The Story Of Us

6-Carnival

I was sad and somewhat depressed about what happened at the party on Friday night, so to get my mind off of things Ross decided to take me to a carnival today, since we had spring break for the next two weeks.It had only been 2 days since the party and Emma still hadn't apologized to me, and I decided that I had to be okay with that.

It was 3:00 pm and I was just sitting on my bed watching reruns of 'Drake and Josh'. Ross was taking me at 4:00 so I decided that I should start getting myself ready.I got up and went into my bathroom started to apply simple and light makeup.I actually hated putting on makeup,
because i thought it was a waste of time,
especially since Ross doesn't really care about how 'pretty' I am.I then got up and started rummaging through my closet trying to find some casual clothing.I found a black shirt and a comfy sweater and put that on, along with some ripped jeans.I checked my phone and saw that it was 3:54 so I headed downstairs and tried finding my shoes.I put on my converse and put my hair in a high ponytail.

I was sitting on the kitchen counter, waiting for Ross to come.I heard the doorbell ring and I hopped of the counter and answered the door.

"Hey gorgeous." He greeted me with a smirk on his face.

"Hey Ross." I respond

I roll my eyes jokingly at his comment.He was always reminding me how beautiful I was even when I didn't feel like it, or how smart I was when I felt like the biggest idiot in the world.He just wanted me to be happy, which felt amazing.We walked to his car and headed to the carnival.

It was about 4:30 and we had just walked into the amusement park, I saw the cotton candy and my eyes went wide, I gasped and turned my head to look at Ross.He shook his head and chuckled.

I looked at him with a hopeful smile "Please?"

"Let's go" He grabbed my hand and he bought me a cotton candy.It was so pink and fluffy, it had to be one of my favorite carnival snacks.

"Thank you." I thanked him while stuffing another piece of cotton candy in my mouth.

"No problem" He responded while taking a piece of my cottony candy.I was glad to share it with him, after all he did buy me it and he was the one who brought me here.

It had been about an hour of walking around and we decided to go into the mirror maze.There were two paths that you could take to get to the finish line that led to this big ball pit.Ross
wanted us to race each other to see who would make it to the ball pit first and since we are both competitive I accepted his challenge.The man at the starting line was very kind and he blew the whistle signaling us to race.We both ran in to the maze.Of course I ran straight into the wall... it's almost as if I could hear Ross laughing from the other maze lane.

I was stuck in the maze for about 12 minutes and I could not find a way out.I got a text from Ross asking where I was and I told him that I needed "assistance" with getting out of the maze.About 5 minutes later I saw a guy that I assume was about 17 or 18 years old.He had a black shirt on with some dark jeans, he had black curly hair and a innocent face.He wasn't a 'hot jock', but he looked like a sweet guy.

"Hello? Is Laura in here?" He called out

How did he know my name?

"Umm, I'm over here" I shouted, loud enough for him to hear.

He somehow managed to find me sitting on the floor, with my back against one of the mirrors.
He reached for my hand and I hesitantly lifted it up to him.He grabbed it gently and helped me up. He gave me a shy smile and I smiled back.

"Thank you."

"No problem, it's my job" He responded

"So how'd you know to come find me?" I asked after a few moments of silence
