     I finally decided I was brave enough to ride a Ferris-wheel. I clutch Jenna's arm before squeezing my eyes shut. She giggles at me fear and I squeal.

  "I can't believe you talked me into this!" I scream at my best friend.

  "Haha! Me either!" I smack her and she laughs again. "Don't look down!"

     Tempted by her protest, and because of my own stupid curiosity and stubborn-ness, I look over the edge ever so slightly. My stomach tightens when I see tiny cars and even tinier people. I jump back, causing the car to wobble. Jenna tries to speak through her laughter but fails horribly.

  "I hate you!" I shreik and she laughs so hard she has troubles breathing.

     Once off the death machine, I smack her arm lightly.

  "You should've seen your face!"

  "Yeah, seeing a person terrified of heights riding a Ferris-wheel is just so funny!" I remark, sarcasm dripping from my voice. She giggles, but opens her eyes wide at something in the distance.

  "FOOD!" she screams, taking off. I grab her wrist and try to keep up. We jog into a little burger station, and order some food.

     As I'm reaching for my order, my sleeve rolls up, and the guy across the counter notices my scars.

  "Ouch, what happened EMO, your boyfriend break up with you?" he smirks.

     Something inside me snaps. I glare at the guy, and feel utter rage. I am sick and tired of putting up with people's shit, and I don't know what made me snap at his remark. Maybe it's been all these months of being put down about myself. He doesn't know me. He doesn't know what I've been through. He had no right to say that. Whatsoever.

     I reach across the counter, swinging. My fist collides with his nose, as Jenna comes running up.

  "Watch what you say big guy, you could get hurt," I spit at him, and he looks too shocked to realize exactly what just happened. I soon see blood dripping from his nose.

     Jenna grabs both our orders, and tries tugging on my arm to get the heck out.  I finally oblige, and leave the asshole to his broken nose.

  "What the hell happened?!" she asks when we get to a bench.

  "He said, 'Ouch, what happened EMO, your boyfriend break up with you?'. I couldn't help myself, but I don't regret it. At all."

  "Wow, some people really don't know boundaries," she says, taking a big bite out of her burger.
