Chapter 27

Danielle rolls down the window by a crack. "We can't share this space with you guys. We need our beauty sleep!"


Everyone else except for Danielle, Paris and I groaned and complained. I mean, it's not even that bad! This cardboard box is very snug, and protects me from the hot temperature of Australia. They all just need to get out a little more!

Eva Trend P.O.V


Danielle and Paris ended up locking themselves in the van for 6 hours. They had to open the door though because Paris had to pee. Danielle angrily started mumbling about how true ladies and queens can resist 'natural urges'.


We all (except for Jacob) grudgingly take our seats in the van and fall asleep. I only get like 3 hours of sleep or so, and at 7 we're on the road. Since Jacob had a great idea of destroying the walls of our accommodation, none of us can brush our teeth.


Trinity kindly hands out mints to everyone, and when she gets to Paris; Paris dunks almost all the mints down her mouth, and fixes on her eye mask, finally dozing off.


At 1:00 in the afternoon, we stop for lunch at the local beach in Darwin. I hungrily ate the noodles in my lap, I didn't get a chance for breakfast. This is because of Jacob's little act last night. I'm surprised that we didn't get a chance to pay for the broken wall, but I'm already embarrassed as hell.


I swish my legs on the sand that we're all munching away on. It feels really soft and grainy while listening to Paige's plans.


"So, I'm thinking about staying here at the beach..." Paige says as she anxiously looks over her map.


"Yes!" Danielle cheers. She gets Sarah and Zoe to make a huge list of things that Danielle has to do at the beach. "Sarah, take at least 1000 photos for my insta followers, at least 60 tiktoks and Zoe; I need lots of drinks and towels to make it look as aesthetic as possible! Go Zoe! "


Zoe runs off to a surfer shop on the peer, and Danielle continues talking about getting a tan, and then she makes a shady comment about Sebastian's spray tan. Sebastian gets really mad so he throws a bottle of his orange tan at Danielle, but it misses and hits Paris on the head instead.


The spray tan spills out and drenches Paris back in Sebastians spray tan and she whines in disgust.


"EW!" Paris cries, quickly taking off her velvet sweater she's wearing. She throws it onto Maverick's head who is sadly next to her. Maverick peels the orange drenched sweater off of him and whacks it into Paris' face.


"EEEEEEEEEEEEK!" Paris screams. Everyone around us on the beach shoots dirty looks at us.


"Keep the fucking noise down mate!" This one guy in his red swimming trunks says while cooking some sausages on the barbecue.


Jacob waves frantically at him, and runs straight for the barbecue. He barrels into an innocent bystander, and knocks her over. Along with the baby she was carrying in her hands. Zoe returns back from the surfer shop, and dumps kombucha drinks and towels out of her bags.


"What the heck?" The woman said, picking up her baby and backing away from Jacob.


Jacob weirdly smiles at her, and holds out his hands. "I love kids, especially girls! Can I hold her?"


"Get away from me!"


"Zoe!" Danielle's shrill voice screeches, interrupting everything. The women with her aby looks ticked off as her spare hand is planted on her hips.


"Did you seriously get this red flavour? You know obviously pink is my aesthetic! Go get a new one!" Danielle orders, pointing her fingers at the shop.


"They um... sold out," Zoe softly says.


"You're useless!" Danielle retorts, "Sarah! Go get a pink kombucha!"


"Nah," Sarah dismisses, "I don't really feel like it."


"YALL USELESS!" Danielle screeches, stomping off over to the shops herself to get her pink kombucha.


"I know that person from somewhere," Mychaelade studies carefully at the random women. "Wait, are you Sarah?"


"Huh? Me?" Sarah dumbly says, looking around.


"Not you," Mychaelade carefully says. "Sarah Magusara!"


"Yeah, that's me," other Sarah shrugs. "Can you tell your friend to stop asking me for my child? It's getting very creepy."


Jacob holds out his hands widely, and starts nodding at her baby. Her kid starts bawling loudly as other Sarah holds her tight in her arms. The kid starts crying even louder, so other Sarah sets her down on the dry sand.


"Guys, she has my name! Anyone else not weirded out by this?" Sarah (Graysun) exclaims, "I mean... I thought I was the only person with Sarah as a name!"


"That makes the two of us!" Zoe agrees, "I bet Sarah isn't even that ladies real name! She's probably just a super fan!"


"Oh yeah!" Sarah smiles, then she turns to look at other Sarah. "Do you want my autograph?"


"Zamira, can you beli- wait... Zamira, where are you?" Other Sarah screams, frantically looking around the beach. She digs down into the sand, and then roars even louder - "Where is my kid? Where is your weird friend that kept on asking for my kid? He's not gonna hurt her, is he?"


It doesn't take us long to find Jacob, he was practically screaming his head off about different gun types and sweats.


"Have my scar, shoot the last kid and get the victory royale!" Jacob loudly chants. "See Zamira! We won the victory Royale!"


"ZAMIRA!" Other Sarah cries, running towards her kid as Jacob stands strong in front of her. Guarding the unsuspecting kid on the ground.


"N00o0o0o0o0o0o00ooo0!" Jacob screams back, hugging the baby trying to shield him from us. He does this dog face and whimper and lets tears fall down his face. Other Sarah snatches Zamira quite easily as Cash and Maverick restrain Jacob.


"We're so so sorry," Trinity apologises, "really we are."


"It's okay," Other Sarah dismisses, "it's not your fault. Anyways, I think it's time for me to go."


Other Sarah and her child wave goodbye, and then they walk on over to the carpark. Jacob runs back to us, and he grins. Danielle finally returns from her Kombucha errand, her eyebrows stuck in a stiff position as she prepares to unleash her wrath.


"WHY DIDN'T ANY OF YOU TELL ME THAT THEY SOLD OUT? YOU ARE HORRIBLE ASSISTANTS!" She loudly roars, "YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY JUST JEALOUS AND TRYING TO SABOTAGE ME YOU COWARDS! YOU WANNA SABOTAGE ME? FIGHT ME BITCHES!"


Danielle gets in a fighting stance, holding her knuckles high as she gets ready to pounce. Sarah and Zoe cower in silence onto the ground, and starts begging for forgiveness.


"Should we stop them?" Brooke sighs, "I feel bad for them."


"No!" The guide snaps, "this is good quality tea! You gotta let it boil!"


Sarah's and Zoe's huge apology goes on for a couple of more minutes, and then they get interrupted by Jacob walking back down from his adventure.


"Can we have some of the sausages they are cooking?" Jacob asks, unaware of the scene he had just walked in on. "I'm hungry."


The guide sighs, and shakes his head. "Jacob, I don't think they like you."


"Everyone likes me! Who here likes me? Raise their hands!"


No one except for Sebastian raises their hands.


"Not even you Danielle?" Lauren mysteriously inquires.


"Oh hell no," she replies, texting on her phone.


"You are his girlfriend and stuff..." I say, "didn't you say you loved him back at tiktok camp?"


"Listen doll," Danielle absentmindedly said. "Love and like is very different. I do not like Jacob, I think he's ugly and stupid."


"Danielle, that's a bit harsh-"


"You didn't let me finish!" She snapped, "yes. He's a stupid person, but I love him. He's a great loyal slave, and awesome at being my boyfriend."


Jacob and Danielle share a brief moment, gazing into each other's eyes before Jacob goes back to asking the guide for a sausage. The guide sighs in frustration, and wipes sweat off from his forehead.


"Well... I guess I could use my portable Barbecue at the back of my van... Alright, let's cook some sausages."


Everyone except for Danielle and Paris cheer as the guide loads out his barbecue. He tells us to get some meat for us to pour on. Jacob wanted to get a special surprise for all of us.


"Right," the guide exclaims, wiping sweat off his forehead. "First rounds of sausages are done!"


"Wait!" Jacob yells, "I've got my surprise!"


"What is it?"


"Shrimp!"


"Jacob don't put shrimp on the barbie they won't like-"


Jacob pours bags and bags of shrimp onto the barbecue, and almost everyone on the beach glares at us. Paige starts mumbling nervous prayers under her breath while her feet anxiously trail around on the sand.


"We don't want shrimp on the barbie," the man closest to us remarks.


The whole beach starts chanting 'we don't want shrimp on the barbie' and Jacob is getting slandered by fistfuls of sand and flip flops. He starts flapping his arms everywhere and falls onto the sand screaming about shrimp.


"I hope you get stung by a stingray!" Jacob spits onto the sand, coaxing the man's foot. Ew.


The guy's eyes started watering and he falls onto the ground, bawling like a little child mumbling something about stingrays.


"Now now," the guide soothingly says. "We're really really sorry about that, please don't report us to the police-"


The man wipes his teary eyes, and sniffs loudly. "Fine, anything for a fellow Australian. In straya, we gotta stick together."


The guide bends down to shake his hands, and motions for us to all go back to the van.


"Now," the guide says, clearing his voice. "I feel like no matter how many times I say this you will all disobey me, so I'm not even gonna say it. But what I will say is that starting tomorrow, we are following a strict time table. You should all be disappointed in yourselves."


Trinity nods her head quietly while Paige stifles a little cry. Noen had been asleep in the van the whole time, and Danielle's posse couldn't be bothered to do anything. All the boys go silent, and Charli starts dancing to the WAP. Lil huddy desperately covers Charli, stretching his arms out as Charli drops down onto the ground.


Some boys who were peacefully eating ice cream get wind of Charli dancing to the WAP dance, and start simping over her. Lil huddy gives them the finger, and they run off.


Cash bravely clears his throat. "Guide, no offence but almost none of us didn't even do anythi-"


"QUIET!" He barks, "you've all played a role in this roadtrips disaster! First we got banned from uluru, then we got banned from nobu. Eva got bitten by a snake because of Paris-"


"It was so not my fault," Paris scoffs. She pulls out a tube of dark red lipstick and firmly starts pressing it on her lips. Danielle's mouth drops open when she realises what brand Paris is using, and starts to brainstorm with her minions on ways to steal it from her.


"Paris, you don't even like road trips. Why did you even come here? Why did I even come here? I should be at home studying to become a vet. Why did I even go to tiktok camp? I wish I didn't go-"


"Eva, stop with the little rant. We get it, you're stressed, but I chipped my nail and that's higher on the priority list." Danielle dismisses, "I just applied some new exclusive hot pink nail polish onto them, and they broke. Can you believe that? I'll have to sue the company that sold these trampy acrylics."


Danielle starts filing her nails ignorantly while Zoe scribbles down ideas in her notebook. Sarah scaredly looks at Danielle's chipped nail, and tries to fix it. Danielle swats her hand away, and Sarah sinks down into the ground.


"I just want to leave." I quietly mumble under my breath. I climb back into the van, and everyone goggles at me. Paris doesn't look like she heard anything, and starts applying another layer of lipstick.


Looks like they heard me.
