"I hope this summer will be as good as the last one." my friend Stella was saying. We were sitting in the library, waiting for her boyfriend Brandon to come and pick her up.

"Yeah, I'm just sad that all the guys we met needed to go back home. And Brandon was the only one living here." Bloom said and sighed.

"Maybe you could ask him if they could come here again?" Musa smirked and and I looked up from the book that I was reading.

"I, um... Are you sure that is a good idea?" I asked quietly and all heads turned towards me.

"Why? You don't want to see 'him' again?" Layla asked me and I sighed, remembering the last summer...

11 MONTHS EARLIER

We were all on a Festival in our city. It was a huge deal, and it for sure had a reason for its popularity. It was beautiful. It had a bunch of different rides, roller coasters... everything. I wasn't really the type that goes on all that kinda stuff, but Stella really wanted to go, and by that, I meant I was forced to go with her.

"So. Where should we go first?" Layla asked while looking around.

"I don't know, just please, nothing too crazy." I said while sipping on my soda.

"How about we go on a roller coaster of death?" Stella asked, smiling from ear to ear while pointing at the huge ride in front of us.

"Did you not hear what I just said?" I asked and she giggled.

"Oh common! Let's go! When we finish this ride, I promise, you can choose the rest." I just sighed and nodded. After about half an hour of waiting in line, we finally got to the seats.

"I see empty spaces, but we will need to go alone." Tecna said while pointing at 7 spots left. Each part of the ride had 2 seats, and all of the empty ones were next to someone.

"Forget it. If I get freaked out, I need to hold someones hand." I said and started walking away, but Bloom stopped me.

"If we don't do this, Stella will be bugging us for the rest of the night." she whispered and I nodded. They all happily ran to the spots, leaving 2 places left.

"Where should I..." I whispered to myself when someone pushed me.

"Oh common, just hurry up already!" a random kid yelled at me and sat down, leaving me one space left.

"Whatever." I said as I sat down and looked at the guy sitting next to me. I stared for a few seconds, but then snapped out of it and got my safety belt on.

"I'm sorry." I whispered to my shin, looking down on my hands.

"For what?" he asked and I looked back at him. He was smiling. He had beautiful dark blue hair, short on the front and long from behind. He had light blue eyes, and he was quite pale.

"Um, nothing. I just... I don't know..." I wanted to shut up so bad but I just couldn't. I sighed and he laughed.

"Are you scared?" he asked and I nodded.

"Well, maybe you would feel a little better if you were sitting with one of your friends. Do you want me to exchange seats with one of them?" he asked nicely and I nodded.

" Yes please." I said and as he started to unbuckle his safety belt, the coaster started moving.

"Too late I guess." he said and I sighed.

"By the way, I'm Helia." he said and I just kept looking in front of us. Bloom was in the next row, with someone with blonde hair.

"Flora." I whispered as the ride began going faster.

"Beautiful name." he said and smiled again.

"Thank y-" I started my sentence but the ride got to a place where it was supposed to go down. Straight down. Without thinking, I grabbed his hand and closed my eyes. Trough out the whole ride, I kept holding his hand. When the ride finished, I finally opened my eyes.

"I'm so sorry." I said as I let go of his hand and unbuckled my belt. I got up and started walking to my friends.

"It's alright." he said and I turned around to see him right behind me.

"No, it really isn't." I said and smiled awkwardly.

"Helia, there you are!" someone yelled behind me. I turned around to see Stella with a guy. He was a little taller than her, he had beautiful dark brown hair and a sharp yaw line.

"Hey." Helia answered and smiled.

"Awesome ride." the guy continued and got closer to us.

"Oh, hi, I'm Brandon." he said and I smiled.

"Flora." I replied and we shook hands.

"Oh, Brandon, she is one of my friends I just mentioned." Stella said and winked at me.

"Which one? Since you didn't really use names?" he said and she giggled.

"I don't really understand what is going on." I said and they both looked at me.

"Oh, Brandon was sitting next to me on the ride." she said and I nodded. We all met eachother. Brandon had 5 friends with him, including Helia. I could see they were nice guys, but when Stella suggested to jut separate into two, I wanted to refuse. We didn't know them! But I couldn't say anything, It would of turned out rude. So I walked a little with Helia, not saying much.

"So, what do you like?" he asked me in the middle of silence.

"Oh, um, well, arts." I said and he giggled.

"I see you're a little shy." he said and I felt my cheeks burning.

"I don't really know how to respond to that." I smiled and he laughed.

"You're quite something." he added and I looked at him confused.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"No no, It's a good thing." he said and I nodded with a smile. We kept talking and talking for hours! I understood that he was a nice guy and he wanted to listen to what I was saying. We had a lot in common, and above all, I found him quite attractive. I couldn't believe that I randomly sat next to him on a roller coaster. He was... perfect.

"We have enough time for just one more ride, since it's 1am soon and the Festival is closing then." he said and I nodded.

"What about that one? It seems calm." I pointed at the ride called 'Around and around the world'.

"Um... it's a couples ride." I started blushing as he told me that.

"Oh, um, I'm sorry." I said and he leaned in to kiss me. I wasn't expecting it but oh boy was I happy he did it. I wrapped my arms around him and we kept kissing for a few minutes.

"I'm so sorry, I don't normally kiss a girl right when I meet her." he said when we stopped.

"It's alright. I know this might sound crazy and I understand if you run away now but I truly feel a connection." he placed his hands on my waist and kissed my cheek.

"I feel it too." he whispered in my ear which caused me to shiver. We got in a ride and sat all the way back. There was not a lot of people on the ride, since it was quite late.

"Last ride for tonight, buckle up." the man working there said and I did as I was told. The ride was slow and relaxing. Helia placed his hand on my knee. I... I wanted him. It was the first time I felt that way... So I... I placed my hand on his and moved it on my upper thigh. He looked at me shocked but I ignored it. I kept moving it until his hand was right on my underwear. I never did something like that, but he made me feel so... different. As soon as I moved his hand, I knew that I would regret it later. I didn't want him to think of me as a slut, but I sure looked like one at that point. He leaned next to me so he could whisper in my ear.

"Are you sure?" I just nodded and he moved away. His hand slowly entered me. First just with the tip of one finger, and after a while, it got to three. I moaned quietly, trying not to get unwanted attention. As the ride started slowing down, he moved his hand back and I closed up my legs, as tight as I could. I looked at him and he smiled at me. I kissed him and the ride stopped...

"FLORA DO YOU HEAR ME?" I heard Stellas' voice and looked up.

"What?" I asked confused.

"My question was why don't you want Brandon to call them?"

"B... Because... I don't know, we met them for a day, and then they just got back home. Wouldn't it be awkward?" all the girls laughed at me.

"Get over your self. Brandon is gonna invite them back." Stella smiled.

"... Great." I sighed and closed the book in front of me.
