Chapter 10

~ Brianna

I woke up late of course. My eyes stung from the tears last night. I still can't believe he stood me up. I never thought of him as the type of guy to do that. Oh well. I may be mad at Matt, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hang out with my idols. I got dressed into some comfortable clothes, grabbed my wallet and phone, and walked to the bus stop near the park. While I waited, I checked my phone to see all these missed calls, voicemails, and texts from Matt. I wasn't going to forgive him this easily. Maybe I should just give him a chance to explain himself. Yea, that's a good idea. Good talk, Brianna.

The bus finally arrived and I hopped on. Buses are awkward and gross. I can't wait until I get my license. This creepy old man got on at the next stop and sat right next to me, although the bus was practically empty. He was twirling my hair. He had this long beard and smelled like cabbage. I moved to the back of the bus at the next stop, praying he wouldn't follow me. I got onto snapchat and quickly took a picture of him to put on my story.

this perv was touching me😳

After about 20 minutes the bus finally stopped at the hotel. I scurried off as fast as I could. On my way out, Dumbledore tried to tap my ass. Luckily I was too fast. I flipped him off before stepping onto the sidewalk. He smirked his toothless smirk at me. Ew. I'm never riding the bus again. I found my way back to the hotel rooms and walked in on everyone playing spin the bottle.

"Wanna join us?" Jack J asked, wiggled his eyebrows and flicking his tongue around.

"Uhmm-uh," I stuttered not knowing what to say.

I've literally written imagines about this moment.

"Well?"

"Okay fine."

I wedged myself in between Tristan and Nash. There was a bottle shaped spinner in the middle of us with a stack of cards next to it.

"What kind of spin the bottle is this?"

"Store-bought game," Carter said.

I nodded, holding back my laughter. A board game? Really?

The spinner was flicked by Aaron,who apparently just had his turn. It landed on Taylor. Aaron then reached for the card on the top of the deck and read it out loud.

"Kiss the person to your right," he read.

Taylor slowly turned his head to his right to see Savannah, obviously trying to hide her inner fangirl.

"WAIT! There's a catch," Nash said, " The kiss must last 15 seconds."

This is when everyone got their phones out to time it. They slowly leaned in and brushed each other's lips. With both their eyes closed, they remained that way for 15 seconds. Once everyone's phones went off, they didn't seem to want to break away. Taylor then took his turn to flick the spinner.

Please don't be Matt. Please don't be Matt.

Of course, it landed on Matt. I jinxed it. Taylor picked up a card. Before he even read it, everyone knew where this was going.

"Free Choice," Taylor said.

Well shit. No one here knows Matt stood me up last night. I knew he was going to pick me.

"WAIT! There's a catch!" Nash said.

"Of course there is, Nash. When is there not a catch?" Matt laughed.

"Quiet yourself. You have to do 7 Minutes in Heaven with your Free Choice," he smirked.

Oh my God. We all awaited Matt's choice, although we all knew I was going to be his victim. He pretended like he was struggling to choose.
