"I know, I know, I had a change of heart real quick but I couldn't help it. I'm a nice person and I'm a sucker for sad stories. That's just who I am and I can't help it. Don't yell at me though. I didn't do anything wrong. Austin and I have a long history and I know him too well. I know when he's lying and broken. When he was talking today, he was broken. It was like he had been waiting forever to tell someone about his family.

I mean, sure he did a lot of bad to me but will it hurt to let him back into my life?"

"Ugh, Paris you are so stupid. He didn't just do a lot of bad to you, he messed up your life. It took you a year to get back in track and all that isn't going to get thrown away." Walter spoke through the phone.

"Well what do you want me to do Walt? Everyone's done something they regret in their life as least once. No one's innocent. No one's perfect. That's the way this world works."

I paced back and forth my room arguing with Walt. I don't get what the big deal is with letting him back in my life as a friend. I mean, I already have a boyfriend or at least he thinks I do. He wouldn't try anything right?

"Psstt. Paris, we need to talk." A voice whispered behind me. I turned around and saw Timothy standing by the doorway. I motioned him to come in.

"I got to go Walt. I'll call you later." I hung up the phone with Walt.

"What's up? Being with me isn't getting you enough girls or something?"

"Oooo someone's smart and yes it isn't. I think its because ever since we've made our little deal, we haven't been spending as much time as a 'couple' so I don't think anyone believes us."

"Well excuse you but I've been busy with my own stuff."

"Okay then, we're going on a date tomorrow night. I'll pick you up at 7 and dress casually."

"What makes you think I don't have plans?"

"Okay fine, I'll ask. Do you have plans tomorrow?" He walked slowly up to me and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. I shivered at his touch.

"Oh, so I have an effect on you huh?" He whispered in my ear. No, no, he doesn't have an effect on me.

"Y-yeah I have plans." I stuttered. His body was so close to mine I could feel his warmth.

"With who?" He backed up, giving space between us.

"Tori." I replied simply. I didn't have plans but that didn't mean I wanted to seem like a loser.

"I'll talk to her so now, you're free. I'll pick you up." He winked and left my room.

"Wha-" Oh, forget it.

****************

"So where are we going?" I asked as I stepped into his car.

"You'll see when we get there."

He turned on the radio and the song Lion Heart by Jake Miller was playing.

So tear me up and set me free

We'll run underneath the stars

I swear that I will never lea-

"Hey! Why'd you turn that off?" I nearly shouted.

"I didn't like the song."

"Well I did, now turn it back on."

"No, we're here anyways."

I turned and looked out the window and saw my favorite place.

"A carnival! Ahhhhh!" I shrieked and he laughed.

"I knew you'd like it here and plus half the school is here so I'll probably be getting at least 5 chicks' numbers." He unbuckled his seatbelt and left the car. I mimicked his actions.

This place was so beautiful. Ever since I was a little kid, I've always loved to come here. Right away I dragged Timothy over to the Ring Toss. I payed the man two dollars for 8 rings and started tossing them. One by one I missed.

Just because I said I love the carnival, doesn't mean I'm good at all the games.

***********

So for the whole night we hung out with friends and played some games. Guess what? Timothy played the clown water game thing and got me a teddy bear!

"Come on, let's rude the Ferris Wheel before we leave." He smiled and held my hand as we ran to the Ferris Wheel. Butterflies started to form in my stomach. What was happening? Timothy himself looked like he was having fun too. Was he really having fun? Or was it just for show? Honestly, this whole night has been very surprising. I found out Timothy is really good at these carnival games.

We took a seat and strapped the seat belt waiting for the Ferris Wheel to start. The guy pulled the lever and we slowly starting moving up.

"Wow, the sky is so beautiful." It was very breathtaking.

"Not as beautiful as you." I looked at him and saw him give me a smile. He didn't show his usual smirk or wink. It was a smile. An actual smile. A smile from Timothy Martinez. Wow, this night has really surprised me.

When we reached the top, the Timothy pulled my face closer to his and kissed me. I swear I heard girls screaming and shrieking but I didn't really hear it because I actually enjoyed the moment. I kissed back hard deepening the kiss and I felt his smirk against my lips. When we pulled apart, I looked him in the eyes and smiled.

Realizing what was happening, I quickly shook my head and turned my head away from him. No no no no no why was my heart beating so fast?

"What's wrong?" He put his hand lightly on my shoulder and I shrugged it off.

"Uh um nothing. Don't worry about it."
