I'll Meet You There

01

Poppy's POV:

A knock sounded on my door and I begrudgingly opened it to see Colby.

"Hey," he greeted. "How are you?"

"I'm fine," I lied, hoping I sounded believable.

"Are you sure? Nearly jum-"

"Yes, thank you. I'm well aware of what almost happened. I was there. Which begs another question. Why are you here?"

"Uh, Elton is doing a video with all the roommates which means you."

"Not in the mood."

"Please? It could be fun."

"Colby, I don't do camera, okay?"

"Please just this one, then you can decide."

Since I had the feeling he wouldn't give up, I relented. "Fine."

He smiled. "I promise you won't regret it."

"Well that's a shame, because I already am."

That evening, we drove to a super trampoline park. Elton wanted to try and stay the night.

I sighed. "An all nighter won't go well for me."

Elton did his intro and introduced me, then we walked inside the building. Sam made a joke that he would be learning to flip this night.

Corey said that it was his birthday and that he was turning 14. Sam pointed out the little kids we were jumping with.

We passed a bull and Sam wanted to surf it, which the guys seemed confused about.

The boys soon started dunking basketballs before Elton said we needed to find a place to hide. Corey wanted to cut a trampoline open, which caused the guys to say, "No knives!"

Sam, Colby and Corey found awful spots and then Sam made a comment about burying ourselves in the foam pit. Elton jumped onto Sam's nuts.

Along the line, we found a net that we could get behind. However, that would have to wait, since pizza was ready.

We ate all but four pieces and tried to think of a place to hide the pizza, and Sam suggested the foam pit.

Because that always ends well.

Elton found a maintenance entrance we could get into. I grabbed my shoes and followed them in. The fact that the boys didn't baffled me. What kind of people have I decided to hang around?

While we were hiding, Corey's phone went off and he told us to put our phones on silent and Elton said, "Yeah, we already did."

People were cleaning up above us and we realized we'd been down here for 42 minutes.

The guys wondered why they did stuff like this and then Elton asked how he persuaded them, and me, the newcomer, to do stuff like this. Colby said, "For the YouTube views. Colby managed to get Poppy with a little persuasion."

Sam made a comment about the shrill noise being a drill from the dentist's office.

Corey commented that we were stupid and we had to wait for the lights to go off, but Elton wanted to wait.

Lights went on and people started to walk towards us. A light shined to where we were and a guy said, "How's it going? You know we're closed, right?"

As I figured would happen, we'd gotten caught and followed the guy out.

Sam told the manager that we were YouTubers pulling a prank and the manager decided to let us stay if we shouted out the place, Big Air.

The boys especially were all in shock and he said he'd be cool to us if we were cool to them. Elton gave a shout out and the manager said he didn't want anyone else to do what we'd done.
