Gotta Be Me with 1D

Chapter 1: But When You Smile at the Ground...

I was finally in London, England! Where 4 of my idols live. The other lives in Mullingar, Ireland! I was so happy! I got off my plane. Found my luggage and pulled it to the bus stop. I had to ride it to get closer to my hotel.

When the bus stopped the driver yelled, "Off for Zànden Hotel, London Historical Museum and Town Shops!" I nodded, because he called out my hotel! I yanked my gray suitcases off the bus and held my backpack and purse close by. I opened up my bag once I got off the bus and by a bench. I pulled out my map and looked around curiously.

"Can I help you ma'am?" An old man, probably around 60, asked.

"Yes, where is Zànden Hotel?" I asked with a smile.

"Turn around my dear." He pointed, and the bus pulled away.

"Oh! Thank you sir!" I replied and handed the man a small tip from the $75,000 my parents gave me to live off of for 3 weeks. They said if I needed anymore cash to let them know! And that made me very happy! I picked up my luggage and looked both ways before I crossed the street. The streets in London seemed more fancy and open than the ones in Illinois! The air smelled fresh and crisp! I loved London so far! It was beautiful! Or incredible as Harry would say. I got insidr the hotel and hand the lady at the frojt desk my papers.

"Welcome, dear!" She spoke sweetly.

"Hello! My name is Tia Harrison." I responded and smoothed out my black cotton mini dress, that I wore with bright red leggings, and shiny black and red polka dot flats.

"Ok... Age?" She asked looking at her computer screen.

"18." I replied.

"A little young to be on your own!" She said her eyebrows raised.

"Um, well my, parents told me I was mature enough!" I stuttered. She has no right to tell me I am too young! And 18 is an adult for heaven sakes!

"Ok... I suppose so. Your on floor 7, room 354! Heres your room card!" She handed me the card and nodded.

"Thanks." I spoke and walked away. I pulled my suitcases behind me and walked over to a luggage cart! I sat my 2 huge suitcases on it, laid my red and gray back pack on top and held my red leather purse in my left hand, my room card in the right. I rapped my fingers around the cold gold handles and shoved the cart to the closest elevator. I pressed the up arrow. And the elevator doors flew open, revealing a light blue elevator with lit up buttons! I walked in and pressed the 7. Then the doors began to close. When they did I smiled big at the shiny gold doors. I did. A duck face and a kissy face too. Then the doors flew open. I gasped at how long the hallways were! They had to be at least 40 feet! They were huge! I came to Room 354 and used my card to open the heavy door. I opened the door and walked inside. I pushed the luggage cart to my bed and dropped my card and purse. This room had a HUGE window with a magnificent view! It was breath taking! I went over and sat quietly on the window sill. My room was a light shade of blue and chocolate brown. Two very soothing colors. I looked out as far as I could see and small people passed by in trench coats and sweaters. The boys always did say that the big diffrence between British and American girls is the coats! I see why! I smiled and heard someone knock on my door! I rushed over and opened it.

"Hi! I am your maid slash waitress, Suzy!" She grinned holding a small book and a pen.

"Well hello!" I smiled.

"Can I get you anything to eat? A beverage?" She smiled.

"Oh! Sure!" I nodded.

"Here is the menu." She said handing me a little black book.

"I will have the... Yorkshire Tea and tenderloin sandwich. No side please."

"Superb choice madam!" She smiled. She looked around 30.

"Yes, thanks." I said calmly.

"I shall return." She nodded and walked away. I watched her walk down the hallway and then I closed my door. I think I will like it here!

My meal arrived around 7 p.m. (UK time) And I ate it slowly. Like I had anything else to do! I couldn't wait for the Meet and Greet with One Direction tomorrow! I was super excited! I finished my meal and sat my plate and glass outside my door. Along with my fork and luggage cart. I smiled to myself and breathed deeply. I was tired. So I got changed into my PJ's and headed for my big bed! I laid down and looked at my iPhone laying on the bedside table. I think Niall has an iPhone too... Hmm.
