Chapter 20 - dark green and a darker shade of blue

I always say this, being rich kids, popular kids, not just that, celebrity's kids. There was always disadvantages as much as there were advantages and right now this was one of the disadvantages we had to face.

Cameras kept clicking in our faces as we called out to our friends. They all gather round us wondering what the hell was happening.

"Krys what's happening?" Jojo asked scramming away from the flashes. I kept my focus on his action before averting my gaze to address the group that have gathered in my presence.

"Guys, we've gotta go...paparazzi..."

"Every-god damn-were" Kev finishes my statement. They all nod and murmur in agreement.

"So, how do we get out of here?"

I lick my lips, thinking of our predicament. "Run!, but first our clothes"

"I sure as hell don't need to be running around town without clothes" Liam mutters and I slightly hum in response.

"Come on"

..............
*******

"Slow down, Jesus!!" Scarlett screams from somewhere behind me. We had been running for approximately five minutes and my feet were beginning to hurt.

We tried to walk away from the scenario peacefully, but considering there were teenagers as well, we had to run.

Some people still don't get the need for personal space

So we had been in and out of shops,

Made sure we took souvenirs

"Why are children so adamant?" Charis cries.

"I'm pretty sure they're getting a kick out of it"

"Stupid jobless people"

"Where exactly are the cars packed?" I wheeze out, stopping for a breather.

Kev stops as well bending over to rest on his knees, ensuring everyone stops. I walk over to them as he looks me dead in the eye and mutters, "I have no idea"

I stop dead in my tracks, my eyes wide as saucers and my heart picking up faster, which is quite dangerous, considering I've been running for a while.

You know I've been considering a lot of things this days

I'm proud of myself.

Charis gives up, planting herself on the ground with a firm thud. 'Ow' she winces as Scarlett joins her.  "So where are we exactly?"

"I have no idea"

"Kevin!!!"

"What I'm definitely not a GPS, so..."

I slap my face with my palm, "so how do we get back home?" I ask wearily, hoping just hoping someone has a good enough answer.

"How about phones?"

Yes!!!

"No network"

Noo!!!

"We're going to die!!!!, I mean I've not even done the deed yet?" Charis cries out. They, meaning the boys look at her with bewildered faces. We the girls look at her with understanding faces, wrapping our hands around each other and whispering, "we're in this together"

A snort comes out of my brother's lips. Liam, Joey and him say, "high school musical" like they planned it.

"Okay, come on guys, can't we just walk normally into a restaurant, have some actual food while trying to locate the cars" Zeph finally speaks up from his bent position, pleading with his eyes, he let out a loud breath.

"Right!" Zach screams from his standing position "considering you're a football player, you sure as hell don't have stamina!" He nodded at Zeph.

"I think we lost them though" Joey speaks up over the argument that was beginning to brew.

"Amen" I said, grabbing the nearest person to me to rest on.

"Soo..., what happens now"

"Find our way back to the car, which shouldn't be far from here" Liam spoke up, scanning the environment

"How do you know that?" I asked him, with a tired sigh.

He looked at me with a blank face, "because I've been around here once or twice"

Oh thank God..

"Lead the way then" I mutter as he stares at me, his eyes flicking round my face as I keep averting my eyes to any where but his brown eyes. Those brown eyes that were so glossy, with a tint of any colour out there, but as the sun cast a warm glow on his face, you could see the golden stripe, glittering with mischief.

Well damn...

"Uh guys" someone poked me. I quickly slap the persons hands away, looking away from Liam's gaze as I still felt his on me.

I turn to Joey, eyeing him before answering, "what?" He jumped a little at the intensity of my voice because God knows I was irritated by his little stunt.

"Sorry" he whimpered and I felt bad for him. I ruffled his hair as my apology and began to walk. He and Liam following behind him as Liam says the direction to go to the rest of us.

Throughout the journey back, I could still feel his intense gaze, almost making a hole through my back.

................
********

"Hey guys" I wave at the full table.

A series of hey, hi, what's up and a very loud, 'Krystal' is heard. I chuckled at Joey.

"Hi, Joey" I plopped down on the chair, bringing out my apple.

"Looks like someone's dieting"

"Who?" I looked around biting my bottom lip.

"Who else you" he pointed towards my side. I looked back wondering who he was talking about. I turned back to him, to see him staring at me with confused and amused eyes.

"Krystal, he's talking about you" Scarlett said.

I pointed at myself to be sure "whaa, me?, okay you gotta be joking" I adjusted in my chair, with both of my hands placed on the table, I stared wide eyed at Joey. "You think I'm..." I gestured with my hand from top to the bottom, "...dieting"

"Yeah sure, apple" he pointed at the apple, with a 'duh' look.

"That bad?" Liam asked. I stared him right in the eyes for the first time willingly to see his golden brown eyes swirling with a mixture of dark green and a darker shade of blue.

Wow, how is that even possible.

"That bad"
