"DC! DC! DC!" Ashton yelled as the bus pulled to a stop, the older boy running outside and spinning around in the sunshine.
"He's such a weirdo.." Luke muttered, following Ashton off the bus, and I quickly followed after him, Cal and Michael trailing behind me.
"So, where to first?" I asked the boys as I fiddled with the front-tie on my black spaghetti-strap tank top.
"Anywhere I guess," Cal said, shrugging.
"Well, I've got the camera," I said, grabbing the black device from my purse and holding it up.
Since we were in DC, and I didn't feel like being hounded by a thousand security guards by going with my brother and his friends, I settled for four security guards and a photoshoot with my bus mates. We had somewhat dressed up for the occasion, and now we just needed our first destination.
"We can start with the Jefferson Memorial," Michael suggested, do the paddleboats in the Tidal Basin there."
Bidding goodbye to Harry and the other boys, we were herded into a car to take us to the memorial, and I quickly composed a tweet as I sat in the backseat, inbetween Calum and Michael.

"Here we are!" Ashton yelled as soon as the driver, Vincent, dropped us off.
"So, do you think a ton of people will recognize us here?" Calum asked.
I shrugged. "I don't know. Are you guys huge in America?"
Michael shook his head. "Nope, and I'm sure only huge One Direction fans would recognize you, hence the few bodyguards we have with us."
"Let's do this," I said, and the guys ran up to the steps of the memorial, posing as I shot a picture of them.
"Julie, let's get one of you up there." Luke said, taking the camera from me.
"We'll pose with Julie!" Cal and Michael said, coming up and each of them throwing an arm around me.
Luke snapped the picture, and then Ashton ran over to rent two paddleboats. We met him over there after a few moments, and then were herded over to get life jackets from one of the workers.
"Okay, so basically, we'll have two people in one, and two people in another, the third riding in the back of the boat." Ashton explained to us as we pulled on lifejackets.
"I'm with Ashton!" Cal yelled.
"And I'll ride in the back of theirs since I'm too lazy to paddle myself." Michael commented nonchalantly.
"So, Julie, I guess you're with me then." Luke said, smiling softly.
"Alright," I said softly.
Following Luke onto our boat, I realized he still had the camera, so I took out my phone and got a picture of the two of us on the boat and the other three in the background on their boat.

All of a sudden, my mentions started blowing up, and one look at the trending page told me that the new trend worldwide was simple: #Juke.
"Just don't worry about it," Luke said, noticing my worried expression. "They'll soon learn that we're not dating, and if you're worried about Harry, it's like you said the first time people started shipping us. Harry knows you wouldn't do that."
"You're right," I said, smiling. "Thanks Luke,"
Without thinking, I absentmindedly gave Luke a quick peck on the cheek, before grabbing the camera from him and taking a picture of Michael, Calum, and Ashton on theirs. Ash and Cal were both giving a thumbs up to the camera while Michael, ever so classy, was flipping the camera off.
