We've been in the fair for two hours and these girls are killing me.
We have gone on so many rides but it's still not even half of the rides here, especially because the lines are huge.
"I want cotton candy." Lee tells me.
"So buy it." I shrug. She raises an eyebrow at me.
"Chill, I'm joking. Let's go get Lady Lee some cotton cand-ee." I smile. She rolls her eyes and snorts.
"Pig." I mutter and she raises her eyebrow at me again.
The four of us walk to the cotton candy machine.
We are about to be attended but Lia pulls my arm out of the queue.
"What are doing, Lee?" I ask her, letting her pull me.
"Let's go get some burgers instead."
Niz and Elle both cheer at that.
We find a trailer that sells burgers, hotdogs and stuff like that.
"What do you girls want?" I ask them.
"A burger with cheese and eggs but no pickles for me." Niz says.
"You already know what I want." Elle tells me.
"A double burger with pickles and a soda, please." Lee tells me.
This girl has such an appetite, I smile.
I tell the guy —his name tag says Francis— at the counter our orders and we sit at one of the tables placed in front of the trailer.

"I think they're gonna be good friends." Gale whispers in my ear.
My breath catches and a shiver runs down my spine before I turn back to him.
I nod. "Yeah. Me too."
"Gael sometimes has a hard time making friends. You know. 12 year olds aren't such rays of sunshine now a days."
"Oh my God. You sounded like my grandparents talking about their neighbors's kids. 'Now a days'." I mock.
He just smiled and let out a soft chuckle.
Our food got here and immediately we dug in.
"I swear you girls eat like pigs." Gale laughs.
"Shut up and eat." Elle tells him.

Once we were done, we stood up and started walking.
"Can we go to the Ferris Wheel? I need to digest this before I go on another ride." Niz asks.
"Yeah sure. Let's go." I say.
We get to the ferris wheel line. I swear there is a fucking line everywhere we go.
"Oh. My. God." Niz says. She's gaping at her phone.
"What?" her sister asks.
"Daniella is here."
"Who is- Wait what?" Lee says.
"Daniella is here." she's still gaping.
I look at them in confusion.
Lee's jaw drops. "Daniella?" Niz nods. "Daniella Campbell? The Daniella Campbell? Holy-"
"Hey." a girl says behind us. She's kind of tall, 5'8 or something. She has a huge curly afro and green eyes.
Lee, Niz and Elle gasp at the same time.
"D-D-D..." they start stuttering.
"Oh my goodness. Daniella!" Gael shouts. She starts breathing funny and getting all red on the face.
"Breathe, Gael. Breathe." I tell her.
She starts fanning her face, taking deep breaths.
"I heard you guys talking about me, thought about saying hi." pause, "Hi." the girl waved.
"Me too!" a guy that looks a lot like her waves from behind her. "Hi."
"David." Lee gasps. "Oh my gosh, can I hug you?"
My eyebrows raise in surprise.
"Sure." he opens his arms and she squeezes him so much he might be suffocating.
"You're really beautiful."
"Is Dani Campbell actually saying that to me?" Niz says.
"Well to all of you." the girl, Daniella, from what I've got in this conversation, shrugs. "I love your curls." she says to Gael.
"My curls? Have you seen the huge curls you have on your head?"
"Yeah but yours are really cute."
My sister blushes a deep red. "Thank you. Can- can I- uh, we, take a picture with you?"
"How 'bout we take a picture all together then you each can have an individual picture. And give me your Instagram usernames so I can tag you."

Happy New Year. I hope you all had a great 2019 and an even more prosperous 2020.
Love, MissTerious
