Travel || b.s. {ON HOLD}

Ten: Arguments

"Oh" I replied sheepishly.

"I guess I'd love to do something like that but if part of it is in America, I'm not too sure if my parents would let me, especially seen as though we have only just moved and now I might be planning to move for a bit?"

"Well I guess you could try to persuade them, it's not for another six months yet"

"Yeah I guess" I sighed just as the bell for first period rang.

"I'll walk with you, we're in the same class" Brad said.

The lessons leading up to lunch actually went surprisingly quick, but as soon as the bell rang for lunch, I immediately felt nervous. I decided it would be better to ask a friend on their opinion on being Brads bands stylist, before I told my parents. Luckily Pippa was in my lesson before lunch, so I wouldn't have to tell her in front of Maddie and Lydia. As I stood up and grabbed my bag Pippa appeared next to me.

"Hey!"

"Hola" I replied.

"I saw you walk in late with Brad, what were you talking about?" She smirked.

"Yeah I need to talk to you about that actually" I sighed nervously.

Her eyes immediately widened.

"No, it's nothing bad... it's just well"

"Go on, slow and steady wins the race"

"Ok well basically I got a text from Brad this morning asking me to meet him before school, and when I got here, him and his band-mates were stood near the gates. When I went over they pushed Brad towards me, so he took me away and asked me---"

"Will you marry me?" Pippa giggled, clearly thinking she was hilarious.

"Very funny" I replied sarcastically.

"Ok I'm sorry, yeah, so what did he ask you?"

"He asked me if i wanted to be the stylist for when his band goes on tour"

"Omgyouhavetodoit" She rushed excitedly.

"But there's a problem"

"What is it?" 

"Part of the tour is in America"

"Oh, well don't you think you will be allowed?" She asked, sighing.

"I'm not sure, because we just moved" I replied.

By the time I had explained it all to her we were just reaching the field, where Lydia and Maddie were already waiting for us.

"Please don't tell Lydia and Maddie about this yet because I'm not sure if I am going to be allowed to do it or not" I asked.

"Your secret is safe with me" She whispered as we sat down on the grass.

When I was walking towards the gates leaving school that day I looked up from my phone to see Brad looking over all the teenagers, clearly searching for somebody. As I approached him I quickly averted my gaze to look somewhere that wasn't him, but whilst I was walking past him, he caught hold of my arm. 

"Do you know yet?"

"Hi to you to, and no not yet" I said as I started to walk away. 

As I thought I was creating more distance between us, I heard him speed up behind me.

"Sooooo, I was thinking that we could start walking to and from school together seen as though we live just around the corner from each other?"

"Why do you all of a sudden want to be friends?" I wondered, not realizing it was out loud.
