Part Five
"Argh! Stupid basecoat! You can’t paint for shit!!!" I mumbled to myself. I was painting the first colours on everything so I could add the effects later. "So that’s what a mural looks like? I don’t see it.." A voice said behind me. I turned around to a grinning guy. "Thanx, and with who do I have the pleasure? " I said while rolling my eyes. Something about this place made me forget about all my shyness. "Ooh, big sentence! Classy girl! " He said in a weird voice. "I, milady, I s sir Brandon von Dicamillo! But I will give you the privilege of calling me Dico! " He was bouncing on the balls of his feet now. I already knew who all of them were of course, but I wasn’t about to let them know. "Well, Dico.. This is the beginning of a mural. The effects still have to be added. Content? Or do you also want to know which paint I am using? " His eyes lit up. "Yes! " He practically ran in to the room and sat on the ground with his hands in his lap. "Well? Tell me! " I looked at him in disbelief and sighed. "It was a rhetorical question! " "Oh.. okay.. " He skipped out of the room. About five minutes after he left, I heard a scream. It sounded like April. I threw down my brush and ran downstairs. I saw April standing in the yard with a lot of guys around her. All carrying a big hairy spider. She was white as a ghost. And of course, whit those guys where Bam and Dico, I also saw the one they referred to as dunn, and Raab. "Leave her alone! Can’t you see she’s scared for her life! " I yelled while running outside. "Eh, DUH! " Novak said. Bam turned to me and said "Hey! Look! It’s the painter girl! " With that all the others looked at me and April took the opportunity to sneak away. Then I noticed a camera crew, also turning their attention to me. Thank god I wasn’t afraid of spiders. I even liked them! They all came walking to me. "Now you helped her get away! " Bam looked at me in disbelief. "Shouldn’t you go paint or something? " He asked with a glint in his eye. I was guessing he wanted to put the spiders on me, so I decided to play with him for a bit. I flopped down on the grass and closed my eyes. "Nope! Fine right here! By the way, what’s the camera for? Professional version of home video making or just an ego boost? " I asked while biting my tongue a little. I still had my eyes closed. "You’re kidding right? " Came the voice of Novak. "Nope, should I know why? " Silence. There it was, the first itch on my leg, indicating that the spider must have been placed. The second one came on my arm…
"Guys! Quit it I’m ticklish! " I shook my leg a little and I heard them snickering. Then the next spiders were placed. I liked spiders but the ticklish thing wasn’t a lie. So I sat up and looked at them. All with the Bam glint in their eyes, expecting me to freak out. Even the camera men were grinning. I picked up the two on my leg and placed one on my shoulder and started petting the other one. "Aww! Look! How cute! He’s smiling! " I held the spider out to them and saw them take a step back. I laughed and stood up. "Sorry, guys…not afraid of spiders, they´re cute! " With all the spiders on my arm I walked towards the bushes and set them down. I walked back to the house and stole a glance towards the guys, their mouths were hanging open wide. I couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Thank you so much! " April yelled when I cam back into the house. I laughed. "No biggie, I’m not afraid of spiders, why do they torment you like that? " She looked surprised. "Don’t you know honey? " I was confused. "What should I know? " "He has his own tv show, he’s a skateboarder" I thought for a minute. "Oh yeah! I saw one of his demo’s once! Didn’t realise it was him, nor that it was his mother I was working for.. " Okay, so I did know who he was, but that she was his mother was totally passing me by at first.. kind of dumb, now that I think about it… "So you’re a skater too? " She said with a smile. I couldn’t help but laugh. "Me? A skater? God no! I couldn’t skate if my life depended on it! I just love to watch it, they just seem so carefree and happy on their boards…" April sighed. "Yeah, carefree, that is Bam for you! " "Hey! I resent that" Came Bam’s voice from behind us. "I’m just happy! " April started responding and they got into an heated discussion. I took it as my que to leave and get back to my painting, Like this, it would take more than the time I took out for the job, way more… Stupid interruptions..
