Chapter 9

I hope I'm not too late... I got up early, took a shower, dressed nicely, and tried to leave my own home. Sadly for me... I just had to eat that... ugh... breakfast Noel cooked up. I wish she hadn't forced me to eat it. It didn't feel to good going down my throat. The taste... I don't want to think about it. I'm just glad the maid will cook from now on. How did guy1 and guy2 eat it anyway? They must have iron stomachs...

Why am I thinking about that? I have to hurry up and meet Mar at the amusement park!

I rushed through the sidewalks and over a few streets until I made it to the front gates of the amusement park.

*pant*

I feel like I'm going to pass out...

*pant*

I ran a little too hard with that slosh I had for breakfast in my stomach.

I looked around for Mar. Wonder where she is? I hope she didn't leave...

I noticed a trash can move near the park's entrance. Two holes in the side for a pair of binoculars to fit through. I think I can guess who that is...

A random person walked by and threw a plastic soda bottle inside. A few seconds later it was thrown back out. The person picked it up and tried to throw it again. Guy1 popped out from out of it, grabbed the bottle and threw it into the recycling bin next to him. Before he slid back in and left the poor guy in confusion. Yep. It was one of them... but where is the other one...?

"H-hey Joseph... I'm sorry I'm late..."

I turned around to see Mar. She has a light brown sweater on, but no beanie. Her hair gently flowed over her eyes. She looks good.

Wait... did she say she was late? Oh, well... it doesn't matter.

"It's fine. I wasn't waiting long anyway."

Mar smiled happily at me.

We both started to walk towards the front entrance. I looked up slightly to see the giant clock that hung on top of the entrance gates, for the time. Instead I noticed a figure hiding behind it with a pair of binoculars. I guess that's where guy1 is...

I felt Mars hand softly grab ahold of mine. It's soft... I turned my attention to her. She's blushing...

"T-This is what boyfriend and girlfriend do, right?"

"Y-yea."

I swallowed hard. I haven't held hands with a girl before... It feels... nice. I guess I feel a little happier.

"Hello there. How are you two today?"

I heard a familiar voice as we approached the open ticket booth. Noel? Why is she dressed like a park attendant? And why is she...

in fact... why is there no line for this particular ticket booth? In fact, how did Guy1, Guy2, and Noel get here before I did?

"Have you heard about our special discount today?"

"Huh?"

"Couples get in free."

I see why now... but not... how...

Noel slipped two paper bands across the counter to us. On the paper it read 'special passes'. I grabbed the two bands in my hand and stared at Noel confused.

"Now move along you two, and have a good day!"

Mar and I walked through the security bars and into the park.

"Why was... Noel here?"

Mar asked me as we walked out of distance for her to hear. How do I explain this...?
