A.N : Finally ! After how many months I finally update. My only excuse is that my history class has to do projects for each country. So I wanted to wait to get a few actual Amazing Race ideas other than the pretty pathetic ones I was making up before. Enjoy !

Oh yeah, I will dedicate the next chapter to you if you can guess what Cameron I'm talking about. The only hit I'll give you is that he is in an upcoming band who has an album coming out in June.... :D

Game On!

Chapter 11: Tickets

No matter who told you what, I didn't really care. This game was not easy. Sure, it sounded like it, but I can assure you that it is not. Especially competing against people your age, it wasn't exactly the easiest.

I swear, what ever they were making us do before was easy as heck compared to what they had just told me right now. I guess you could say that those beginning challenges were just the baby steps to the real thing. It's like they kicked out all of the people who wouldn't have made it to the end for these next challenges.

In other words, this was where the show got good.

Real good.

This time, we were going out of the country. Finally! I have never been out of the United States before, so this was my chance to see beyond our boundaries. The same stuff got boring after seeing it over and over and over again. I mean, how many McDonald did the USA own? Geez.

But now we were going to Israel. That's pretty cool. But yet, we don't know what kind of challenge we will be met with once we get there. So in other words, I was kinda blind until they decided to fill us in on that piece of information.

For now though, we're stuck. We have to get a plane ride to Israel.

And it kinda sucked. Cause we not only had to get a plane ticket to Israel, we also had to try and beg for money from random people at this place.

The people running the game dropped us off at the nearest airport. We were in Newark, New Jersey. The first fifteen teams were given all the money that they needed to grab two tickets for the first plane ride over. And of course at our sixteenth place, we had to beg random people for money cause the game makers were just cruel like that.

How were Chad and I supposed to go up to random people and beg for money? That's just torture!

"Well, I could just pay for both of our tickets," Chad stated, breaking my thought rant. I eyed him, almost wanting to strangle him. I swear, if he hadn't tipped the boat we wouldn't be in this position!

"You know we can't do that," I bit back. "It's in the rules. They even warned us that if you use your own money you'll either be disqualified or held back for a fair amount of time. And either way, we'll lose."

He eyed me back with the same intensity that I had. But he couldn't match up. If we weren't in public, I would have screamed so loud that even his perfect blue eyes would turn grey. "Yeah well."

I stood their fuming as he glanced around the place. Families rushed by hurriedly, their little children trying to keep up as the parents maneuvered them through the crowd. Lonely men in work suits grabbed coffee to stay awake right before their who-knows-how-many-hours on a plane they had for work. Couples flirted. And other contestants like us were just as confused as we were.

What really shocked me that no one was staring at us. Or gaping. Or freaking out and such. Not to be conceded or anything, but we were kinda stars. I mean, I'm glad that no one was running up to me asking for autographs or pictures, but still.

I don't know. I guess I was just kinda used to it. I mean, there were bigger stars than I were here and no one seemed to care.

Maybe it was because we were live right now. Not many people wanted to look like fools on tv. Especially when it's being broadcasted to almost everywhere in the world…

"I'll get us out of this mess. I mean, my looks can get me anything. At least we only need a hundred dollars. We were lucky. Other teams that placed like almost to last have to find a way to pay for their whole ticket."

"Yeah yeah," I replied. Sure, I felt sorry for them. But then again, they weren't me and I was smart enough not to be in last. And after all, they were who I was competing against…

Before I could say anything, Chad had started walking forward to a girl who was on line to get a magazine. She had one of those 'Seventeen' magazines in her hands while she drank some type of smoothie thing. Her hair was a light red color and she was fairly pretty. Typical Chad.

She noticed him as he walked over, and smiled. I raised my eyebrow, folding my arms over my chest. Too bad there wasn't a chair around for me to sit and enjoy the movie. I do not think this was going to well…I don't know how I knew. I guess a girl-to-girl kinda thing. She most definitely had a boyfriend.

And if I was lucky, he would kick Chad's ass for me.

I wasn't exactly able to hear what he was saying to girl. But I think she said her name started with the letter E. Or maybe it was B…Either way, Chad looked like he was genuinely happy to talk to her and such. I gazed on with amusement, a smirk growing on my mouth. Off in the distance, I saw a guy looking a little pissed off with Chad.

Haha. Sucks for Chad.

To be honest, I should have went over and told him the truth. But then people would think that we would be dating and that would not be good. That's the last thing I wanted to hear.

The guy that looked pissed off wandered towards the girl and Chad and started saying stuff to him. I laughed out loud, getting weird looks from people passing by me. Some of the looks they gave were weirded out, other people acknowledged who I was. I could see them debating whether or not they should come up.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. Wondering who it could be, I turned around to look at a guy taller than me. Who was he? And why did he want to talk to me? Usually people like this weren't any good…

"Hey, I'm Cameron. I couldn't help overhear that you and Chad Dylan Cooper needed money?" The guy's voice was pleasant, and I couldn't help but notice that he was cute. Really cute.

"Oh hey! I'm Sonny."

"Oh I know that." He extended his hand, and I took it. "But like I was saying before, I couldn't but help overhear of you guys needing tickets. I've been watching the Celebrity Games so I figured that's why you two were out of luck."

I smiled back, shrugging. "Oh yeah. We were unfortunate to place further back where some of our privileges are taken away."

"That's too bad…You're lucky. I want to help you two out. How much do you need?" I couldn't help my mouth from dropping open in shock.

"Oh no, no." I'm pretty sure I replied a little too quickly, but I'm glad I did. "We're fine. Chad's trying to get some money. We don't need that much, but thank you for the offer."

We both snuck glances to my teammate. He and the guy were on better terms, but the boyfriend still looked uncomfortable. Chad looked up to meet my gaze and gazed back in confusement. I just smirked, my eyes twinkling. Whose good?!

I am! Well, I'm better than he is anyways.

Cameron laughed, his hands going into his pocket. He took out his wallet which made my stomach drop in embarrassment. "You and I both know that Cooper there isn't getting anywhere. Seriously, how much do you need?"

I shook my head in disagreement. "No really, it's okay. We'll go and harass some other celebrity or something. Or maybe some old rich guy that doesn't really need the money. It's okay."

As much as I needed that money, I wasn't going to take his. Taking money wasn't worth it if it was coming from a all around nice guy. I would much rather take it from someone who didn't really need it. Like I said before, someone who was wealthier didn't need the money as much. Cameron probably had girlfriend, or a car…or something more important than giving us more money.

"If you won't except the money, I'll just buy you guys the tickets." His voice was truthful. It was like music to my ears. I wonder if he could sing…

"But you don't know where we're going," I replied. I would do anything to keep this nice guy from buying tickets for us. "Really. Please don't buy them."

"Actually I do. I watch the show, remember? They show what you guys will be doing next time after every show. I honestly think we find out before you guys do. You're going to Israel, and the next flight is in about an hour."

He started walking away, looking for the nearest place to buy tickets. No! I swear, I would rather get kicked out of this contest than have him buy it for us. "No!"

"It's either I'll give you the amount of money you guys need or I will just buy the two tickets right now." Cameron was just too nice for his own good.

"I won't let you."

"Then you'll just lose the game."

"I'd rather lose."

"No we wouldn't." We both turned around to see Chad right next to us. How much of our conversation had he heard? "We would love to accept your offer."

I wanted to kick him! "No we wouldn't!"

Cameron chuckled. "Awe Miss Monroe, please just listen to him. I would be more than happy to give you guys the money."

I looked around. It was two against one. Two good looking guys and then me. I was definitely not going to win this bet. "But I feel bad if you pay for it."

"Get over it." They both said it simultaneously. It was kinda weird how they both did that.

Both of them took my arm and started leading me towards the nearest place that you bought the tickets from. I tried to reach around in the backpack for those stupid little plastic credit cards that the game people provided us with. But Chad had already gotten them out before I had.

People around me stared. Stared because there was nothing else to look at or because it was weird that two guys were pretty much pulling me across the room. But I'm pretty sure most of the gazes was because Chad was on one side and another guy was on the other side of me. Why did I think the tabloids were not gonna go well tomorrow?

From behind me, I heard a girl whisper something. I barely made out what she had said, but I really wished I didn't bother to listen in at all…

She said that Chad had some competition.

Hit or Miss?
