That Man

/17/

     As I pass through the halls of many students trying to get to there class before the bell rings, I take my time. I take in fresh air once I'm outside the school with my exit pass out of school. Today I think I will just skip school, because I have an important little meet up with someone. And that someone is Zack.

     We've been talking on the phone for quite some time now. It's been so constant that I forgot about the world revolving behind me, even and with surprise David. Zack's manage to make me feel normal again without even having to be with me in person. His talks just block out all the negative things inside me and replace them with happy vibes.

So now I wait. I scan my eyes everywhere till I see a tall, handsome, yet very sexy, boy. I blush as we hold eye contact for awhile. Never breaking the stare as he takes long strides over to me.

"Hey" his deep voice booms through my ears. He slows down his pace as he wraps his arms around me, his hands gliding over my back passionately. I as well clasp my arms over his neck making sure to take in his scent which drives me crazy in this moment.

We break our hug and sadly part from each other. Zack still holds his eyes on me like he's trying to take in every detail of me, which I can't help but do the same.

"So, What do you say we ditch school and go somewhere?" He asks rocking back and forth while managing to look handsome as ever.

A devilish smile plays on my lips as we stand here facing each other. No need to tell me twice. "Well what are we waiting for, let's go" I purposely bump into his shoulder as I leap besides him with a light chuckle.

"Yes ma'am" and with that we were gone from the campus, heading to somewhere.

"Uh...well I did not expect to come here today" my eyes are practically blown out of my sockets as I stare all around.

"I told you I'd bring you here one day. I keep my promises. Now come on, we don't got all day now" he pushes me farther towards the gate where dozens of people stand waiting to pass the security scans.

"O-Ok clam down" I give him a shaky smile. I've never been to an amusement park before, and honestly I'm kind of scared because I've never been on a roller coaster in my entire life.

I keep scanning my eyes on the roller coasters, hearing people scream for their life it seems. "W-Wow those are pretty crazy rides" I glance over to Zack who is also looking up at the rides too. A big grin plastered on his face as he watches the rides take off, hearing the people scream past by.

"Oh yea, the biggest ones here make you wanna cry" he gloats. I couldn't help but flinch as he states that. He catches my act and furrows his brows together. "Are you okay?" He puts a reassuring hand on my shoulder, sending a shock to my face. I look away trying to hide my burning cheeks that are probably already obvious to him.

I take a deep breath then gulp down my watery mouth. "Uh Yea, it's just...Ive never been on an actual roller coaster...like ever" I slowly look up to see him giving me a pity smile. "I hope I'm not ruining your moment. It's just I'm a little freaked because I just never got the experience of an actual roller coaster and I hope I'm not-"

"Jesus Stella, clam down before you pass out" Zack starts to chuckle while shaking his head. "Don't worry about me. I'm already having fun by you just standing next to me" I nod my head in response, calming down my aching nerves that creep through my body.

"Okay" I say while gazing at his brown glistening eyes.

Once we are fully in the park, I can't help but start smiling like a maniac. I, Stella, am standing next to the hottest guy in school. I can't believe I'm now just noticing this. Zack catches my attention giving me a confused brow.

"What's so funny?" He asks curiously.

I look at him for a few seconds debating if I should tell him what's actually on my mind, but I don't want him to get creeped out by me so I just go with the basics. "Nothing just ready to go on these rides now"

"Well in that case, let me guide you to a baby ride first" he teases with a wicked grin earning a playful shove by me.

"Oh hush" I shake my head, but deep down I never want him to stop talking. We continue our little journey and walk up towards a ride that looks decent. It's not too scary looking, but I think I can make it out alive after this ride.

We wait in line for a little while, playfully fighting here and there but still making each other laugh. Once it's our turn to hop on, I freeze. My pulse quickens, my heart beating a dozen times faster.

"How many?" The women asks us. Zack simply raises 2 fingers. "Okay, the front seat" I take a big gulp, staring at the very far seat in front. My hands shake with fear coursing through them as we head over to our seats.

Zack simply hops in the front, as so do I, but my clumsy self struggles to get in. "Sorry" I apologize as I accidentally hit his rib.

"It's fine. Are you okay, Stella? You look really pale" he asks, concerned laced in his tone. "I promise you this ride isn't bad"

"No-I'm all good-er-i" I fumble with my words. I watch as the women checks our seats, pressing down the handle lightly. I couldn't help, but check the handle for myself. Did she really even check my seat? It's like she didn't even actually touch the handle bar.

My hands play around on the bar, giving tight squeezes around the rim. Zack notices and causally places his hand over mine cautiously. Giving a gentle stroke on them with the pad of his thumb. I glance over in shock, totally off guard by this action.

"Don't be afraid Stella, I'm here" he scoots closer to me making me feel secured. I nod my head in response, and clam myself again.

Don't be afraid Stella, don't be afraid. I repeat in my head. I start to take deep breathes once the ride starts to move. It slowly goes up a long hill, taking its sweet time. In this moment I look around my surroundings. Taking in the lovely lights that gleam from the distant. I then switch my eyes to our hands, staring at the veins that rise in his skin. Feeling bold in myself, I passionately intertwine our hands together. I slowly look up towards a pair of brown eyes staring back at me. He gives me a handsome smile that shows something inside, but I can't quite put my finger on it so I return a smile back to him.

When we take our eyes off each other we look back around at the shining lights. "It's beautiful, but just wait till the Farris wheel. You'll enjoy it. I know you will" Zack glows with confidence in his eyes. I can't help but smile. How confident he is.

I look back on the tracks. My heart dropping to the pit of my stomach. "Oh my god" I whisper. My breath shifts in a heartbeat, as my chest heaves up and down. I snap my head to Zack feeling scared.

"Shh, I got you" he coos. In this moment I couldn't help but nudge my head in his neck, closing my eyes tight. I grab ahold of his arm giving it a tight squeeze. The ride drops. Fleeing down fast as I scream.

Zack couldn't help but laugh at me the whole time. Still I screamed my heart out while clutching onto him for dear life, but he held me back as well. For that I felt safe as the ride still races off.
