Not Part of the Job [ORIGINAL]

14. Closer

"First one to throw up on that gets a wedgie," Garfield said as he pointed towards the largest roller coaster in sight.

"You're on," Jaime said and raced him towards the roller coaster. Damian and Raven were left walking behind to catch up.

"Those two are children," Raven said and let out a short laugh as she watched them run off.

Her and Damian finally caught up and stood in the back of the line. "I've never rode these before," Damian decided to speak up, trying to make conversation.

"They're okay," she replied. "You don't seem to do much."

"I didn't have much of a childhood," he said, not going into detail.

"That's how I was until I met these guys," Raven said with a sight smile. "Friends really do change you."

Damian glanced down at the ground, deep in thought. Raven noticed this and spoke again. "It's never too late to start."

He looked up at her as she gestured for him to follow her. He hadn't even noticed that they were next in line.

The conductor instructed both of them on how to properly buckle up and be seated while the ride was in motion. Once everyone was ready, the cart they were in moved and slowly rolled up the first drop.

"Put your hands up when we start going down," Raven recommended as she held onto the bar that was in her lap. "There's a camera on one of these loops so don't make any stupid faces."

Damian just gave her a funny look before returning his attention to the front. They finally reached the top and the cart slowly tipped over the edge and sped off. He quickly raised his hands up after seeing her do the same and closed his eyes. "This hurts my eyes!" he shouted, trying to be heard over the other teenagers' screams.

"Keep them open, it's about to take a picture!" Raven replied as they entered a few more loops. Damian blinked a few times and let his eyes stay open, looking frantically for the fabled camera she spoke of.

Click. 

"Fuck! I missed it," he cursed as soon as he heard the noise of the picture being taken.

Raven just giggled at this. Damian turned his head to see her laugh and blushed. "That is not funny!" he scolded.

Finally the ride came to a stop and the two of them raced to the shelter where the pictures were displayed. Raven bursted out in laughter once she saw theirs. She was smiling while making a peace sign with her hand and Damian was squinting at the camera.

"Again, not funny," Damian said and crossed his arms over his chest.

"There will be more, come on," Raven said and tugged at his arm. Damian looked down at her sudden gesture, then back up at her, a puzzled expression on his face.

She led him towards where Garfield and Jaime were standing in line and let go of him. It was a rocking pirate ship. "What is the point in this thing?" Damian decided to ask.

"Honestly, I don't know," Raven answered as both of them looked up above at the ride.

Eventually it was their turn and they were placed with a bunch of other people. "I feel like a sardine," Garfield spoke up across from them. Jaime chuckled at his joke, getting the true meaning behind his words.

Damian just sat as still as possible, waiting for the ride to start. Him and Raven were basically attached at the hip at the moment.

"What's your name?" A male voice asked from the other side of her. Damian turned his head to see a boy gawking at Raven, his eyes rarely leaving the sight of her thighs.
