Ava's POV

I'm near the back of the line heading up the stairs. "What room are we going to?" Carter asks. "How about mine?" Jacob says. "I share a room with Mahogany, Carter, and Matt." We agree and head up to their room (305). I lean over to Mahogany and whisper "JOX is real." She laughs really loud and all of the boys look back and I blush.

I get up on the bed with Mahogany and Shawn. I crawl over into Shawn's lap and notice Cameron looking over at us 3. He probably likes Mahogany. Oooh. Shawn wraps his arms around my stomach and I lean up against his chest. Only then do I realize everyone is looking at us. "What?" I ask. Everyone just shrugs.

Of course us being the stupid teenagers we are, we decide to play truth or dare. Carter asks Jacob first. He chooses dare. "I dare you to go smack Bart with some type of liquid stuff on your hand." We all go "ooh." And Jacob makes a sour face and gets whip cream from down in the lobby. As we're walking back up, Bart comes down the stairs and Jacob lightly smears the whip cream on Bart's hair. The rest of us dash up the stairs.

We get into the positions we were in before and act all innocent as Jacob walks back into the room and straight to the bathroom. He walks out and sits down. "Dude! What was Bart's reaction?" Matt asks. "Um he was pretty pissed. He said that we need to keep it to ourselves. So I don't think we should pull any more pranks on him." His face turns sad and he quickly perks up.

"Nash Truth or Dare?" Nash thinks. "Truth." Jacob has to ponder a bit and he's taking forever. "What was your exact thought when you first saw Ava?" Oh shit. I keep my cool and Nash rolls his eyes. "Seriously? Fine. I thought she was super cute but she probably has something with Shawn." My eyes are slightly larger than normal and I quickly regain myself and say "Shawn and I aren't together." I surprise myself and apparently everyone else in the room.

"You guys totally act like a couple." Carter says. We do? Huh I guess. "Nope. We're just best friends. He's always there for me and vice versa." I flash a smile at Nash. Shawn looks a little hurt but it's too discrete for anyone to notice but me. I stay in his lap and scooch closer to him. He smiles. "Well this is awkward. Let's continue." Matt says.

"Shawn Truth or Dare?" Nash asks. "Dare." Shawn says with an evil grin. "I dare you to go skinny dipping tonight at 12 after the pool closes." Everyone stops having their side conversations and stares at Shawn. Then I start laughing so loud and fall off the bed with a thud. They laugh at me and Cam asks "Why are you laughing so hard?"

I laugh again and reply "Well it just reminded me of the time that when we were about 12 years old." Shawn looks at me firmly and shakes his head no, but I continue. "Shawn and I were at his house and his mom walked in on him taking a shower while I was in his room playing with Legos. I heard a shriek and a 'Mom! What are you doing!' And after that I think he's been a little chicken to do anything without clothes." I laugh again and so does everyone else.

Shawn is laughing at me and he picks me up and puts me back on his lap. "I accept the dare Nash." He grins. I look at him and he smiles. "Ave, Truth or Dare?" I roll my eyes. "Truth." He looks around at everyone and they all focus on us. "Who do you think is the best looking guy here?" I think for a second. And I know if I say him everyone will tease me for it. But it is true. I look at him and say "Shawn or Cam." Everyone goes 'ooh.' I look at Shawn and he's smiles a little but I can tell he's looking at Cam. I flash him the cheesiest smile just to see him actually smile back.

We go on playing for about another 2 hours until I whisper into Shawn's ear "Will you ask them if they want to go sight seeing? I'm also pretty hungry. So that'd be nice." He looks at me and whispers in my ear while no one is looking. "Why don't you ask them, it's your idea." I give him the Really Shawn, Really look. "I just don't really know any of them yet. Please just do it?" I say which comes out as more like a question. He sighs. "Fineee." I smile. "Hey, guys do y'all want to go look around Dallas today?" "YEA!" Everyone choruses. So it was settled.

We all go to our rooms to get our phones, wallets, etc. I run and do a cool somersault spy move over the bed onto my side. I grab my phone, and $75. I pop a piece of gum in my mouth and offer it to Hayes, Nash, and Shawn. They all accept and soon we're walking out the door to meet up with everyone.

Cam comes up to me. "Hey! Everyone! I will be your tour guide today, I mean it only makes sense. My last name being Dallas and all. Come on y'all I'll show ya around." He laughs. "Wait, you are joking right? Because you don't have all of the qualifications. Unlike...." I hold out the word. "G. P. S." Everyone laughs and we rent out 2 Jeeps. The captains were Cameron and Nash. They decide on rock, paper, scissors to see who picks first. Cam wins.

"Matty! My man!" Matt jumps over next to Cameron. "Oh Shawny boy!" Nash calls and Shawn smiles and twirls around over to Nash. "Aaron!" Cam calls out. Aaron hollers and walks over. "Ava!" I smile and go walk over and stand next to Shawn. I check my phone while Cam chooses Jacob. 2:15 Nash picks Mahogany. And I scream out "No! Don't break JOX apart!!!" Nash laughs and obeys. He picks Carter instead. Cam picks Mahogany of course. And lastly Nash picks Taylor. The Jacks are staying at the hotel preparing.

"Alrighty then! We're all settled!" Taylor says. Everyone hollers and hoots. I look up places to go look around and see and do. There's a carnival in town so I keep that in mind for later. "Yea let's get goin!" I smile. I'm sitting in the back middle between Shawn and Taylor. Taylor is yelling out the non existent windows. Oh boy. Shawn puts his hand on my thigh and that begins the adventure.
