The sun was scorching hot as we un loaded all of the trailers and trucks, there was only a few of us unloading the trailers as many where focusing on getting all the animals out of the heat. Our first priority was to get the animals unloaded and in the shade, it was only really myself and jack who where unloading the trailers and trucks. Once all the animals where sorted, everyone would start helping us unload everything else.
I would rather unload the animals it's easier, but I picked up the ropes as a few men where setting the tent up.
"Chloe got that rope?" Mitchell asked as he held the end of the tent, I nodded and threw it over to him. I watched as he tied that end of the tent to the ground, as other men tied the other ends. They just needed to secure it all and the tent will be done, we couldn't really unpack anything more till the tent was done.
I looked over seeing others getting the portable covers set up, the mini horse using them for shade. As well as all the other animals, I smiled as I seen the puppies jumping around.
I walked over to the trailer I share with my parents, my parents own the circus so they where probably off doing something. Our trailer was basically our home as we are always traveling, we use gas and have a generator so we have power. The trailer has two very small bedrooms but I didn't mind, I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Chloe hosterman and I grew up in the circus, my parents are the 5th generation of our family to own the circus. It's a family circus and I absolutely love it, my act is well I'm a trapeze. Also I do a gymnastics act, where I'll put on a routine I've practiced maybe a thousand times. I walk into the small caravan grabbing a bottle of water, before walking out again. Holly was over making sure none of the costumes got destroyed on the way over here, she was also a trapeze. Tho she does more of hoops, she can hula hoop like it's nothing. I've seen her use a bunch of hula hoops, that cover from her neck down to her waist and she still hula hoops like it's nothing.
"Chloe wanna run around town putting flyers up?" Holly asks me as I approach her, we needed to advertise of course. We have two days till our first show here, we like to get to our destination a little early. So we have time to set up, get the animals used to the new environment. Also advertise for people who don't follow us on social media.
"I guess gets me out of some of the unpacking" I say with a laugh making her laugh.
"Dam maybe I should go hand flyers out" she says as she picks up a box handing it to me "don't come back till there gone" she adds
"I thought I was the bosses daughter" I say making her laugh, I smile and shake my head "see ya" I tell her before walking over to the ute my dad owns, I put the flyers in the back before getting in the drivers seat. I don't own my own car as it's easier for when we pack and leave, I drive to the centre of town before parking. The town wasn't that big at all, maybe 2000 people lived here? I knew we'd get a good crowd tho. We've preformed here before. I grab a hand full of flyers before getting out, I didn't want to grab the whole box. I was wearing shorts and a blue tank top, nothing flash. My blond hair was up in a messy bun, I walked down the street handing flyers out to people who passed. I walked into a small coffee shop, I need permission to hang a flyer up in their shop. I walked over to the counter and seen a guy, he was fairly tall compered to my 5'2 self. He had brown messy hair, that was all I could see as he was looking down at his note book. I politely clear my throat making him look up and smile
"Hey sorry I didn't see you, what can I get you?" He asks with the most amazing smile in the world
"Umm nothing thank you, I was just wondering if I could put this flyer up in the window?" I ask handing him a flyer, he takes it from me and looks down at it. The flyer was basically times and the circus name, photos, stuff like that.
"Circus huh?" He asks with a small laugh before looking up at me "you apart of it?" He asks as he walks over to the window, putting the flyer up so people will be able to see.
"Yes, my family owns it" I say walking over to him
"That's pretty cool" he says before holding his hand out to me "Ryan" he introduces himself
"Chloe" I say taking his hand before shaking it
"You don't look like a clown" he jokes making me smile
"You do tho" I joke back making him burst out laughing, I laugh softly.
"Thanks" I nod with a smile as I look down at the other flyers
"You should come" I say as I look up at him
"Yeah might take my nephew and niece" he says with a smile as he watches me closely
"That's great, they'll love it. We put a lot of effort into it" I say as I nod before I nervously look down, why was I getting nervous? I'm never nervous.
"I'm sure they will, do you maybe want to hang out tomorrow. If you aren't to busy that is?" He asks, did he ask me to hang out with him? Okay so maybe I'm not the best with talking to guys that aren't in the circus.
"It will have to be in the afternoon, I have early practice tomorrow" I say making him nod "why don't you meet me at the show grounds, that's where we are all staying" I add
"Alright sounds great"
"Great maybe around 3pm?" I ask making him nod as he smiles at me.
"If you can't find me just ask someone" I say rambling on, he laughs and nods
"Alright Chloe, tomorrow then" he says cheerfully
"Tomorrow" I say before leaving and handing out the other flyers
