What happens in College

Chapter twenty Girl squad

Olivia's pov
Hi, I'm Olivia Sui.(Middle) I'm twenty years old(I know she's not really but roll with it)and I love dancing.
When I was six I made friends with this girl in my ballet class, her name was Mari but I haven't seen her since we graduated high school.
Me and my best friend, Courtney(Left)and and a few other friends have applied for a job a Smosh.
One of our bosses said that we'll be the new Smosh Squad.
I'm really excited about this.
I arrive at the office, a little late because there was traffic.
I walk through the building and meet Courtney, Shayne, Noah and Keith at the entrance and we walk inside.
One of our bosses, Ian I think it is, walks over to us.
"Hi welcome to the Smosh office and the dream of your life. I am Ian Hecox" Ian says.
"I'm Courtney Miller" Courtney introduces herself and shakes his hand.
"I'm Noah Grossman" Noah says, shaking his hand.
"I'm Shayne Topp" Shayne says, shaking his hand.
"I'm Olivia Sui" I say and shake his hand.
"And I'm Keith Leak Jr" Keith says, shaking his hand.
"Well nice to meet you all. Now how about we head to a meeting?" Ian suggests.
We nod and follow him around the building to a room full of seats and a few people.
Ian goes to the front and talks to someone while me and the squad sit in the seats to wait for more people to arrive.
Two guys walk in and then a familiar girl walks in.
I stand up to look at her properly and stare at her in shock when I realise who she is.
"Mari?" I question.
She looks at me with confusion for a few seconds before she looks surprised.
"O..Olivia?" She replies.
Courtney stands up and looks at Mari in shock.
"Mari? Is that really you?" She asks.
"Courtney!" Mari exclaims, excitedly and runs up to us.
We all hug and laugh just like old times.
"Oh my god! I haven't seen you guys since high school!" She squeals.
"I know! How you been?" I ask her.
"I've been great" She replies.
"Look at us! The girls back together! Sui, Miller and Takahashi" Courtney says, smiling.
"Uh actually I'm not Takahashi anymore" Mari tells us.
"What?" I ask, confused.
"I got married. I'm Mari Johnson now" She explains.
"You're married?" Courtney questions, shocked.
"Yeah" She smiles and shows us her wedding ring.
"Wow! It's beautiful" I say.
"Hey babe, can you take Jenny for a few minutes?" A tall man with long brown hair asks as he hands a baby to Mari.
"Ok Sweetie" Mari replies and holds the baby while the man leaves.
"Who was that?" Courtney asks.
"That was my husband" Mari informs her.
"And who's this little cutie?" I ask, referring to the baby.
"This is Jenny, our daughter" Mari says, smiling.
"I didn't know you had a baby" Courtney says.
"Can we catch up?" I ask.
The girls agree and we sit down and talk.
"So how did college go for you?" I ask Mari.
"It was ok. College was actually where I met my husband" She replies.
"What's his name?" I ask.
"Wes" She says.
"What else happened?" Courtney asks.
"Well, a few months after we started dating, we went to a party and got drunk and I got pregnant" Mari tells us.
"I told Wes after I found out and when I was three months along, I dropped out. I even offered him to come with me but he didn't" She continues, starting to sound sad.
"Aw Mari" I signed and hug her.
"So what changed his mind?" Courtney asks.
"I sent him a picture of the ultrasound and told him it was a girl" Mari says, starting to smile again.
"Then after I gave birth, Wes proposed and about eight months later we got married, went on our honeymoon and when we got back my parents surprised us with our own house because we were living with my parents" She finishes.
"That sounds nice" I comment.
"But Mari, can I tell you something that hurt?" I ask her.
She nods.
"It hurt that you didn't contact us and tell us that you were having a baby or getting married" I confess.
Mari looks at us with tears in her eyes.
"I know you guys and I'm sorry but I really did try to contact you. I tried calling, texting and Email but I couldn't get through" She tells us.
"I love you guys too much to forget you. You're my best friends, my sisters" She says.
I feel tears fall down my cheeks when she says that.
"I even tried to make it like you guys were apart of my life. At my wedding, when me and Wes danced, I told the DJ to play your favourite song Courtney. And Olivia do you know Jenny's full name?" Mari asks me.
I shake my head as a no.
"Jenny Liv Johnson. And for her first birthday party, I showed her a picture of all of us at our graduation and told her 'There's Mommy with Auntie Liv and Auntie Courtney'. I did my best to make it feel like you guys were there and I really missed you" She explains with tears streaming down her face.
We're all in tears, hugging each other, Jenny even starts crying so Mari tries calming her down.(If you're confused where she was the whole time, she was sat on Mari's lap)
The tall guy who I now know as Wes comes back and goes to Mari and Jenny.
"Baby? What's wrong?" He asks her, concerned and wraps his arms around her.
"Nothing honey, just catching up" She tells him.
She pulls away from their hug and comes back over to us.
"Wes these are my best friends from high school, Courtney and Olivia" She introduces us.
"Hi" I smile and wave.
"Hey. Wait a second. Olivia as in Liv?" He asks.
"Yeah" I reply.
"I already told her, Sweetie" Mari tells him.
"Ok then. Come here my little cupcake" Wes says in a baby voice and takes Jenny from Mari.
We finally get on with the meeting.
It was about introducing the new squad.
We did some work and me and Courtney hung out with Mari and she borrowed Wes's phone to show us pictures of Jenny when she was born, wedding pictures and Jenny's birthday.
We exchanged numbers to make sure we had the right phone numbers to keep in touch then we all went home.
