When We're Older | Chris Collins

Chapter 6

Thursday at school I was standing at my locker getting my books for last period. I shut my locker door and turned around but when I did Brianna walked right in front of me and I dropped my binder. "Oops." She giggled. "Hey! Get back here now!" I yelled. Looking embarrassed, she walked over to me. "What do you want?" She asked. "Pick it up now." I said as calmly as possible. "Excuse me?" She said with an surprised look on her face.

"You heard me. Pick it up." I demanded. "Yeah? And who's gonna make me?" She gave me a smirk. "Me. Pick it up now or I'm gonna rip all your hair out."

"Geez, okay." She bent over and picked it up. "Here." She turned around. "Wait. I think you owe me and Chris an apology." I said. She turned towards me. "And why would I need to do that?" Chris, Crawford and Bailey, all came up behind me. "Because, you lied to Chris." I said. "No I didn't." She lied. "Yeah. You did."

Lucas Hempton walked up to her. "Here, you can have your twenty dollars back." He said handing her the money. "Wait a sec. You paid him to go along with it?" I said. "Maybe. Look I'm sorry." She said. I still didn't accept her apology. "I bet you even paid Ricky to be your boyfriend." I said. She gasped and walked away, almost tripping over her insanely tall heels. I laughed. "What was that all about?" Crawford asked. "I just finally had enough of her." I said. After school I invited Bailey to spend the night tomorrow since it was Friday.

Friday night

"Okay, okay, okay. My turn!" We laughed. We were playing charades and she was pretending to be the lunch lady. I got up for my turn. I started doing dramatic hair flips and pretending to file my nails. "Brianna!" Bailey yelled. I nodded. "Okay, well I'm getting bored with this. Let's do something else." We both got on our phones and we looked up the boys on instagram and twitter because we've been meaning to follow them ever since we met them. "Um, Mon, take a look at this." Bailey said. I leaned over to see what she was saying. "He's verified. So is Crawford." She said. "What? Only famous people get verified. They probably just made it say that." I told her not believing it.

"Well, I don't think so. It has their vines and YouTube channels in their bio." She said. I got off of instagram and went to youtube. It turned out she was right. They are famous. We watched their videos and vines for hours. By the time we got done it was around midnight.

We didn't even watch them all. "Hey, what do you say we go talk to them about it?" I asked Bailey. "We don't even know if their awake." She said. "I'm sure they are." I told her. I walked over to my window and opened the blinds. Sure enough there was a light on. I motioned for Bailey to come on. We crawled through the window, onto the tree, and over to the window. I knocked on the window and Chris opened it. "Hey guys. What's up?" He said. "We need to talk." I said all serious. "Is everything ok?" He asked.

"No." Bailey said. He suddenly got very worried. Me and Bailey sat down on his bed and we had Chris sit on the floor in front of us. "What is it?" Chris said, you could tell he was nervous. "Why didn't you tell us?" I asked. "Tell you what?" Bailey got on Chris's  channel on her phone and showed it to him. "What? That?" He gave a sigh of relief. "Yeah. Why didn't you tell us you were famous. We found tons of interviews of you and Crawford." I told him. "Crawford!" He yelled. Crawford came in his room and sat next to him. "What's up guys?' He smiled.

"This." Bailey showed him her phone. "Oh."

"Why didn't you guys say anything?" I asked. "Well you see. We thought you knew who we were. But you guys didn't and no one here did. And we wanted to keep it that way." Chris said. Crawford just nodded along. "So you just wanted to keep something like that away from us?" Bailey asked. "No. Its not that. Its just that, we wanted to live a normal life. Every where we go were surrounded by fans. And now, were not." Crawford explained.

"Oh. I'm sorry. We just wanted to know. But we won't say anything. Promise!" I said. We all agreed not to say a word to anyone. "Anyone have plans this week?" Crawford asked. "I don't." I said. "Oh, me and Crawford are going to a party." Bailey said. "Really? Where?" I asked her. "That's the thing, its at Brianna's boyfriends house." She said. "You're kidding? You are going to a party at my enemies house?"

"Not exactly. Its her boyfriends." She said again. "That doesn't make a difference!" I shouted.

"Hey girls I'm all in for seeing you two fight, but keep it down." Crawford said laughing. "Why don't you just go with us? You and Chris." She said. "I'll think about it. But only to keep an eye on you!" I said. She agreed.

"Let's play truth or dare." Chris said. We agreed and sat in a circle. Well it was more like a square since there was four of us. "I'll go first." Bailey said. "Chris, truth or dare?" He acted like he had to think for a minute. "Today Sherlock." Crawford nagged. "Ok, ok. Truth."

"*cough* wimp *cough*." Crawford said. We all laughed. "Is it true you want Montana to be your girlfriend?" She asked. My stomach did a thousand flips. "Um, er, yeah." His face was so red. Crawford and Bailey just made really long "aww" sounds. I just sat there and smiled the whole time. "Okay, Crawford, truth or dare?" He asked him. "Dare." He said. Bailey applauded him for not being a wimp.

"I dare you to tell Bailey how you feel about your guys' relationship." He said. Crawford's face dropped. "Okay. I'm not scared." He turned to Bailey. "Okay. Bailey, I like you. A lot. And I was wanting to know if you'd be my girlfriend." He said. "Oh my gosh! Yes!" She said jumping on top of him. "Woah!" He said as he fell over. "Sorry." She got off of him.

"Okay. Truth or dare Montana?" Crawford asked me. "Dare." I said. "I dare you to kiss Chris."

"Um. No. Chicken out." I said. Chris looked a bit bummed. But I was not having my first kiss by playing truth or dare. I want it to be sweet and out of emotion. They agreed and then we quit playing. "Hey Bailey will you make a vine with me?" Crawford asked her. She nodded and then Crawford got on his bone and started videoing. "Hey guys just wanted to let you know this is my girlfriend Bailey." He said in to the camera. "Hey!" She said. And then it was over. Me and Bailey stayed until three in the morning. And then we went to my house and fell asleep.
