"Today we're gonna go to...Drumroll please, Ash...Disneyland!" Mikey exclaimed. I let out a loud scream and quickly covered my mouth.
"Sorry guys. I'm just über excited to go! I've always wanted a hat with Mickey ears," I gush and they all laugh at my child-like wants.
"We leave in an hour! Better be ready or we're leaving you!" Everyone rushed off to their room to change. I picked out a gray cardigan, black frilly shorts, a floral tank, and my white converse. I feel like a Tumblr girl.
On my way out the door I bump into Luke and almost fall. He catches me and I blush. Why? Oh, I dunno. Maybe because there's a glint of mischief in his eyes and a cheeky smirk plastered on his face.
"Thanks Luke," I mumble and swerve around him.
What even happened back there? To be honest, I have no idea.

"Ahh! We're here! We're in the park! I'm so excited!" I blabbered on and on about how exhilarating it was to be here.
"I'm just a small town girl from Australia and look where I am now!" The boys laugh at me but smile.
"What ride should we ride first?" Ashton asks.
"Hmm. How about that huge roller coaster?" Calum suggests and I groan. They all know I have four fears: heights, roller coasters, birds, and fire, and that ride has more than half of them, potentially all of them.
"I'll just sit out," Before I could turn around and slip away without them noticing, Mikey and Ashton picked me up under my arms.
"We don't think so," The boys drag me in line and I stand there. Pouting. Maybe if I look cute enough they won't make me ride it...
"It isn't working this time, Tate. You're riding," I sigh and lean on the railing. The line moves too quickly and we're very front in line.
The cart seats six. Calum and Ashton sit together. Mikey sits alone in the middle. That leaves Luke and I for the back.
The ride starts out slowly up a steeply inclining hill. I close my eyes and take deep, steady breaths. Luke seemed to notice me struggling, for he gripped my hand comfortingly.
We reached the top and I felt my stomach drop to my feet. I'm going to die on a stupid ride. The cart drops and I scream at the top of my lungs. From beside me I hear Luke laughing. Why is he laughing at a time like this?!
I close my eyes and squeeze Luke's hand. I could've swore I heard him wince. After so many twists, turns, and loops, the ride is finally over.
I release the breath I didn't realize I was holding and unbuckle myself. Luke helps me out and I run a hand through my wind-blown hair.
"That wasn't so bad, was it?" Calum asks and I glare at him. The boys laugh and examine the picture.
"Hahah! Holy shit, look at Ashton!"
"Don't look at me, look at Mikey!"
Mikey was flicking off the camera, Ashton was making a terrifying face, Luke was grinning, and Calum had his tongue out. Then there was me.
My hair was flying everywhere. My mouth was open so wide from my yelling. Luke and I's hands were tightly interlocked.
"I'm buying this," I say and hand over the money to the woman.
"Damn, why? We all look so hideous," Calum says.
"I better not see it on Instagram later tonight," Mikey says.
"Okay. We all look ridiculous. Case closed. What should we ride next?" Ashton asks.
"Lets walk through that!" Calum exclaims and points at a tunnel. It's not a love tunnel, but it's a Disney Pixar tunnel!
We walked through the beginning and I was already taking many pictures. First there was about three rooms full of princesses. I made Calum take loads of pictures of me and them.
There are a few fans throughout the whole Disney tunnel. I gladly take their pictures. It's so nice seeing the girls who made them as big as they are. And the boys absolutely adore their fans; it's a cute relationship they have.
And of course, where there are fans, there are cameras. Some girls took some pictures of Luke and I looking all couple-like. I don't have a problem with it, I'm just not used to it.
A fan came up to me in the last tunnel. "You and Luke are so cute together! I'm so happy you two are a thing," she said.
"Honey, if only you knew," I huffed.
Now we're in the next room. Monsters Inc. One of my favorite Disney movies.
"Mikey! Take a picture of Luke and I in front of Sully," I hand him my phone and drag him over to the seven foot tall monster.
I do the classic girl pose: my leg up and he supports under my thigh with my arm across his chest. His other arm goes around my waist. Mikey snaps the picture.
"That's a keeper," Luke comments when I show him the picture.
"Can I see your phone?" I hand him my iPhone and skip over to Ash.
"What're you doing?" I lean over his shoulder and he quickly slides his phone into his pocket.
"I'm not doing anything," he attempts to cover up what just happened.
"Whatever you say!" I sing-song. Luke hands me my phone back.
"I posted the picture of us on Instagram," he tells me.
"What's the caption?"
"I said 'My main bitch for life. So glad to have you as a boyfriend.' with a kissy face emoji," The color drains from my face.
"Luke! Nobody knows we're dating officially!" I scold him. The color drains from his face, too.
"Damn it. I'm so sorry, Tatum. I'll clear it up on twitter," he apologizes.
"It's fine, Luke," I kiss his cheek and blush. What on earth possessed me to do that?
