Chapter 4

Nick sat up front with the driver while I sat in the middle; Zak on my left, Aaron on my right.

"So where are we goin' to eat?" I asked.

"Mexican," Aaron said.

"Chinese" Nick argued.

"Here we go again," Zak said rolling his eyes. Nick and Aaron went back and forth a little while until Zak said, "How about we let Lynn decide since she's new?"

They looked at Zak, "Who's Lynn?"

"That would be me," I said pointing to myself, "And I vote Chinese. I'm sorry Aaron, but I just can't do authentic Mexican."

"Okay then, it's settled. Driver take us to the Chinese place." Zak said

The driver took us to this place called China Buffet that was only three or four blocks from the hotel. We got out and walked inside. It looked like any other Chinese place, but they had a bigger variety than other Chinese places I had been to which was cool. They guys headed straight for the buffet as I followed the waitress to our booth.

"What you like to drink," the waitress asked with a slight Chinese accent

"Uuhh…Coke is fine. I don't know about them though."

"Okay. I come back later."

"Thank-you." I put my hands under my legs and rocked side to side to warm up until they came back.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Nick asked as him and Aaron slid into the opposite side of the booth.

"Yeah, but somebody had to keep the table occupied so you'd know where to sit," I said standing up. I went and got some Crab Rangoon, General Tso's chicken, and some Singapore Chow Mein Fun before going back to the table.

"Geeze, girl. Got enough food?" Aaron joked.

"Look who's talkin' Mr. I-Had-To-Mound-Pile-Two-Plates, I'm just sayin'." I said nodding my head a few times. They all laughed. We ate in silence for the most part after that except when Aaron started a mini food fight. The food was delicious. Once we got back into the car we were all bellyaching from eating and laughing so much. I leaned against Zak and closed my eyes.

"No you don't. We still got interviews to do before you pass out," he said poking me.

"Waaaaaahhhh! I sad," I pouted.

"Come on. It'll be fun," Aaron said.

"Huh, okay. I'd like to see you go through today with only four hours of sleep at the most." I said looking at him. The driver stopped at some old building that had the words COUNTY JAIL painted on the front. Oh joy. A jail. Just where I always wanted to go. I mentally rolled my eyes. We all got out and stretched. Aaron grabbed a camera from the back for him and Nick before we walked inside.

The interviews seemed to drag on forever, but really it was only two hours at the most. We got back to the hotel around three and so help me, the lobby was half packed with fans. I was good, though, and kept my mouth shut as they signed autographs and took pictures and whatnot. But when Zak and I got up to our floor it was a different story. Huddled against the left wall was this group of girls talking. At first I paid no attention to them, until one of them started talking.

"Hey! Aren't you that investigator guy from the Travel Channel?" She asked in a fake, high pitched voice as she started walking towards us, her posse in tow.

"Yeah," Zak replied.

"Hi, my name's Britney. I'm a huge fan of your work." I gave her my 'really?' look. "What brings you out here to-"

"Look, we'd love to stay and chat, but we've had a long day so if you wouldn't mind," I said trying to walk around them to get to our room. They all slid over and stepped in front of me.

"What's the rush?" One said.

"We just want to talk," Britney said.

I looked at them, "Okay, listen here, Bitch. Either you and your little hag friends get the fuck outta my way right NOW or I smash in that fake ass Barbie face of yers. Your choice," I said darkly, crossing my arms. She opened her mouth to say something when I reared back and socked her in the middle of her nose. I then grabbed her by the roots of her hair and kneed her in the gut before shoving her to the side. I looked at the other two, "Ya'll got something' to say?" They quickly shook their heads. "Then I suggest you MOVE." They moved to the left as fast as they could to let me through.

I think Zak was in shock because he didn't say anything until we got into the room.

"Lynn!"

"What?" I asked crawling into my bed and snuggling my pillow.

"You just beat up some girl in the hallway!"

"Bitch got in my way," I said pulling the covers over my shoulder and passing out.
