it’s the color of your face,” Trent said as he too, helped Max to sit
down.
Max shrugged “Go on the roller coaster
they tell me. It’ll be fun they tell me.”
Mena rolled her eyes “Stop being a
baby, it was fun.”
Demi came and sat next to me “Kira this
idea was brilliant. How did you come up with it?”
I was shocked at her nice tone. She was
hardly ever flat out nice. “I don’t know. It was just…needed.” I looked to Jay
as I said it and his eyes connected to mine in shared experiences.
“Well regardless of the fact that we
are all at least ten years too old and completely overdressed,” Demi continued
“it’s the most fun I had in a while.”
It was true. Demi was in a cute dress,
Annabella was in her designer labeled jeans and blouse, and heck, I was in a
skirt, but no one really seemed to care.
“Same for me,” Annabella added.
“Besides, kids today don’t know what they’re doing, they need us to show ‘ em how it’s done.”
Trent looked to Brandon and said “Bumper Cars?”
“You know I’m down.” Brandon replied. Then he looked to me “Kira,
you gonna finish that?”
I’d only managed half of it and was
full. I handed him the plate “It’s all yours. Also, I want in on the bumper
cars.”
“Me too.” Logan said.
“Let’s hit it, then” Jay added and we
all went for it. Even Max tagged along to watch.
Chapter 8
Kira
Three Hours later, the park employees
had to kick us out as the lights shut off and the park closed. They held it open
longer than they were supposed to anyway just for us when a basketball
shoot-out between Brandon and Will ended in tie after tie. Finally, during the
fourth rematch Will had won.
As a result, Demi now held a huge pink
gorilla under her arm. It matched the purple one and the green one I got from
winning at the squirt gun game, twice. Everyone was shocked when I won the
first time and the guys were too competitive for their own good. Thus, after
participating in the insisted rematch, I won again. I wasn’t about to tell them
that spells required you to have amazingly precise aim and focus, so I just
enjoyed my victories with a mysterious smile.
I ended up giving the purple one to
Mena when she and Annabella played Rock, Paper, Scissors for it. That surprised
me that Annabella thought she could beat Mena at a tactical game because I’d
gotten to know Mena a little and she was amazing at that type of thing. When I
said as much Annabella shrugged “I’ve beat her at it before.” She put an arm
around Mena, “she may be smart but I’m unpredictable.” Mena smiled saying “It’s
true, I really did win that out of luck, although I usually add other elements
to make it more challenging but simple works too.”
Overall we had eaten too much, or at
least I had, it didn’t seem to affect anyone else to eat mass amounts of junk
food. On top of the Elephant Ears, we had hot dogs, popcorn, pretzels and even
cotton candy. As per our agreement, Jay paid for mine, grumbling ineffectually
about cheating and never going easy on me again. As per a new unspoken
agreement, Brandon ate half of whatever I ordered. He was
always hungry and I was too full so it worked out nicely.
In the end we had ridden The Green
Thing, the others, minus Max, rode it again for us, along with almost every
other roller coaster in the park. Max and Logan hit the arcade most of the
night allowing them to remain intact.
Now we hung around the parking lot,
figuring out our next plans. “We could hit up that twelve year olds birthday
party, after party.” Brandon quipped.
“We would but I don’t think you’re
invited anymore after you almost crushed him into the wall with your bumper
car.” I joked.
“Yeah,” Annabella added “I don’t think
you’d want to run into his little sister again, she did crush you
against the wall.”
Logan smiled and shook his head “Six year
olds today, man.”
“Yeah, yeah. Shut it.” Brandon whined and we all
down.
Max shrugged “Go on the roller coaster
they tell me. It’ll be fun they tell me.”
Mena rolled her eyes “Stop being a
