The Bad Boy I Once Knew | G. D.

Chapter 8

It was now another day at the cabin, and all of us had spent our time out in the lake today. We played lots of games in the lake, and spent our time around the campfire also. But it was now late at night, and Grayson told me there was a carnival down the street from us. He told me that he wanted me to go, but I wasn't so sure. I didn't want things to happen like on our first date at a carnival. But of course, he led me on, which made me give in to go with him.

It was now past 7 o'clock, and I was wearing a cute muscle shirt, along with jean shorts, and my white converse. I also had my hair down wavy, curly almost, and I had my makeup done as the usual. By the time I was done, I grabbed my phone, and headed downstairs. I met Grayson in the kitchen on his phone, and I went up to him saying, "Hey."

He looked up at me from his phone smiling. "Hey," he replied. "You ready?" I nodded my head with a smile. We then headed out, and said our goodbyes to the rest of the guys, who were out in the lake still. We made our way over to the van, and I headed in the passengers seat, with Grayson on the drivers side. He soon started the car, and pulled out, driving down the street. We had a conversation about something random while the radio was playing. It only took about less than 10 minutes to get to the carnival, and Grayson soon parked the van in the parking lot.

As we got out, I met him on his side. We smiled, and both started walking towards the entrance. We talked a little as we walked, and I saw all the lights on the rides. It was also dark out, so it looked beautiful with the lights. As we pulled in line for the ticket booth, I told Grayson, "Let me guess, you wanna pay for me?"

"You got that right," he smirked. I just rolled my eyes, but I ended up laughing.  It was soon our turn to pay, and Grayson got two wristbands for the both of us. "Let's head to that ride," he pointed towards the swings.

"Yes!" I said excitedly. "I love that ride." We laughed, and I started dragging him in line for it. There wasn't so much of a long line, and we soon got on the ride. I got the seat that's on the outside, and Grayson sat in the one next to me in the inside. The ride finally started, and it started to go around slow. As it became faster, we were way high in the air. It felt so nice with the wind blowing towards me, and it felt like I was flying. After a few minutes had passed by, we sadly had to get off. "Still felt like you were flying?" Grayson asked me with a laugh.

I nodded, and laughed since he remembered. "Yeah, still do," I giggled. We soon started walking around, and I brought Grayson over to this roller coaster ride. It was almost like the one at the pier, since he goes around fast and backwards in a circle. I sat on the inside, while Grayson sat next to me on the outside. The ride soon started, and it was going pretty fast. I was basically leaning on Grayson the whole time, and we were all laughing during the ride.

By the time that ride was over, Gray and I were laughing still from the impact on that ride. We then searched for another interesting ride to go on.

After hours of going on tons of rides, Grayson wanted to play one of the games. One of the rides we went on was the Ferris wheel, and I was really hoping we could reenact our first kiss up there, but sadly it never happened. And plus I wouldn't be ready for it. But it was also very tempting to hold onto his hand, cause that's one thing I really wanted to do. But we were at one of the games at the carnival, and it was the one when you have to throw the balls at the bottles standing. It looks pretty easy, but it's definitely not when your up trying to knock them over.

"Sorry sweetie," the man working the counter told me. "Maybe next time." I just shrugged my shoulders, and turned over towards Grayson.
