Hitch Hiking • WHY DON'T WE [#1]

fourteen

Instead of driving the minibus we got a ride on a public bus because apparently it's easier to load up eight teenagers and a kid onto a public bus into a small one. 

Though there weren't many, the other guests obviously weren't enjoying the bus ride as much as we were. Zach and Daniel had decided to act like pole dancers on one of the poles in the back, how we weren't kicked off was a mystery to me. 

"Hey Anslie, you got everything, right?" Jonah asks. I nod as I search through my mini backpack checking to make sure I had everything. The guys and Bea had put me in charge of taking care of all their belongings since I was the only one who thought ahead and brought along something to keep everything in. 

"I'm so excited." Corbyn was bouncing up and down to show his excitement. I grin, "Me too." Today we're going to Epcot and despite it being early in the morning everyone was excited too. 

Once we arrived the group gathered around the Epcot ball for a photo and to make a plan in case of emergency.

"Okay, so if someone get's lost and their phone is dead or they're just in trouble, what's the safe word?" Jonah asks for the 1000th time since we left the hotel. 

"Wayhoo." Zander answers. Jonah nods. "Tomorrow we should just all wear matching shirts." I tease. Not getting in on the joke Jonah nods and claps his hands. "Good idea, I think we have some merch that we can all wear." 

"Yes because wearing all black in 90 degree weather sounds so appealing." Bea says rolling her eyes. "Babe." Jack coughs motioning towards his outfit. 

"It's fine on you babe, it's just for some people, the especially pale ones," Bea's eyes dart over to me then back to Jack, "they can look pretty emo."

I go to make a remark but Corbyn grabs my hand and gives me a look that says to leave it alone. Deciding to do so I turn back to Jonah. "Jonah, stop worrying and have fun. We'll be fine." 

Reluctantly, Jonah nods. After making plans to meet back up at the Epcot ball Tayla tells us that she and Zander are going to ride rides since we're probably going to go ride the roller coasters that Zander hates. 

As the group walks Corbyn and I, still hand in hand, start lagging behind. "This is okay, right?" He asks nodding toward our intertwined hands. I smile up at him, "Yeah, totally." I had to look away to hide the blush creeping onto my cheeks, maybe I did like Corbyn.

"Hey do you guys wanna ride this first?" Daniel asks pointing to a building with a sign saying 'Journey Into Imagination with Figment'. 

"I saw a video about this ride, it looked like drugs." Eben grins as we make our way toward the line.

"That ride was definitely drugs." I agree after we all regroup outside of the ride. 

"Oh my gosh it's Why Don't We!" Someone squeals. Seconds later four girls swarm us. 

"Can we get a picture?" One asks. "Sure." The boys take pictures with the fans leaving Bea and I awkwardly standing to the side, until they turn to us.

"I love you, your family is so great, I like how you're so lighthearted to the whole news thing. And how you're getting through your parents divorce. My parents are divorced, you're an inspiration."
