Another Guy, Another Fight, chapter 1

Okay, so I am sitting here waiting for the damn bus as I am too lazy to get my license. Getting my license was a new years eve resolution for me. But the year is just starting and we are in March. There is 9 months left of the year! I have plenty of time... Right? So here I am. A boring life. I have this stupid journal in my hand along with my Diploma couse work. I vowed myself to write in it everyday. Bullshit! Oh look there is my stupid bus coming down the highway. I'd better get up now and be prepared to give the driver my fare. My MP3 is still hooked up to my ears. I don't care. I pay the fare and go down the back of the bus. Listening to my MP3 I ignore the world. There is a guy in front of me. I ignore him... .although he is kind of cute and wait I know him from somewhere. I swear I have seen him before. He looks at me. I think I will wait till he starts to talk to me. I just smiled at him! Why did I do that? ... now he is bound to talk to me. Too bad I have my earphones blaring. Ummm... .he is coming over to me now and he just sat down next to me. How rude... He moved my bag and how rude again... He just took my earphones out of my ears! He may be cute but I don't like this! He is invading my personal space!

"You have beautiful eyes!" he remarked. Eh... ummm err what do I say now?!

"Thanks" I smiled back at him and put the earphones back in my ears and looked out the window. As soon as I did that he taps me on the shoulder and pulls out my earphones once again.

"Yes?" I asked in an agitated tone.

"What are you listening to that can be more important than me?" he asked.

"Music!" I smirked.

"May I listen?" he asked politely. Is this guy for real?! "Sure... if you like... " I smiled sweetly. I graciously handed him my earphones and he put them in. I saw the twisted smile on his face while he listened. Maybe he liked it?

"You are a mischievous girl aren't you?" He smiled wickedly.
"If you want me to be" I smiled back.

"What is someone as innocent looking as yourself doing listening to that song. It will ruin your innocence."

"And what would you know about me? How do you know I'm innocent?"

He removed the sunglasses that were plastered to his face and placed them on his forehead. "Because I know who you are!"

And at the very moment I just figured out the guy's identity! It the famous HOT30 host from the countries number one countdown station at night. This is the guy that I emailed and he rang me back a couple times.

"Craig?" I questioned. He nodded. "What are you doing here? Stalking me?" I joked.

"Not really munchkin. Just exploring Newcastle. Matt said I should take a look around, so I am here and exploring and now I bumped into you. How bizarre right?"

"Very" I commented. "But what is your real reason that you're here?"

"Oh you know me too well. Okay I will let you on a little secret. I am headed to NXFM station Headquarters for a very secret show. You can come with me if you like... "

"Really?"

"Yes. Of course you can."

"Umm okay but I got to drop off at home first and get ready."

"I can wait" he responded. "May I come to your house and then we go from there?"

"Invite yourself mister! But yes you may."

We talked a little bit more after agreeing to come back to my place. How weird was this going to be? My sister never really liked him. I thought he was all right. People think he looks like Anthony Callea, the Australian Idol finalist who lost last year whose fame has rocketed.

"This is our stop" I said changing the amusing conversation we were having about him being Anthony's long lost twin cousin. I pressed the button and we got off the bus. When we got out he reached for my hand. My response: I pulled away. I saw the annoyance on his face as we ventured up the hill.

"Gees you got to walk up this thing everyday?" he complained. I nodded. "I'm not complaining!" I smirked.
We finally reached my place. Craig was all puffed out. I couldn't help but laugh.
"What's so funny?" he asked out of breath.

"You!" I pointed at him and then ran up the concrete stairs with Craig close behind and I knocked on the door. My mum greeted and led us in. I saw her closely looking at Craig. I could sense she knew who he was.

"Mum this is Craig! Craig this is my Mum."

Craig and Mum exchanged welcomes and I led him to my room... why did I do that? I don't want to lead him on. So anyway we walked up the hallway to my room. I opened the door and walked in first.

"Nice room you have here, I now believe you about Green Day!"

I blushed. He was talking about my wall. It was covered in Green Day posters along with Blink 182, The Used, Simple Plan, Good Charlotte and other stuff like that.

"Muffin which bed is yours?" He asked looking at the two beds. I pointed to the one against the wall and sat down on it. I left him standing. "Sit if you like. I'm not going to bite." He laughed and sat down next to me make the bed sink a little deeper. Then he did the craziest thing: He put his arms around me snuggling me close to him. I have never been in this predicament in my life and it scares me!

"Craig, what are you doing?"

"Giving you a hug and... Sorry I will stop."
He removed his arms from around me.

"Craig could you excuse me, I got to shower. You can go out and mingle with my mum"

"Yes Munchkin!" He smiled and headed down the hallway out of my room towards the kitchen.

I left room grabbing some clothes and a towel and soon showered. When I got out, dried off and tiptoed into my bedroom. Craig was not there. I soon got ready doing my hair and makeup and put on something sexy! Well not really sexy but I like to say that!

I walked into the kitchen where Craig was leaning on the bench top talking to my Mum who was packing the dishwasher. Way to go mum! As soon as I walked in Craig looked at me with his mouth wide open.

"You look nice" he commented. "I called Matt and he is coming to pick us up in an hour or so."

"Cool. Sounds good. What you want to do in the meantime?"

"We could chit chat. Which reminds me. I got a surprise for you when we get to the studio." he replied.

"Surprise?" I questioned with a worried look.

He laughed. "Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."

For about the next hour we played Play Station 2 games like Dragon Ball Z. I was kicking his ass. I am the master at 'Budokai.'

"This is not fair. I bet if this was a ninja turtle game I would beat your ass."

"I highly doubt that Mr Low!" I remarked proudly.

Just then Craig's Mobile rang. "Hang on a sec." He answered his phone. "Hello... Matt... .Yeh... okay we will be at the front waiting then! Okay... See you then. Bye!"

He hung up and looked to me. "He will be here in about less than 10 minutes. Shall we get ready to leave?"

"Okay" I nodded in agreement. "Can we bring my friend Mandy? Please? She just lives down the road and she won't cause any trouble, I promise." I looked at him with innocent eyes.

He gave in to me, "Alright, if she wants to then she can come along for the ride."

"Great!" I said and reached for the home phone and dialed her number. It rang a couple of times and then someone picked up.

Mandy is a good friend of mine. In fact... she is my best friend. She moved here from Connecticut in the states when she was 15 and we have been friends ever since. I met her at the bus stop. I laugh at that all the time. When friends ask where did I meet her... I say the bus stop! We are both 20 now and share everything with one another... .okay probably not everything...

"Hello?" they said the voice on the other end.
"Hey, that you Mandy?"
"It sure is. What you up to Kristie?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to somewhere special. No wait... you have to come with me. I am demanding you. Get yourself ready now, we are picking you up in less than 10 minutes."
I heard her chuckle down the line. "Okay but can you tell me what for? And who is we?"
"You will have to wait and see," I teased.
She laughed, "Okay see you in 10 then."

We both hung up and I turned to Craig with a small grin spreading across my face.
"She can come." I said to him. He smiled and nodded.

*

I soon was ready and Craig and I headed out to the front lawn. We stood on the grass together. Craig's hand was searching for mine, and lingered his fingers with my right hand. Okay... maybe this is a good thing? I laced my fingers with his to the point where we were holding hands. Craig was leaning close to me when... . 'BEEP!" A car blew its horn at us. It pulled up on the footpath and the driver got out of the car. It was Matt, the 'Gay' super producer of the Hot30. Talk about your perfect timing!

"Hey Lowie." Smiled Matt.
"Hey Matty! This is Kristie who I was telling you about."

Matt walks over to me and shakes my hand, "Nice to finally meet you Kristie. I remember you from our calls we had." He winked at me. Silly boy.

We got in the car. I sat in the back and Craig followed sitting next to me while Matt drove us down to Mandy's. Craig said were stopping to pick up Mandy on the way to Matt. A minute later we stopped outside a house. It was Mandy's of course! I hopped out of the car and knocked on her door. I didn't need to knock because she opened it before I could.

"So what's the surprise?" she asked giving me a hug.
"You will see! Come on."
I guided her to the car and when we got there she freaked out. "Kristie... how did you manage to get a ride with Lowie?"

I explained to her that we met on the bus and so on. I told her to get in the front with Matt. Maybe she can convert him!

We drove off to NXFM headquarters about fifteen minutes later. The whole trip over there was Mandy asking the guys, especially Matt a whole bunch of questions such as, "Why are you here?" "Is there anymore surprises?" and yada... yada... yada. It was funny seeing my best friend excited over meeting celebrities, let alone in a car with them. I giggled to her comments. I couldn't help it. Craig would look over at me every now and then when he thought I wasn't looking but I was looking. Yes I was looking. He didn't know. He is so stupid sometimes. But I would look at him when he wasn't looking. Creepy.

Mandy couldn't keep her eyes off Matt and I swear I saw him blush a very faint shade of pink when she touched him on his side being all but playful. Aww he likes her. But wait... he is gay! Yes, my plan is working. She is converting him. Or maybe he is Bi? It's all-good. He is a cutie. I would have him any day.

We got out of the car and headed to the front of the building finding its entrance and walked through the entrance. We were headed towards a office but stopped by this bitchy woman at the front desk.

"Excuse me but could I please some Identification. You can't just go behind there without telling me who you are!"

I rolled my eyes. Matt was calm approaching the manly like woman behind the reception desk. Mandy held onto his hand. I think he liked it. He didn't resist her touch or pull away.

"Yes, I am Matt and this is Craig Low. We are from the HOT30 crew doing the show here in your studios tonight. Here is my ID. Any further questions?" He told her calmly.

Wow he took that smoothly. She was clearly a bitch, well in my mind anyway she was.
She took Matt and Craig's Ids and eyed them closely. 'Hey bitch don't get a good look otherwise I will deck you' I thought. Craig had his arm swung around my waist pulling me close to his nicely toned body. We were finally cleared to go into the studio once she checked with her large manly spectacles. I think she needed a magnified glass to examine them!

We headed to the studio... finally after all the fooling around and shit like that with the 'man' reception lady. She reminded me of the security guard at the Kelly Clarkson concert who was also a 'Man Bitch.'

Matt opened the door to a mysterious room where a paper sign was stuck on there saying 'HOT30.' Matt went through first with Mandy following him close behind. I was about to walk in when Craig stopped me by surprise. "What's the matter?" was my immediate reaction. He didn't say anything but look me in the eyes. He leaned into me dipping his head and we shared our first kiss.

"What was that for?" I asked with a goofy like smile. He laughed. "Because I like you!" He took my hand and led me inside the door. I was nearly in the room and he leaned to my ear whispering, "Don't scream!" I gave him a weird look and he chuckled.

I walked into the studio room expecting something to be so scary I would shake out of my shoes. He was nearly right on one thing though... I nearly screamed but I managed to gasp covering my mouth with my hand. I saw Mandy and she was quite shocked too and was hiding behind Matt. I was beginning to think it was all a dream. Don't get me wrong, the studio was amazing, hence I have never been in a studio before or really seen one so I can't really comment now can I? Anyway there was all the equipment and such and there was a large lounge and 3 certain peoples were sitting on that very lounge. This must have been my lucky day or something.

The one sitting on the right commented, "Wow you didn't have to bring these pretty girls to satisfy us." He had gorgeous blue eyes and was looking in my direction. The one in the middle was looking at Mandy. Well I think he was. And the one on the left was looking at into mid air although he did show us a smile.

The guy on the right stood up and walked up to Craig and I.
"Nice to finally meet you Lowie. Why do they call you that anyway? Is this lovely lady going to give you a blowie," he joked and laughed at his own joke.

Craig went very red and I looked the other way and laughed silently to myself. That's when the other guy's attention was drawn to me. "So you did give him one!" he deviously smiled. "Sorry to embarrass you." I laughed again.

"So what is your name young lady?" he asked me. He was clearly flirting with me. I think Craig was getting a little bit jealous and wrapped his arms around my waist. Great... now I like two guys!

"Kristie." I told him "But you don't have to introduce yourself to me. I already know who you are... Franky."
He gasped fake shock. "No one has called me that since... I don't remember." He chuckled. "But please... call me Tre!" He reached out to shake my hand and I shook his. "Nice to meet you!" I smiled sweetly.

Meanwhile Mandy was talking to the other guy... well you probably figured it was Billie Joe by now. Yes he took a liking to Mandy. Mandy would always gush over him to me in our spare time at home while I would gush over Tre and go on fan sites and so on... um shit I am sounding like a groupie or teenie or whatever you call it.

Mandy and Matt were in deep conversation with Billie Joe now. I could tell Craig was getting pissed off with Tre trying to steal me away.

"I am going to talk to Mike" he said and took his arms from around me and went over to the lounge.
"What's up his butt?" I asked no one. I didn't mean for anyone to answer it as it was a rhetorical question. "I think me" said Tre looking down at his shoes. I looked at him, "No you didn't do anything wrong, he is just jealous... I think." I replied back. He looked up from the floor meeting my eyes, "Really?" he innocently said. I nodded.

Stepping closer to me Tre whispered, "wanna go somewhere else?"
"Sure" I nodded in agreement. He took me by the hand and led me out the door.

When we were out he asked me, "Are you going out with Blowie... I mean Lowie."

I laughed in hysterical, "No... I just met him this arvo and I kind of know him from emails and stuff like that. Although I think I led him on a bit by letting him get too close to me. I like him and all but I don't think in that way. I am confused at the moment and he seems overprotective and shit like that." I just spilled out my feelings to Tre.

He tilted his head to register the information, "I see. So you are free to see anyone you like. That's cool. So am I."

I nudged him, "You Dork!"

"What was that for Miss?" he faked been hurt. "I wont be able to drum anymore if you keep that up." He playfully complained.

"Sure" I rolled my eyes and he laughed.

"So can you show me around here. If you are good I might buy you something special."

I agreed and we walked out the building and down the highway on the main street. We walked pass shops and we walked pass this particular place which was amazingly appealing to Tre. He jerked his head and dragged along to the front of the shop. He was jumping up and down and I realized what it was. No. No way... I am not going in there!

"What is this place?" he asked me.
"I don't know, Tre. What does it look like to you?"
His grin grew wider into a huge smile. Typical male.
"Lets go inside" he urged.
I folded my arms across my chest, "No" I simply said.
"Awwww please!" he looked like he was about to go to the toilet or piss his pants.
"No Tre."

I began to walk the other way but I felt him grab me and swing me over his shoulder.

"Tre I swear, I am going to kill you. We are not going in there and that is Final!"

He laughed and he walked into the shop carrying me over his shoulder in with him. This was going to be so embarrassing!
