Chapter 5
"The Carnival"
♥POV Allie♥
Shortly, we arrived at the carnival. The weather was amazing and the place felt so alive. The last time I went was at the age of 10, and now I'm 15. We paid the admission fee and went inside. The colorful lights matched the clear blue sky. The whole carnival made me feel like a kid again. We were walking around unable to decide where to go.
Char pulled me over to a game. We agreed on playing games and eating for a little bit. Later when the lights came on, the sky was black. Though, I wasn't a big fan of rides or heights.
After playing a few games and winning some of them, we went to buy some food. We bought two snow cones since it was so hot. I held mine, trying to shove my money in my back pocket and to walk forward. That was until, I felt my snow cone jam into someone...
I slowly looked up to see who it was. He was tall, his dirty blonde hair was in a nice quiff, he was wearing brown khaki pants and well.. dayyumm. He was pretty hot.
I was embarrassed and Char wasn't helping, she just stood there laughing her ass off.
"I'm so sorry!" I said while dropping my snow cone to the ground. "I wasn't paying attention to where i was going." His face looked like he was uncomfortable.
"What the- Next time, watch where you're going!" He shouted, looking at his shirt and not looking up.
Gosh. Such an ass.
"Shit this is cold." He chattered.
"Umm I can buy you a new shirt." I said, feeling guilty. The red stain popped out on his white shirt and well, I tried my best to hold in my laughter.
Char walked over to us after controlling her laughter. "I'll wait in line and buy you another snow cone." She said before laughing. I turned to her direction, mouthing 'help me'. She winked at me and shook her head.
I turned back around to see him holding his shirt in his hands and revealing his bare chest.
"Aren't you cold?" i asked, finding this awkward.
He shrugged as i tried to keep my eyes away from him. Char is gonna pay for leaving me with this shirtless jerk.
----------------
Him and I kept a distance. He didn't seem to mind the fact that he's shirtless. He was getting winks and smiles, as for me, well, I got dirty looks. He must be really popular and it seemed to me that any girl would die to be me.
We walked up to a shirt shop, that had graphic tees. Judging on what the shirts looked like, I knew that i would be spending quite abit of money. But no way i was spending my money on a shirt for some douchebag.
"Whats your name?" he asked. Wow, he finally broke the silence.
"Allie, Allie Shay. You?" I said not interested and looking around
"Matthew Espinosa" he said smiling
I rolled my eyes and looked around. He scanned every shirt in the small shop and pulled out a white one that had a blue 'thumbs up'. I looked at the price tag and it was $35. $35 dollars for this? I rolled my eyes again. Im so done with this. I paid the $35 and stormed out.
"Cameron!" he shouted from behind me.
"Excuse me?" I turned around and running into Matthew chest. "Ow" I said rubbing my forehead
"Eager are we?" he said smirking.
"For you? You wish Espinosa" I scoffed at him and continued to walk away.
I made my way back to Char sitting down on a table holding my snow cone. I grabbed it and said "I spent $35 on that douche" She giggled. I mimicked her and laughing about it with her.
We walked around some more and i checked my phone to see what time it was and it was 6:30. We walked down to the Ferris wheel and i guess this was the only ride I could handle. So we decided to line up in a not too long line.
Right in front of us was Matthew and his friend. I believe Cameron was his name. I couldn't lie that he wasn't attractive. He was. But we would never click in a type of way.
"Hey Char!" he said unfortunately directing Matt's attention to me again.
"Hey Cam" she smiled.
"Who's your friend?" he asked smiling at me, and of course I smiled back.
"She's Allie, Allie Shay." Matt said interrupting my thoughts. Ugh, when will he stop annoying me.
"Well I guess you guys know each other already." Cameron chuckled.
"Yeah" I mumbled in a bad tone. Cameron got the message that I wasn't very fond of Matt.
"Oh" Cameron said, finding this awkward.
We made it to the front of the line and I started having second thoughts about going on the Ferris wheel.
"Um Char. I don't wanna go anymore." I whispered.
"What?" She frowned.
"Ugh fine, I'll go." I mumbled
Cameron sat in the small box shapes compartment. Matt leaned down to tie his shoe, showing his American Eagle boxers. I rolled my eyes, once again. "I need one more person to ride with him!" the guy said not noticing Matt. "How about you ma'am?" the guy said turning to Char.
"Um no, you see I-" She said nervously. "She'll go" i quickly said pushing Char. I said I'd get back at her later. I smiled at her. 'I'm gonna kill you' she mouthed. I laugh as they moved up.
Matt was next and went in the box.. I completely forgot that Cameron and Matt were gonna ride together. Shoot. "And you're with him?" the guy asked me. "No, I was just leaving!" I began. "She's with him!" Cameron and Char yelled from above me. Char winked at me.
"No really, I'm not interested in this" I said not wanting to admit that i was scared of riding a Ferris wheel. "Please get in ma'am." He urged. As for me, I was holding up the line. I sat in with the door closing up behind me.
Perfect right? I am stuck on a giant Ferris wheel with Matthew Espinosa. This was going to be a long ride.
