Trigger Warning: Anxiety and a lot of people *shiver*
(I find carnival/fair chapters really cheesy but it's seasonal so here you go)

You were currently in the car with Dan, Shelby, and Phil. You were headed to the local fair, which you normally didn't go to, but since Dan and Phil had never been in the area before, Shelby wanted to drag them to the fair.

Of course of all days, it was one of those days, where you just didn't feel like dealing with other human beings. More than usual, at least.

But when you got there, ohhhh boy, you did not expect to see all the people there.

Your heartbeat quickened, as your eyes darted around, trying to find a nice, secluded area. But nope. It's a fair, a lot of people come.

Dan noticed your reaction, and he put a hand on your shoulder, asking you if you were okay.

"Um, yeah, I'll be fine, I'm just not a big fan of people." You said.

"Okay." He said. You could tell that he didn't entirely believe you, but you didn't want to make a big scene over this.

Once you all walked through the rides, there was a corner that turned to all the food stands, which Shelby was most excited about since she was obsessed with fair food.

But once you faced the road that held all of the stands, you thought twice about coming.

You took in a sharp breath, and stepped back a bit. You were about to bail out and make up an excuse to go home, but Dan grabbed your hand reassuringly. Your heartbeat went even faster, but not in the "Oh my god I can't deal with this rn" way, more "Oh my god I can't even" way.

You shifted closer to Dan as you all walked down the road. Shelby just mainly "oooh"ed and "awwwee"ed at everything, instead of buying anything.

Shelby walked next to you, ranting about an insanely slow lemonade booth from a few years ago. When she finished, she noticed your hand intertwined with Dan's.

She smiled and looked back up at you. She whispered "Get some..." Before walking back over to Phil.

You stared at her back, mouth slightly agape at what she said. You rolled your eyes and just shifted closer to Dan.
