Castle Point Part 1

"I call sitting next to the birthday girl!" Cameron yelled while picking me up.

"AAGH!" I laughed, while struggling to get loose of his grasp.

He eventually put me down because Christine got mad at him. We were all getting in her car to go to Castle Point and I was so excited.

"I call sitting on the other side of her!" Ashton yelled.

"No, Ashton. Let Carter sit next to her because he's our guest and she invited him." Christine said.

Ashton pouted. I knew that he didn't like Carter but he is one of my best friends and he's also pretty cute. I could tell Carter anything and know that he would never tell anyone. Carter also tells me things that I would never tell anyone. We're good like that.

We were in the parking lot when a handsome middle aged man stopped us and said, "Ma'am, my kids are inside the park already, but I just got a call from the hospital saying that my mother has cancer. I accidentally left the keys in the car and it's locked. Do you think you could drive me to the hospital so I could see her? I completely understand if you don't have the time or you don't want to. It's just that my mother has had health problems in the past and you never know what could happen next."

"Well, it's my daughter's birthday and she's been planning on this day for a long time. It's up to her, but I could gladly do it." Christine said.

I answered, "Christine can you take him? Cameron is old enough to watch all of us and I want other people to be happy on my birthday, too!"

"Thank you so much! This means everything to me!" The man said.

"Which ones should we ride first?" Carter asked.

I looked around and saw all of our choices.

"Let's start small and work our way up." I decided.

Cameron and Hunter went off to the biggest one first. Dumdums. I thought they were supposed to watch us.

"Don't worry. I'll stay with you guys," Brandon said.

"Me too," Said Ashton.

We rode one called 'The Bird' and it was really fun. It swung all over the place like a bird and by the time we got off, I was so dizzy. I couldn't even walk in a straight line. We got drinks before choosing our next ride. Ashton and I got coke, Carter got Pepsi, and Brandon got Mountain Dew.

After finishing our drinks, we rode a coaster called "The Beast." It was wooden, so it was pretty wobbly. That was the only part that scared me besides one of the drops. It went straight down, and I could feel my stomach drop. When it finally ended, we met up with Hunter and Cameron again.

We decided to get lunch because we were all starving. Cameron paid for a pizza and we all dug in. This day was perfect.

But then someone had to ruin everything by screaming, "IS THAT HUNTER ROWLAND AND CAMERON DALLAS!?"

They gave each other 'the look,' dropped their pizza, and sprinted toward the bathroom, where fangirls couldn't reach them.

Great. Just great. Now we have to hide from fangirls on my birthday. Perfect.
