Now I see |H.S.| ON HOLD

Chapter 8

Many Students leave the building some staying waiting for it to get later to attend the event. Cher and I gather our things from the table and exit the Hall of Residence. She seems very cheerful and excited. To tell the truth I feel the exact same way. I can't wait to go to this event. My face doesn't quite show it yet.

"Aren't you just excited? I cannot wait!" Cher speaks as we walk out. I take my wavy dark hair and pull it behind my ear. I look at her and nod. Should I act more excited? We walk to the Court Yard of Oxford where there are literally thousands of people. There is a sign that says 'Oxford Social Party' on it hanging in the air by arched balloons.

I see different booths and signs with attractions. Games, Raffles, Puzzles, Art, Music, etc. It is amazing. I feel more excited. My face gleaming now. there are allot of people. It reminds me of a fair without rides. "Oh My God!" I say smiling. "Lets go!" Cher says walking fast.

I have no idea how she has so much power to walk in those heels. How she has so much strength in her feet. I would be tired in them by now. I'm wearing wedges which is much more support than her shoes.        

We walk to the photo booth first. "Want to take pictures?" She ask. I nod with excitement. "Sure!" I say as we go to opposite sides of the photo booth. We slide in and I pull out my wallet. "No don't worry. I'll pay for it!" She says pulling out her wallet. "I can't let you do that!" I says as I Pull out 5 dollars. She quickly pulls out her credit card and swipes before I can slide the bill in.

"That money wouldn't have worked anyways" I look at my 5 dollar bill and notice that It is an American 5 dollar bill. Dammit.

We get ready for our first picture with a simple smile starting it off classy. "Lets stick our tongues out" I say. Cher laughs and nods.  We stick out our tongues. But Cher always adds her personality to things and does hers with a wink.

After that picture was taken we think of something quick... "How about hug?" cher says. I nod jumping into her lap. We laugh so hard the picture was taking with my hair flying up and me and Cher posing with our mouths open from laughing. We laugh at the picture. We think of one more pose for the final picture. We both just do a random pose. Cher does these duck lips while pulling her curly brown hair up. I put my hand over my mouth and pose as if someone was surprised. We laugh getting out of the photo booth.

"Oh my god. That was fun." I say. Walking over to where the pictures come out. Cher is giggling waiting for the pictures. Two copies come out. One for me and One for Cher. They came out Great. Cher looks beautiful like always.

I'm envious of her beauty. Its hard to say.I used to be envious of Jo's beauty. I guess I'm jealous of all my friends beauty. That is if Cher is my friend. I'm scared to ask her tho. That is just awkward and weird. 

That is just not something you ask someone after knowing them for less than a week. She does seem friend material. Which is amazing. I think Cher is amazing. I find nothing wrong with her at all.

"what shall we do next?" She says as we walk holding each our pictures. "Um how about that knock down the bottles game?" I say pointing at the booth with a low amount of people. "Okay, But I have terrible aim." We both laugh getting in line. Cher pulls out her wallet again and hands the man 5 dollars. I feel bad for not having any UK money and letting her pay for everything.

One I get Uk money I will Pay her back. So far I am at $10. The man hands each of us 10 balls. "Ready, Set, Go!" The man says causing both to throw like crazy. So far I hit 3 but used 5 balls and Cher hit 2 using 5 of her balls.

 At the end. I knock down 7 and Cher hit 5. The man Hands me a Huge giraffe probably the same size as me. I carry it but my arms are tired.

"Are you hungry?" Cher asks me. It is now 2:22 and I'm slightly craving a small snack.. We head to the area where there are food trucks and tables to sit at. I find us a table while Cher goes to get us food. I sit at the table and place the giraffe down. I can finally rest my arms.
