When The Lights Go Down

Carnival

-Friday after school-

*Bailey walks into her room and drops her backpack into the corner, she is quickly followed by Livie and Ronnie*

(Olivia) Ok so what are you going to wear on your first date with Sam Sam the hottie man??

(Bailey) *laughing* it’s not a date….it’s a group thing, and I have no idea, I figured I would let you dress me as usual 

*Livie claps excitedly before retreating to B’s closet to search for an outfit*

(Bailey) so what is the deal with you and Joe? Are you guys together or what?

(Ronnie) *shrug* I dunno, we are just enjoying eachothers company at the moment

(Olivia) friends with benefits *smile*

(Ronnie) you make that sound so trashy 

(Olivia) well excuse me, what would you call it then, you guys aren’t technically dating because he will leave again on tour soon and you can’t do the whole long distance thing so while he is here you guys just hang out and make out

(Ronnie) why does it need a title?

(Olivia) I swear you are like the only girl on the planet that willingly decides to NOT date a Jonas Brother…there is something seriously wrong with you. 

(Ronnie) So you think you could handle dating someone who is essentially gone half the year either off on tour or meet and greets or interviews, surrounded by thousands of gorgeous screaming girls willing to do ANYTHING just to touch him…

(Olivia) uhhh…YES

(Ronnie) well, then why aren’t you dating one of them?

(Olivia) because I think Josh might have an issue with it seeing as how I am with him

(Ronnie) and if you weren’t with Josh?

(Olivia) I would date Nick in a second if I weren’t with Josh

(Bailey) that would be so neat actually, having him date someone I actually approve of

(Ronnie) what, you don’t like Miley? 

(Bailey) I love Miley, just not necessarily dating Nick, his schedule is hectic enough, to add another hectic schedule to the mix just makes things crazy, the boys need to date normal girls not other teen celebrities. 

(Ronnie) HA! You wanna be the most loved girl in the world? Say THAT on the next live chat

(Olivia) Ok so what are we doing tonight I need to know how to dress you

(Bailey) that carnival thing the seniors are putting on to raise senior trip funds…it should be fun

(Olivia) you realize Jake will be there right

(Bailey) *shrug* so what, no different than having to see him everyday in class. 

(Olivia) *texs Josh with plans* K, here wear this…before I do

*Livie hands B an outfit and Nick walks in*

(Olivia) Hola Nicholas how goes it

(Nick) what are you guys up to? 

(Bailey) pickin out something to wear for tonight

(Nick) oh yea? Where ya going?

(Bailey) not me, us, we are going to the carnival thing the seniors are putting on

(Nick) I’m not

(Bailey) oh yes you are, and so is Livie and Josh and Ronnie and Joe and Sam

(Nick) well then I’m definitely not going…three couples and me, no thanks

(Bailey) Sam and I aren’t a couple we are just friends , and according to Ronnie, Joe and her aren’t dating either

(Nick) whatever you say, still not going

(Bailey) Yes you are! With Dad in L.A. this week, it’s the first weekend JB hasn’t had to do something, you are going to go be social with me whether you like it or not.

*there was a short stare down between B and Nick before he gives in*

(Nick) *defeated* fine. 

-Later that night, Carnival-

(Bailey) Sam just texted me, he said there is a parking spot next to him. He is parked next to Joe’s Pizza and is holding the spot for us

*Ronnie rounds the corner and pulls into Joe’s and she, Joe, Nick and B pile out*

(Sam) *smiling at B* Hey

(Bailey) hey *smiling* um, Sam, these are my brothers, *pointing as she intros* this is Joe

(Joe) you’re the guy that flattened Jake at that party?

(Sam) uh, yea I guess that would be me

(Joe) *smile* well then, nice to meet you, I’m a fan of your work

(Sam) ha! thanks

(Bailey) and this is Nick *grabbing Nicks hand*

(Nick) *gives a sharp nod while staring Sam down* hey

(Bailey) *slaps Nick on the shoulder* be nice

(Sam) *laughs* no, its cool, I get it...I have a little sister

(Bailey) *smile* ok so Livie is supposed to text when she gets here so we can go

*the 5 make their way past the road blocks and into the carnival set up in the middle of town*

(Sam) so what did you want to do first? *looking around at the different booths of food and games*

(Bailey) *rolls eyes* it’s like you’ve never met me….*pulls Nick with her towards the cotton candy booth*

(Sam) HA…yea I should have called that one

*B turns around after getting her cotton candy to see Jake about 15 feet away, glaring*

Bailey’s Inner Monologue

Craaaap… I knew there was a good chance that he would be here but I didn’t realize with all these people I'd actually have to see him, he looks pissed…

* Joe steps in front of B to Block Jakes glare*

(Joe) Ignore him B, lets go
