"bells you got everything packed?" sage asks.
"yes sage," i say, sitting on my suitcase and zipping it closed.
"god you have so much stuff," she says, looking at my 2 suitcases strewn around the room.
"i know. but it's like 3 months away. i don't wanna miss something i really want," i say, shaking my head. a car horn blares from outside my flat.
"i think that's your car," sage says. i nod in response and we grab my suitcases and struggle down the stairs with them. "i'm gonna miss you!" sage says, pulling me into a hug while the driver puts my cases in the back.
"me too hon," i say, squeezing her back.
"call me when you land? or if your bored? or if you need anything?" she says.
"i will. sage. i'll be okay. i love you," i say.
"i love you too squish," she smiles, squeezing me again before letting go. i get in the cab and we begin to drive away, waving at her as she disappears round the corner. leaning back in my seat, i close my eyes and put my headphones on and listen to some music on my ipod.

~time skip past the plane ride bc i'm lazy~

once i get off the plane and through baggage claim, i start to walk to the exit of the gate. jeff said he'd meet me at arrivals so now i have to go wait and not have a panic attack waiting for him. simple. lucky for me i didn't have to wait, as soon as i entered the arrivals terminal i see a man stood with a sign with my name on surrounded by 2 other guys. i know the jackass guys pretty well so as i get closer i see it's bam, steve-o and the guy holding the sign is jeff tremaine, i almost didn't recognise him with his new haircut. i'm guess it was a part of jackass because he has a full mullet haircut now. i begin to walk over and as soon as they see me bam and steve run over excitedly.
"arabella?!" bam shouts.
"bam!" i shout back to him. he comes over and immediately pulls me into a hug.
"it's so cool to meet you!" he says.
"you too!" i say into his chest. he smells like mint and cologne.
"hey! where's my hug?" steve complains.
"sorry steve i'm just being suffocated by bam," i smile. bam lets me go and steve-o pulls me into another hug straight away.
"arabella. so glad you said yes," jeff says as steve releases me from the hug.
"me too jeff. thanks for asking," i say excitedly. he pulls me into a side hug while bam and steve fight over grabbing my suitcases.
"girls pack so much," steve says, pushing one of my pink suitcases.
"hey. this is light compared to how much stuff i have," i complain.
"you should see how much stuff johnny has. this is not as bad as him," jeff says.
"how can he have so much stuff? i swear he wears the same stuff all the time," i laugh.
"wow. a fan much," jeff says. i shoot him a fake angry look as they take us to the car.
"are you excited?" bam asks, sliding my suitcase into the back of the car.
"yeah. kinda nervous though. i know what type of stuff yall do," i say, opening the car door.
"you can't be nervous on jackass. you'll be fine," steve-o says, putting the other case in while bam gets in the back seat. once we're all in jeff starts driving with me in the passenger seat and bam and steve-o in the backseat.
"so arabella you get your own room," jeff says.
"ahh. the perks of being a girl. also you can call me bella, or any nickname really. i don't usually use my full name," i smile.
"yeah lucky you. i have to share with dunn," bam huffs.
"aren't you and ryan like best friends though?" i ask, pulling out my phone and texting sage that i was okay.
"yeah but you've never shared a room with him," bam laughs.
"you're lucky. i share with pontius," steve-o says.
"oh is that not good? i feel like he's pretty chill," i ask.
"that dude never puts his dick away," steve-o laughs. we spend the rest of the journey talking about the rest of the crew and what they're like. apparently they had already started filming for season 2, that's why everyone didn't come with. honestly i didn't really mind it being just me and a few of the guys - i was actually very nervous about meeting everyone. jeff started telling me that when we got to the hotel i would meet johnny, wee man, chris and ryan and then have some time to like unpack and stuff. tonight they wanted us all to go out and for me to get to know the guys. i really kind of feel a prank coming but i'm not gonna say no. i should come up with a good prank to do back, might be able to stop myself from getting it bad. it takes about 20 minutes to get there and jeff gives me my room key. when i go to open the door, ready to like face the day, i open the door to chris, dressed as party boy, with johnny behind him with a speaker playing the party boy music. he aggressively dances into the room, pushing me back in while rick films from behind. he dances me back to the wall and dances against me while i almost scream-laugh at him. johnny finally stops the music and rick says cut and pontius stops, wrapping me in a hug.
"arabella you're here!" he says excitedly.
"i am," i laugh into him.
"we thought you deserved a special dance as a welcome," johnny laughs.
"yeah thanks guys," i laugh. they turn the cameras off and i officially meet the guys.
"it's nice to meet all yall," i smile.
"you too arabella," ryan says.
"oh you can call me bella or whatever nickname from my name. no one called me arabella really," i explain, sitting.
"oh sick! can i call you... bell?" wee man asks.
"if you'd like?" i say.
"what about bells?" johnny asks.
"sure. though only sage calls me bells. that's a very coveted position to be in," i laugh.
"oh i'll feel honoured," johnny laughs.
"so tonight... we're pranking ehren," chris smiles deviously.
