Clara's POV

"I’m really sorry about involving you in all of these. Luke wasn’t thinking when he said all those to you."

I smile. Michael Clifford is really nice. He went up and tried talking to me. Although I tried ignoring him at first, he managed to trick me by telling a bad joke. I’m a sucker for bad jokes. I will laugh no matter how bad it is. Then we started chatting. 

I told him about how bad my day was and he told me about his adventures with the tour. He really is down-to-earth like many people say he is. It made me forget that he's actually quite famous.

We stopped chatting when someone knocked on the door. 

"Michael! Luke! It’s okay to come out now." a man’s voice said.

Luke got up and opened the door.

"Thanks." Luke said.

"Don’t ‘Thanks’ me! I told you kids to stop it with your trips! And now Liz is gonna kill you." the security guard said.

"Oh, stop it.You’re scaring her." Michael said as he looked at me with concern. I was still in my stall looking at them. He gestured me to come out so I did. 

"This is Clara." Michael introduced me. I smiled weakly. God, I really got tangled up real bad.

They ushered us into a car. No one spoke for a good 15 minutes until we got to our destination. We got out of the car and went inside the hotel. The security told us that the rest of the band were waiting in the hotel room. He gave us the key and we went alone. 

I was shaking like a chihuahua as we walked. I can’t believe I’m meeting 5 Seconds of Summer. PRIVATELY! Can you imagine what I would do?! I would jump up and down like a crazy maniac and scream till my lungs bleed. Okay. That was over-exaggerated but you get the point.

I just didn’t want to meet them like this. There’s a huge problem and I was all the cause of it. That’s right. I admit it was my fault. I opened the door. I just said all those things to Luke because I was stressed out. I accidentally took it all out on him.

When we got to the door, Michael noticed my shaking hands and smiled warmly at me. I believe we’re gonna be great friends.

Then the door opened even though Luke didn’t even put the key in yet. Calum was on the other side. He opened it. God, he was charming. I was blushing. I know I was.

"You’re in trouble, young man." Calum told Luke. I can’t breath. I literally can’t.

"I know." Luke said.

"Everyone’s here. Come on in." He opened the door wider to let us in. I stopped in the middle of the hallway. Oh my God.

"Hello." There’s only about 6 people in the room. Luke, Michael, Calum, Ashton, Liz and I exchanged pleasantries before moving on to business. Liz doesn't look mad though.

"Are you gonna kill me?" Luke asked his mom.

"Although that would be suitable for this situation, No, sweetheart. I won't be killing you" Liz said.

"I could do it for you, Liz" Ashton said sarcastically while tweeting on his phone.

Liz smiled and shook her head at Ashton. "There will be no need for that, Ashton. We've got a solution for this." she explained.

"So if you don’t mind…er…"  Calum said to me.

"Oh. I’m sorry. I’m Clara." I quickly said.

"Okay,Clara. If you don’t mind, we’d like to have a band meeting. Here’s a key to the room across the hallway, feel free to make yourself comfortable there and we’ll get back to you shortly." he explained to me in a kind smile. 

"Okay." So out I went.
