Real Or Not Real?

Chapter 2

Ariel's P.O.V

When Jason and I get to the door, Suzan and another women are waiting there, and I can't help but feel excited.

"Jason and Ariel, meet your new mother, Jennifer." Suzan says, looking at Jennifer.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you." Jennifer's warm smile makes me feel so welcome. She takes her hand out, and Jason shakes her hand.

"Hi. This is Ariel, obviously. I mean Suzan already told you about her so you must already know but-"

"Jason talks a lot when he gets nervous." Suzan says, glaring at him but smiling.

"Yeah, sorry." Jason takes a step back, but he doesn't stop looking nervous.

"Hey, Ariel. I'm so happy to finally meet you." Jennifer kneels down in front of me.

"It's nice to meet you too." I finally say, more nervous then I thought I would be.

"Are you guys ready to go home?" Jennifer says, looking at both Jason and I.

I shrug, and Jason yells, "Of course!"

"Well, I guess we'll go then. Do you guys have all your stuff?" She says.

I nod.

"Do you want me to take your bags?"

"No thanks." Jason and I say at the same time.

"Okay, well..." Jennifer stands up, and looks at Suzan. "It was great to meet you. Thank you for everything." She takes out her hand, and Suzan shakes it.

"It was a great pleasure to meet you, Ms.Lawrence. Goodbye, Jason and Ariel." Suzan says, obviously faking a smile.

"Bye," Both of us simply answer.

We both turn towards the door, but wait for Jennifer.

"Wait, before we go. I just want to tell you guys, there might be paparazzi. You just have to ignore them and follow me, okay?" She takes our my hand, and unlike Jason, I continue holding on to it.

"What's paparazzi?" I say, feeling dumb.

"It's...people that take pictures of celebrities. They could be rude at times. They'll ask you questions too, but don't answer them, okay?" She says.

"Okay." I say, getting a little scared. These people seem a little scary, but luckily Jen is there for me, along with my new brother.

"Wait...you mean, you're like...famous?" Jason says, sounding amazed.

"I guess you could say that." Jen answers casually.

"Well, I don't care if your famous or not, as long as you're my mom." Jason says.

"Aw, I love you guys." She says. Jen looks at me and continues, "Don't worry, as soon as we get out, we'll have security guards around us to make sure we're okay. I hired them just to make sure you guys will be safe." Probably noticing that I'm scared, she smiles to make me feel better.

We open the first set of doors, where we can see what is actually going on outside. In the middle, there's a clear path that leads to long black car. On the sides, there's men that are holding back people from going on the path. Probably the security guards, I think to myself. Then, there's tons of people with expensive looking cameras. I never had one of those, but if I did, I wouldn't bring it to a place where it could get destroyed.

"Woah," Jason says, breaking the silence. "That is so cool."

"Looking at it may seem cool, but when you're in it, it isn't so fun." Jennifer says. She takes out her phone, which is ringing, and says, "One second."
