not from here - mid90s

five.

Neon lights flashing, people laughing and screaming and the smell of popcorn and cotton candy. Isabella had been looking forward to the carnival. Estee had told her just how fun it was so how could Isabella not be excited?

"Come on guys, I wanna go now!" She told the boys as they all sat around the TV at motors.
Isabella and the boys had decided to pregame at motors to get into the spirit.

"Alright, let's go." Ray replied and everyone got up.

It wasn't a far walk but of course the boys brought their boards and skated their way down. Isabella fell behind and Fuckshit made her company. She walked slowly, really feeling tipsy after drinking.

"So what are we startin' with ma? Bumper cars? Roller coaster? Chocolate wheel?" 

"We gotta start with the easy rides first and work our way up. So I would say bumper cars."

"Don't you worry, I'll hold your hand when you get scared shawty." He winked at her and she nudged the side of his arm with her elbow.

"Don't act all tough, I know you'll scream like a little girl." she teased. Ever since they first met, Fuckshit had always been flirting with her and now she went along with it. Nothing had happened between them beyond that though.

"Guys! Bumper cars first." Isa yelled at the rest of the boys.

They all took seats in a car each and soon the game began. She expected Ray and Fuckshit to be competitive but she was surprised when Stevie bumped into her from the side.

"What! Stevie!" She yelled out, surprised. The boy just giggled and drove off to go after ruben. Isabella looked around to see where she was going and saw the opportunity to get Fuckshit. Eagerly she drove forward but he saw her at the last second and dodged it.

"Too slow ma!" The familiar smug smile appeared on his lips. 

"Dammit..." She mumbled underneath her breath and before she knew it, Fuckshit had turned around and bumped into her from behind.

"Really? From behind? That's a low blow." 

"Oh, I like hitting from behind." He teased and she rolled her eyes. She should've seen that one coming.

After the bumper cars the boys wanted to buy snacks but Isa wanted to tackle the next ride.

"Me and Fuckshit are gonna go for the rollercoaster. Anyone else up for it?"

"Nah, those loops and things always make me throw up." Ray responded.

"Weak!" Fuckshit yelled out. The rest of the boys just shook their heads no.

"Your loss, see you guys after."

The two of them made their way to the rollercoaster, the line wasn't too bad. Fuckshit came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her as they waited. She didn't stop him. Isabella could feel her heart beat a little faster but she liked it, she liked having him close. Even though many had warned her about him being a player, she ignored it. She couldn't help but wonder if he ever thought about her in a different way. Isabella had tried hard pushing those thoughts away though. But still, when he looked at her like only he could... the butterflies started moving in her stomach.

"You look great tonight ma." He let go of her and she turned around to face him.

"You don't look too bad yourself." Gaze was locked on each other and everything else just disappeared around them for a moment. He smiled and she could feel herself moving closer to him. He looked down at her lips. Closer and closer they moved towards each other.

"Next two!" And suddenly the moment was over and they were the next ones in line. She just grinned and took his hand to drag him forward. 

"Damn... what a tease." He mumbled underneath his breath. They took their seats and buckled in. 

"You ready?"

"I was born ready." She replied and then they set off. Isabella really thought she would get some screams from him but it seemed like he was enjoying it. Far more than she was. When they entered the loop, she took his hand and squeezed it. She couldn't help but to scream, having to close her eyes until they were out of the loop. The adrenaline was still rushing through her body as they stepped off the ride.

"Okay fine. you were right. I got scared."

"You act tough but you a lil softie on the inside." Fuckshit replied with a grin.

"Isa!" She turned when she heard her name and saw Estee standing over by the funhouse. she waved and then turned back to Fuckshit.

"I'll find you later, okay?" 

"Alright ma. Don't forget we doin' the ferris wheel later." She nodded with a smile. Isa made her way over to Estee who stood there sipping on a slushie.

"Wanna go sit down for a while? I'm still shaky from that fucking ride." Isabella said and Estee nodded as they went and sat down at one of the benches.

"The girls will be late, they said it was a fashion emergency."

"Of course it was, isn't it always?" Isabella replied with a laugh.

"Zoe couldn't find her purse and Teresa needed to help Angela find the perfect outfit so she could show off in front of Fuckshit tonight." It was like Isabella's brain couldn't fully understand what Estee was saying.

"Fuckshit?" Was all she could get out.

"Yeah, they've been sleeping together for weeks now. I thought I told you?" No one had told her about Angela and Fuckshit. She hadn't had one on one time with Estee in a while and none of the boys had told her about it either. Maybe she would have seen it if she hadn't been swooned by him.

"Uh... No I didn't. Good for them." She had to act like it was fine, like her heart just hadn't sunk in her chest.

It seemed like Estee didn't notice as she kept on talking without stopping. Everything around them just faded and she started to feel her heart beat faster. Suddenly she heard the rest of the girls approach them. Isabella couldn't help but to see how beautiful Angela looked, no wonder Fuckshit wanted her.

"I uh... have to go. I'm gonna go buy some snacks, I'll come find you in a bit?" She quickly said before getting up. Isabella had started walking away before Estee could even get the chance to say something. She just walked forward without any destination in mind, just wanting to get away. Everyone was right, he was playing games and it didn't matter that they were friends. He probably saw her as an easy target, an easy fuck. She felt angry and then she saw Ray, she came up to him and shoved at his chest.

"I thought we were fucking friends? Why didn't you tell me?" She had never really said it out loud but Ray knew that she was interested in fuckshit. He knew. He had been one of those who had warned her about getting feelings involved but still Ray hadn't said anything about Fuckshit sleeping with Angela.

"What? We're friends, the fuck you talking about?" Ray replied, confused.

"How long has he been fucking Angela?" He was silent for a moment, trying to find the right words. If she would have been sober, she would've never been so confrontational.

"I thought it was better if you didn't know." She scoffed before she felt an arm wrap around her body.

"You ready for the ferris wheel ma?" Fuckshit said, oblivious to what was going on. She moved away from him, letting his arm fall back down.

"What's up with you?" 

"Nothing. I'm going home."

Isabella glanced over at Ray quickly before she turned around and started walking away. Fuckshit looked at his friend, still confused about what was going on.

"Isabella! Wait up!"
