Narrative:

Taxiing out for takeoff on runway 19 at dca. I switched over to talk to passenger. Captain was crossing hold line onto runway 19 when I switched back. I asked if we were cleared and he stated we were cleared for takeoff. Tower told us to make a 180 degrees and hold short. A different airplane (same company) had been cleared for takeoff on runway 15 and my captain thought it was for us. A contributing factor was another aircraft ahead of us was told to pull aside because we would be going out first.
