"I see myself as people see me,
But I just know there's something bigger out there"

~ Phil Collins (Strangers Like Me)

"Knock Knock, room service" I hear someone yell as I'm getting ready to leave for the studio. Strange I didn't order anything. I open the door and no one is there, as I am about to close the door someone jumps from the side in front me.

"AHHH" I scream. I look to see Riley laughing on the ground hysterically. I playfully hit him, "You suck!" I tell him. He continues to laugh so I leave the door open and walk back into my room. "I'm sorry you're just so easy to scare, I couldn't help it" Riley says as he follows me into my room. I turn around and stick my tongue out at him. "Is Addy ready to go? The van should be here any minute" he asks. I shrug and walk through the door connecting our rooms to find Addilyn in the bathroom straightening her hair. "Almost, give her one more minute" I yell to Riley in the other room.

"From the scream I heard earlier I'm guessing that Riley scared you?" Addy guesses as she turns the straightener off. "You would be correct" I tell her whilst pouting. "I'll help you get him back. Just go back into your room and make sure his back is to your front door" she tells me. I agree and go back to my room, "Hey Riles would you mind taking a picture of me next to the window? I'm trying to be a bit more active on Instagram" I explain as I usher him towards the window.

He takes my phone and is about to take a picture when all of a sudden Addilyn appears out of nowhere and jumps on his back. Riley lets out the girliest scream I have ever heard and I fall onto my bed laughing. "What was that?" Addy asks in between bursts of laughter. Riley pretends to be upset before breaking and laughing as well. After a few minutes we compose ourselves and head down to the vans.

---------------------------------------------------------

As we jump out of the vans after the 15 minute drive we see Tim outside waiting for us, which was strange since we usually meet either in the rehearsal room or greenroom. We spot a few cameramen and catch on that something different is happening. "Good morning everyone, you probably weren't expecting to see me out here" Tim greets us with a knowing smile.

"This week you will be performing songs from hit movies so we thought what better way to get you in the mood for movie week then to take you where some of the most successful movies are brought to life...." Tim begins. We all look at each other in confusion before we hear a car beeping behind us. We turn and see Brady, Chance, Drew, Sergio and Michael coming towards us in a golf cart with huge ears on it. "We're going to Disneyland" they yell together as we all begin to scream and cheer in excitement.

The producers explain to us how the day is going to work and it sounds like its going to be really fun. We will all be filmed for a couple of hours to make up the segment and then we'll be free to do whatever we want for the rest of the day. Two big buses have been hired to take all the contestants and crew to Disneyland, so the contestants and the IRL boys all decide to claim one bus.

As we all hop on the bus I'm one of the last to get on so there aren't many seats left but I spot Drew ushering me to the back with some of the contestants and the other IRL guys. I walk to the second last row and sit next to him, "Wasn't expecting to see you today?" I tell him. "Yeah we talked the producers into letting us come" Drew explains. "Aren't you lucky that you get to spend the day with your favourite boyband member?" Sergio asks, clearly implying that he is my favourite. I turn to him and put my hand on his arm, "You're right I am so lucky that I get to spend the day with Chance" I tell him, before going over to hug chance and sit on his lap. The guys all laugh at Sergio's face, "She got you there" Michael says shoving him. All of a sudden I get the feeling that someone is watching me and unfortunately it's a head of perfect blonde curls.
