"Hey Carra!" Niall exclaimed, setting his bag down and engulfing me in a hug. The other four boys dropped their bags next to Niall's and joined he hug.

After a minute of a tight group hug, and someone's hand where it shouldn't be (Niall), the group hug broke and we all moved the bags to the living room.

We went to the living room and waited for the bus and Val's family to join us, Val's family being first.

They joined us fifteen minutes after the boys. Val's mom and my mom disappeared outside and left us kids in the living room.

Then my mom came back in on her phone.

"The bus will be here any minute so don't get to comfy." My mom said to all of us and almost on cue, we heard the bus pull up.

Mom went outside and we all grabbed our bags and followed her out.

"Mrs. Riley?" Val and I said in surprise.

The driver of the bus had climbed off and was helping load bags and it was our music teacher.

"Oh, hi girls. Didn't expect to see you." She said politely. Mrs. Riley is one of those teachers that you just love. She is nice, a good teacher, and she always gives good grades. But her laugh can be kind of annoying. It kinda sounds like a cackle you would hear a which doing.

"What are you doing here?" Val asked her.

"I drive charter busses during the summer. I get paid to drive people all over the country. I really love it." Mrs. Riley said.

"So, you're driving us to Des Moines?" I asked her.

"Yes, but don't worry, I'm not going to mess up your trip. I have my own hotel room and I have my own plans." She said.

"Girls, it's time to go." Mom said, walking up to us.

We all climbed into the bus and Mrs. Riley started driving.

We stopped at Golden Corral of breakfast. We piled out of the bus and into the restaurant. We got a seat and our drinks and then got breakfast. The boy spilled their plates high and dug in. I grabbed a few pancakes and sausage and called it good.

After everyone was done eating, we climbed back on the bus and took off.

I found a seat and I plugged in my headphones and blasted my music, resting my head on the seat.

After a song and a half, I felt someone tap on my shoulder. I paused my music, pulled out a headphone, and looked at the person who tapped me.

"Can I sit here?" Niall asked, pointing to the empty seat beside me.

"Only if I could rest my head on your shoulder." I half jokingly said, half serious.

"Deal." He said as he sat down. I smiled at him and put my headphone back in. I played my music and set my head back.

Then I felt Niall tap me again. I didn't bother pausing my music this time, just took out one of my headphones.

"What?" I asked him.

"That doesn't look comfortable. If you want to use my shoulder, go ahead." He said. I smiled at him, not knowing what to say.

"It is pretty uncomfortable." I spit out after a moment.

He laughed and I blushed.

I put my headphone back in and rested my head on his shoulder and I closed my eyes. I felt him brush my hair out of my face and I couldn't help but smile. I listened to my music, mostly 1D, and drifted off to sleep. It's almost a four hour drive, I have a right to sleep.

"Carra, Carra, wake up, we're almost there." Someone told me as the carefully shook me. I opened my eyes and saw Niall leaning over me.

Somehow I had shifted from his shoulder to his lap. I sat up and ran my fingers through my hair, which was a ratty mess. I pulled it all back and into a messy bun. I whipped my eyes and smiled at Niall.

"I can't believe I slept the whole ride. By the way, how did I end up in your lap?" I asked Niall.

"You slept for about an hour before you started shifting. You treys going behind my back so I had Liam help me help you reposition a bit. We put you in front of my shoulder and you just shifted down the rest of the way. You stayed like that for the rest of the ride." Niall explained. "Did you know you talk in your sleep?"

Crap! "What did I say?" I asked him.

"I couldn't catch it, you were mumbling." Niall said.

"Ok." I said in relief. I mean, sometimes I say some really embarrassing things in my sleep.

We were just pulling into the hotel parking lot now. Mrs. Riley parked the bus by the front door and let us off. We unloaded the bags and Mrs. Riley went to put the bus in the garage.

We walked into the hotel and my mom and Val's mom checked us in and a young man in a uniform walked up to us with one of those baggage carts. We put all out bags on it and we waited for out moms to get the room keys before we went upstairs.

We went to the elevator and up to the fifth floor. Val's mom and my mom led us down the hall and stopped in front of a door marked E14.

"Boys, you are in this room and E15. You guys figure out the arrangements, but the rooms are joining." My mom said, handing Liam two room keys.

The five guys thanked her, grabbed their bags from the cart and went into the rooms.

Mom gave out the rest of the keys and pointed us to our rooms. Me and Val are sharing a room that is joined to my mom and brother's room and is across the hall from the five boy's rooms and the rest of Val's room is in the two joining rooms neighboring the boys.

"This is going to be the best trip." I said as Val and I went into the hotel room and set our bags on the beds.

"I can't wait."
