A/N: Wow, thanks guys! It all means so much to me. (:
Here's the next chapter of the one-shot saga. EnJoY
The aroma of cotton candy and sticky seats filled the air. Every sound – the screams, the bells, the clicking of foot steps – collided with this. No movement was to be known outside of this barrier, no sound or smell. The rest of the world was out of the picture. As hundreds of people walked up and down the pavement, you knew exactly where you were.
This was in fact, an amusement park.
"What are you implying?" I asked, accusingly toward Adam and Eli.
"I'm not implying anything, I'm just," He paused, searching for the right words. "Mentioning the fact that you're a chicken." A smirk lay across his face.
By now, I was infuriated with these two boys. I knew they would never let this go, until proved wrong.
"Just because I refuse ride a roller coaster, does not make me a chicken." I retorted, resting my hands on my hips.
"Fine." Adam compromised, "If we all ride what Clare wants, we'll, then, ride what Eli and Adam want." I didn't understand why Adam talked in the 'Third Person' as much as he did.
I contemplated my choices, and of course, chose the latter.
"Okay. To the Ferris Wheel it is." I smiled, and started walking forward. I heard aloud sigh and/or moan from both of them.
"Really, Clare? The Ferris Wheel?" Eli whined, unmoving.
"What are you, five?" Adam added, annoyed. "I'm not riding that."
"Then, I'm not riding that." I spoke, victoriously setting my weight on one hip, and pointing to the giant beast ahead of us.
The bells of nearby game rung and around the corner came to grumpy looking teenagers.
I giggled, and shook my head knocking off the idea.
"What is it, Edwards?" Eli asked, anxiously waiting.
I had tried pushing the thought a way, but now it kept reappearing in my head.
"Well…" I trailed, shuffling my feet back and forth. Eli and Adam raised their eye brows, while shifting closer.
"Spit it out!" Adam yelled. I loved the look of anticipation.
I shot a quick glance at the two boys, now trying a different game. One of them possessed blonde hair, the same length as Eli's, and blue eyes. The other was a brunette with brighter blue eyes then the blonde. The brunette looked my way, and I smiled. I turned back to Eli and Adam.
Adam held a dumb-founded expression, still oblivious. Eli knew what I had up my sleeve, and opened his mouth to object. Before he could speak, I threw my hand in the air, waving it franticly.
"Hey guys!" I screamed, capturing the attention of the two other boys. Their heads snapped up, and I started walking towards them.
As I made it over, I leaned again the counter. I tried flirting my best, not sure if it was working.
"Would you two want to ride a couple of rides with me? My friends over there," I pointed quickly in Adam and Eli's direction. "Are a little scared." I bit my lip, looking innocent. They both exchanged glances, before switching back to me.
"We wouldn't want you to be lonely, now, won't we?" The blonde asked, while the brunette looked me up and down.
"No, you wouldn't." I replied, giving a smile. I giggled, and started headed towards the Ferris Wheel with….the two boys.
We stopped right next to the ride, and I proceeded to speak, "You don't mind if it's this, right?" I gazed up at them shyly, and swallowed.
"No, of course not! Ferris Wheels are great!" The blonde said, trying to 'cheer' me up.
"For a lot of things." The brunette muttered under his breathe, and the blonde smacked him upside the head. I pretended that I didn't see anything. Duping these two was a lot easier then I thought.
We stepped in line and waited for our turn. Familiar figures appeared a few people behind us.
"Clare!" Eli spoke, surprised. Adam rested his hands on his hip.
"We didn't expect you to be here! How ironic!" Adam said, cheery.
I rolled my eyes, and scoffed at the two of them.
"You know these guys?" The brunette asked, slightly disgusted.
"No, I don't." I answered bluntly. I really wished Eli and Adam could've rode this with me 10 minutes earlier. It'd be so much easier.
"Oh, Clare, don't be ridiculous. Were like best-friends." Eli explained to the brunette. "Why don't we ride with you?" He added.
"There's not enough room." I retorted harshly.
"What? No. The sign says up to 6 people." Adam pointed each of us, counting. "And look at that! There's five of us!" I groaned as we were all ushered onto the ride.
;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
I said my goodbyes to the other boys after the ride, and quickly changed my expression downward as they were out of sight.
"Aw, Clare, don't be sad. That was pretty fun!" Adam told me, patting my back.
"Yeah, I never knew Ferris Wheel's could hold such an awesome time." Eli put in, and I flicked his head.
He rubbed the spot I had hit, "Oh, you were just jealous." I said, and Adam sighed at our flirting.
"Please, Clare. You didn't even know those guy's names." Eli stated, turning toward me. He smirked his…smug…smirk.
"Your point exactly?" I challenged, and giggled. We stared at each other smiling until Adam broke the silence, "Well," He clapped his hands together, "Now that we rode that, lets ride the coaster." Eli agreed and they started walking off.
"I'm still not riding that." I said. Eli moaned, and they both turned around to face me. Adam gave me 'are-you-serious' look. Eli took a couple steps towards me, inches, centimeters, from my face.
"Not even for a kiss?" He said softly. His voice was much deeper then before.
"Well…." I leaned closer, building the tension myself. "No."
I brushed passed Eli and gave Adam a high-five.
