The second we're able to leave the Mosasaurus show, Jenna takes my left hand in her right and drags me out. But, she doesn't let me go then, she continues pulling me down Main St. I can see the gigantic Mosasaurus in the lagoon. She finished her meal, now she's just having fun. If you can call swimming in circles around a lagoon day after day, fun. Especially since it is to her what a fishbowl is to a goldfish, except she can't shrink to make the space seem bigger.

"Oof!"

My body swings into someone's, but I don't have the ability to stop and see if they're okay so I tilt my head back as far as it'll go and shout:

"Sorry!"

I can't see where we're heading, the crowd's too thick, which is making me even more upset with Jenna since she's taken away any and all control I have over my balance and limbs.

"Jenna!" My right hand slams into someone's side and it snaps backward. I don't know who the blow hurt more, me or the other guy, but Jenna won't let me stop to find out. "Oh my god! Jenna! What the fuck is your problem?!"

That makes her stop.

She whips her head around and glares at me. Her short dark hair is swept back now, no thanks to the force of her over dramatic turn. She walks calmly over to me, but I can see heat waves radiating off her footsteps. She's out for blood.

"First," she says calmly, "stop swearing. There are kids here and you don't have a good enough reason to."

I bite down on my tongue. Hard.

"Second," she continues. "My problem? What's your problem? I'm taking you to see the fight of the century. No. Of the millennium, and you're whining? How very childish of you."

I wait for a moment to make sure she's finished. She doesn't go on, so I go off.

"My reason to swear was to get your attention and it worked and, in my book, that qualifies as more than a good enough reason." I'm surprisingly calm for someone who's about to spontaneously combust. "And if I'm whining, it's only because you have me acting like your personal human sized baseball bat back here and it hurts and I have no idea if the people I'm running into are even okay. And where in the world are you taking me to? What fight of the century?"

A devilish smirk spreads across Jenna's face and as she steps back, she slowly lifts her left arm up, pointing at something up ahead of us.

That's when I see it.

PACHY ARENA

"No." I say without a moment's hesitation. "No. Absolutely not. Never." She looks at me with puppy dog eyes, but I'm not going to break. I am stone. "You know how I feel about animal cruelty. I'm not going in there."

"But they're dinosaurs, Annie!" Jenna begs. "It'll be like watching UFC fight, but a million times more awesome!"

"I don't care," I say simply. "You're not dragging me in there." I turn around a start walking back down Main St., but someone bumps into me. Since I'm no longer attached to Jenna, I can look up and see who it is this time.

Holy shit.

The guy from the Mosasaurus show.

Mosasaurus guy!

Mo boy!

"Sorry," he mumbles. His lips curl up into a smile.

Holy shit.

That is the most adorable smile I've ever seen in my entire life! Is he even real?!

Speak Annie!

"It's my bad," I say hastily. I can feel my cheeks growing warm. Pull it together Annie. Be cool.

He shakes his head. His dark hair ruffles with each turn and it slides across his forehead. "Definitely my fault. I wasn't paying attention," he laughs lightly and shows me his phone in his right hand.

I smile and lower my head. I don't really know what to say now.

"Are you okay?"

I look back up at him. He has blue eyes. Petrifyingly deep blue.

Does he have a map? Cause I'm getting lost in his eyes.

I nod confidently. "No breaks, no blood, no discoloration. Totally fine." I honestly don't know how I'm playing it so cool. I'm screaming internally.

"Okay," he laughs, but a little uneasy. "Take care."

He turns and walks over to his little brother who's waiting for him not too far away. He nods to his left and gestures for him to follow. The kid jogs over to him and falls into step, but not before glancing back at me, raising his camera, and snapping a picture. His older brother smacks the camera away and pulls his brother into a headlock, but I know he got the shot.

"Hello? Ground control to Major Tom. Do you read me Major Tom?"

I roll my eyes. "Do you have to quote Space Oddity every time I space out?"

"Yes," Jenna nods. "Every single time. It's in the best friend rulebook."

I laugh, but it's slightly distant since I'm still watching the brothers.

"What were you thinking about anyway?" Jenna asks.

I don't reply. I stopped paying attention again.

The brothers are heading in the direction we were. The exact same direction.

I start walking toward the Pachy Arena.

"Um," Jenna pauses before following me. "Annie? What are you doing? I thought you said no?"

"I did," I nod. "Then I changed my mind." I shoot her a side glance and a wink.

Jenna furrows her eyebrows. "Okay..." She shakes her head and links her right arm with my left and throws her left out ahead of us. "Onward!"

I laugh.

That's right. Play it cool. Don't act like you're heart is racing because you ran into a cute boy. Nope. I'm definitely chill. The chillest.

Yep.
