Chapter 20

I'm running so fast right now not caring what I'm hitting and Greg's behind me trying to catch. I know it sounds crazy but right now I feel like I'm running in slow motion. The wind is blowing on me and the sound of children laughing and screaming feels really good.

I'm overwhelmed with joy and happiness, I've never been this free or happy before In my life.

Suddenly, Greg grabs my arm and pulls me. Greg's a fast runner than me. He pins me to the ground and Greg is laying on top of me and I on the bottom but everyone is staring at us well because we're laying on the ground.

I'm looking at Greg while gassing for air and his looking back at me breathing in and out really loud and Our eyes suddenly lock.

Everyone continues walking and going about their night ignoring me and Greg who are laying on the ground.

Unknowingly I burst out a laugh and Greg stares confused. Out of the blue he bursts out a laugh too and now we're both laying on the ground laughing at who knows what. I've never ever been so happy before and it's all because of Greg.

He gets up while laughing and helps me get up as well. I brush off the dirt on my jean while still giggling and Greg does the same.

He looks at me and says "this place is gonna close in an hour so let's start exploring."

I smile and say while making hand gestures "yeah let's explore."

Greg grabs my arm and drags me towards a small photo booth and says "let's get photos."
I node my head and Greg suddenly grabs my arm and drags me into the photo booth.

Suddenly, we're getting all sorts of crazy photos. We took so many photos that some we didn't carry with us.

After we come out of the photo booth Greg shows me a photo of us looking totally crazy, in the photo my tongue was out and I was looking at the camera but Greg was not looking at the camera but was looking at me.

I giggle while staring at the photo and say "we look crazy." He nodes his head and takes the photo then places it in his pocket.

At my left side was a man selling cotton candy and I stare amazed. Well I've never had cotton candy before in my life. Greg notices that I'm staring at the cotton candy and asks "do you want one?"

I node my head then say "yeah I've never had one before."  I'm feeling really embarrassed about it.

Greg smiles and heads towards the cotton candy and buys two cotton candies then brings it to me.

He hands me the cotton candy and asks "have you ever done anything in your life?"

I reply while eating my cotton candy "I have, I've done a lot of things actually."

Greg laughs out loud then asks "you haven't, have you ever ride roller coaster?"

I reply finishing the second cotton candy and guys it's so delicious and yummy. I don't understand why my dad would not let me have on of these.

"No I haven't but I will."

He says while grabbing my arm "let's go ride the devil roller coaster ride."

I stare literally afraid because Greg mentioned devil in his sentence.

He again drags me towards the roller coaster ride. We've reached and their is a long line. We stand in the line patiently waiting to be in the front.

I glare at the roller coaster and I'm left speechless. It's a large huge and long roller coaster. Staring at it is making me nervous and afraid.

Greg looks behind and looks at me then notices I'm looking odd. He asks, "hey are you okay?"

I reply immediately nervously "yeah I'm fine no worries." A plane lie is what I said I'm afraid and don't wanna get on this ride.

Greg nodes his head and stares in front. I'm taking in breaths to help me calm down.

We're now in front and I stare at a white gate and Then I stare at the huge sign that says 'DEVILS RIDE' then swallow hard.

A tall brown skinned guy says "10dollars each."
Greg removes 20 dollars paying for both him and I. The guy lets us in the white gate heading to the devil ride.

I grab Greg's arm and ask "is this safe?"

He smiles slightly and replies "Vanessa relax this place is completely safe."

"I don't think so I mean if we're in an accident....."

He rises an eyebrow and asks "are you afraid the so called brave Vanessa?"

I don't wanna let Greg know that I'm afraid or he'll tease me the whole night. I look at him dead In his eyes and say confidently "no I'm not afraid maybe you're afraid."

He says "I'm not afraid."

"Well lets go then." I say confidently even though I'm so scared.

We head to the roller coaster and are soon let in the ride. All this time I'm praying this ride gets spoiled before we ride it but unfortunately that didn't happen.

Me and Greg sit next to each other and the roller coaster started moving.

At first it was slow and steady as it got higher and when it reached on top, we were able to see  the whole carnival and some parts of the city.

It was beautiful and glamorous, the view was remarkable and phenomenal.

Greg stares at me and says "prepare to have the time of your life." I look at him and ask "what?"

Suddenly, the roller coaster starts moving and it moves from the top to bottom. It wasn't moving slowly and steady like before this time it was moving fast and roughly making you to scream and jump from your seat.

I am screaming loudly while inhaling all the dusty air that came in my mouth because of the wind. When I glare at Greg his got a huge smile not looking afraid. His been here multiple times that's why.

The ride went up and down, left and right and back and fourth. I even stopped screaming Because I'm used to the ride at this point.

Greg is starring at me as the roller coaster ride and I stare back until our eyes lock. Finally the ride is done and we can get out of there.

I'm left gasping for air and Greg basically doesn't look nervous or confused like I am right now.

We're let out of the ride.
