Tea Break

Amusement Park Romance

I stared up at the tall metal structure. My stomach started twisting as I watched it drop down and heard the screams of the people riding. My friends where all giddy around me as I wrung my hands together.

"You OK, Amelia?" one of my friends ask. I turned around and gave her a smile.

"I'm fine." I told her. We moved up the line and I could see us getting closer to the ride. When it was time to use to get on, I started to panic.

"Amelia, go sit by the guy." my friend pushed me to sit between a boy and my other friend. 

He gave me a friendly smile. I clenched my hands as I sat in the sat and got buckled in. The boy next to me gave me a quizzical look and I frowned. He put a hand on my arms and moved it up and down.

"I'll be OK." he promised. When he looked at me I got a better look at him. Hazel eyes looks into my own and his hair was the kind of floppy that people used gel to make it stand up after running his hand through it a few time. He was taller than me sitting. His hand moved down my arms as the cart started moving up the tower to my hand.

I gripped his hand when we reached the top of the ride and I had that familiar twisting in my stomach before we dropped. I heard the clink of the ride and a scream left my mouth as the ride dropped than stopped and moved up again before dropping.

When the ride ended I looked down at our entwined hands. I had gripped his hand hard, it was red when I let go and he shook it and helped me off the ride.

"Uh, thanks, for comforting me." I said shakily.

"No problem," he engulfed me in a hug. "I told you it wouldn't be so bad." he let me go and walked off. 

My friend surrounded me.

"Go after him." one told me as we walked.

"Get that boy's number, he was cute." another grinned. I inhaled and started to walk faster. I tried to keep him in my line of vision as we walked. 

When he stopped, he was with a group of people, including a few girls. I paused and curled my hands into fists and took a deep breath before I marched over to the group. He looked over as I walked and his eyebrows raised.

"Oh hey.." he trailed off, obviously not expecting me to follow him. I could hear my friends giggling like a pack of hyenas. 

"Uh hi. I just wanted to get your name." I started.

"And your number!" my friend shouted. I felt my face get red and he chuckled.

"A pretty girl like you, hmm." he frowned and I felt embarrassed to be asking this.  "I'm Jefferson, and you are?" he started pulled out his phone from his pocket

"Amelia." I replied. He looked at his phone and I opened up a new contact while he rattled off his number. I entered it and thanked him before walking away to my group of friend.

They were laughing and making comments towards me when I approached them. I glared at them and we headed to another ride. I looked at his name in my phone and decided to send him a text to he would have mine.

"Hey, this is Amelia :)" I sent and gripped my phone in my hand It vibrated shortly after and it was a text from Jefferson. I smiled. 

"Hey Amelia, nice meeting you today." I closed out of my messages and put it into my bag with a small grin. 

I guess drop rides aren't so bad after all.

A/N

So not the greatest little drabble ever. But one of my friend

told me that this happened to her at Knott's Berry Farm on a ride

and I thought it was really cute and decided to write a cute ending

to the story since she didn't actually get the guys name or number.

All names have been changed.
