I turned to him and raised my eyebrows.

“Do you want to play a game?” He asked me.

“Yeah sure what kind of game?” I asked back.

He showed me a collection of games for the xbox in the van, which belonged to him and James, and he recommended that we should play GTA VI, so I chose that one. I had heard of it and instantly recognized it as the menu came up. The aim was to basically steal cars. It was hilarious. I was crap at it and kept getting caught by the police but it was so much fun.

Just as I was about to reach the airport, Fin said that we were stopping off at a service station to get some food.

Connor turned off the game and put everything away. I grabbed my purse from my bag and put my phone in my pocket.

The van door slid open and Fin was standing there smiling. I tapped Sophie on the shoulder and she jolted up, and looked at me with sleepy eyes.

“Did you fall asleep?” I asked her.

“No…” She grinned at me.

I waited as she got her phone and purse and then we shuffled out of the van. I stretched as I got out and then we followed the guys to costa where we were going to get drinks and food.

I ordered a mocha Frappuccino and Sophie ordered a mango and passion fruit coulee. We then bought a chocolate brownie to share.

We all walked back to the van after buying supplies and reassembled into the van. Sophie and I tucked into our brownie and whilst we were eating it, Brad noticed the video that we made. He laughed at it and decided to keep it as it was funny.

Fin set off again and everyone settled down. Sophie and I carried on listening to her music and we took some paper from Brad’s lyrics book and some pens and doodled.

After we had completely filled the page with doodles I sighed and lent back in my seat.

“Now you see why we get bored, and I end up sleeping all the time.” Connor said to me.

“Yeah, alright.” I rolled my eyes at him.

“Sophie plleaseee can we skip this song” I pleaded.

“No I like it!” She said.

“What’s the song?” I heard James ask.

"It’s thunder by boys like girls.” Sophie responded.

“I love that song!” James smiled.

“I know. I don’t know how anyone could hate it…” She raised her eyebrows in my direction.

James laughed and then went back to doing his own things.

Everyone sat in a silence, for what seemed like eternity.

“Let’s play a game.” Said Tris, “Like ,20 questions.”

Everyone stopped what they were doing as they wanted to join in and I turned to face Tris.

“Okay so, I feel like we don’t know you two well enough,” Tris said, looking and Sophie and I, “So let’s just ask your guys some random questions.” He smirked.

“Are you single?” He grinned at me.

“Straight to the details then Tris?” I laughed.

“Why ever not?” He winked at me.

I tried to glare at him but I needed to keep a calm persona.

“Yes.” I said, as I caught Brad’s eye, making me blush.

“Yes...” Sophie said quietly, beside me.  

Tris went on to ask a variety of questions, some interesting and some boring and simple ones.

“Final question.” Tris started, “When was the last time you kissed someone.”

I saw Sophie squirm in her seat, and none of us said anything.

“Come on…” Tris said.

“Ummm like a week ago?” I mumbled.

“Sorry what was that Emily?”

“Piss off Tris.” I rolled my eyes at him.

James looked confused but said nothing of it and put his headphones in and carried on listening to music. Sophie did the same. I rolled over and lent on Sophie’s arm. She didn’t say or do anything and I poked her, which was one of my signs of asking for attention.

“What?” She asked me.

“Nothing…” I said.

I sat up but grabbed her phone and she squeaked as I put it up in the air so that she couldn’t reach it.

“Emiilyyy.” She moaned at me, “Give it back.”

I turned my back against her so as to block her from trying to grab it from me, and unlocked it to see what she was doing. I swiftly turned back to her, my mouth open with shock and I saw that she and James had been imessaging for almost the whole journey.

“Seriously?” I pondered.

“Well it’s not as if anyone else is trying to talk to me.” She mumbled and grabbed her phone out of my hand.

“I’m sorry.” I squealed and she smiled at me.

I shifted my weight on my seat and reached over the table for Brad’s phone. I clicked the lock button and saw that he was listening to the arctic monkeys.

“Good choice.” I grinned at him, and pointed to his phone.

He winked at me, and I felt my cheeks burning. I got out my phone from my pocket and scrolled through my pictures for like the sixth time today. I always did it when I was bored and didn’t have anything better to do. As I was about to go on tumlbr I heard a voice shout from the front of the van:

“We are here.”

I assume we had arrived at the hotel.
