Escape // Marcus and Martinus Story ❤️❤️

Chp 9

Principal : 42..43..44...why is there only 44?!?

Harper : oh em Sam just wen-

Sam : 45!

I ran into the group, nearly tripping on my way.

Principal : right good, I think we're ready.

We began to fill onto the bus.

Sydney : I can't believe this is it. We're actually going to Croatia. There's no more waiting!

Harper : I know, this has been the longest past two months of my life.

Sam : same but for different reasons.

We sat in our seats, fastened our seatbelts and finally set off on our adventure to Croatia. We were sat in a triple seat on the bus therefore Harper was on the isle, Syd in the middle and then me by the window. This meant a full half hour of listening to Syd talk about her idols. Yes, Marcus and Martinus.

I suppose half an hour wasn't too long but when you consider Harper falling asleep and me left with Sydney forcing me to watch videos of them messing up on stage, I think I deserve a medal for not falling asleep. Although there was one bit I did find particularly funny. It was just after first kiss when they were taking the chair off stage. The one with the long hair, I think it was Marcus, picked it up and the chair just broke. They both just stood there staring at it. I've got to admit, a slight giggle escaped my mouth at that point. But other than that, it was a long half hour.

Sam : can I ask you something?

Sydney : sure

She paused the video and looked up at me, giving her full attention.

Sam : what if they're not who you think they are?

Sydney : what do you mean?

Sam : like what if, in person, they're really horrible people who are extremely aggressive and you just don't know because you only see what they want you to see?

Sydney : jeez when did you get all deep?

She laughed.

Sam : I'm being serious.

Sydney : well I guess I'll never know unless I get to know them properly. I do believe they are genuine people though, just from what I've seen.

Sam : that's what I'm saying though, they might not be genuine and are just trying to hide it!

Sydney : well they're doing a very good job of hiding it then aren't they.

Sam : maybe people are just oblivious...

Sydney : what are you trying to say?

I sighed.

Sam : nothing.

Sydney : Sam, are we talking about the same thing here?

Sam : of course.

She stared at me for a few seconds.

Sydney : ok, well if they really were horrible people then I think people would know by now don't you think?

Sam : yeah, you're right.

She played the video again as I looked out the window, watching the world go by. Lost in my own thoughts, the journey went in a flash and before I knew it we had arrived at the airport.

As the bus came to a halt, Harper jumped out of her sleep making us all laugh.

Harper : where am I?
