*Nicola's pov*
My hands start to sweat as I walk towards my new dorm room. I knock on the door lightly and the door opens to a short brunette with a wide smile.
"OH MY GOD HIIIIII" she squeals and hugs me tightly
"Hi" I murmur
"I'm Christina you must be Nicola" Christina smiles and then a blonde haired boy runs through the door
I jump a little in surprise but Christina starts screaming.
"BABY" she jumps into his arms and then 4 boys come in as well
One had a girl with long curly hair strapped to his arm and another had a phone in his hand. A tall brown haired boy smiles and shows a tooth gap and I smile back.
"Hi I'm Zach" a rosy cheeked boy holds out his hand
"Nicola" I whisper growing shy
"I'm Jack and this is Gabriella but just call her Gabbie" The boy with curly hair smiles
"Hi" the girl gives me a sweet smile
"I'm Daniel" the boy with a tooth gap gives me a side hug
"NICOLAAAAA" my sister comes tearing into the room and then she freezes
"cheese on a biscuit...you're why don't we" she stares at the boys with wide eyes
"Olivia" I growl and her head snaps towards me
She quickly hurries to my side and then I hear the Zach whisper something to Jack.
"I'm Jonah" I look up and my eyes connect with two bright green ones.
I stare into them not wanting to look away until he finally tears his eyes away and looks at Christina and the boy still hugging
"That's Corbyn" he laughs
Dang even his laugh was cute.
"I'm Olivia" Olivia walks up to Zach
"Zach" he smiles and she blushes lightly
"Guys We should all go out for dinner and let Nicola explore the City!" Christina squeals and even Olivia's eyes light up
"Can I come Please?" She grabs my hand
"I don't know..."I mumble
"Of course at least Zach will have someone his age to talk to!" Christina giggles
"Danielllll" a girl with mid length curly hair runs into the room
"Angi!" He hugs her tightly
"Oh my god Angi!" Christina hugs her
"Let's go!" Corbyn grabs a wallet and then some keys and passes them to Christina
When we get into the car I'm shoved into the back with Jonah and he was staring at his phone.
"I moved here from Australia....it's weird...in Australia right now I could be drinking..." I chuckle
"Really that's crazy!" He turns his full attention towards me
"Olivia is 16 turning 17 this year" I giggle
"So is Zach!" Jonah chuckles
"I'm turning 19" I give him a tight smile
"I am turning 20" Jonah smiles and looks out the window
"So do you live here or...?" I mumble
"No no us boys live in Los Angeles and we came here to surprise Christina...we are staying here for a week" Jonah smiles
"We are here!" Christina jumps out of the car
"Ladies first" Jonah smiles as he puts down the seat so I could climb out
I give him a smile and climb out and he climbs out and lands on the cement beside me.
"Oh my god I do online school as well!" Olivia exclaims
"I do it cause of the band....maybe you could live with us until Nicola finishes her stuff at college" Zach smiles
"Yessss" Olivia squeals
We walk into a restaurant and then we get put in a booth. I get stuck in between Daniel and Jonah and Olivia was between Jack and Zach.
"So Nicola why did you love to New York?" Christina smiles
"I...uh...fresh start and more stuff to experience" I lie
"That's so cool and you brought Olivia Along with you?" Christina pushes a hair behind her ear
"Yeah" I nod and act like I wasn't doing it to save her from my hell hole of a home.
"Let's order!" Zach groans rubbing his gut
I order a salad and Olivia shoots me a glare.
"A large chips thanks" Jonah smiles
The waitress nods and sends him a flirty wink before walking away with our orders
"Do you get that everywhere?" I laugh
"Yeah pretty much...what can I say I'm quite a se-"
"Sex object" all the boys butt in
They start laughing and I frown in confusion while Olivia giggles with them.
"I don't understand" I frown
"Here" Jonah pulls out his phone and then searches up a video and shows it to me
"You are a weird child" I smirk
"At least I know the girls love me" he smirks
"In your dreams" I giggle and everyone watches us throw insults between each other like we have been friends for years.
"And our food has arrived" Corbyn rubs his hands together and my plate of salad gets set down and then Jonah gets his large chips.
I pick up my fork and stab a live of lettuce but then Jonah smacks my hand making me drop the fork into my food making the salad dressing go all over it.
"JONAH!" Christina gasps
"You will eat like normal people" he pushes his plate of chips closer to me
"I'm okay" I grab the extra fork lying on the table and shove a piece of lettuce in my mouth
"You are just eating water" Jonah rolls his eyes
"Good" I roll my eyes back at him and shove another piece into my mouth
"No more your I'll eat these with me" Jonah snarls and I give up
"Fine" I groan and grab a chip
I look at Olivia's mashed potatoes and Christina follows my eyes. Her eyes grow wide and she starts nodding. I scoop some mashed potatoes on my finger and then wipe it on Jonah's cheek. Everyone gasps or laugh and Jonah stares at the chip in his hands. All the sudden he grabs some of Corbyns mashed potatoes and rubs it in my face even some goes up my nose.
"HEY that was my food" Corbyn pouts
"Jonah you messed up her make up!" Christina sighs and passes me some napkins
I start laughing and I wipe the mashed potatoes off my face and then Jonah looks at me funny.
"Did I miss a piece?" I frown
"Here I'll get it for you" he smiles but shoves more potatoes in my face
"Ok that is literally adorable" Gabbie giggles and we all look at her
"Jonah" I groan but he laughs and starts wiping all the food off my face
"Truce?" He holds out his pinkie
"Truce" I grasp it with mine and he smiles
Finally everyone finishes their food and we all go for a walk. We get to a massive crossing and when we get to the middle Jonah shoves me back and then people start shoving me around. Time seems to freeze as I forget which way we were going and I start to panic until a familiar face finds me in the crowd.
"Come on slow poke!" He yells grabbing my hand and dragging me behind him
"Nic where were you?!" Christina starts laughing
"Well idiot decided to push me backwards and people started getting angry and pushing me around" I shove Jonah and everyone laughs
"Hey Nicky can I please stay at their house?" Olivia pulls the puppy eyes on me and I nod
"I was going to send you to Gram Grams but it's all good" I smile and ruffle her hair
"Thanks butt brain" she giggles and runs to Zach
We get back to the dorm and the boys have to leave to go back to their dorm but I come up with an idea.
"Why Don't I come stay with you Jonah and Corbyn and Christina can hang out more" I smile
"Oh my god yes!" Christina hugs me tightly
"Well Jonah and I were sharing so yeah I guess you and him can share" Corbyn shrugs
"I have to be back here by 6am for my first class though" I sigh
"All good I will bring you over and I can grab Corbyn" Jonah shrugs
"Cool" I smile and grab a change of clothes and some Pjs
"See ya" I give Christina a quick hug and then run out to the group
I dive into the passenger seat and all Daniel and Zach start laughing
"Where are the girls?" I frown
"The girls went in the car with Jack in the other car" Daniel laughs
"Oh okay" I nod
We finally pull up at a hotel and Jonah helps me find our room.
"Shit I forgot it's only a one bed...is that okay" Jonah looks at me
"Yeah I'll just sleep on the couch" I nod and plop down on the couch
"No I will you need a good rest for class" Jonah laughs
He picks me up and throws me into the bed and I land in a limp heap. Jonah laughs and I sit up and watch him as he gets the couch ready.
"Wanna watch a movie?" He smiles
"Sure" I jump up and jump onto the couch and he starts playing a movie.

"Wanna watch a movie?" He smiles"Sure" I jump up and jump onto the couch and he starts playing a movie
