*Brooklyn's P.O.V*

It's 6:30pm and we're supposedly meant to be down stairs for dinner at 7:00pm. Normally, I could easily be ready in half an hour but I really want to look good and all of my stuff is all crinkled and stuffed in my suitcase. Me and Bella made a deal that I would get out all the clothes and stuff we'd need for this weekend and she'd pack them because Bella always forgets to bring something that's vital whenever she packs. But now it's quite clear that Bella also hates packing and she'd rather throw everything in the suitcase.

"Stop moaning!" Bella says as she shuts me up. All I said was that she could have at least folded the clothes but I suppose I would do the same. I grab my knee length black socks and pull them on along with a black skater skirt and a black see through blouse. My bra is slightly visible through it but its black too and my long, wavy hair covers it so I should be fine. I brush through my hair quickly and then do my makeup. It's rare to see me wear loads of make-up and today isn't going to be one of those rare occasions. I put on some powder, mascara and a little bit of black eyeliner on my waterline.

"Is this too revealing?" I nervously ask Bella, as she walks back into our room after being in the bathroom for an hour. She shakes her head and insists that it is the right balance between classy and hot but butterflies continue to erupt in my stomach as we leave our room. Bella decided to wear a tight black dress that has a laced top but she dresses it down with her black converse. Me and Bella aren't really the type to always wear heals. For me it's mainly because I'm quite tall but I don't often go out to places where I need to wear heals so I don't really buy any. Although, Bella is shorter than me she also would prefer to wear Converses or Vans over a pair of glitzy heals any day.

We make our way into the hall and everyone is wearing dresses and I suddenly feel really underdressed. Bella and I walk over to the table that Lauryn and Becky are sitting at and take our seat where our name card is. It's just my luck that I'm sat between Luke and Bella. Luke shoots me a grin as I sit next to him and I smile at him in return.

"What's up?" He whispers to me as soon as I begin to tap my nails against the wooden, circular table.

"I feel really underdressed compared to everyone else." I admit.

"You're telling me! The boys and I are wearing black ripped skinny jeans with tops that say stuff like 'peace off' or 'you complete mess' with our little twig arms out." Luke says as he points to his and a boy who I had never seen before's top. I mumble under my breath how I don't think his arms are 'twigs' and a massive smile takes over his face."But if it makes you feel any better I think you look better than most of the other girls here anyway." He adds on making me blush instantly. Thankfully he turned around to pay attention to the person speaking again before he could notice the rouge shade of my cheeks.

"You like him!" Giggles Bella, in my ear. I give her a look to say 'what the hell no!' but she just raises her eyebrows before laughing again as she sips her drink.

By the end of the meal I'm getting drowsy because I'm jet lagged but we still have to rehearse for tomorrow. Bella leads the way up to our room with me, Becky and Lauryn trailing behind her. When we get in I pick up my guitar and start strumming it to the tune of Because Of You by Kelly Clarkson, which is our first song we're going to perform. But my throat hurts from having to shout over everyone at dinner to even try to have a conversation so my vocals are worn out.

"Brook your voice is all scratchy you need to rest it or it will get worse and we can't risk that." Becky tells me.

"Yeah, I mean that's what happens when you try to flirt all night no matter how loud your surroundings are." Bella adds sassily. I squint at her before shrugging and mention her getting chatted up by Calum under my breath. She squints her eyes at me making me just smirk and we both let out a little laugh.
