A Day at the Carnival

The Ferris Wheel

I held on to the steering wheel and swerve to the left laughing when my best friend crashed into someone else. Somehow I still got t-boned. I swerve out of that collision just as the loud buzzer sounded. I felt a smile growing on me when Lizzy tripped over the lip of the bumper cars arena. Jessie, my other best friend, snorted when the gate closed on her bum. Listening to their crazy stories of what actually happen filled me with a glee that rivals that of the sun. "Hey, let's go on the ferries wheel!" I shout out to my crazy loons of friends. Soon, Jessie, Lizzy and I stood in front of the 20ft wheel. The ride conductor had a white mustache and twinkling blue eyes that spoke of mischief. Jessie and Lizzy babbled into their chair. As I go to join them the conductor stopped me. "Hold on, missy! Two to a seat!" He said in a low timbre. Lizzy and Jessie turn to me when I didn't join them right away. I smiled good heartily and reassured them that I was fine with going with a stranger. I turn to see who would join me, when a group of guys elbowed someone out. I blushed at the cute boy. On the way up, he chatted about the view and how his friends made fun of him for liking the ferries wheel. Our chair jotted to a stop at the top. I gasp at the people and lights below. I turned over to my partner to see he wasn't talking but looking at me. My heart seem to bounce out of my chest as our lips met.
