"I love you when you're singing that song"

As I turn to walk back towards the pool I hear a voice behind me...

"Feeling a bit hungry are we?"

When I find the source of the question I am met with a cheeky smile, Chance. "Yeah, I thought 8 pizzas might just be enough to feed myself" I respond joking along. "Are you staying here at the hotel as well?" I ask, wondering why he was in the lobby. "No, actually the guys and I share a house about 10 minutes away but Michael's family and my mom are visiting and it was easier to just get them some hotel rooms rather than stuff everyone in the house" he explains.

Speaking of the devil I spot Michael over Chance's shoulder. He brings his finger up to his mouth, gesturing for me to be quite before sneaking towards Chance and jumping on his back. We all laugh as Chance jumps in fright, "This is the thanks I get for driving you here". "Oh you were coming here anyway. Cheer up!" Michael tells him pinching his cheek. Michael then looks at me, "What's with all the pizza?" he asks. "We are celebrating getting through to the next round with pizzas at the pool. Do you guys want to join?" I offer considering that we do have an abundance of pizza. They look at each and shrug, "Yeah why not the other guys are at the studio anyway" Michael says.

"Look who I found waiting for an autograph" I announce as I walk back towards the pool with Chance and Michael beside me. Everyone yells greetings to the boys before rushing out of the pool for pizza. After we finish eating some of the pizza, obviously with lots of leftovers we decide to go back in the pool.

As I take my cover up off and throw it onto one of lounge chairs I move to the side of the pool and dip my toe in to see how cold it is. I pull back and decide that easing in is probably a good idea since it is quite cold. Apparently someone else had other ideas as I feel an arm wrap around my waist and pull me in. As I wipe the wet hair from my face I turn to see the culprit Brendan laughing. I splash him with water, starting a full on splashing war. It quickly became clear that I was losing so I swam and hid behind Chance. As Brendan comes over we both begin attacking until he gives up.

"Who's up for shoulder wars?" Finn asks. "I call Addy" Riley says pulling Addilyn towards him. "Partner?" Chance asks me, I nod and jump onto his shoulders. Finn ends up on Brendan's shoulders since Michael, Lucy and Lisa decide to just watch from the side. As we all face each other I give Addilyn a wink and look to Finn hoping that she understood what I meant. "Alright Lucy count us in" Finn calls.

"Three, two..... one" Lucy calls. Immediately Addilyn and I both push Finn as hard as we can, sending him backwards with a splash. "Hey not fair, you guys teamed up against me" Finn complains as he pushes his hair back. We just laugh and high-five, "Sorry but Sam is my girl, of course I'm gonna go for you" Addilyn says. "Well it's too bad that I'm competitive" I say before catching Addy off guard and pushing her off of Riley's shoulders. Chance and I laugh and he gives me a high five before I jump off his shoulders back into the pool. "Well that's the last time I help you" Addilyn says pretending to be hurt, so I swim over and give her a hug. "Oh shush, you know that I love you" I tell her. " I definitely ship Samlyn" Chance says. I turn and give him a confused look, "Your ship name. Sam, Addilyn ... Samlyn" he adds. "You are a weirdo" I tell him before splashing him again.

The next day I get ready for rehearsals, putting on some clothes and make up since we are getting filmed today. It was so much fun hanging out with everyone last night but it's time to focus again today, I just hope that I'm in a good group.
