I grabbed my bags and ran to the door. "KATY, WE'RE GONNA MEET YOUTUBERS!" I screamed.

"I KNOW!" She screamed back, throwing her arms up and laughing.

Darren stared amusingly at us. "You know, you guys don't have to scream." He teasingly said.

"If you were going to meet your queens, you would have the same reaction." I said, crossing my arms. He simply ruffled my hair up, and I hit his arm.

London was so unreal. It's like just seconds ago I was stalking through some Instagram model's feed, and liking the photos of London's view. Oh- wait, that really happened.

"So Darren, how did you convince your parents to let you bring us to Canada?" Katy asked.

"Uh, when it was my birthday a couple of months ago, they gave me a pack of balloons and told me that they're saving for Lynelle's next birthday, so, I took advantage of that." He laughed, remembering the memory. Katy laughed for 4 minutes straight, and after that she was wheezing.

I smiled and looked around London. Right now, it was about 5 PM, and I still couldn't get over the view.

"When are we gonna meet them?" Luke, our friend said while checking his watch.

"Tomorrow at 11. In the morning. Right, Tito?" Darren said, looking at the man in a Nike hat.

He nodded and smiled. Darren's Tito went to go check in the hotel, while we sat down on the seats. "Two people in one room, okay? I'll be next door." He said, handing us keys.

"The two girls in one room. Two boys in the other." Tito said with a strict tone, but his face still held a smile.

"But titoooo, I'm sick of seeing Kylie's face. Plus, we're smart kids- nothing bad will happen." Katy assured. I hit her lightly and she hit me back.

"Ah- that's your choice na. Basta I'm not paying for anyone's child support." He joked. We nodded, laughing. I grabbed Darren's hand and took the elevator to our room. I pressed the 6th floor button, and realized I was still holding his hand. I quickly removed it. The elevator opened and I opened the door to our room. It was painted white, with two queen sized beds, and a giant tv in front of them. I ran to the bed closest to the window.

"My bed!" I laughed and dug my face into the pillow.

"Fine." He said. I grabbed a book called Paper Towns by John Green and Darren just stared at me. "What's wrong?" I asked in confusion.

"Nah. I just never read his books." He said. I gasped and grabbed my bag and practically threw The Fault In Our Stars at him. "I still have 2 more books that he wrote. " I laughed evilly. He stared at the cover at the book and studied it. He looked at the summary at the back and I could tell he was smiling.

"You said you already knew The Fault In Our Stars?" I asked.

"I watched it." He smiled. I rolled my eyes. He was still scanning the book.

"Like it?" I poked him. My patience was running and I was excited to rant.

"Um, I didn't even read the first page yet-"

"Read it!" I impatiently said.

He opened the book and began to read. I grabbed my book and began reading too, until there was a knock on the door. I stood up and opened it. It was Darren's tito

"Hey guys, were going to dinner at 6." I looked over at the clock. It was 5:30. "Get ready." He said, closing the door. I stared at Darren. "Well, I'm gonna change now." I said, grabbing my skinny jeans and a shirt. I walked to the bathroom and put it on. When I got out, Darren was wearing a plad shirt and jeans too.
