Chapter 19: Like me, Like me not
There were problems when you’re a short person.
1)The visor in the car is always too high to shield the sun from my eyes.
2)When you’re going grocery shopping and you have to step on a shelf or two to reach the thing you want.
3)People describe you as cute, never hot.
4)You can’t run as fast as people with long legs.
I’ve experienced all four. Through the years of my life, I’ve learned to outsmart these little devilish problems.
Wear high heels.
Okay. Exclude fixing the first problem, but that’s not the point. I was in heels, wobbling like a drunk idiot around the carnival, trying to chase after my insanely tall 5’7 friend.
And let me tell you. It wasn’t easy.
I ran into people every second, earning me countless glares and creative profanities.
“Driz!” I called for the sixth time.
Stubborn, she continued to leave without a trace, deserting me in the middle of a crowd. Now I knew how Marlin felt when he lost the boat Nemo was on. I tried to go on my tiptoes in the two inch platforms, but failed miserably as I quickly lost my balance.
My arms immediately dropped, and I let out an agitated sigh. Shoulders jabbed my stomach and I felt myself getting pushed.
“Move it!” muffled a stranger. They seemed to multiply.
“Get your ass moving!”
“You’re in my way!”
Muttering apologizes under my breath, I weaved out of the rough current, and inhaled a gulp of refreshing air. Raking my hair back, I shut my eyes and tried to think.
Where would the kissing booth be?
Rummaging through my mind, I came up with nothing and decided to ask the nearest carnival attendant. He replied with a shake of a head, as did the other ten other people who I asked. I blew a frustrated groan and stomped my foot.
Was there even a kissing booth?
This was stressful, and I suddenly wished I had my fluffy unicorn. But Clint agreed on taking it before leaving for the booth since it would be a hassle carrying it around while Driz and I rode the carnival rides.
