Hey everyone! So, this is the chapter where they go to the premiere. I got some great feedback from all of you for the last chapter and I'm so glad; I always love to here what you guys think and it means a lot to know what you found funny and what you think of the characters, so keep those reviews coming!
On my Polyvore (areuacat) are the shoot outfits (boys + girls) for Fearlessness, and the girls outfits for the premiere (I wrote what the guys wear a few chapters back, so go look that up to!). So go check that out and tell me which outfits you like the most! Cindy's is the favourite premiere dress I think, but if u have a different view, lemme know.
Oh, and I've also decided that I'll update 'glee' every Monday, okay? Because it takes AGES to copy out and write, so at least now I have a specific day. Sorry! So obviously, that means that it's up now. So feel free to check that out, and thank you for supporting me, not just on this fic, but on Who you are, who you'll grow to be, glee and any of my other stories. I love you all for it. xx
Also, PM me for Homework rankings, only 1 person did and I'm happy to tell anyone about who came where from these three weeks. Thanks and enjoy!
After everyone watched in horror as Jaia swallowed a spoonful of Baby food and ran off to be sick, the final ten decided that it might be time to stop. Jack sat cross-legged in the corner, eating his tinned peaches, smirking.
"You bastard" Jaia mumbles when she comes back in. Jack grins.
"You love me really!"
"Nope, not really." Jaia replies cockily, and Jack pushes her shoulder.
"Yo! We need to get ready, so if you guys could stop having eye-sex, that'd be great." Emily calls from the girls dorm. Jaia stands up in shock.
"We weren't! Ugh" She groans, stomping into the bedroom. Jack hauls himself up to his feet, unable to wipe the smile off his face. She was just so...
No.
I can't do that to Pierce, he'd f*cking kill me! Jack shakes his head and throws his tin can of fruit in the bin, his appetite lost. He wanders into the guys dorm and grabs his black and white suit off it's hanger, slinging it on the bed carelessly. In the corner, Ollie is doing up his shirt. He catches Jack looking at him and flashes a smile which Jack returns. Ollie saunters over and puts an arm around his friend.
"You okay man?"
"I'll be alright" Jack replies, pulling his shirt off over his head and throwing it on the floor. Ollie continues buttoning up his shirt beside him.
"Guys, how long do you think the girls are gonna take?" West queries as he fixes his hair in the mirror.
"To be completely honest, I have no idea. And that scares the sh*t out of me."
Four and a half hours later, the girls emerge from their dorm. As soon as they enter the living area, all the guys stand up in anticipation. Emily comes in first, and the boys look her up and down, Jack not being able to deny how hot she looks.
I'm with Jenna. And I fancy Jaia. I can't like Emily to! Why are girls so freaking complicated!
Penny follows behind her, the gold sparkles on her dress shimmering in the artificial light. She turns behind her and sees Cindy enter. West's knees go week and he has to sit down so as not to fall over. Cindy stands tall in a black and blue, skin-tight topped dress and stilletto heels.
"Sh*t man, she's taller than you." Ace chuckles beside him, and West punches his arm to make him shut up.
(He was right though, he was like a little woodland creature compared to her.)
Jaia then slips through the doorway, in a short, black skin-tight dress with laced sleeves. Her hair was down (which basically never happened) and curled to the side, held in my a glittery black hair slide. Pierce had to lean on Ollie to retain his balance.
Then, all the guys jaws dropped when Chesney cautiously ambled in. She wore a long, hot pink dress, with a sparkling pink belt. Her hair was as normal, except she'd put in hair extentions. She. Looked. Beautiful.
How can one girl look so amazing, and not have enough confidence to see it herself? Ollie wonders, unable to get over how great she looked.
"Are we ready?" Penny asked, and all the guys could merely reply with a feeble nod. As Ollie left campus, he was shoulder-to-shoulder with Chesney.
"You look beautiful tonight" Ollie blurted, immediately kicking himself for it. Chesney turned to him and smiled a sweet smile, shocked by what he said.
"Who? Me?" Ollie tried to make his mouth co-ordinate iwth his brain.
"Uh, yeah. You seriously look really, really good." Chesney's whole face lit up, and she beamed at Ollie.
"Thank you!" Suddenly, Chesney didn't feel so shy anymore. For the first time, she actually felt beautiful. And it was all thanks to Ollie.
The boy grinned, thrilled that he made her so happy. He outstretched his arm and Chesney took it, and they stayed like that until they reached the limo. Behind them were Cindy and West, who walked with their arms around each other's waists, talking intimately.
"I'm so happy to be here with you" Cindy says with a smile, and West nods in agreement.
"Me too, Me too..."
Chesney's POV
The drive to the premiere is filled with laughter and small talk. No one really feels like their in their comfort zone, forced out into the world that might soon be there's. It's weird, but kind of nice at the same time. Like a little taste of glory. And it's only made better by the fact that, for the first time in a long time, I feel pretty. Truly beautiful. Ollie squeezes my hand as the car slows down to a halt.
"You ready?" He asks.
"Ready as I'll ever be" I reply nervously, and he gives me a supportive smile. He pecks me quickly on the cheek.
"Don't worry, you're ready for this. You'll be amazing." He reassures me, and somehow, that's enough. The limo door opens and we're plunged into stardom.
Penny's POV
As I step out of the car, I'm blinded by the bright flashes of cameras, my head filled with their little clicks and people screaming my name (well, it's someone else's name, but I like to live in hope). Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Emily smile at me. I glanced over at Cindy who stands posing with West. At least she's happy. It's strange that, even though no one knows who we are, someone still wants to take our picture. The fact that this will become our lives is surreal. I see Robert a good few metres ahead of us, gesturing for us to follow him. I nod and jog Emily, so we start walking towards him. No one else seems to notice though, but it doesn't matter. This is our time now, our moment, and I'm not going to let anyone take that away from me.
Jaia's POV
Being here right now is bittersweet. I mean, this is what I always dreamed of, but seeing all the other girls together makes me feel like even more of an outcast. It reminds me that Jenna's not here. She was my only real girl friend in the competition; the other girls were on a different wavelength to us, and that was okay when she was here.
But now she's gone.
Now, I have no one to gush about how hot Skylar Austin is, or to scream Fat Amy quotes with. Because no one else understands. No one but her.
The guys are great and everything, and I love them for taking me under their wing and looking after me, but being friends with a guy is different than with a girl. I see Pierce looking at me with a worried expression and I smile, putting my thumbs up. His brow furrows for a second, like he's still not certain, but then he turns back to Jack and continues his conversation. Jack glances at me and smiles, mouthing 'You okay' to me.
'I'll be fine' I return, and trail after Emily and Penny towards Robert.
You know, I thought that this would make me forget how much I miss her, but it just brings it all back. Jenna was a part of me- and a part of Jack obviously- but no one except us really cares that she's gone. And that's what hurts the most.
Jack's POV
"Oh my god, I think Anna Kendrick just winked at me!" Pierce exclaims, cocking his head at 'Anna Kendrik' (who's not even there). I shake my head. He's got a girl like Jaia, but isn't even acknowledging her and is flirting with other girls? That's bang out of order.
"Dude, you've got a girlfriend. Stop acting like a child and grow up" I spit, and Ollie blinks a few times in shock. Pierce also looks impressed. He rolls up his sleeves.
"Wow, that's rich coming from you: The guy who ate a whole chilli as a dare" Pierce shot back, making Jack see his 'friend' in a different light.
"Look, that's different. I just think that you need to show her a bit of respect" Pierce scoffs and just stalks off, and Jack smiles to himself slightly.
"Dude-" Ollie starts, about to begin a lecture.
"I know, I know"
Pierce's POV
I know he's right. I feel like an idiot. Jaia was obviously upset, feeling alone, and I should've taken more care of her. Damn! I hate myself. I just hate how heartless I can be just to satisfy myself and dodge all the stress and crap that comes with serious business. Jaia means so much to me. But right now, she needs me, more. I need to be there for her. When I get to her, she's chatting with Robert. As everyone begins to go inside, Robert ushers us in with them. I catch up to Jaia and put my arm around her before kissing her on the lips.
"What was that for?" She asks as she takes her seat. I smile.
"To apologise" I reply simply, taking my seat next to her.
"For...?"
"For everything"
Jack passes me and I pat the two seats I saved for him and Ollie. Jack hesitates, but Ollie whispers something in Chesney's ear and she nods. He then takes a seat on the end of the row. Jack sighs and perches next to me. I lean in to him on my armrest.
"You were right. I'm sorry for being such a douche. I need to learn the limits" Jack nods and I put my fist out towards him. He bumps his fist on mine and we do our special handshake of awesome...ness (as Emily and Penny call it). The lights dim and the large screen at the front of the theatre flickers before roaring to life. I put my hand out and Jaia takes it. She smiles, so I smile.
Ace's POV
"I haven't laughed so much in ages!" Emily shouts in a high pitched voice once we set off back to the campus. She's right. That experience was priceless.
"Wait... are you saying that Fat Amy's quips are funnier than mine? Bitch Please!" Cindy giggles, doing the 'talk to the hand' motion which makes me smile.
"What quips?" Emily shrieks. Cindy, unsure of what to say, sticks out her tongue.
"Cind, no offence hun, but sass doesn't suit you." West admits, putting his hand on her shoulder.
"Oh yeah, well who does it suit?" Cindy responds, crossing her arms.
"Ahem, me." Ollie replies, and I see Jack bite his lip to stop himself from laughing.
"Dressing up in womens clothing and singing 'Man I feel like a woman' at the top of your lungs isn't sass Ollie, it's a sad, confused nineteen year old in drag." Jaia shoots back jokily as she sits on Pierce's lap as he strokes her hair.
"Yeah, there's a difference. Shockingly." Pierce continues dryly, making Jaia laugh.
"See Cindy, Jaia said a quip. That's a quip." Chesney explains, and Cindy shakes her head in denial.
"Sure, and pigs do fly." Cindy scoffs, rolling her eyes.
"They can do, I'll show you if you like. Westy?" I challenge, grabbing West's arm.
"Oink."
So, here's a question. Who's the funniest contestant? Do you like Jaia's quips, Cindy's denial, Pierce and Chesney's sarcasm or Ollie and Jack's stupidity? Or is there someone else you find totes hilarious? There's a new poll up on my profile, so go vote! Thanks guys x
