~Taylors POV~

Boot Camp week arrived soon enough.I was really happy because they said that i could go with harry, well they didnt cherly did.Me and Harry and I were faced with a slight dilemma: transport. Our parents, who both worked long and hard hours to support us, were unable to take time off to accompany us down to London. It seemed the only solution was to take the train and then the bus. The long travel times were upsetting for me, but Harry didn’t seem to mind, stating that it would be a great way for the “two of us to get to know each other even more”. I had scowled at him by this point and he had sheepishly looked at me.

Despite my dismay, the train was eventually the only option and so on the Sunday before Boot Camp started Harry and I found ourselves on the train at six in the morning.

Needless to say, I was exhausted. There should be a law against being awake so early.

The hotel was amazing. My jaw actually dropped several thousand feet when I saw my room. Lavishly decorated with amazingly intricate pieces of furniture, I felt as if I had stepped into a Princess’ room from a fairytale.

I had been to London before, but only on day trips. The majority of my time was spent in Cheshire and to be honest, I’d never really travelled much. This was a new adventure for me and I couldn’t even begin to describe the excitement I was feeling. I dropped my bag in the centre of the room and launched myself onto the bed. The mattress engulfed me, caressing me until I had almost fallen asleep. The uncomfortable vibrating coming from my pocket jolted me out of my dream filled state.

Oh my god, the rooms! I feel like I’m in heaven

Smiling, I quickly replied to Harry agreeing with him and then looked at the schedule that the contestants had to go by that was attached to my ticket. We were expected to arrive in London a day before Boot Camp so that we could meet the rest of the contestants during dinner. I presumed there were quite a few hopefuls and I was wondering how this evening would work. The attire required was semi formal, so I took out my favourite green cocktail dress, the one I had worn to the formal last year and put it on my bed.

Even the shower was majestic with about 30 different bottles of shampoo available. Picking a fruity smelling one, I rubbed it through my sleek black hair.

My thoughts returned back to my appearance. I was lucky enough to have the body that I did. Sleek shiny brown hair, tanned skin and bright blue eyes. I really couldn’t have asked for any more. It made getting ready an absolute breeze.

I went to go meet up with harry then we made our way down to the dinning room. Upon entering the dining hall, we were confronted with around 200 other people. My eyes must’ve widened because Harry started laughing at me. I punched his arm and looked around. There were people everywhere and they all seemed to be gathering around an erected board. Pulling Harry along with me, I went to look at it.

“Allocated seating” Harry groaned as he looked over heads to see the signs. His slight 3 cm advantage was something that annoyed me and he played on it often. However, little did he know, I actually realy liked being short.

“Ah, no. We’re on separate tables. You’re on table… 9. Hey, that’s your lucky number!” He nudged my side. I smiled at this little fact that I had told him three years ago that he still remembered. “I’m on table 8. Okay, let’s go find our tables. Oh, by the way, can I put my phone in your clutch?”

We found our tables and sat down. Harry’s table was near mine, so I wasn’t too worried. My table, which seemed to be smack bang in the middle of the hall, was already filled with people that looked to be around my age. I sat down in the only remaining seat next to a young man with blonde/brown hair that resembled Justin Bieber’s. On my right was a woman with dark hair who was intently texting on her phone. Not wanting to interrupt her activities, I turned to the guy sitting next to me, who was now looking at me and smiling. His face appeared to light up when he smiled.
