Chapter 19 part two

3rd Person P.O.V.

Nick and Ben battled it out. In the end Ben won. Josh made a silent victory. Nick pouted "Now I have to carry Josh." "But don't you love me more than Evie." "That's for me to know." Nick said triumphantly.

Adrian looked infuriated. "Alright. I'll travel with Ben and Eva and Adrian you  can go with Josh and Nick." Chaz said. Adrian wanted to disagree but couldn't find a reason to so he complied while flashing glares at Ben and Josh.

"Rules are you can take whatever route you want and you can't unmount from your steed or person until you reach the theater unless you need a break. Any means necessary." Josh said.

"Mount your stress, or eh- er, mount your people I mean, I think." Chaz said. The others chuckled at his behavior. Well, except for Adrian that is. Josh came up with a plan with Nick to steer clear of Evalina and Ben to keep Adrian away from her.

Josh hopped onto Nick's back. "Gosh, Josh. What did you eat this morning, six plates of bacon?!?" Nick asked jokingly. "No. I only ate five." Josh responded in a posh manner.

Ben bent down. Evalina was nervous but hopped onto his back likewise. She wasn't wearing a dress or anything. She was wearing a jade green button up, some khaki pants, a black cardigan, some white converse, and fingerless gloves as usual. Plus her glasses. "You're so light." Ben said as he stood up straight like it was nothing.

Nick smiled and looked at Ben. "You're lucky. It feels like I'm carrying bricks on my back while you get to carry a feather or a cute little finch." This caused them to laugh.

"Alright, ready. Set. Go!" Chaz said. So the two groups went in different directions. Evalina was laughing as Ben picked up speed.

She felt the wind blowing through her hair as she secured her hands on Ben's shoulders. "I can't believe you still haven't slowed down." She said laughing. "I hope this isn't a bother." She said referring to her being on his back.

"Don't worry about it, E. Plus you're light as a feather." He said smiling up at her. They stopped to take a quick break at a park. Evalina was still on Ben's back and they were walking. Chaz smiled and took a picture of them from behind. Then he ran in front of them and took a picture of the two of them smiling when they weren't looking. Chaz got good candid shots and decided to post them later.

"I wonder how Josh and Nick are doing."Evalina said. "They're either arguing, winning, losing, think they're winning but are losing, vice versa, or joking around." Ben said laughing.

In actuality, Josh and Nick weren't far behind them, of course they weren't in the same area but distance wise. "I feel taller." Josh said looking around him. The sight earned a few weird looks from passing people, but it also earned a couple laughs.

"No! You're kidding. I feel like I'm carrying another human. Oh wait! I am." Nick said. "You wound me, dear sir." Josh said laughing.

"Aren't you guys trying to win this thing?" Adrian asked off-handedly, well more like aggressively. He ran his fingers through his black hair. "We are but Nick needs a break. Right, Nicki-pooh." Josh responded. Nick nodded his head vigorously. He knew the plan to keep Adrian and to find out more about him.

"So Adrian. How long are you gonna be here? I mean it's October and you gotta be heading back to school soon right. (A/n: sorry if the dates are a little confusing, I just want the tour days to go in chronological order so right now it's October 13)

"I'm home schooled and I'm probably gonna be here for one or two more days but I'll probably stop by at tour a lot because I'm constantly moving." Adrian said. He didn't care much about Nick and Josh only if they got in his way or were becoming mean or a nuisance to Evalina. Or if they liked her then they'd be another obstacle for him.
