In the middle of nowhere

Making memories

Lamar pov

I jump out the bus. 'Ready for some dance!' I say.

It's 1:17 pm. We just arrived in Thule and we only have one evening show today, so after practice it's time to explore the city. Time to make some amazing memories. If you draw an imaginary line between Ottawa and Montreal, you see a little small river from north to south. Right their, in west of that river is a little city called Thule. Although it's little, it has a bit theater with a lot of fans.

We just run one time through all the dances because 1, we have practiced so much for the tour, and 2, we are hungry, and 3, we want to explore the city, see if there is something fun to do.

'So,' I say when we're done with the little practice, 'where are we going?' 'I searched on internet,' says Victoria, 'and there's a big mall not far from here.' 'NOOO,' scream Isaac, Myles, Trevor and I at the same time. 'We're not going to shop,' says Trevor very clearly. 'Alright, alright,' says Brittany, 'but only if you have something better to do.' 'Of course,' I say, 'I always know something to do.'

'Ok,' says Myles, 'no offense, but I'm hungry and I saw a pizzeria before practice, so I'm gonna eat pizza first.' 'I'll come,' says Isaac. 'Yea,' say Jordan, 'that's a pretty good idea.' 'Everyone in?' I ask. Everyone nods. 'Ok,' I say walking away, 'lets eat some pizza!!!' The others follow.

'So,' I say after the pizza, 'they have a beautiful park a little outside the city, I thought we could maybe go to it.' 'Sounds nice,' says Jordan, 'one problem, how are we getting there?' 'I'm google maps in person,' says Isaac we'll find it.' 'No,' says Trevor, 'we're taking the subway.' 'I don't really care,' says Briar, 'as long as we've fun I'm fine with everything.' 'Good,' I say and stand up. 'Don't even worry about it,' says Trevor. 'Your tour guides T and I are ready,' adds Isaac. The girls laugh. I doubt if we'll find in anytime soon.

We walk through the city looking for the subway. Now is a perfect time to find out who Briar's secret love is. I turn around to see where Briar is. Victoria walks next to Briar. Of course, am I this stupid?? I should've stayed around Briar right away. I see Myles walking alone, option two. Myles is one of Briar's best friends so he will probably know. Well, I tell my best friends everything, so I assume she'll do too.

'He Myles,' I say walking a little faster to reach him. 'He Britt,' he says, 'what's up?' 'Oh .. Eh nothing,' I say, 'I just came to catch up with a good friend.' 'Alright,' says Myles a little confused, 'who is it?' 'Oh Myles, don't be ridiculous,' I say sarcastically, 'I meant you.' 'Oh,' he says, 'Okay.'

'Sooo,' I say, 'how are you doing?' 'I'm doing pretty well,' he says, 'how are you doing?' 'Good, good,' I say, 'how's your cat doing?' He starts a whole story about his cat catching a mouse or something, but I can't keep my concentration on it.

I have to trap him or something, he's probably not going to tell me if he knows something about Briar other wise. But how? I can't just ask. Maybe I can do like it think she likes him, I'll know soon enough if he knows or not.

'He Myles,' I say probably in the middle of his whole cat story, 'I heard Briar likes you.' Myles doesn't react, he looks around probably to see if anyone heard us. 'Where are you talking about?' he asks. Doesn't he know or is acting like he doesn't know? 'Yea,' I say casually, 'Briar told us she likes someone, like 'like' like someone, so I assumed it's you.' 'Oh, eh no that isn't me,' says Myles after a while. Bingo! Just the answer I was looking for. 'So you know who it is?' I ask. 'No,' says Myles way to fast to not sound suspicious. 'So how do you know it isn't you?' I ask. I got him, if he really knows he'll have to say who it is, if he doesn't know, I know he lied. 'Yea,' he says, 'I ehh.... she .... she told me,' he says hesitant looking where he walks so he has not to look at me.

'So,' I say after a while, 'who is it?' He knows, and he's going to tell me. 'Someone you don't know,' he tries. 'Yea, nice try,' I say and smile, 'I don't really care that much about that.' 'Alright,' he says, 'if your really want to know, it's a guy from our dance studio.' 'Aha,' I say, 'a dancer nice!' 'Jep,' says Myles probably thinking this conversation is over. 'So what's his name?' I ask. 'I'm afraid you'll not stop before I tell you right?' he asks. 'Nope,' I say and smile, 'so, what's his name.' 'His name ... eh ... his name is Ryan.' 'Oeh,' I say, 'I like that name.'

'Ok, thank you,' I say while I walk to Isaac and Trevor who walk ahead of everyone. 'Have we already reached the subway?' I ask. 'No,' says Trevor, 'but if Isaac would've listened, we would've find it.' 'You don't know that,' says Isaac a little angry, 'I think we just have to follow this street.' 'Why don't we just ask someone?' I suggest. 'NO,' they say at the same time. 'Ok,' I say, 'relax, I get it that you feel too good to ask someone.' 'That's not true,' says Isaac. 'No?' I ask surprisingly. Of course they won't ask, it's "not good for their image" ugh, boys. 'Can I try it?' I say. 'Maybe,' says Isaac. Seriously Isaac, what's that for an answer, "maybe"?? 'Follow me,' I say before they can do anything. I'm leading the group now and to be honest, I'm not leading them to the subway. We walked along a nice shop a few minutes ago and we're going to it. End of discussion.
