Landon wiped a hand over his really really red face and took in a sharp breath. "Holy crap," was all he said as Jacob and I rambled on and on about the ride before Landon turned to us.

"Ok ok guys the ride is over," He used his shirt to wipe his face.

"You are a pussy Landon. Iris, you should've seen his face!" Laughed Jacob running a hand through his hair. I smiled and looked at Landon who folded his arms.

"Fuck off Jacob," Said Landon.

"Hell no!" Jacob slapped his knees and started wheezing. I tried not to laugh at Landon, but Jacob was making it really hard. A snicker escaped my lips and Jacob started slapping his thigh and just letting it all out.

Landon looked down at me. "Alright c'mon Iris lemme win you something," Said Jacob taking my hand in his.

I felt the blood run to my cheeks. We are starting to hold hands a lot. We walked through the carnival. "Alrighty, so do you want a unicorn?" Asked Jacob. I didn't answer him instead I stared at the nachos. "C'mon choose what you want me to get for you," Jacob folded his arms.

"Jacob," I said calmly. "Weren't you supposed to do what 'I' wanted you to?" I questionned innocently and Jacob pursed his lips. "Good god, what d'you want?" He smirked.

I pointed to the nachos and he bought them for me. Two of them."Stuffed animals Iris?" Jacob tapped his foot at me.

"That unicorn will do," is what I answered while munching down my nachos.

"Alrighty," The three of us walked to the woman who smiled cheerily at us.

"Goody day kids, knock down two bottles with these balls you get one of the smaller gifts. Hit all five down you get a toy, tickets, or a stuffed animal!" She grinned at us. She only gave them two balls.

"Great I have two chances," Said Jacob, Landon folded his arms and watched Jacob.

Jacob over arm threw the red ball at the bottles knocking one bottom bottle over causing one more to fall. "Oh damn I really am bad at this," He furrowed his eyebrows while reaching for the other red ball. Landon reached over for it and threw it knocking down the rest of the bottles. The girl squealed at us jumping.

"Choose your prize!" She clasped her hands together smiling. Landon and Jacob looked at me and I realized, I really didn't want anything she had.

I ended up taking what I'd said I would've gotten and pointed to the unicorn and she took it down and handed it to me. It was fluffly and cute, but not that nice. I smiled at the unicorn before Landon furrowed his eyebrows. I shoved more nachos into my mouth the unicorn tucked comfortably under my arm.

"'I' wanted to win Iris a toy. Landon," Jacob said bitterly taking my hand in his and swinging it in large motions. We started to leave the booth and Landon scoffed.

"Well you didn't," he said putting down a key ring he was looking at. Jacob clenched his jaw and looked at me while I slowly spun taking in the look of the carnival.

"Is that a goat?!" I squealed pulling Jacob with me while running towards the man and his goat that was wearing a shirt that had 'lamb chops' on it in flaming words. The man was standing by himself in a darker side of the carnival. Jacob stopped running next to me and abruptly stopped, almost ripping my arm off of my body.

I gasped and stumbled. "Let's not-" I stopped him mid sentence as the goat took a step in my direction.

"Can I pet your goat?!" I hollered over to him waving my nachos at him. He looked like the ultimante biker with his tattoos and long low ponytail.

"Eh?" He yelled back taking off his big thick sunglasses.

"I want to pet your goat!" I cheered. Jacob slapped his forehead and pulled me back with his hand that was in mine.

The man walked to us with the goat. "Sure lil' girl, a nacho?" He said in his country accent while another biker called and waved at him. "Of course!" I answered far too excited.

I held the open cardboard box the nachos were in in his direction and he took the whole box pushing the rope the goat was tied with into my hands and running over to his friends yelling he got food. I gasped and Jacob stood there in awe.
