"Hello, Good afternoon, welcome to the Ferriswheels. Please chose which ride you would prefer to take", I gestured behind me to the arrangement of kiddie rides and ferris wheels all set up with pretty glowing lights. I didn't even glance at my customer because the only thing on my mind right now was going home and taking a nice long bath followed by icecream and a movie under my warm comforter. Just thinking about it made me want my shift to finish even quicker.
"Why hello gorgeous. How bout I take YOU for a ride" a gruff voice sounded in front of me. I looked up and was met with two pairs of black eyes along with a fat nose and a pedophil-ish kinda smile. Is this guy for real? He could practically pass for my gym teacher who by the way was thrice my age or even older. For crying out loud, I was only seventeen! I mean, everything about this guy spelled pedophile with a capital P . He had the look and everything with his bushy beard and crooked,yellow teeth to his disgustingly hairy moustache and his round potbelly that was so big that his pants couldn't even button probably and OH MY GOSH! The dude's zipper was down! I don't even want to know what he was doing before he came here.
"Uhhhh....." came my retarded response. Well, you couldn't blame me. What was a girl supposed to respond to that. Glancing behind him I realized two things: 1) There was no one in the line and 2) There were practically no more people in the fair meaning that the fair grounds were almost completely empty except for the people who owned the stalls . So by the problem produced in my mind: a seventeen year old girl plus a fifty something year old man plus an almost deserted fair at 10 o'clock on Saturday night is equal to a dead seventeen year old girl found by helicopters naked in a faraway canefield. It was like I was in school right now cause all I could think of at that moment was math problems and multiple choice english questions. If a girl is alone with a mysterious stranger at night. What would be the most logical thing to do? a) scream for help b) panic c)perform some martial arts moves learned from hours of useless television or d) all of the above?
It was like I suddenly remebered all of the school lessons I had this week cause suddenly I remembered our Physical Education teacher saying something about the flight or flight system kicking in when danger was near. What was it? Right, he said you would have an adrenaline rush.Crazily enough, we got a quiz yesterday asking about that and I for the love of me just couldn't get the answer but oh well. Desperate time calls for desperate measures. So, how do I propose to use this newly remembered information? Simple, really. I have a choice to fight or flight . It was like in my head I suddenly pictured a brawl in Pokemon with Ash saying,'Flight I choose you!'
I am usually a courageous girl in certain situations and if the guy was a tad bit younger like i don't know, around my age or something, I would kick him where the sun couldn't care to shine but that's not the case now. At all. Pshh, yeah like I would fight this pedophile? Please...aint nobody got time for that!
Deciding to finally take action, I rest my arm on the pedophile's shoulder and unexpectedly pushed him out of the way. To say he was shocked would be an understatement. His face was priceless. All this time while I was having this long debate in my head, I didn't for one second cease to notice the stagnant pedophil-ish grin on his greasy face that was starting to creep me out. But then again this creeping out began from the first and only sentence rather question he spoke to me. I also, noticed his not so subtle gaze that was slowly stretching itself along the length of my body practically invading my privacy. And I am certain that he was not for the least trying to hide the fact that he was thinking dirty thoughts about me neither was he expecting my ninja-like move. If this situation wasn't so serious I swear I would have an ol' knee-slapping cackle while rolling on the floor.
As soon as I pushed him he stumbled for second but that was all the time I needed. I quickly dashed across the fair grounds, through the parking lot and into my car. I didn't even bother telling my boss I was leaving early neither was I taking the chance of looking back because I was pretty sure that if I did, my heart would have jumped out my chest. I fumbled with my car keys for a minute and as soon as it was placed in the ignition, I reeved it up and backed out of the driveway. I was quite aware of the loud ' BUP' sound I heard like someone was hit but I for the life of me couldn't care less. I hastily sped out of the driveway onto the busy highway.
A/N: Soooo...this is my first time actually putting all my crazy ideas into action. I have no experience what soever with writing books and what not so please feel free to comment and tell me what you think. I would gladly take everything into consideration.:D
