One In A Million

ii

After a seven days and a lot of convincing on my end, Leo, Courtney and I were on a private jet to England.

"Is it bad that I'm not nervous?" I asked as me and Leo thumb wrestled for the tenth time.

"Your meeting Simon Cowell . . . No, not at all!" Courtney replied sarcastically.

Leo sighed, "I don't think you have a reason to be, you're an amazing singer. You've got this in the bag." he replied easily.

"I didn't think so . . . Somehow I need to figure out who those hooded boys were and what they had to do with this, by the way." I licked my upper lip and shoved my thumb on top.

"Not nice!" Leo grunted.

I stuck my tongue out, smiling. "Courtney?" I asked.

"What?"

"It's a private meeting, so I need you to do something with Leo. Just . . . something."

She laughed, "No way! I don't entertain your little friends!"

Me and Leo ended up playing another round, "My little best friend, child." I corrected my seventeen-year-old sister.

"Whatever . . . runt." she fired.

"Thank you! Oh, and the whole time we're here, it's bus's and taxis!"

Leo cheered at this.

"Why can't I just rent a car?" she looked up from her iPad and glared at me

"Court? You don't have a legal license here and you're too young to get one!"

She mumbled something about British people being stupid and shoved her earbuds in.

  "Maybe it's just normal planes that have Gross bathrooms . . . " Leo stated and I laughed.

"Random thought of the day! Brought to you by Thames!" I poked his shoulder as we walked from the hotel pool and down the hall.

"Yeah, but seriously." he started humming and rubbed the towel through his dirty blonde hair.

"Hey, Friday, wanna go explore Paris?" I slid the card in the handle and let him go in front of me.

"Friday? This Friday? The day after tomorrow?" he asked while pulling a shirt over his head.

"No, dude, next Friday, when we're back home!" I replied sarcastically.

"Yeah, sure. Sounds fun!" he took a pair of pajamas from his suitcase and went into the bathroom.

I put the notification in his phone and played on it, texting his little brother. I tossed the blackberry on the floor and got up to bounce between the beds. Leo came out, fully dressed with dried hair and joined me.

"Video games or movie?" He asked while jumping up and down.

I jumped down with my feet on the floor and sat my butt on the blue beds, "Wha'd you want?"

He continued to jump, "Well," he dropped on his bed, "I say movie. Thriller or Disney animation?"

I thought about it while I planked between the beds, "I wanna watch Nemo!" I nodded.

"Alright! I'll go up front and rent it, be right back." he got up and walked through the open doors.

I crawled around under my blankets until I found a bug and decided to switch with Leo, still searching for more. After I changed into my pajamas, I reached the remote all without touching the floor.
