I was observing my dark neighborhood through my window as I lay awake in my bed. I couldn't sleep. Not after today's news. Everything felt so unreal and I still count believe i was going to meet my idols in real life.

2 am, said the alarm clock on my nightstand. Exactly 14 hours after the email came in. To be quite honest I had almost forgotten that the winner would be announced today. I mean I didn't wanna keep my hopes up so I just pushed it into the back of my head.

Dear Zoe, read the email.
„We are happy to announce that you are the chosen winner of the SWAYcation event. We hope you kept your schedule open because from Monday on you're going to stay two weeks with the boys from sway LA! Please get in contact with us in the next 24 hours or a new winner will be chosen.
Sway management co."

Unreal. That's the only word I have to describe this. I still can't really grasp that this is going to happen to ME! Of course I replied instantly and they informed me about my way there which will start tomorrow morning. Since I live in Hawaii it's gonna be quite a long flight to LA but the company already organized everything for me and an employee of theirs will pick me up tomorrow.

Now I kinda regret not having read the full event info because apparently there are a bunch of other cool things included than meeting the boys. But of course that's the highlight. I wonder if they're as excited as I am and I'm excited to see what plans they have with me. I bet we're gonna do tiktoks all day.

As I was thinking about all the cool things that are about to happen I finally fall asleep.

„Zoeee~" my little sister wakes me up the next day. „Mom says you have to get ready now. They're gonna pick you up in uhmmm... an hour I think" she said as she sat down on the corner of my bed. „Ahh thank you Lily. I'm gonna miss you so much during these two weeks. But I'll text you, I promise." I said and smiled at her. „Shush! You're gonna meet josh, anthony, jaden, kio, Bryce and griffin. I'm still so jealous." she said ans pouted cutely. „I know I know. And you would've deserved it as much as I do but you're too young. You know the winner has to be over 18 so I'm glad my birthday was last week hihi."

After a last breakfast with my sister and parents I finally got ready. Since it's gonna be a long journey I put on a rather comfortable outfit. For makeup I only put on some concealer and lip tint. My glasses would hide any eye makeup anyways.

Right when I packed the last things in my suitcase the doorbell rang

Right when I packed the last things in my suitcase the doorbell rang. „Zoe, they're here." My mom shouted through our apartment. „Coming~" I shouted back and after looking back one more time I left my room. The employee from sway co helped me get my stuff in the car and after saying a long goodbye to my family I finally got in the car.

„So, sorry for not introducing me earlier. I'm Catelyn from sway co and I'll be your contact person through all this. I know the boys can be a lot sometimes so if you need anything please call me. Here's my number." she said and handed me a business card with her name and contacts on it. „Uhm, okay thanks a lot. I will do that." I replied. I was imagining all kinds of scenarios in my head why I would call Catelyn during the next weeks but nothing came close to what would actually happen (as I would find out later)

During the whole trip me and Catelyn talked and actually became friends. She is quite young for a manager at only 19 but I was glad they sent someone so young. This way I didn't feel so nervous and the journey was more enjoyable. „Haha so who's your fav from the sway house?" I asked her while we were waiting at the airport. „Oh, I'm not too close with them but I've met Bryce a few times at the company and he's funny I guess. Also I heard that anthony is really sweet so I think you should stick with him if you feel uncomfortable in the beginning."

„But I guess you already know so much about them, right?" she added. „Oh, yeah I guess. I've been following some of them for over a year and I find it so cool that they opened the house. I love all their content together." I began to explain. She lay a hand on my shoulder and smiled at me. „Then I'm sure you're gonna have lots of fun with them."
