Just friends

The carnival

I wrap my arms around Jakes waist after putting on a helmet.

"Don't you have a helmet too?"I asked when he turns on the motorcycle.

"Yep. You're wearing it."

Before I could say anything else. He pushes the bike and the sound from it overpowers any other sound that could be happening.

My grip around him tightened when we turned corners because I never really rode one of these before.
I didn't realize how skinny Jake was but I could feel him. His shirt was so thin that this almost felt wrong.

It was a real thrill and I knew I was gunna have to get use to it.

When we reached the parking lot of the peer, I get off and put the helmet on the seat.

When Jake turns to look at me he laughs.

Did I have something on my face? I didn't say anything that could be funny.

"What?" I said annoyed when he wouldn't stop laughing.

"Y-your hair!" He burst out in between laughs.

It couldn't be that bad. I look at the mirror on his motorcycle and my eyes shot open. I look like Frankenstein's wife!!

I flip my hair and run my fingers through it making it loose again rather than stiff.

This is something I WILL NOT get use to. He better find a better helmet or he can find himself another girl.

I flipped my hair back up and it was back to its natural state of waviness.

Jake finally stopped laughing," Okay well I'm not sure if Bre or Dean are here yet so let's just go do something I guess."

We came here for them? I thought he legit wanted to spend time with me here. I guess we are starting this sooner than I thought.

I glared at Jake so he knew that I was aggravated since he didn't tell me the plan.

"What do I have to do if we do see them?"

We walked towards the ticket booth while we talked, "Leave it to me, all you gotta do is go with it and don't seem surprised when I do something that will.., well surprise you."

He winked at me and I hope he doesn't do anything to much. I never really had a serious boyfriend so I wouldn't know how things worked.

When we reached the ticket booth, the guy gave us two wrist bands. Jake paid of course since I didn't have any money. It was Saturday so everything was unlimited with a wrist band.

If we weren't in the circumstances we were in right now, you could seriously call this a date.

I followed Jake who seemed to know where he was going. I wonder if he's been here before and with who.

Everything about Jake made me curious now and I wanted to know more.

We stopped at our destination. The Ferris wheel. Oh no. I'm petrified of heights and this was the biggest Ferris wheel in the country.

"Jake. I can't ride this." I said serious as can be with a straight face staring at the top of the Ferris wheel.

He looked at me dumbfounded. " Why not? Don't tell me your scared of heights?" He said on the Verge of laughing.

I kept staring at the Ferris wheel.

"W-When I was 7, I rode one of these before. The hinges broke and the wheel started to roll. I could have died if it didn't stop before hitting the water. I was stuck at the top till the rescue squad had to get a helicopter to get me."

"That is the saddest funniest stories ever," I could feel his gaze on me.

Just then, he grabbed my wrist while I wasn't paying attention. He pulls me on the cart and locks me in next to him.

"No! Jake, don't do this to me. I can't." I couldn't move. Being in the seat made me think of when I was 7.
"Too late, we're moving now."

He was right, we started backwards and I scooted closer to Jake the higher we went and I griped the bar trying not to shake the cart.

I turned to Jake who was just smiling and looking at me.

"What are you thinking about?" I say with a scared expression still plastered to my face. I know he was getting delight from this.

"Kissing you." He said leaning in slowly.

I glared at him and scooted away.

" You do this to me and expect a kiss in return? No way pervert."

I tsk and look away from him forgetting that we were at the top for a few seconds till we stop. That's when I really freak out.

"Shit! What happened?? Are we stuck? Do you hear that!? I think it's the bolts coming un done!!" I wouldn't stop freaking out, even if it saved my life.

Jake was laughing his head off.

We started to move again. I hated the whole ride with this devil child.
