I turned off my phone , shoving it into my back pocket before handing the lady at the gate my ticket and passport .

It's been a whole month since I seen Lachlan face to face . We talk all the time but it just isn't the same .

I was hoping he was coming to E3 but he said that the travel would be too long and he wouldn't make it in time for the first and maybe even the second day of the convention .

" You excited ? " Jerome asked as I walked through the hall leading up to the plane .

" Yeah " I replied .

Jerome and I are going to E3 . Mitch isn't coming cause he has to buy some supplies for his Power Moves Only booth at Arcadiacon which is happening later this month .

" Then LEZGOOOOOO ! " Jerome yelled as he rode his suitcase down the hall towards the airplane .

I rolled my eyes and followed , dragging my suitcases behind me .

• After 5 Hour Flight , In LA •

" Ally ! " I cried as Jerome and I were waiting for our bags .

Ally turned around and spotted me before coming over and pulling me into a tight hug .

I hugged her back before we pulled away .

" E3 Hype ! " Ally smiled and I nodded .

" I am pretty excited " I said .

" Let me introduce you to a few people " Ally subjested before turning towards a group of boys standing a few feet away ." Guys ! I have someone for you to meet ! ".

They all walked over to us and I smiled at them .

There was Vikk who I knew , a boy with a dirty blond quiff , one with dark hair and a small beard , another with dark skin wearing a SnapBack and headphones , and lastly one with a cute cubby looking face . ( A/N : Sorry about the way I described Ethan XD )

" Maddie , this is Simon , Josh , Tobi , Ethan and Vikk who you already know " she addressed , pointing to each person in order .

" Hello " I said giving them a shy smile and a small wave .

" And guys this is Maddie or Madeline and she's Lachlan's girlfriend " Ally told them .

" Hello , nice to meet you Maddie " Simon greeted in a British accent .

" Well it's nice to meet you Maddie , but if you don't excuse me , I better go get my suitcases before I lose anything " Josh said in his British accent as well shaking my hand quickly .

" Yeah , nice to meet you Maddie , see you around " Tobi replied .

Ethan shook my hand as well and gave me a smile before heading off with the other guys .

They parted off and it was just Ally and I again .

" Yeah , I think I will go get my bags and come back to you . We'll ride together with the guys okay ? " Ally subjected and I nodded before we went to get bags and stuff .

• After Getting Bags •

" So Maddie , what do you do for a living ? " Simon asked and we all fell silent .

Ally , Vikk , Simon , Josh , Tobi , Ethan and I were all riding in a large bus to our hotel while Jerome stayed back a little longer for ... I don't know . He wouldn't tell me for some reason .

" I'm a YouTuber , 1.5 million subs , ShortPencilCrayons , gamer/vlogger " I explained and they looked impressed .

" Vikk , Simon , Josh , Ethan and I are all YouTubers , in a group called The Ultimate Sidemen , The Sidemen for short " Tobi spoke up .

I thought about that for a second . The Sidemen , I heard that name before ...

" Oh , I'll heard of you guys ! Isn't there 7 of you ? " I asked .

" Yeah , Harry and JJ didn't come to E3 this year cause they are absolute dickheads " Josh joked and I let out a chuckle .

For the rest of the ride to the hotel , we got to know each other , made tones of jokes and had fun .

When the ride was over we all got out of the bus and checked into our rooms .

I picked up my suitcases but suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder . I turned around to see Simon smiling at me .

" Need help ? " he asked .

" Um , yeah . Sure , I guess " I said awkwardly .

He picked up a few of my bags along with his and we both headed towards the elevator .

" What room are you in ? " he asked before clicking any buttons .

" Room 816 " I answered .

" Wow , we have rooms right across from each other . Room 817 " he smirked before pressing the 8th floor button .

There was a silence until he spoke up .

" Are you excited for E3 ? " he asked .

" Yeah , it's my first time going ".

" Really ? Well , it's pretty fun . There's a lot of things to see " Simon informed .

I nodded slowly before the elevator doors opened . We walked down the corridor until we reached rooms .

I took the room key out of my pocket , unlocking my door .

" Thanks for helping me " I smiled , taking my bags from Simon .

" No problem , see you around " he said before turning towards his door and opening his .

I dragged my suitcases inside and closed the door behind me .

" Wow " I breathed as I scanned the room .

There was a bathroom to the left as soon as you come in with a stylish shower , a marble sink and a regular toilet .

I walked into the bedroom part of the room and flung myself onto the king sized bed , embracing the lemon scented white sheets .

There was a bedside table with a outlet beside it ( thank god ) and a large flat screen TV on the wall in front of the bed .

And lastly , to the side was a large desk with a chair and behind that a large window with the small view of LA through a crack between of two other large hotels .

I rate this room 8/8 M8 .

I moved my suitcases to a corner of the room , selected a outfit ( A/N : Outfit in Media ) and hopped into the shower .

• After Showering •

I dried off my hair and body , applied a small amount of makeup , put on my outfit and did my hair up into a ponytail .

My phone beeped from where I left it on the bedside table . I quickly raced over to grab it , looking at my new text message from Ally .

I started scrolling through Twitter when a few minutes later someone knocked at the door .

I hurried over and opened it to see Ally standing there with her phone .

" Come in " I said as she stepped into the room .

I closed the door behind her and she picked up the phone for the room .

" What shall we eat today ? " she asked , flipping through the menu .

" The burgers like good " I said , leaning over her shoulder .

" Yeah , let's get it " she said , dialing the number for room service .

She ordered for the both of us as we sat cross legged on my bed .

" So , what do you think about Simon ? " she asked , setting the phone back down on the receiver .

I raised a eyebrow . " He's nice ".

She rolled her eyes . " I mean , do you find him cute ? Charming ? ".

" Ally , I have a boyfriend " I said firmly .

She laughed . " I was just asking since he seems to have a eye on you ".

" Really ? I haven't noticed " I said , picking at the white nail polish on my finger nails .

" You should have . In the car he was staring at you and when we got to the hotel he offered to help you with your bags " she pointed out .

" So ? Maybe he's just a gentleman " I snapped .

" Yeah sure , whatever makes you sleep at night " Ally replied , rolling her eyes at me .

I thought about what Ally said ... does Simon like me ?
