Beach Boy - Colby Brock Fanfiction

Celebration pt.4

All of us except for Andie who had went to use the restroom, were at a ticket spinner game. It's almost like spin it to win it. There's a large spinning circle with different numbers in each rectangle drawn onto it. On the outside is a lever you have to push down to get the circle to spin. Once it stops, a small triangle will point to whichever number of tickets you got. Whatever number that was, is the amount of tickets that spit out of the ticket slot.

  We had each taken a turn, and now was Aaron's turn to spin. He told us he's gotten the jackpot more times then he can count. If that's true, than damn Aaron be my sugar daddy.

  "Go!" Shouts Jake. The tall boy brought the lever up and pushed it back down roughly.

  The brightly colored slots spun around until slowed down nearing a stop. The quick clicks from the arrow settled as our eagerness grew. "There's no way." Elton predicted in disbelief. The jackpot was fiercely close to the small arrow, if Aaron got this he would have 500 extra tickets.

  *click click.. click... click....click*

  The arrow stopped on the 500 expectedly unexpected.

  "OOOOOOOOOH!" The boys and I roared. Jumping around in an excited huddle we cheered so loud I'm sure Andie could hear from in the bathroom. Devyn giggled at the happy group and I as we bounced around watching the tickets spit out from the ticket slot.

  Aaron pulled off the terribly long strip of tickets that he soon bunched into his pockets.

We walked away to find another game to play, until we got interrupted in the most amazing way possible.

  A younger girl who seemed about the age of 14 or 15 walked up to us all with a nervous, but happy smile. She had shoulder length wavy red hair. Freckles, and green eyes with big Harry Potter like glasses. She was very pretty I have to admit but I swear not in a creepy way. She wore a light pink T-Shirt which actually turned out to be Colby's merch. A long white rectangle with the words "Take Chances" was plastered on the chest. Along with the shirt was a pair of slightly baggy, light blue jeans with rips all over. Her shoes were high top checkered vans in the colors of white and black.

  "Um, hi." She waves. "Hi." Everyone else greets. I was stood behind Colby and Sam. I kept silent and just smiled since surely she didn't recognize me. "I'm Jayla, and I'm a really big fan of all of you." Her voice was shy and calm, but it was clear to tell she was freaking out internally.

  Corey butts in with a quick joke. "Really? No way, I'm a big fan of you!"

  Jayla laughs along with the others before asking another question. "Would uh, would it be alright if I got a picture with you guys?"

  "Of course!" Everyone smiles as Jayla takes out her phone. "Hold on who's gonna take it?" Jake points out. "I can.: I offered.

  I was handed the phone that was already turned on and set on the camera. Just as everyone got huddled up and posed, I was stopped by the redhead.

  "Wait, are you Jordan?" She wondered. This took me by surprise, I didn't except her to recognize me. "Yeah, I am." I gave a confused grin. "No way! I saw you in Corey and Colby's videos. I really like you."

  Not only did this make my entire day, it reminded me I haven't checked the comments on either of the boy's videos to see people's opinions of me. I made a mental note to check later, and continued the conversation.

  "Wait really?" I made sure. I sounded more excited than she did. "Yes! You're hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing when you showed up."

  I genuinely could not believe this was happening. And the fact that Andie was missing it.

  "Wow, well that's awesome! I'm glad to hear that."

  Everyone was smiling at the situation, but especially Sam and Colby. I was clearly thrilled and the two seemed to love the sight of that. I don't think I've ever seen all of them smile as wide as they were right now. If I could save this moment to keep, I would within a heartbeat.

  Jayla looked around for a bit before tapping on a woman's shoulder.

  "Excuse me, would you mind taking our picture?" She asked, her head turned to us all.

  Even with the fact that she said she liked me, I didn't expect her to want a picture with me. I was fine still just taking the picture for her I was just happy I got recognized.

  "Sure!" The woman grins.

  Kindly, Jayla handed over the phone and stood in the group. Everyone posed and waited for the flash of the camera.

  "Thank you." Jayla took back her phone as the woman walked back to her family.

  "Thank you guys so much, it was really great meeting you." Her nervousness disappeared as she held a thankful tone. "Of course. And thank you for watching us all." Sam replied gleefully.

  And with that, she walked off back to her friends.

  "That was so cool!" I cheered in a high tone. I was smiling uncontrollably I couldn't even stop if I wanted to. And no, I didn't want to.

  "Getting recognized for the first time was one of the best things ever." Colby assured. "Definitely." The others agreed.

  Sam put his hand on my shoulder. "Believe me if you keep doing videos with us and sticking around, it's going to happen a lot more."

  My friends were happy for me. Colby and Sam the most. I could tell they really care about me, all of them. Really take a minute to think about it. If you didn't do everything the way you did it, when, how, or where you did it, some things that have happened in your life wouldn't have happened. Hell, if you didn't take a massive shit on a Wednesday after school in 2nd grade maybe you never would have met your bestfriend. If you didn't close your window at night  maybe you never would have passed that test you were so worried about. If you didn't go to the beach on a Saturday you never would have met and made an amazing group of new friends.

  My point is, everything happens for a reason. And I think deep down I knew I was going to meet Sam and Colby that day, but at the same time I had no idea. By the outcome of it obviously there was a reason I decided to go to the beach then on that specific day at that specific time.

  I couldn't be more grateful for these guys. They've already helped me so much in more ways then I can even put into words.
