FALLING FOR MY RIVAL

Chapter 14:

"Okay...so Freen let's go for the ferris wheel" She pointed.

"No...you told me we would collectively decide." I protested.

"Then..what do you want?" She asked.

"Maybe...bumper car."

"What...no it's easy tell me something which is more challenging and fun, which boosts adrenaline."

"Ahh...."

"Freen... just tell me which one."

"Okay wait let me see first."

My eyes were travelling around to find a comfortable one but to my dismay there were none which could fit up to my expectations. I was unable to pick one and was growing anxious out of fear, while Becky was constantly nagging about it.

"Freen...okay you have taken enough time. Now just show me which one. Hurry up...."

"Come on...Freen pick one."

I was getting restless with this pressure and suddenly out of frustration, I just randomly pointed towards something without looking at it.

"Okay..fine this one." I pointed behind me while looking at Becky.

"Wow...Freen this one. Finally you chose the one I wanted the most."

She excitedly shouted making me quickly look back at the ride I picked. My jaws dropped and my eyes widened at my own choice.

"What..? Th..This one..." I stuttered.

"Yup...this one. Roller coaster...my favourite. Now let's go" She stated out of excitement while dragging me towards it.

My feet were not working and were hardly able to walk when I got the full view of that ride. Small beads of sweat started gathering around my forehead when I traced the deadly loops of the track. I was petrified enough that my legs were not supporting to get inside.

I followed Becky silently and can't protest anymore cause I was the one who picked it. Within a few seconds later, we found ourselves seated at our assigned seats. I was just praying in my mind while waiting for the ride to start.

"What...Freen you look nervous. Are you fine...you are sweating heavily." Becky asked worriedly.

"No...nothing how can I be nervous. It must be the weather I guess, it's too hot you know." I shrugged and acted like fanning myself.

We were just talking when suddenly the ride started making me startled. Initially it was slow, but few seconds later it started catching speed. My eyes were half shut and my hands were gripping around the handle bars in front. Soon it started moving up through the first loop and suddenly went down making my heart jump out.

With every passing second, the highs and lows of the track were scaring the hell out me, making me shiver uncontrollably. I can hear other riders screaming on top of their lungs out of anxiety while a few enjoying including Becky who sounds super excited. I am trying my best to hold till the ride ends but every second it is making me difficult to breathe properly.

My heart was racing so fast that it can come out any second while my head was spinning making me dizzy. I can see darkness surround my eyes making me slowly lose my hearing capacity.

"No...don't close it...open your eyes. Can you hear me." I heard a faint voice before my body collapsing.

I suddenly felt a jerk and thereafter someone embracing me within her arms. I was still feeling dizzy when I sensed a warm touch stroking my back lightly. The hug, the caresses all were making me very secure and comfortable. I was feeling something that I have never experienced before other than my mother but slightly different which was really new to me. With her every touch I could find myself slowly getting back to my senses. I was still half conscious when I felt her hands cup my cheeks and let out a melody for my ears to hear.

"Freen...are you okay. Don't close your eyes. I am here with you just wait a bit the ride will end soon." I heard her angelic voice making me regain my remaining consciousness.

I was still feeling slightly dizzy so I hugged her back and drowned my face into her shoulder. Throughout the whole ride I found her hugging and caressing me gently. Her soft touches, her sweet comforting voice were melting something inside me. I could never believe that the girl who always fought with me is wrapping her arms around to protect her rival.

After a while the ride ended and I didn't realize until Becky spoke again.

"Freen...are you alright now. See the ride ended. Come on look up."

As soon as I got my senses back, I quickly fixed myself and got out of the roller coaster cart. I then, walked fast out of the ride exit and went forward towards a random direction. I was walking quickly to avoid Becky and her words of mockery. But everything went out in vain, when she followed me while catching up with my pace.

"Freen...wait. What happened why you are walking so fast. Just wait for me." She came running in front of me.

"Why did you leave me alone there." She added.

"I thought you wanted another ride." I replied.

"No... I don't want ride anymore" She replied back.

"Why don't you want to ride anymore? You love these right..." I questioned.

"Yes...I love them but now I don't feel like riding. I want to do something else."

"And what do you want to do now?" I asked her again.

"Ah...yes. I want cotton candy." She pointed and ran towards the cotton candy stall positioned at the middle of the rides section.

I chuckled at her innocence and followed her. I was amused when I saw her behave like a baby. My corners of my lips stretched into a smile when I saw her looking and selecting for a cotton candy with sparkling eyes. She asked me about my preference but I rejected cause I rarely have a sweet tooth. She, then came towards me with her both hands occupied with two candy floss.

"Huh...two remember I told I don't want it." I asked.

"Yes...I know, in case you change your mind. And you still don't then I am there right." She replied.

"What...you will eat two. You know right it is not good to have too much sweets."

"I know that...but I can't eat anything other than sweets. And other foods are spicy for me." She replied.

I was astonished that she never mentioned anything about the ride or my condition there and now she is just enjoying her candy like a four year old. Her every action, her every gesture today are coming as a surprise to me.

I was watching her devouring the food when I found her making mess while eating and sticking the candy floss around the corners of her mouth.

"Messy eater..."

I chuckled and said in a low tone while reaching out to her mouth for cleaning the mess she has created around her lips.
