Chapter 2- Hights and Frights.
"Well that movie sucked." Matt pronounced as our group excited the theater. I chuckled as I looped one of my arms through his and one through Connor's. We had just finished seeing "Made of Honor", a total chick flick.
"That’s just because you were a guy." I said to Matt comfortingly.
"WERE?" Oliver rang out as he caught up to our trio. "When was the sex change?!"
Matt turned deep red as he stuttered out an answer but Connor beat him to the punch. "Yesterday. Where have you been?"
Oliver punched an angry Matt in the arm, still protesting the "non-invite" situation. I threw back my head and laughed as I hopped in the driver's seat of my black convertible. Drumming my fingers against the steering wheel, I asked, "Where to?"
Matt finally spoke up from the back seat, mentioning a carnival near the movie theater. I jumped up and down excitedly as I hit the road. Driving about five minutes, I drew into a busy parking lot that joined the carnival site. Getting out and locking the car, I grabbed onto Connor's hand and went in line for the tickets. After purchasing the tickets from the really cute ticket guy, We entered the carnival. Immediately, Oliver and Matt went to the food stand, leaving me and Connor alone. Connor looked down at my black hair, {rememeber He is wayyyyyyy taller than me…}, and started playing with it. For some reason, this made me uncomfortable, {God knows why,} So I did the first thing that popped in my head.
"Hey lets go on that ride!" I said, pointing at a random ride. Pulling him forward, I hurridly gave the ticket guy my tickets and took a seat on the ride. It wasn't until Connor took a seat next to me and the ticket man locked us in, did I realize…..
This was a roller coaster
I started screaming even before the ride started. Unfortuately, the starting of the ride, drowned me out. I hate rollercoasters. They scare the crap out of me, and cause me to wake up in the night, screaming when I ride an exceptionally scary one. Connor, knowing this, grabbed my hand and dragged me into his chest. With my head buried there, I couldn’t see anything but I sure could feel it. When the ride finally stopped, Connor carried me out of the car and set me down on a nearby park bench that I finally stopped wimpering. I heard Matt and Oliver run up and ask what was wrong. It only took the word "rollercoaster" for them to understand. They enveloped me in a four person hug, with Oliver kissing me on the cheek. They helped me stand and led me to my car, forcing me to hand over the keys.
"Thanks." I gulped before laying down in the backseat, propped up against Matt. I think Connor sped all the way back to my house. Connor put the keys in my purse, and personally picked me up and carried me up into my room. Laying me down on the bed, He quickly kissed my cheek, covered me up and started out the door. Within seconds, I was asleep. But not for good…
