Makeup - A SwaggerSouls Fic

4.

Note: Hey all! So, just an update. I have changed the point of view from first person to third person. I did update the old chapters to reflect this, so if you've already viewed them not much has changed. But I wrote a good 3-4 chapters ahead of this one, so hopefully updates will be a bit more consistent! Thanks for the support!

Sarah smiled at the taller of the two boys, mood shifting. She made herself a cup of coffee, throwing in all the fixings, before nodding.

"Sounds good, I'm down. Since you're vlogging, and I vlogged yesterday with Toby and Cam, I won't today," She says, sipping her coffee.

"How long will it take you to get ready?" Eric asks, moving to the living room and sitting on the couch. Sarah shrugs, thinking for a bit.

"I was going to film a Q & A video today, but I can just upload the one I edited last night and push it till tomorrow. Give me a few minutes to freshen up," She says, making her way towards the stairs, "Make yourselves at home, I don't have cable yet or much food but help yourselves,"

She hears them rummaging through her barren cabinets, and it reminds her she also has to go grocery shopping. Sarah couldn't survive without her Ben & Jerry's, or her chocolate chip cookies. It's confusing to her how she has been able to keep her weight low. She had been a kind of chubby, larger kid all her life. Her friends came later in life, no one really wanted to hang around the 'fat' girl in the playground and from middle school to junior year of high school, she'd been severely bullied for her weight. After she graduated, she went to college where she could talk to a therapist weekly. She had got put on both meds for depression and ADD, and ever since she has been eating healthy and exercising, with a few treats here and there to reward her for her hard work. Thankfully, none of the boys had really seen her or known her in her heavy stage, because she was sure they wouldn't have became friends.

That could just be her anxiety on the subject, though. She quickly showered and changed into comfortable clothes, sweats and a tank top being the most appropriate as it was cloudy and overcast today. No rain yet, however, and she quickly crossed her fingers and said a quick prayer to whoever was listening that it wouldn't rain. She loved zoo's.

Finishing up, she made her way back downstairs to the guys. Matt was quietly munching on her only bag of chips, while Eric had pulled a little baggie of cooked broccoli from his bag. Sarah gave him a confused look, pointing at the vegetable.

"Keto," he explained, and a mouthful of green specks flew onto the counter. He stared at it, horrified, as both Sarah and Matt laughed hard. Sarah grabbed a bottle of counter cleaner from under the kitchen sink, and a paper towel, cleaning it up while still giggling.

"Sorry," Eric mumbled, face red from embarrassment. Sarah laughed again, shaking her head.

"Don't worry about it, dude. You should see how many times I do way more embarrassing shit," she says, throwing away the paper towel.

Once that fiasco had died down, the group left, Matt with his vlogging camera recording everything. Eric threatened him to make sure he blurred his face if he got ANY part of it in the video, and Matt nodded, knowing the drill.

The zoo probably wasn't too far, but they had left right when the lunch rush was happening. Everyone was leaving work for their hour break, hoping to make it to their favorite fast food drive thru and back to their job in time. Sarah was impatient, she always has been, and started humming one of her favorite songs while slapping her thighs in time with the beat in her head. This process repeated a few times before Eric sighed.
