Glass Wall

Chapter 21

I step into Harry's car still feeling a little uneasy.

After watching tv for a bit we had lunch in silence and then got ready to go to the fair.

Harry starts the car and pulls out of the driveway. The whole ride there I stare out the window. My mind isn't concentrated on the scenery flying by but on whatever happened between Harry and me. I don't know what got into me and it honestly scares me.

"How long are we going to take?" I ask Harry fed up of thinking to myself.

"About 5 more minutes." He replies.

I don't really know how Harry is feeling at the moment. I can't tell if he's upset, angry or just normal. My mind is too clouded for me to figure it out.

When we get there I step out of the car and look at the entrance of the fair. From the parking lot I can already see the Ferris wheel. We walk up to the front and Harry buys us tickets. When we walk inside Harry grabs my hand. I immediately tense up.

"Relax its going to be fun." He tells me.

I'm not thinking about that.

"Sorry." I answer.

He's right, if I want to get through today I need to relax and have fun. I loosen my hand in his grip and he seems to notice. He looks down at me and smiles.

"Where to?" I ask smiling at him.

"Let's see..." He trails off looking around.

"How about I kick your ass at that water gun competition?" I say smirking at him.

"Oh someone brings out their competitive side?" He says smiling back.

"Well only because I know I'm going to win." I reply.

"Oh let's just see about that." He answers.

We walk up to the water guns and hand in our tickets to play. The guy explains the game. You have to shoot directly in the target so that your meter goes up. The first person with the meter at the top wins.

"Get ready." Harry says to me.

I don't give him a second glance. I just prepare myself to shoot.

"GO!" The guy yells.

I immediately start pulling the trigger of the water gun. The water goes directly to the middle of the target and my meter starts going up. I glance at Harrys meter and see that he's behind me because he took a couple of seconds to adjust.

"Shit." Harry mutters.

After a few more seconds my meter reaches the top first and I jump up with joy.

"Ha!" I turn around and yell at Harry. He sits there pouting with his arms crossed.

"Wow that was the fastest I've ever seen anyone do this." The guy behind the counter says.

"Thank you." I say smiling at him.

"Which prize do you want?" He asks me pointing at the stuffed animals.

I notice a big bear with brown fur and green eyes.

"That one." I say pointing at the bear. He grabs the bear and hands it to me. I thank him and then walk towards Harry.

"Told you." I say smirking at him. He rolls his eyes and grabs the bear from me looking at it.

"Why'd you choose this one?" He asks curiously.

"I don't know." I lie.

"Sure." He answers smiling at me.

Harry gives me back the bear and holds my hand walking away from the booth.
