Status

Chapter 3

Clara's POV

"Ok, here are the tickets!" Said John as he handed them to Lily. We were at the airport waiting while John went and checked our bags, which took a while considering the amount of people we have.

"Ok so first class for John and I," Lily said handing John his ticket. "Business for the kids," she said handing them each a ticket. Then she looked smugly over at me.

"And coach for Clara," she said smugly throwing the ticket at me, but since it was a small piece of paper it floated to the ground. I stared silently at it while Lily just smirked at me, her arms crossed.

John bent down to grab the ticket as he looked over it.

"Nope its First Class just as I had booked," he said handing the ticket to me. Lily's eyes widened in shock and the kids had our their phones to film the blow up that was destined to happen.

"What!? Why would you buy first class ticket for a servant!" Shrieked Lily and John lost all expression in his face.

"Because Clara isn't a servant, she's a nanny and one of my best friends," he said throwing a arm around me. I looked down, trying to hide the growing blush on my cheeks.

"You are ridiculous John! She isn't the same Status as us!" She shrieked and John had a glare on his face.

"We will discuss this later Lily," John scolded turning away from her and walking over to security. Lily screamed  and stomped a foot on the ground. She's looked ridiculous and I saw the kids posting the video on YouTube. I went over and joined John in line.

"I'm sorry about Lily, to be honest I think it's that time of the month for her," he joked and I smiled warmly at him.

"It's fine, really, I thinks she's just stressed from the wedding being soon and her modeling career," I said and he nodded.

"That's very true, I've been stressed with work and this wedding," he said wedding with a hint of disgust in his voice,"that I've been tense and its stunk," he admitted and I hugged him.

"It's ok, and if you ever need me, I'll always be here," I said and he hugged me once more.

"Thanks Clara, you're the best friend ever," he said.

"Sir, there has been a mixup with your seats," an employee told John. "You have Miss James sitting three rows in front of you and on the other side of the plane, but Miss Oswald is seated next to you," he continued.

"Well change it, I must sit next to John," Lily said but John put her hand up to keep her quiet.

"No, keep it the same, I don't mind sitting by Clara, it's been a while since we've talked and I want to catch up," John said and I stared at him.

"No I don't mind switching with Lily," I assure him. He shakes his head.

"No, you're sitting next to me," he said and I kept quiet. Glancing over at Lily she was about to explode. The employee nodded and scanned our tickets. We boarded the plane and Lily went to her seat scowling at me the entire time while John and I found out seats. Placing my bag at the window seat I faced John.

"I'm going to make sure the kids are settled in," I told him before heading back to business class. Finding the kids when they saw me they smirked.

"You made Lily PISSED!" Exclaimed Aria.

"We already have 1,000 views on YouTube and 100 revines!" Exclaimed Jason showing me the video on his phone. I laughed and high fived him.

"So you're sitting next to dad? And he wanted you to instead of Lily," stated Aria as she raised her eyebrows suggestively.

"It's just because he wants Lily to calm down, nothing more," I assured her a blush creeping on my cheeks.

"But you want it to be more," she continued and I slapped her shoulder playfully.

"Shut up, he's my best friend nothing more," I told her.

John's POV

After Clara left to go check on the kids Lily stormed over.

"What the hell was that?!" She hissed and I shrugged my shoulders.

"Letting my best friend sit next to me because my fiancée is being a brat," I told her and she scoffed.

"Me? Being a brat?!" She scoffed and I rolled my eyes.

"You need to stop being a bitch to Clara, she hasn't done anything to you," I tell her.

"She's making the kids hate me and she's coming on to you! She fancies you and she's trying to get you to hate me!" Shrieks Lily. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Clara making her way back up here.

"Look Lil, stop overreacting go drink some wine, get pissed just stop being a bitch, all I want is a relaxing holiday and so far you aren't helping," I said and she stared at me before huffing and storming off. Then seconds later Clara slips into her seat. Her butt brushing against my legs am so felt a weird sensation go through me.

"Was that Lily?" She asked and I chucked.

"You heard some of the conversation?" I asked her and she giggled as her hair fell in her face.

"Just a little, can't believe you called her a bitch and told her to get drunk," she laughed and I playfully punched her.

"Hey, she was saying shit about you and I needed to back you up, you're my best mate," I said and she looked out the window.

My best mate who I might be falling for....I thought.
