The Pact

Chapter Seventeen: They're worse than the plague

"I've come to the conclusion that I'm never having children." I said, slightly pulling down my blue Rayban aviators and examining the children running and screaming before me.

We had just been checked through and were standing in the middle of Main Street and as much as I love Disney, I hated kids.

"Oh come on, you won't even notice them once we're having fun." Aaron said, wrapping an arm around me.

I let him lead me further into the park and ran a hand over the top of my hair which was held high in a ponytail.

"Aaron, they're literally everywhere. They're worse than the plague."

"That's the spirit!" Paxton said sarcastically. "Now stop pouting and let's go. Space Mountain awaits!"

Paxton's mood brought a smile to my lips. He looked genuinely happy and that was a rare thing lately.

"Come on, princess. Let's speed it up. Don't tell me you're afraid of roller coasters." Aaron goaded me as we passed Sleeping Beauty's castle.

"Please, you think I'm scared of a little roller coaster?"

"I guess we'll just have to find out and see." He said, grabbing my hand and interlocking our fingers.

"Please, this girl is an adrenaline junky." Madison scoffed.

"You're kidding?"

"I remember when we were younger she was always the first to climb up high places like she's a f.ucking monkey and all this shit. It was ridiculous." Flynn added.

"Pussy." I coughed.

"Sorry we wanted to keep our legs intact." Paxton said, turning around and walking backwards as we made it into Tomorrowland.

"OH Buzz Lightyear! We're going on that next." Madison said excitedly.

I smiled, shaking my head at how we were in Disneyland as if we were nine-years-old. It felt good to be a high school graduate and about to become someone bigger and better than who we already were. We were maturing. I'm not sure how that's possible in my group of friends, but we were maturing... or so I thought.

"You better eat that right now. I paid thirteen bucks for that." Aaron said as he handed me my tray.

I laughed, looking at the ridiculously priced meal before me. "I told you I was fine just snacking on something."

He stared at me, a slight scowl on his face. "I'm not letting you starve, eat." He sighed, digging into his own burger.

He had a black snapback perched perfectly on his head and I couldn't help but admire how he looked. His hair was a little overgrown so you could see his wavy hair getting curlier at the back of his neck.

Madison and Flynn we're bickering behind Paxton who had a pissed off look on his face.

I snickered and popped my fry into my mouth.

"Don't say it."

"I didn't say anything." I said innocently.

"You were thinking it."

"You can't get mad at me for that, now can you?" I asked, cocking my head to the side.

"I can and I will. F.uck you."

I threw my head back in laughter at Paxton's misery and Aaron could only chuckle at the literal pout on Paxton's lips.

"You wanted all of us to come to Disney. You knew better." He said, waving a fry in the air.
