Andy's POV
"This is a horrible idea." I leant against the wall of the lounge, watching Bradie do something on his laptop. Shaun was on his way over.
"Why must you be so negative? What if this girl has more really good ideas? We could end up with a freaking awesome video."
I ignored him and turned around to walk down the hall towards my room. I entered in just in time to see Shaun pull up outside and get out of the car. He walked up the path and I heard a knock on the door. Bradie let him and they started talking about what was happening. I walked back out to where they were sitting.
"You look happy to see me." Shaun observed sarcastically.
"Yes. Because I am so happy to be Skyping a fan girl"
"Well you're the one that thought she was hot."
"Doesn't mean she's not crazy!" I retorted. "Some of the hottest ones are the craziest!"
"And you wouldn't know that if you didn't try fuck them all." Bradie snapped back.
"Look, don't try turning this round on me okay? Shaun, what time is she gonna be on?" I said.
"She said she would be on in 15 minutes." Shaun said, checking his phone for the time. "So she should be on now."
"Did you give her the username?" Bradie asked.
"Yup." Shaun leant over to look at the screen. "I am pretty sure that's her." Shaun said pointing to one of the people that had tried to add us."It's the same username and photo as her twitter."
Bradie nodded and hit the call button. He sat the laptop on the table in front of him and I moved over on the couch so I would be in the camera frame. It rang for a few seconds and then there was a click. A black frame came onto the screen as we waited for the other end to show up. The audio came in before the video and we heard loud music being played. The video came in and I recognised as Belle.
"Sorry just a sec." She said, playing with something off screen. The music went silent as she turned back to the camera. "Sorry, didn't realise you were calling."
We introduced ourselves and talked for a little bit about the video. I basically just sat there and observed the conversation. She seemed nice and normal, but that didn't mean she wasn't crazy.
"So." I cut in. "Basically the purpose of this was so see if you were a fan girl." I felt Shaun and Bradie's death glares on me at once, but Belle just laughed.
"Yeah I kinda guessed as much. That's why my door is barricaded." She leaned to the right to show that a chest of draws had been moved in front of the door, preventing it from being opened.
"Why'd you do that?" Bradie asked.
"Well I may not be a fan girl, but I have a friend called Lilly who isn't really a fan girl, but she can come off as one because she's very... Enthusiastic. So I thought it best she not be included in this. Don't get me wrong, she is really cool and one of my closest friends! She just doesn't always know when to stop."
"Okay, fair enough." Shaun replied. Just as he said this, there was a knock at Belle's door.
"Belle! I left something of mine in your room! Can I get it before you Skype Short Stack and lock me out?" That must have been Lilly.
"Just a moment." Belle stood up and walked over to her door, opening it as much as the chest of draws would allow. "What?" She hissed. She soon closed the door and returned to her seat.
"Hey Belle, what exactly are you wearing?" Shaun asked. He was right. When Belle had been sitting down, it looked as if she was wearing a black singlet, but when she had stood up it look like she was wearing a leotard of something.
"Oh! I just had dance practice before and I haven't changed yet. I'm wearing a cut out leopard, fishnet tights and black knee high boots." She explained, showing as she did so.
"Hey so your accent. You're a Kiwi right? When did you move to Australia?" I asked.
"What? Oh no I don't live in Australia. I used to when I was three but we moved back here after a while." She replied.
"Dude, should you know that from stalking her Facebook?" Bradie said to me.
"You stalked my Facebook?" Belle said.
"What no. I didn't do anything that that at all." I tried to cover up. I don't think she bought it.
"Moving along." Bradie said. "Are you at Uni? Cause it looks like you're in a hostel or something."
"Nope, wrong again I'm still in high school, but I go to boarding school so I do live in a hostel."
We kept talking for a while but Belle eventually said that she had to go and do homework or something so we said goodbye and logged off.
"Now was that so bad." Shaun said.
"Okay so she seems nice and she may be normal, but this could still turn out badly." I replied.
"Well you'll have to get over it, because I think she should direct the video." Shaun said proudly. Bradie nodded in agreement.
"Fine, but she's inexperienced, a fan and way too young, so if this turns out badly don't come crying to me."
