They arrived at the house about half an hour later and it was huge. There were four cars in the driveway: two white, one yellow and one black car. Two of them were convertibles. The house itself seemed big enough to accommodate more than just 12. 

"Welp," Savana said as she picked up her bags, "let's get settled." She walked towards the house while the other two stared at the house, unsure of whether they wanted to live with nine other people or to go back home. They picked up their bags and followed Savana as she walked in.

Lindsay took one foot in and gagged, "Oh my God, what is that atrocious smell?" Sierra held her nose closed and Savana coughed. The floor was covered in fast food wrappers and empty beer bottles. A shirtless boy walked towards them and looked at them for a second.

"Oh, shit." His eyes grew wide and his face lost the carefree attitude, "Guys, the new roomies are here!" He shouted. 

Savana's eyes watered as she spoke, "Maybe not. It depends on how this house smells when it's clean." 

Lindsay looked at the boy. Her hands covered her mouth with her hands and her eyes became saucers, "Oh m- Y-You're-" She stuttered after every word. She tried controlling her breathing when another boy with brightly colored hair walked over and smiled.

"Hello!" He waved as he put his arm around the shirtless boy.

Sierra and Savana looked at Lindsay confused. "Hey, Linds? Why are you freaking out?" Sierra nudged her softly. 

Lindsay squealed and shook with excitement, "You two are so blissfully unaware that we are in the presence of two members of the most popular boy bands in the world! Michael Clifford of 5 Seconds of Summer and Harry Styles of One Direction. I've been their fan since, like, forever, and I just can't believe that they're here in our apartment! I wonder how our roommates feel about it. I wonder if they're here. Oh geez, I'm embarrassing myself in front of them." She laughed awkwardly and took a deep breath. "Aaahhh." She smiled as she exhaled. 

Savana smiled, "Did you not hear him, Lindsay? He said 'the new roomies.' They're our roommates."

Lindsay's jaw dropped as she stared. It was silent before Harry smiled and waved a little, "Hello." He said quietly. 

The next noise to come from Lindsay was an ear-piercing scream. Savana and Sierra smiled at each other while holding their hands to their ears. Harry and Michael's eyes rolled back into their heads with shock. Damn, that girl could shriek.

A few more boys came up from behind them. Lindsay kept muttering with excitement as Sierra grabbed her elbow and led her, "Um, could you, maybe, show us where our room is? We've had a long day and some of us can't seem to handle new surroundings." Savana stood behind them, stifling laughter. 

"Uh, yeah. Last door on the right. Just before the bathroom." One smiled. 

"Thank you." Sierra held her few bags and Lindsay's hand to drag them to the room. Savana followed quickly.

"Thanks, guys," She smiled, "We'll be out when we're a bit more composed." 

The boys watched them disappear into their room and shut the door. 

"Liam! You could've told us there were going to be girls living with us!" Ashton whined, "Now they're going to think we're total slobs." 

Niall looked around the floor, "I mean, it's a surprise we didn't think we were slobs." 

They all looked at themselves, each other and the floor and mumbled in agreement. There was food all over their clothes, mysterious stains covering the, once pristine, carpet, the table was covered in all sorts of crumbs, food and spilled drink.
