kay, thanks for all the comments. here's the next chapter.
The line was pretty short so we were in the ride in no time. We screamed and had fun in the beginning then when we thought the camera was coming up we went into our positions, me sleeping and the guys making faces at me. We were fine then all of a sudden something bumped the ride. Nick’s hands flew and he hit me on my shoulder farthest away from him with one hand. My hands also flew out of position and I accidentally hit him in the leg and our heads also collided with each other. It really hurt and just at that moment we saw a flash.
Great, I thought, the picture’s ruined. I rubbed my head and apologized to Nick while he apologized to me for hitting each other. Then we got out of the ride.
“Well, the picture’s probably ruined, wanna try it again?” I asked.
“Sure, but let’s see this one first, it’s gotta be somewhat funny.” Kevin suggested.
I nodded my agreement and we headed over to the picture booth. I searched and finally I found it. I immediately started laughing really loud and Joe and Kevin joined in, Nick chuckled too but he mostly just blushed. It was funnier than I imagined. Instead of looking like we just got bumped it looked like Nick and I were in a couple’s embrace. His arm around my shoulder my hands on his leg and our heads next to each other. The shocked expression on our faces didn’t look like they were caused by pain it looked like we were just shocked by Kevin and Joe, who were still making scary faces.
“Wow,” I managed to say between my laughter. “I didn’t expect that. It’s hilarious. I wish I could keep it.”
“Yeah, why don’t you just buy one?” Joe questioned.
“Probably ‘cause she doesn’t want anyone to think that her and the curly haired freak are an item.” Kevin teased.
“No,” I said as I blushed. “I don’t have any money.”
“Oh, okay, well I’m gonna buy a picture and I’ll meet you guys at that bench.” Kevin replied as he pointed to a bench a little ways away.
We nodded and set off to the bench. When we got there I sat down on the bench while Joe and Nick stood near me. “What time is it?” I questioned.
“Lemme check.” Joe pulled out his phone. “It’s 3:30. Is that bad?”
“No,” I laughed. “It just means I have to call my mom in a half an hour.”
Kevin walked up to us right after I said that and then Joe’s stomach rumbled. It was unanimous we all decided it was time for some lunch. We searched the park until we found a place we’d all like. It was pretty retro and had really good fries. Joe kept playing with his food and making me laugh. At one point he made me laugh right when I was taking a drink of water and I accidentally choked on the water and spit it all out. Joe thought that was hilarious, but no one else did. So he was banned from telling any jokes while I was drinking.
When we finished eating Kevin paid for the food. I told him he didn’t have to because I had money for my own lunch, but he insisted. The thing was I’m pretty stubborn too so we might have stood there all day arguing over who would pay for my lunch if it weren’t for Nick who kindly stepped in and told me that I could repay Kevin later. And Kevin was just being nice. I relented and let him pay.
It was a little after 4:00 when we finished so I called my mom.
“Hey, Mom.” I said.
“Hello,” she replied.
“Well, you told me to call you at four so I am. And I was just wondering if I could stay for a concert. It’s at 6:00”
“Sure honey we’re gonna be here for as long as possible. It’s not often we get to go to amusement parks. Just make sure you call me when it’s done so we can meet up and go home.”
“Ok, Mom. See you tonight.”
“Yeah, see you. Bye!” my Mom replied.
“Love ya, bye!” I said as I hung up the phone.
“So I guess I can hang out with you guys even longer if you want. And my mom just said I can stay for the concert.” I told Joe, Kevin, and Nick.
“Cool!” Joe replied. “Let’s go on more rides!”
“Hey, we just ate. Why don’t we take it easy.” Kevin said.
“Yeah, let’s go on the Ferris Wheel.” I suggested.
(hmmm, wonder what happens on the ferris wheel. lol
)
