Rachel's P.O.V.

"Guys, relax! It'll only be for sleeping, okay?" I muttered to the angry group of boys and girls, still in the lobby.

The five boys we would be sharing with had headed up to the room already.

"Still though.. This is all messed up" Harry whined, with his arms folded.

I nodded.

"I know, but look we wont be spending much time in the rooms anyways. We're in Paris! Don't let something so minor spoil the trip!" I replied.

The boys mumbled in agreement though none of them seemed happy about it.

"She's right guys. As annoying as this is, there's nothing really we can do about it" Lena said after a minute of silence.

Zayn sighed, shrugging.

"I guess" he mumbled.

"Okay, so it's half four now. What time are we going on the boat at?" I asked.

"Six" Liam told me.

I nodded.

"Okay, well we'll go get set up in the room and then we can get going" I decided.

Everyone agreed so we headed off in our separate directions to the rooms.

I was pleasantly surprised by the room. The boys really had splashed out.

The room was huge with a double bed and three singles. The carpet was very thick and lush and the bedcovers were beautiful.

"Wow" Esmie mumbled, glancing around.

The girls were obviously impressed. They other boys seemed to have left because we heard no noise from their side of the double room.

I got cleaned up a bit and got changed, since I had just worn comfortable clothes for the plane. I got dressed into something a bit fancier. I left my hair out in its usual curly mess.

"C'mon Rach! Everyone else has gone downstairs" Lena knocked on the door of the bathroom.

I rolled my eyes, opening the door quickly.

"You know me Len, I like to be fashionably late" I told her, causing her to grin slightly.

"Well if you don't hurry up, the boat'll take off without us" she replied.

The boys had booked for us to have a private boat ride down the Seine. There was some sort of loop it did that you managed to see all of Paris. I was extremely excited about it.

We made our way down to the lobby where everyone else was waiting.

"Well take you time why don't you!" Lia teased when she spotted us.

I stuck my tongue out at her.

"You okay there Lou?" she asked suddenly, causing me to notice Louis was watching me closely.

He looked away quickly, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

Lia smirked but left it at that.

"So how exactly are we getting to this boat?" I asked, overlooking the moment quickly.

"We're taking the Metro" Niall told me, from where he was standing next to Lia.

There was a Metro station within walking distance of the hotel so we headed off in its direction.

The boys insisted on paying for the tickets. Once they had we headed down to wait for our metro.

There were only a few of the yellow plastic seats available so Lena, Lia, Naomi and Esmie took them (after a minute of persuasion from the boys). I was busy looking at the dfferent billboards on the walls.

"Hey Louis, we should go see this" I said aloud, grabbing Louis attention.

He walked over to where I was, scanning the billboard.

"It's in French" he stated.

"Yeah, but it looks cool" I replied.

He raised an amused eyebrow.

"Rach, can you even speak French?" he asked sceptically.

I shrugged.

"A little" I lied.

I couldn't speak a word of French. I had always found French boring so I had taken Spanish in school instead.

"I'm sure you can" he mumbled sarcastically, knowing I was lying.

Before I had a chance to retort, the sound of the metro coming distracted me.

We all shoved onto the metro quickly, eager to get to the river.

The metro was insanely packed. I ended up shoved up against the bar very uncomfortably.

Let's just say my first metro trip was not very fun.

Thankfully we weren't on it for too long.

When we got off, Niall began leading the way above ground. He seemed to know where he was going so I followed his casually.

The place was very packed. I was always terrible for getting lost in crowds so I linked my arm with Louis' quickly.

He turned and gave me a small smile.

We suddenly rounded a corner and I gasped.

Right in front of us was the Eiffel Tower.

"Oh my god" Naomi whispered, her eyes wide.

It was unbelievable.

It was so much bigger that I ever imagined.

"It's beautiful.." I mumbled.

Louis grinned at my expression.

"Wait 'till tomorrow when we're climbing it" he told me.

I bit my lip.

"Do we have to climb the whole thing?" I asked quietly.

Louis shook his head, chuckling at my worried expression.

"You can only climb up to the second floor. You have to take an elevator the rest of the way" he explained.

I nodded in relief.

"C'mon, the boats just over here" Harry announced, pointing to the steps in front of the Eiffel Tower.

I let Louis lead me forward.

This was sure to be one hell of a boat trip.
