Melanie's POV
4 long weeks of school passed and now we are left with stress of SATS and piles of exams. I'm sitting across from Shawn at Lenny's trying to figure out why I can't be perfect in every subject.
"Who buys like 70 freaking pineapples and then we have to divide them into ratios of whatever I don't even know what I'm talking about.. Freaking real world problems are figuring out if you can eat the next day" Of course Shawn would say something like that.
"Let's go somewhere... Else" I suggested
"Like we haven't been to every place in Canada before"
"Let's just drive then"
"Fine" Shawn and I gathered out things causing unwanted attention, we quickly left the shop and got in his car. There was still snow on the ground and sadness in the air but with him it was a paradise. Shawn had placed his hand on my thigh, giving full attention to the road. My cheeks lit red and I began to worry. Maybe he's pulling a move. What do girls do when this happens.. Google it? No. Grab his hand. My mind told me. I laughed at myself in my head.
I placed my hand on top of his. I see him hide a smile from the corner of my eye. He starts to tickle my side as he still paid attention on the rode.
"You can't tickle the driver" he teased as I completely lost it in the passenger seat.
"Shawn please stop" I begged as I was running out of breath. I held his hand tightly and placed it on the console in between us. Spring in Canada is like if Winter had a bipolar disorder.
Headed a stop in a small neighborhood with land as far as the eye can see. We jumped out. The weather was a couple degrees warmer and the grass was wet and uncovered with snow. We soon reached some fairground with an underrated theme park. It looked old and un-used.
"Smells awful" Shawn gagged.
"Come over here" I waved at Shawn I was standing on a pile of metal. I lead him inside a tent. There stood un lit wax candles and there were Polaroids on the ground.
"I have some matches in my car" Shawn shrugged
"Can you get them please?" I asked
"Mhm" I see Shawn run back to his car at the corner of my eye. I begin to explore farther to see a swing set and a deer. Ever since I was little I always dreamed of touching a deer or even getting close to the deer. I focus all of my attention on to the deer and slowly approach it. It stood still eying me.
I was about 4 feet away from the deer now and I have so devoted hear small moments of life approaching an animal I have admired for a long time. I feel my body jump and my heart race increase.
"AGAHGHHHH" I screamed at the top of my lungs as Shawn jumped behind me screaming like a Maniac. I see the deer run away swiftly. I smack Shawn shoulder angrily.
"Jerk. You always scare me" I pouted.
"Come on let's get back into the tent I brung a blanket"
"What are we gonna do? Take a nap?" I laughed
"Spend the night?"
"Are you it of your mind? What if a snake comes or a maniac like you decided to murder us... Haven't you seen American horror story?!" I flipped out
"Come on it would be a cool story to tell."
"This place is freaking creepy. And that hole looks like a place where dead bodies are" I turned to my right to see a hole with a broken door. Keep in mind the town is now pretty far away. We were like two stray kids wondering off a sidewalk.
Shawn took my hand and dragged me into the "hole". I scream, kicked, and practically begged him to put me down. I closed my eyes tightly. He wrapped his arm around me.
"Nothing's going to happen I got you" he laughed. He lit the match to show an isolated room full of mannequins.
"See, nothing" he laughed.
"I'm getting out of here because you are crazy" I ran out of the entrance laughing. A took a whiff of the fresh air but it was ruined by the foul smell coming from a garbage can. I strayed far form the trash can and went back to the tent. Shawn soon followed me back lighting candles. We discovered Polaroid pictures of a girl and a boy. They weren't you're tumblr high quality Polaroids, they were the real deals I see the black cotton blanket laying on the ground.
"Are you seriously planning to spend the night here?" I ask Shawn.
"Yeah I thought it'd be-- uh ha know romantic" I laughed ignorantly at the comment. Shawn was socially awkward, sorry Shawn is socially awkward.
"Totally" I tried to hold my laughs in.
"You told me to drive, and I did" he chuckled slightly.
"I better call my dad before he flips his shit" I pulled out my phone and called him.
"Lana where are you?" He instantly picked up.
"I'm" I paused and liked to Shawn
"Spending the night with my friend" at least I wasn't lying
"Oh. Okay did you do your laundry?" He asked
"Dad" I laughed
"Yes!" I said after a long pause
"Okay call me in the morning" I hung up not wanting to end with an awkward "bye".
"This looks like something you found out of a garbage can" I looked at he small setup we had.
"Hey, would you rather be in a. High class hotel with fluffy beds and free food?"
"Uh.... yeah!"
"Well too bad" he laughed. I laid down on the blanket and Shawn followed.
I take out my phone once again and start to text Vivi letting her know what's going on.
"Who ya' texting?" He asked then wrapped his arm around my side.
"Barney the Dinosaur" I laughed as I clicked my phone off. I gave him a kiss on the lips. He smiled then kissed my lips. The daily reminder of his lips would always make me smile. I didn't know sleeping on the floor, in an isolated amusement park, inside a red and white tent could be so romantic. It was almost funny.
