OLIVES POV:
I knew this was a bad idea ever since Chyna mentioned it! And here we are now running from people trying to catch the bus. Fletcher sprints faster than both me and Chyna and just reaches the bus before it leaves. We all sigh in relief and get money out. Chyna gets her ticket and sits down in the middle of the bus. While Fletcher pays for his ticket I notice a gang of teenage boys come onto the bus behind me, I can hear their gruff voices talking and laugh.
"Hey dude, look at this hot blondie in front of us, we could pull her easy!" Says one of them in no attempt of a whisper.
I suddenly tense up and start to feel very uncomfortable. Not only that they called me a blondie but the fact they noticed me and thought I was easy to 'pull', whatever that means. Fletcher goes to sit down in the seat behind Chyna. He watches me buy my ticket and he then notices the boys behind me, he glares at them. It makes me smile how he is so protective even when he doesn't realise. After I get my ticket I make my way over to the seat next to Fletcher. As I sit down, Fletcher looks at me and sees that I feel hot and uneasy.
"Are you okay Olive?" He asks cautiously.
"Yeah, you look kind of ill." Agrees Chyna.
"No no, I'm fine! Just a bit tired." I force a smile.
Chyna shrugs and looks forward but Fletcher senses something is up. The gang of boys walk past, they were all staring at me and the one that looked like the ring leader winked at me. He had shaggy blonde hair and a flat peaked hat. He was nothing compared to Fletcher, who was wearing cream coloured skinny jeans and a purple t-shirt with a paint splattered pattern on it. He was also wearing bright blue high tops with orange bits and black laces. I mean... Not that I look at what he was wearing.
Fletcher saw the boy wink at me and he scowled at him defensively. My cheeks burn, I felt very very awkward. I don't normally get boy attention like this. It's always Chyna getting the attention, not me. I felt unsafe, I didn't know what to do. My hands tensed up and began to get hot. Fletcher noticed this and put his hand on my hand lovingly and squeezed it gently. I looked up at him and he mouthed 'calm down you're okay'. I smiled and nodded and automatically felt safe again.
"We're almost there! Yay!" Chyna says, jumping in her seat with excitement and turning round to face us.
Fletcher quickly removes his hand from mine and pretends he was sorting out his hair. I laughed at the fact that it was a stupid cover up.
"Wow Chyna, you're really looking forward to this huh?" I say with a giggle.
"Well duh! It's once in a life time, an offer like this!" Chyna says with a grin.
"I'm sure you will be amazing and they will have to give you a record deal!" Fletcher says encouragingly.
"Yeah, they can't turn a talented girl like you down!" I back up Fletcher's point.
"Awww, thanks guys, you're the bestest friends ever!" Chyna says with a smile.
"Chyna... Bestest is not a word, it's just best or you could say the most best." I say, correcting her. Fletcher and Chyna sigh.
"What she means to say is thanks." Fletcher chuckles. We all laugh at each other.
FLETCHERS POV:
Olive looked beautiful today, even though she does every day but today was somehow different. I didn't have time to notice before but now as we sit on this bus I do. She was wearing denim jeggings with cream pumps and a yellow t-shirt with a pink cardigan on top. She also had a yellow head band on her head.
I could hear the boys behind us talking about Olive like she was just another useless girl. It made me angry. I knew that she felt very uneasy around them but I don't know why, she's normally okay around other people. But maybe the fight I had in her house shook her up a bit. I hang my head in guilt, knowing I scared her. My eyes wondered to outside the bus window, there was a lake and a beautiful sun ray bouncing off the flowing, clear water. It would be amazing to paint with watercolours, it was so serene, so silent, so...
"Yay! We're here!" Chyna sing songs cheerfully, interrupting my thoughts.
"Jeez Chyna! Every heard of in-bus voices!" I joke.
"Actually Fletch, it's indoor voices..." Olive corrects me. I shake my head and smile.
"I know it is Olive, I was joking around." I smile.
"Ahh... That makes more sense." She giggles as the bus comes to a stop.
We all stand up and start to make our way off the bus, but just before we get to the opening door, one of the boys who were sat behind us shout to us, well to Olive.
"Bye sexy, see you in bed tonight babe!"
Olive was in shock at his rudeness and was speechless, she looked anywhere but them, they were laughing uncontrollably. I gently put my arm around her shoulder and start to lead her off the bus. Before we step off I couldn't help but shout back a reply.
"Too bad she can do a lot better than an asshole like you!"
The bus door closes just before one of the boys answer back. Olive gently slaps the side of my arm while laughing.
"Fletcher!" She giggles.
"Go Fletcher!" Chyna claps.
I watch as the bus sped away, the boys were swearing at me. I found this quite funny and pathetic. I smiled at them innocently and waved.
"Come on, let's go inside!" Chyna grins.
We all look up at the tall, modern building. It intimidated us, it was amazing to this that us, the A. got to go to the most successful record selling company building in all of California. We walk to the huge doors and enter.
Thanks for reading guys, hope you enjoyed it! I'll answer any questions you ask :)
