The ride makes a rumbling noise and begins to swing in the air. My stomach drops at how fast the ride is spinning. A scream escapes me when it swings rapidly in the air and I instinctively grab on to Lane. He holds me close, and we both laugh as the ride spins. I laugh so hard every time the ride swings and changes directions, tickling my stomach.
He holds me close until the ride stops and I’m smiling. It feels like the pressure has been lifted off my chest, and I have a reason to smile and laugh again.
Even if it’s for a moment and it quickly fades.
“That was awesome,” Exie says excitedly as she walks down the steps. “Come on, Aura.” She grabs my hand and tugs me forward until we get to the next one and the next.
I don’t have to ride with Lane again, but he stands right behind me and always makes sure we are secured in every ride like we are children.
When we can’t take it anymore, we head to finally get food but Exie stops in front of a carnival game where the prizes are these oversized bears. The type of bears that hardly fit inside your car.
“Those are huge,” I tell her.
Exie’s eyes light up. “I know. I want one. You should try to get one too, Aura.”
“I don’t know. It looks kinda hard.”
You have to throw the loop into the center bottle like a frisbee to get the main prize. I see numerous people in line and watch the ones that are trying to throw the loop missing every time.
It looks easy but it is not that easy to get to around the neck of the glass bottles all lined up. I would really love to win one of the bears though. I have never had one that big before. What I love most, is the feeling of winning more than the actual bear. The act of someone you really like trying to win you one.
Lane and Blaze leave us waiting in the line to go get some food. Dex is looking at everyone trying to throw the ring when I hear someone giggling in the next line on the other side.
When I look up, it’s Sarah whispering to Wendy, covering her lips. Wendy is looking over and it’s obvious that they are talking about Exie and me.
“Damn,” I mutter.
Exie looks up at me and then she sees what has me muttering to myself. My heart beats like a rapid knocking on a door when Kalum, Brian, and Cason come into view. Sarah is still whispering to Wendy, and they begin to openly laugh.
“I think we should go. We could come back,” I say softly to Exie.
The light in Exie’s eyes dims when she spots Brian with his hands around Wendy’s waist. Sarah turns around and wraps her arms around Kalum.
“You are so good at this, Kalum. You know how I love to reward you after you get me stuff,” she purrs.
He nods but doesn’t say anything. I know she is doing it on purpose. She loves to show people she is with Kalum. Kalum looks like every girl’s fantasy of a high school boyfriend with a body that makes any woman go weak in the knees. Girls give him side glances when Sarah isn’t looking at how attractive he looks in a simple blue hoodie and jeans.
Sarah brushes her ass against Kalum seductively and leans her blonde head against his chest.
Kalum, Brian, and Cason haven’t noticed us, but as the lines get shorter and we get closer. I grip Exie’s wrist. “Come on. Let’s get going,” I say softly.
It’s too late. Sarah sneers at us when we are about to leave. “Oh, look. It’s the maid and her sidekick. I’m surprised Kalum’s parents give you time off from cleaning toilets.”
Kalum’s head snaps up, and he takes a step back from Sarah. He is surprised to see me and realizes I have been standing in line the whole time. Brian and Cason glance at Exie and me, lowering their gaze.
“Let it go, Sarah,” Brian warns.
Exie’s fist clenches and she curls her lip. “I guess Saturdays are Kalum’s.” Exie makes a motion like she is looking behind them. “Gee, Sarah. Where’s Jimmy?” Exie places her hand over her mouth. “Whoops, did I say that out loud.”
Sarah’s eyes almost bug out of her head. “You stupid bitch.”
Kalum, Brian, and Cason raise their brows. Sarah’s expression looks murderous.
“Don’t call her that,” I snap. “Everyone waiting in line has had to hear you, and you’re annoying and you just don’t shut the hell up.”
I’m surprised I’m being mean, but she is obnoxious. She is mean to everyone and is a total bitch. I can’t blame Exie for putting her business out like that but there is so much a person can take. Kalum tries to hide his grin and scratches his cheek with his index finger.
“You’re just a jealous broke bitch that has a future in cleaning other people’s piss on their toilet. I dirty my man’s underwear. You just clean them when I’m finished,” she spits.
