Caroline's POV

The next morning I wake up as if nothing happened the night before. I get out of bed and inspect my hair, which was tangled so badly that it  resembled an afro. I made a face and left the bedroom. When I practically drag myself through the sitting room and towards the bathroom and hear snickering coming from behind me. I turn around and guess who's there? (well you probably already guessed it) ONE DIRECTION!!

My first thought is HOLY SHIT ONE DIRECTION ARE IN MY HOTEL ROOM!!!! My second thought is Why are they laughing at me? My hair is a tangled mess, the hem of my oversized shirt is pulled up past my belly button, and I don't have a bra or pants on, either.

Okay, this is embarrassing. I'm wearing next to nothing and One Direction are a mere 7 ft away now would be a good time to run, I think quickly.

But I hesitate too long and they continue to stare at me. I have no other choice other than staring back at them. I decide to creep them out by making my eyes really wide, flaring my nostrils, and not blinking. The only person who doesn't give me a weird look is Louis, who continues to stare back at me.

"Just warning you, but I am the master of staring contests!" Louis says loudly.

"Just warning you, but I've never lost a staring contest in my lifetime!" I say, putting my hands on my hips.

"I'm also the master of carrots!" Louis adds.

"We've gone over that before, Lou. You are not the master of carrots." Liam says, smiling.

Louis blinked quickly and continued staring. I say, "You blinked! I win!"

"I didn't blink. That must've been another Louis that you were thinking of!" Louis says quickly.

"Whatever." I say lightly, heading towards the bathroom.

After I take a quick shower, I straighten my naturally wavy, shoulder-length, brown hair and put on a hoodie and some jeans. I hear the boys talking really loudly (something they likely do all the time) and I leave the bathroom and grab two poptarts from the kitchen. I plop down on the couch next to Niall. When I'm not looking, Niall tries to steal one of my poptarts and I slap him lightly on the hand.

"If you want a poptart, they're on the counter by the microwave." I say.

Not even a second later, Rachel groggily walks out of the bedroom. I notice Zayn smiles at Rachel, but she just keeps walking towards the bathroom until somebody coughs loudly to get her attention. Rachel casually looks in One Direction's direction (oh, the irony!) and screamed as if a clown were chasing her with a knife.

"Oh my gosh, your One Direction!!" Rachel yells.

"Just go into the bathroom!" I say, grinning from ear to ear for no reason. She trips over an empty armchair before stumbling into the bathroom. Rachel gave Niall a creepy smile (he didn't notice thankfully) and shut the door.

Then Alaina comes out of the bedroom and walks towards the bathroom. Alaina opens the door and Rachel shouts, "I'm in here, ya know!"

"Your so slow! Hurry up!" Alaina yelled back, pushing a lock of hair out of her face.

"I'm going as fast as I can!" Rachel says, knocking something down.

"That sounds so wrong!" I said, laughing really loudly. Soon, with their dirty minds, all the boys join in my laughter.

Alaina turned around, looked at One Direction, shouts, "Holy shit, your One Direction," then started to swear like there was no tomorrow.

***************************************************************************************************************

After we were all introduced ourselves  and ate (some more than others) we went to One Direction's suite, all except for Harry. He said that he needed to get something. He also said that we needed to wait until he got back to let Steph out of the bathroom. Yes, Steph is still in the bathroom.

Zayn just got a text and said, "Harry's on his way here."

"Be brave, Patience." I suggested, putting my hand on Patience's shoulder. Patience slapped my hand away and said, "Okay, I'll wake her up."

Then Harry bursts through the door with a heavy metal object in his hands.

"What's that?" Rachel says, pointing at the contraption in Harry's hands.

"It's a tranquilizer gun." Harry says casually.

"Where did you get a tranquilizer gun from?" I ask.

"I know a guy." Harry says, walking towards us.

"Don't wake Steph up." Liam says.

"Why not?" Patience asks.

"She would feel the pain of being shot with a tranquilizer." Liam says, quietly.

"Exactly," Patience says with a smile.

"What kind of a friend are you?!" Liam asked/shouted.

"A very mean one." Patience said, smiling again. Then she started banging on the door, shouting "Wake up, nerd!"

Then Steph started scratching at the door like a cat and shouting, "Louis Tomlinson! Get me out of here! Give me kisses!"

"She's a keeper, all right." Harry says, making all of us laugh, even Louis. Then Harry takes his aim.

"Wait. Harry, have you ever shot a gun before?" I ask Harry.

"Technically, no." He said, looking at me weirdly.

"Sorry, my sister's a redneck." Patience apologizes.

I grabbed the gun from Harry. "Open the door." I commanded, taking aim.

The second stepped out of the bathroom, I shot her in the arm. She dropped to the floor with a thud. I shot her again for good measure, and Patience started to laugh. I let out a little chuckle, and so did Alaina and Rachel.

"You people are messed up. She's your friend and you shot her with a tranquilizer gun. What's wrong with you?!" Liam sai, making a disgusted face.

"First of all, I would've loved to actually shoot Steph with a real gun. Second, she would've done the same thing to us without hesitation. Last of all, she is only Patience's friend. Not mine, or Alaina's and definately not Rachel's." I say, setting the gun down carefully on the couch.

All of a sudden, my phone started playing "I've tried playing it cool, but when I'm looking at you, I can't ever be brave, cause you make my heart race." Then it went into Harry's part, then Zayn's. I start blushing furiously because all the boys turned towards me and started staring. Then I started dancing this freaky dance that I do every time I hear 'One Thing'.

After I was finished with my dance, I checked my phone to see why it played one of my favorite songs.

"It's a text," I say, then give Patience a dirty look, "I most certainly do not smell like wet potatoes!"

"Yeah, sure." Patience says sarcastically.

"Anyways, where are we taking Steph's body?" Niall asks.

"God, you make it sound like we killed Steph and are dumping her body." Alaina says, "What?!"

Everybody was staring at her weirdly now. At least nobody is staring at me anymore.
