*Caroline's POV*

Carmen and I were just chilling on our phones (after we calmed down after Nash's texts) on our beds when The Grier struck again! This time he asked Carmen and "her friend" that's me. To come to the guys' rooms and hang out for a while. So, after fangirling for like, 5 minutes, we headed down. We knew that they were on the 2nd floor but didn't know which room. Just follow the loudest noise I thought to myself. And that's how we found them. Carmen knocked on their door and we waited. After 3 minutes of waiting someone answered the door. Finally!

"Oh, you must be Carmen. Nash has talked about you all day. And you must be her friend. Hi, I'm Cameron Dallas." Oh. My. God. Cameron Dallas just talked to me. What I life? I was suddenly snapped out of my thoughts by that same angelic voice. "Carmen, Nash is inside waiting for you" he turned to me "and you are?"

"What? Oh, I'm Carmen's friend." My voice is cracking. Dangit.

He laughed a little. "I mean your name".

"Oh, uh, Caroline." My voice! God!

"Well, Caroline, come on in". My God, this isn't happening...

*Carmen's POV*

As I walked in, the amount of guys in one room overwhelmed me. My eyes scanned the room quickly searching for Nash. He isn't here... there he is! He is sitting on one of the beds, which has no more room. Great. I walk over to him and he smiles. I return the smile and sit on the floor.

"You know, you could've sat on the couch" he said, pointing to the couch over by the window. I look then find myself blushing.

"I'm good with the floor" I say looking up at him.

"You know... you aren't like other girls, Carmen" Nash says, making me blush harder.

"I'm really hoping that's a compliment...?" I said.

"It was" he said, now returning the blush. We both looked around and all eyes were on us. Even the newly arrived Cameron and Caroline. "Oh, well, Carmen this is Jack G., Matthew Espinosa, Taylor Caniff, Jack Johnson, and Shawn Mendes" Nash said, pointing to all of them as he spoke. Then Hayes cleared his throat obnoxiously loud. "And Hayes, who is irrelevant." He said the last part to Hayes.

"Hey guys" I said, receiving back a chorus of 'Hey' and 'Hi'.

"And guys, this is the famous Carmen" Nash said to the guys.

"Someone grab her phone!" Jack G. yelled.

"Yeah! She needs my number!" Matthew yelled.

Nash grabbed my phone from where I laid it beside me on the floor and tossed it to Jack G. "Got it!" Nash called. All the guys started yelling back and forth "Throw it here!" "Give it to me!" "Me next!". I suddenly got an idea. I made a pouty face and buried my face in my hands, fake sniffling.

Nash noticed my behavior and quieted down everyone. "Guys, stop it!" Nash said firmly. Everyone looked around (I was hidden by the bed now that my head was down). Nash sat beside me, trying to get me to pick up my head. When I finally looked up, his face looked concerned and I busted out laughing. I noticed through my laughing fit that Caroline was laughing as well. She knows me.

"Okay, now that we are all friends" Nash says to everybody "we should go to the beach!"

"Uh... Nash, have you noticed it's like, 10 at night?" Taylor asked.

"Uh, yeah! That's the point! Late night swims!"

Everybody was in so, I was too! Caroline an I got into our bathing suits and grabbed towels quickly and headed back downstairs to the guys' floor. (They had other rooms, so they were scattered all over the floor). I knocked on Nash and Cameron's door. Nash answered in his bathing suit! Don't stare, Carmen! We got down onto the beach and I got lifted of of my feet! Nash carried me and threw me into the water! I can hold my breath for about a minute, so I stayed under as long as I could, making Nash come in after me. "Ha! gotcha twice in one night, Nash!" I said teasingly. Then I realized we were the only ones in the water. Everyone else was on the beach, fighting, on their phone, or walking. Me and Nash swam around and then he asked me "do you have abs?"

I looked at him and laughed. "Yeah, why?"

"I can't tell through the water" Nash said, looking embarrassed. I then realized I didn't tell Garrett where I was going! I ran to Caroline with Nash trailing me. "Caroline! We didn't tell Garrett!" I said.

"Ah dren! He is gonna be so pissed off at us".

"Dangit, Garrett."

"Who... who's Garrett?" Nash asked quietly behind me.

"What? Oh, Garrett's my brother." I answered.

"Oh" Nash said. For a moment I thought I saw a flash of... relief in his eyes. Maybe I'm going crazy...

We spent until midnight on the beach, then we all went back to our rooms and showered. I beat Caroline there so I took a shower first. Sucker. After we were showered and in bed, there was a knock on our door. I opened it to see Nash standing there.

"Nash? It's like, 1 in the morning." I said.

"Yeah, I know... I just didn't get to say goodnight."

He pulled me into a hug that I accepted and said quietly "Goodnight" the kissed the top of my head. Then he was gone. I am so glad I made new friends... but did I make something more?
