Luke's POV

After Calum walked off, I was thoroughly confused. I didn't know what he could want to talk to me about. It consumed my brain, and if I didn't stop thinking about it, I was positive that I would go insane.

"Luke let's go play that! It looks so fun!" Kate said jumping up and down. I turned around, and it was some sort of game with a ladder.

We went over and stood in line. There were a couple of pairs ahead of us, so I took the opportunity to figure out what we were supposed to do.

I watched the guy who was working the stand blow a whistle, and the two raced up the ladder. Only, it wasn't that easy. It was a rope ladder, connected at the top and bottom of the booth, on an incline. It wasn't very steep either, but it was nearly impossible to win, unless you were a ninja of course.

Every time anyone got remotely close to the bell at the top, the ladder would give, and they would flip over, causing them to fall on the trampoline below.

By the time I finished analyzing the game, it was Kate and I's turn to go. Kate went to her respective side of the booth, and I went to mine. I handed the guy five dollars and took my stance.

"If you don't get to the top, you'll get a prize from the sides. If you get to the top but you don't ring the bell up there, you'll get a prize from the back wall. If you ring the bell, you'll get a prize that's hanging from the ceiling," he explained.

Kate nodded rapidly, and I did too, just not as eagerly. He blew a whistle , and we set off. I grabbed onto the sides of the rope ladder, and Kate went straight for the middle bars. I went as fast as I could go, but it was very challenging.

"My legs are too long for this, oh my god!" I shouted over to Kate. She just laughed and kept going. She was going fast, but also taking her time.

"Sucks to suck, doesn't it?" She replied giggling.

"But it'll suck when you lose, right?" I said and kept climbing. I was almost there, just a quarter away. I looked back at Kate, and she was about halfway there.

She smirked, before saying, "Okay, well if you win, I'll give you a surprise." I knew she was referring to the whole conversation we had about 'sucking'.

My eyes went big, and all of a sudden, my ladder flipped. I fell onto the trampoline, and Kate sped her pace up, ringing the bell five seconds after I had fallen. I got up and walked off, waiting for Kate at the beginning of the game.

The sirens on the tent went off, signaling that Kate won. She crawled back down the ladder and got off the contraption, coming over to where I was standing.

"Cheater," I said nudging her. She just giggled innocently.

"It's not my fault you have poor focusing skills and lanky legs, Breadstick," she replied clutching her tummy because of her laughter. I just huffed, not having a good enough comeback.

The guy who ran the game grabbed a pole with a hook on it and walked over to us.

"Which prize would each of you like? Sir, you can pick from the back wall. Ma'am you can pick a prize from the ceiling," he said.

"Erm, Can I have the heart with the winking face on it?" I asked, Kate in mind. He went over and hooked it so he could get it down. Once it was finally off, he gave it to me. I was about the size of Calum, Michael, Ashton, and I's heads put together. It was cute.

"Can I have that penguin with the scarf over there?" She said point to a huge penguin hanging from the ceiling. He hooked it and got it down for her. He passed it over, and I swear it was like four and a half feet tall.
