Jordan and the rest of the staff gathered in front of the large audience, and took turns introducing themselves to everyone. Jordan was the last of the staff to do their introductions.
"Hello everyone, my name is Jordan, I will be the emcee for today's event. I am also a waiter here at Mealz Wheelz so if you need any refreshments of any kind please ask either Brady here or myself. Before we get started please give a round of applause for the staff and volunteers who made this venue as amazing as it is." The crowd applauds as per their cues. "Now without further adieu, let's now begin the first of today's events, the press conference."
The crowd erupted in applause again as Colby made his way up to the table in front of the crowd. "Thank you all for coming today to witness this joyou an exciting event. As people may have already guessed, I am the person who is best known by the pen name GhostTown.Before we begin, I'd also like to call up my best friend and manager to help me answer some of these questions."
Tommy stands up and walks up beside Colby and faces the audience. "Pleasure to see so many wonderful faces here today. I know this event means a lot not only to GhostTown as the author of Simon Says or me as his manager but also to his family, friends and even the fans here today and watching from home. Thank you to the tv station for making that possible." The crowd once again applauds because of the speeches being made.
"Now let's have questions come in one at a time so that they're easier to answer." The reporters put their hands up, like children in class waiting to be called upon by the teacher.
"Why did you choose this venue?"
"Two of our mutual friends work here so we knew we would be satisfied with how the event would turn out." This question Tommy answered since he was the one who picked the venue.
"What gave you inspiration to write the Simon Says book series?"
"The Simon Says series is based on a true story, my story. It is the story of my relationships with some of my friends and how some of them didn't turn out the way I wanted them to. More analytical people may have already realized that the names of the characters are anagrams for real names. Tmoym is Tommy, Ybadr is Brady and Draojn is Jordan. The last two are the friends of ours who work here at the cafe."
"Will there be any more books added to the series?"
"In short, yes. There will be one last book to close the series.""
"Can we get any spoilers for the last book?"
"Nope, you all have to wait with all the rest of the fans."
The questions came and went one after another. Colby and Tommy answered the questions like they knew the answers to every question in the reporters' heads before they were asked. When the reporters were satisfied, the floor was open to fans and the question that stood out the most was, "Why now? Why after 2 years of being a published author, did you decide to hold this event now?"
Brady and Jordan paid special attention both paid special attention to this one because Colby and Tommy took turns answering.
"I want our friends to know the truth. I want our misunderstandings to end." Cobes said first.
"We have been preparing this event for quite some time, however to make it as extravagant as we wanted it, it took time to come into fruition."
"I want to see the people I've been missing.""
"And I wanted to meet those of his friends I haven't met till now." But the answer to the question led to an even bigger question.
"Are you two dating?"
The two boys looked at each other and laughed. "No, we are not dating, we've just been best friends for years."
"Plus I like someone else." Tommy added.
"Can we meet the person you like?" Brenna asked her brother.
"Let me text them and ask if that's okay with them.""
Jordan was in the kitchen getting the boys another round of drinks when he got a text from Tommy asking if he could introduce Jordan to the public as his crush.
Jordan replied with a text asking if it was for the plan or something else. So Tommy asked if it mattered.
"Not really, I was just curious. But why not, either way it'll probably help with the plan." Jordan walked out with their drinks and sat them down on the table but when he turned everyone thought he was turning to walk away but instead he put his hand on Tommy's shoulder and nodded.
