"OH MY GOD CRANE LOOK AT THAT CAMPER VAN, AND THAT ONE, OH MY GOD AND THAT ONE"
"Amy calm down, god I swear you don't act your age" Bec laughed. I always called her by her surname in times like this. Mind you, if I shouted Crane around a giant, three story shopping centre she'd definitely be the only one to respond.
I've had to do that before, she screamed back from the second floor.
"Fuck Off" Who wants to act their age?, like live a little. I always expressed my thoughts to myself.
"I'm going for a stroll to see which camper van catches my eye" Crane walked of in the direction of a sales man. I started viewing a red camper van, slowly walking backwards around the back when suddenly I bumped into someone. I span around and a tall, intriguing and beautiful guy stood in front of me with dark chocolate orbs and a thick, dark, smooth quiff that bounced with his movements.
I gazed into his eyes, not caring what was going on in the world around me. It felt as if we were the only two humans who existed. This boy was remarkable, his eyes shone like the sun and his cheeks calmed from the rush.
"James I'm going to speak to that assistant over there, she looks so fit" a tall boy from a distance called in our direction. He looked quite young with light brown hair styled near enough the same. By this time I came back to reality and lost the gaze I had with James - I guessed his name was - as this young boy disappeared behind a row of blue camper vans.
"Yeah 'course Charlie," James called, "I'll be over in a minute mate!" He turned back around to look at me. I just stood there smiling like an idiot with my cheeks blushing, but he just stood there with no expression on his face but a slight curve nudged it's way through his iron-straight lips.
"Hey, I'm sorry about bumping into you" I managed to speak through the awkward tension.
"No its fine, bump into me any time... I better go" he pointed his thumb over in the direction the boy went, a wink flashed his right eye.
Then he quickly sprinted from me.
Crane appeared at my side a few moments later, her hand upon my shoulder.
"Who was that?" She questioned, her stare chasing after him.
"I don't know but he looked familiar and his names James" I explained to her.
"HAHA JAMES GRAHAM" Crane Shouted. We stopped and looked at each other and then looked at him with shocked facial expressions. "Nah it couldn't be him! Why would he be looking at camper vans?" I said while still staring over at James.
"I don't know," she shrugged, "Well come on then, lets pick one or we're going to be here all day" she chuckled. Taking my hand in hers, we walked towards the more vintage camper vans, chuckling and laughing.
"I want this one Bec!," I cried out as I came across an old 90s camper, "Crane let's chose this red one!, it's so shiny and looks brand new" I walked along the side, gliding my fingers along the smooth and shiny red paint.
"Are you ok Amy?" I could hear Bec chuckle as she watched me. I could imagine her standing there with her arms crossed and a smile on her face.
"Yeah I am fine," I smiled "I just get hyper over stupid things" We both burst out laughing. We turned our attention to the sales assistant who magically appeared around the other side. We spoke about the car and it turned out to have been made in 1991 and was in pristine condition! He told us the car had had no work done to it but the interior needed some 'love' as he put it.
I let Bec take over with the camper, she already knew what she was looking for as she had researched a load of American car dealerships before we left. As I traced the smooth white paint along the triangle feature design on the front of the camper, zoning in and out of reality, I noticed the boy who I was talking to earlier looking over at us haggling over the camper. I smiled at James and then looked back at Crane who had finished talking with the sales assistant, a big smile plastered her face as she noticed my little stalker in the distance. James was leaning against a dark blue camper, similar to ours and was talking to the other boy. "JAMES GRAHAM!" Crane suddenly screamed from behind me.
He sharply turned around and we quickly ducked behind the front end of the camper, peaking round the front to watch his reaction. The two of them suddenly started walking towards the exit, James taking the lead, incase any fans had noticed them. We watched in shock as we witnessed James turning back around to give the area one last look around. We sprinted to the exit and watched them quick-walk down the street and dive into a black ten seater van and zoom off down the street. "Crane you idiot" I slightly pushed her.
"Sorry I just wanted to see if it was him" her face was still veiled with shock.
"OH MY GOD I STARED INTO JAMES GRAHAM'S EYES WOW!" I started to shout as my excitement escaped from me, "I SPOKE TO JAMES GRAHAM!" I wailed my arms around and jumped frequently on the spot. Crane just stared at me with a wide smile across her face and excitement glazed over her blue eyes. "Come on, we need to purchase that red camper van and get on the road," she turned around to look at me smiling like an idiot "You absolute idiot" she chuckled as I caught up. We both walked of in the direction of the sales assistant and paid for the red camper van of our dreams! Before you knew it we were back at our hostel room collecting our belongings back up, paying and diving into our brand new camper that would be our mobile home for the next nine months. We were ready for our adventure to begin, well we most definitely were as all I could hear from the back window was Bec singing gracefully along to ACDC and making up her own lyrics as she drove our beautiful camper.
"I'm on the highway to freedom!" Was all I could hear as I gazed out the back clear window to the LA road, watching the car behind and the view.
