Good morning Mr. Jake intoxicated Webber!"
"What happened? Why am I here?"
"Let me remind you that you got drunk, chump!"
"How? I dont even drink"
"Well you do now because Jessica made you do it"
"but why didn't you take me home?"
"Do you want us to get murdered by your parents? and it's almost homecoming I don't want to get grounded"
"Right, right. Well thanks for taking care of me and dont worry, lunch is on me today"
"Today? Nah. You owe me lunch for the rest of the week dude" I chuckled

At lunch

"Looks like someone is busy. Y/N? Y/N!"
Jake shouted and I startled.
"What???"
"Who are you texting?"
"No one"
"That is not no one. Let me see"
"Stop!"
"See you later y/n. From tyler. Hmm. Who is tyler?"
"Jessica's cousin. I met him at the party last night"
"You're going on a date?"
"It's not a date. We are just hanging out."
"Why you didnt tell me that you're going on  a date?"
"i'm not even sure that i'm gonna go"
"You should go. Maybe it's your time to have a boyfriend"
"Pff . I've got no time for that. You know i'm working my butt off for Columbia" i scoffed.
"Even if you party all night and hook up with guys, you're gonna get into columbia. You're smart and you're the best"
"You're just saying that cause you're my best friend"
"Of course not. We only got one senior year, let's have fun"

Maybe Jake's right. We have been working our asses off since grade school,  always being the top 1 and top 2 through all these years.

The next day

"Y/N your date's here!" My dad shouted
"Just a sec!" I said
"no drinking, no drugs and no hands and oh, 10:30 on the dot"
"You got it sir"  tyler assured my dad
I grabbed my bag and ran downstairs
"Let's go?" I smiled
"Sure"
"Y/N? Do you still have the pepper spray in your bag?" Dad whispered
"Dad!"
"Just making sure"
"I will be safe I promise"
"Okay. Have fun sweetie! Love you!"
"Love you too!"
I shut the front door.
"Your Dad is cool"
"Yeah he's the best" I tittered
"So where are we going, tyler?"
"You'll see"

We arrived at the LA county fair. I got so excited. It's been a long time since I last went to an amusement park.

"Are you excited?"
"I am. I was 9 when we last went to a county fair"
"Yeah I figured you love amusement parks"
"I can't wait to play whac-a-mole. Fun fact I was the champion back then. So are you ready to lose?" I scoffed
"Hah! You wish. Don't underestimate me miss reed!"
"Okay Let's make a deal. The overall loser buys dinner, how bout that?"
"But I invited you so I should buy dinner"
"No no no. This is not a date remember?" I smirked
"Oh alright!"

An hour later

"And the winner is, drum roll please... ME!" I teased
"okay, what do you want to eat?"
"i dont know.. but I have an idea. How about we let the person infront of us decide what we eat?"
"Huh? what if we don't like it?"
"Well we need to eat it"
"So I've come to conclusion, you really are a weirdo, Y/N"
"So i've been told" i winked

A few minutes later
"I can't believe you ate all of that!"
"What can I say I'm hungry." I grin
"Okay where to next?"
"Rollercoaster?"
"But we just ate! Ferris wheel?"
"Ew that's for babies. But okay. How about we toss a coin. Heads rollercoaster tails ferriswheel"
"Ha! Tales!! Let's go!"
Tyler grabbed my hand and walked towards the ferris wheel excitedly.
"How come all the people in line are couples?"
"I don't know. I guess they want to be romantic like in the movies"
"So that's why you voted for ferriswheel. You wanted to be romantic" i teased
"That's not true. I really wanted to see the view"
"Hmmmm " i smirked
"Geez you're right. The view here is amazing" I take photos of the view.
"Is this where you take your girls on a first date?" I asked kiddingly
"of course not. Plus I only went on a date once"
"What happened? Tell me about it"
"Next time" he chuckled
"How about now? Come on"
"Okay okay. So three years ago I met this girl Emily. She was beautiful, sweet, and smart. She was my first love. She was into artsy stuff so I took her to a museum. We were very happy back then. People say we were the ultimate couple goals. Although we were not in a relationship. But she left. She didn't tell me that she was leaving. I went to her house and their neighbor said they moved to London. I dont have any news from her since then"
"I'm so sorry tyler" I hugged him
"No don't be.  You are not her. Anyway, how about you? What's your love story?"
"I don't have any. I'm SSB"
"SSB?"
"Single since birth" I chuckled
"What about Jake?"
"He's my bestfriend. we have been by each other's side kindergarten"
"He's so lucky to have a best friend like you"
"I'm lucky either" I said jokingly
"Shit. It's 10. I promised your dad to get you home by 10.30"
"How did the time go by so fast?!"
" I dont know. Let's go"
Tyler held my hand and we ran to the parking lot. It looked like we were little kids running arround the amusement park.
