"Are you sure you have everything? You're gone for a whole month.." My mom nagged me.
"Trust me mom, I've packed everything!" I told her for about the fourth time.
"Fine, if you're sure. But don't complain if you remembered something you forgot to pack." My mom walked out of my room.
"I'm sure." I rolled my eyes when she started walking away so she wouldn't see. Every time I was packing for Australia she would bug me and try to convince me that I forgot to pack something. I've packed for Australia plenty of times and I haven't once forgotten to bring anything. I went back to twitter on my phone. I was in my room, sitting on my bed. I was still begging Luke to follow me even though his follow spree had ended almost six hours ago. I was bummed out that Luke didn't follow me, especially since it seemed about ten people, at least, on my timeline had gotten their follow. I looked at the time, it was 11pm and I had to get up early to get on the plane to Melbourne. I finally put down my phone and plugged it in to charge. It was hard getting off of twitter, that site was addicting. I got up and turned off my lights so I could sleep, then I quickly changed out of my jeans and into shorts. I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes. I didn't even feel tired, how was I supposed to fall asleep at 11pm when I'm usually up until 4am. I decided it would be easier if I was listening to music, so I turned some on. I slowly fell asleep.
"Wake up!" My mom was gently shaking me.
"Nooo.." I groaned. I didn't want to open my eyes. Not this early. But I had to. I got up and grabbed all of my bags. I got dressed into something comfy to wear on the plane, sweats and a sweater. I was so tired that the rest of the morning was a blur.
A few days later
I was settled in Melbourne already at my dad's. I was currently alone because my dad had work. It kind of sucked that he had to work while I visited him, but he still spent time with me when he was home. Today I decided that I would walk around Melbourne again, I had also walked around yesterday. I knew the Janoskians lived near my dad, but I didn't know exactly where. Every time I came here, I went searching for them. I was determined to find the boys. I walked around for a while, I didn't hear or see any sign of the boys until suddenly I heard a boy scream. I instantly became excited and turned to the direction of the scream. I started to run, the scream came from in the park. I walked into the park slowly, searching. Then I saw them. Five flawless boys. They were at the swings, two of them were swinging, two of them were standing there, and one of them was running in front of the swings blindfolded. I started to walk towards them, nervous as ever. I was about to meet them. The Janoskians. I froze. I started to panic. What if they didn't want to talk to me, I didn't want to annoy them. Did I even have my phone for a picture? I slapped my pockets with my hands until I felt my phone and I sighed. I had to do this. I walked up behind Jai. James had already spotted me and tapped Luke's arm to show him to look where he was looking. At me. I gulped. I took a deep breath.
"I-" was all I managed to say. They all turned to look at me, making me even more nervous.
"You?" Luke said in his delicious Australian accent. I had an Australian accent too, but it started to fade after moving to Canada. Plus I missed being around other Australians, and no matter my accent, Luke's accent was still delicious. Then I realized I was still standing there with them staring at me. I had to act cool.
"Could I-pictures?" I lifted my phone up which was on camera already. I sounded so stupid. Oh my god.
Beau laughed and looked at the other boys, "Sure, you're a fan?"
I nodded, "Yeah, of course, I mean it would be weird if I didn't know you and asked for an autograph."
"You didn't ask for an autograph, you asked for a picture!" Skip smiled, probably at how stupid I was acting. I looked at Skip. Skip looked at me. I'm a Skip girl. I could have fainted.
I just kind of laughed, "Oh oops, I mean picture.." All the boys crowded around me and tried to fit in the picture. Once I found a nice position for everyone to be in it, I took it. "Thank you so much!" I smiled. My legs were weak. These were the Janoskians. My first time meeting them, and it was just me and them.
The boys all nodded. "No problem, what's your name?" Beau smiled.
"Mari!" I was smiling so hard.
Beau just nodded and said, "Well it was nice meeting you, thanks for supporting us!" They all stepped back towards the swings and continued goofing off. I just stood there. Was this it? That's all they were going to say to me? They're treating me like just any fan, but I thought it would be more. I mean, I'm alone with them. I frowned, I didn't want to leave. I slowly walked around the boys to the other side of the swing set and sat on a swing. There were four swings, two occupied by the boys, one empty one in between us, and then I was on the end. I casually started to swing. I was swinging slowly, and looking over at the boys. They noticed I sat down near them. Maybe they thought I was annoying. I decided to stay for a few more minutes and then leave. I was just another fan to them.
Suddenly Skip ran in front of me as I was swinging and I screamed. I ended up kicking him in the shoulder and he fell over, laughing at first, but then he realized I wasn't one of the boys. He had his blindfold on. He took it off and looked up at me, "Oh my god, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" He got up and walked beside me. I had stopped swinging because when I kicked him it slowed me down a lot.
"Am I okay? Are you okay? I kicked you. I'm so sorry, oh my god. I kicked a Janoskian. Oh my god!" I had my hand over my mouth and I was too scared to even look at him. I was looking a bit off to the side of his face. I glanced at him and he was laughing.
"I'm fine! Sorry, I forgot you were here and I thought I was just running in front of the boys!" He laughed, looking over at the other boys who I noticed were also laughing, "You sure you're okay?" I looked right into his eyes when he said that. He was so cute. I forgot to answer until ten seconds later.
"Uh, yeah, fine." I managed to spit out.
He laughed again, "Okay, sorry!" He picked up the blindfold and walked back over to the boys. They were all still laughing. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I guess that's all he was going to say to me. I was a Skip girl. This wasn't at all like the imagines or fanfictions I read online about meeting the boys. They didn't think I was special at all. I would never have my Skip moment. This was the closest I would get. Although I couldn't complain, it's not every Janoskianator who gets to kick Skip in the shoulder and then have him concerned if you're okay. I mean, he looked into my eyes. I guess I kind of had a moment. But it meant way more to me than it ever would to him.
I sighed and stood up. I had to leave now, I felt ignored and embarrassed. I turned to the boys as I passed them. I was going to wave but they didn't even notice me leaving. Well, Jai looked up and saw me walking past, but he didn't care. I was leaving the park when I heard another scream. I turned around hoping one of them noticed me leaving, but of course that was too good to be true. It was James kicking Beau, and Beau screamed. I continued walking, and I left to go home. I was smiling and even laughing on the way home because the shock of what just happened faded away. I was fangirling as I walked up my driveway. I would definitely have to tweet about this.
