"Me" he said and my heart stopped for a second. I guess you know who that is. Tristan. Okay, it's just a gift. A random one. Okay.
"Oh, right." I said and then asked Adam and Carla, "Whom did you two get?"
"I got Tristan, that means, Carla got me." Adam said.
"I'll go first. Here you go Adam!!" Carla said and unwrapped the mystery box. Inside it was a cute sloth keychain. Hope I get something like that. Adam went next. He unboxed the gift box and revealed a keychain that had a little photo frame attached to it and gave it to Tristan. He smiled like an idiot looking at it. Even I had to admit that he looked cute with his crooked smile.
I wondered which photo would even fit inside it. I volunteered to go next. I opened the box and inside it was a pencil with three fluffy feathers attached to the back of it.
"Awww, it's so cute!! I love it!" Carla said. There was only one person left. Tristan slowly opened the box and first, I couldn't see anything but crumpled paper inside it. But as he removed the papers, there it was! The most beautiful charm bracelet I had ever seen. It had small golden links. It also had a leaf, a locked heart, a flower and an open heart. I blinked several times and then said, "That is the most beautiful bracelet ever made." He smiled and moved forward. Towards me!! He took my wrist in his hand and tied the bracelet to it. His skin was so soft and warm that I didn't even feel his hand on mine. I took a closer look and the intricate designs were so nice.
"I am jealous now." Carla said with a giggle. I giggled and said, "All our tickets are used up, right?" Everyone nodded and I continued, "Well, then our time in the Treacherous Waters is over. Let's get home."
"I can't believe it's 4 now. It seems like we came here just minutes ago." Carla said as she shook her head. But what she said was true. We started to walk towards the car when Mrs.Thompson said she had to use the restroom. I stood outside leaning on the wall. Tristan approached me.
"Is everything okay? You seemed a little off after the merry-go-round." he said while focusing his graze on the ground. After the water rides, we changed back to our original outfits. He wore a blue checkered shirt and a pair of jeans. He looked so good in it.
"Ya everything's fine. I just.... yeah. Nothing." I whispered.
"Okay, but I'm still sorry for what I did." he said and walked towards the car. Didn't want to hear my reply, I guess. After everyone came out, we headed to the car. Tristan was standing near the car. As Mrs.Thompson unlocked it, I wasn't sure where to sit. So I decided to wait and see where Tristan sat. But he didn't. We both were waiting for the other to sit. Everyone except us was inside the car. There were two spots left. The same ones Tristan and I sat while coming. Next to each other. Great!! I sat beside Carla and Tristan sat beside me. You know how a journey is. I decided not to sleep and do something like I did while coming. But Carla, Adam and Tristan drifted off to sleep. I was more than bored. Mrs.Thompson asked me to sleep and I did.
A familiar voice woke me up. I was again leaning on someone's shoulder. No no please not Tristan. It wasn't!!! I was leaning on Carla. But the voice that woke me belonged to Tristan. I woke up with a little jerk.
"Hey there! Took me a long time to wake you up." he said. I looked around and everyone except me and Carla were out of the car. I shook Carla awake and we climbed out of the car. We were in front of Carla's house. I yawned and said, "Nice trip!! Thank you Mrs.Thompson, for everything. I'll walk home from here."
"Uh-huh. We spent quality time together after a very very long time." Adam said and me and Carla, chorused a "Yes!"
"But before we part, I think we should take a selfie." Carla said.
"Okay." said Tristan before anyone could say anything. We gathered together and I had to stand next to you know who. Right before Carla clicked the picture, Tristan threw his hand around my shoulder and that made me give a natural smile. A natural smile? Till now I was uncomfortable even seeing him. What's going on with me? God. I bid goodbyes to everyone and started walking. To my surprise, Tristan wasn't tagging along with me. We had to walk on the same path till the junction. Moreover, I was relieved.
