The Internship #Wattys2017

Chapter |18|: Every book has it's villain

That day is finally here, The day no one is on campus. No one is in their rooms instead I'm currently leaning against my car as people are getting inside vans or limousines with their parents. Some people even have kids.

It's Just Me, Maurice, And Zach since Mya has to go home with her family. I honestly think that's an excuse to leave me alone with two boys but that's just my theory.

"Have you figured out what you wanted to do?" I asked and both the boys looked at me and shrugged.

"You still here?" Gabriel asked sounding annoyed. Safe to say he's still upset about the prank we pulled.

"We have no plans Sir" Zach answered for us.

"Well if you're interested some of the others are having a bonfire down by the beach, There's fireworks, Food, Music. Should stop by and that could even be a scoop for you two" He said looking at Maurice and I.

"We don't want to write today, I just want to enjoy the fourth of July"

"Without any problems"

"And Work"

"Just live life to the fullest"

"And that's surely getting you places, Well because of my rant about the prank and this" He said moving his bang and you could see a red bruise where the roll of toilet paper hit him.

"Ouch" Zach mumbled.

"I am not allowed to be allowed to give advice or jobs anyone anymore. I have been classified as unstable. Therefore Mr. Fletcher is in charge him and his wife Lydia. So I wouldn't mess with them"

We rolled our eyes as he walked away trying to leave a message that we in fact should work the whole day because when the holiday is over we'll have to work again and that's just a whole bunch of fun.

"Maybe we should go" I said and they looked at me.

"Sweetheart we don't even socialize with these people and you want to spend a day with them?"

"Yeah this isn't exactly Spongebob and I'm sure they won't want to sing a campfire song song"

I sighed and grabbed his keys out of his hand. "Well I am not going to sit here and do nothing, You want me to live it, Love it, Write it? Then how about we live it"

They both smirked and I knew my idea was going to work.

Before we go any further with this Story I want to explain this already happened and as of now I am sitting in the café eating two slices of pie and a hamburger alone while others are off drinking and shooting fireworks.

But back to why this lead to this.

Zach whined and started kicking the the seat. "We've been driving all day!, And I'm hungry"

"When are you not hungry Bradley?"

"When are you not a douche Mitchell?"

"When you stop whining like a baby" He answered while tilting his head and looking at Zach through the rearview mirror.

"Me? I'm a baby but you broke my headphones because of a dumb thing you did? Real mature"

"You want to talk about maturity? Because I doubt that's the topic we need right now"

"Yeah let's talk about that, Spill the beans Mitchell"

"I will Bradley"

"Can we stop? Look the bonfire is right there. Can't we just go?" I asked begging and Maurice glanced at me.

"I already told you we don't talk to them, Can't just show up"

"Yes we can, And no you don't talk to them. Zach and I are very social"

"True"

He groaned and turned towards the parking lot and parked between a white truck and a black motorcycle.

We went to open the door and Maurice stopped us.

"Before you two get out of this car, Don't do anything stupid I don't want to be a babysitter"

I raised a eyebrow. "Excuse you? Remember I was the mature one when we met"

"No" He said and I crossed my arms. "You were the ass"

"And you were the brick wall and still is" I retorted then got out of the car not bothering to get into an argument with him. He's been both dull and a buzz kill since this morning and it's starting to aggravate me.

Dear God he's me.

Maurice

"What's your problem?" Zach asked as we sat on the hood of my car.

"Nothing, Everything is fine"

"Fine?" He laughed. "You're treating your girlfriend like an annoying ex. Honestly what's wrong?"

I sighed. "Hailey called me"

Hailey is my ex girlfriend that I dated, Well was dating at the time I got here. But when I met Faith, Hailey didn't like that and she told me that talking to other girls wasn't an option this year. Well I told her I do what I want and she can't control me.

We broke up that night and we haven't talked since then. She said she was coming to visit today and I just can't have that right now especially since I'm now dating the girl she hates.

"Damn, How you gonna handle that?"

I eyed him. "Going to"

"Okay I am not your mother honey don't correct my grammar I talk however I want and that ain't gonna change"

I sighed and sipped the beer he gave me. "I don't know what I'm going to do, You know how I feel about Hailey"

"But how do you feel about Faith?"

"I really like her. But I already said the L word to Hailey. Love and Like are two different things with different powers"

"You're right, And so are Hailey and Faith"

He's right. But what would any regular person do? Falling for someone that is amazing and beautiful but then you have someone who is also amazing and beautiful and add exotic and brilliant. You just don't know who to pick.

"What should I do?" I asked and he shrugged.

"That's your girlfriend"

"And you have a crush on Faith"

He laughed. "A sissy crush man, Not something I want to act on anytime soon or anytime at all."

I looked at him. "But what if you could?"
