Sorry this took me so long, I've been busy with school as usual. So I'll probably keep writing during the week and posting on the weekends, if anyone was interested in knowing that lol. So towards the end of this chapter, you may think you know what's wrong, but it might not be that simple. The title is a song from the Uptown Girls soundtrack, which I'm listening to right now and it sorta fits this chapter at certain parts so I decided to use it.

The next morning when Paige woke up, she felt better so she decided to call Spinner, even though he had promised to call her later in the day.

"Hey baby." She said when he answered the phone.

"Hi honey. Feeling better?"

"Yea, much better."

"So do you want to do something later? We can go to that carnival."

"Sure, that's fine." Paige said, disinterestedly.

They worked out the rest of the details and then hung up.

As Paige got ready, styled her hair, and put on some makeup, she started to feel more like her normal confident self. By the time Spinner arrived, she was looking forward to their night out.

As Kayleigh walked into The Dot and glanced around she saw a few familiar faces from school, but not the one she was looking for. She scanned the room once more and spotted Craig at a table in the corner, looking through a book. She headed over, ready to work on their project.

"Hey Craig."

"Oh, Kayleigh, hi."

The waiter approached them as she sat down. He took their orders for burgers and Sprite, and then they started to work.

"Here's a list of some symptoms of depression and anxiety I found online." Kayleigh said as she handed the sheet to Craig.

He started to read from the list, "Loss of energy, decreased appetite, losing interest in normally enjoyable activities, increased sleeping..."

Kayleigh continued, "Difficulty concentrating, restlessness, irritable, feeling sad, anxious, hopeless or worthless."

"Yea, sounds like fun." Craig joked.

Kayleigh smiled weakly, out of politeness and then went back to reading.

At the carnival:

Paige and Spinner got out of his car and walked towards the carnival. They headed straight for 'The Zipper', which was the wildest ride there. You spun around like a ferris wheel while you were sitting in a bucket that was spinning at the same time in a different direction.

After they got off, Spinner looked a bit dizzy.

Paige said, "Aww, are you okay honeybee?" and then turned her head as she giggled.

"Yea, I think that's enough spinning for now though. Let's play a game."

They wandered around for a while more, playing a few games, and sharing a small bag of popcorn and some cotton candy.

"Ooh there's one more thing we have to do before we leave!" Paige exclaimed, pointing ahead of them.

"Paige, the goldfish game?!"

"It'll be fun, come on!"

"Alright, I'll win you a fish."

She kissed him on the cheek and they headed toward the goldfish booth.

The lady at the booth said, "3 balls for $1, just toss one into a bowl and you win a fish."

Spinner took a try and it bounced off the rim of the bowl.

"Alright, I've got it this time."

He took another shot and it ended up nowhere near the bowl.

"You're lucky that you're not the star basketball player!" Paige joked.

His third shot landed right in the bowl.

"Here ya go." The lady said, handing him a goldfish in a bag.

He handed the bag to Paige and she looked at the fish.

"Thanks honey," she said, "I think I'll name him Saige!"

"Saige? Why?"

"It's a combination of our names Spin!" she stated, "I know it's cheesy, but it's cute."

"Oh...okay." Spinner said, thinking it was sweet, but almost creepy.

Paige had regretted what she said. She meant it as a cute joke, but he didn't seem to take it that way.

'Oh well,' she though, 'Nothing can ruin my great mood tonight. I'm glad I decided to come.'

On the way back to Spinner's car, a bright yellow car caught Paige's eye. 'Dean!' was the first thought that entered her mind. She took a breath and decided she was overreacting. The she saw him get out of the car, and she gasped.

"What happened?" Spinner asked.

"Take me home!"

"Wha-?"

"Now! Take me home.....now Spin......please." She whispered.

"Okay, come on."

Once they were in the car and heading home, she told him what had happened.

"So do you wanna skip The Dot?" he asked.

"No, actually, it's okay, let's go there and get a burger."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure!" she snapped, "Let's just stop at my house to put Saige in a bowl."

After stopping home they headed to The Dot. As soon as they walked in they saw Craig and Kayleigh. Craig waved them over. A waiter came to take their order.

"I'll be right back." Kayleigh said, standing up, "I'm just going to the washroom."

"I'll come too." Paige said, also getting up.

As she looked in the mirror Paige sighed as she fixed her hair.

"Paige, are you sure you're okay? You've been acting kinda weird lately."

"How would you know?" Paige shot back, "You've only known me for like a week!"

"Sorry, it's just that...well for our project on depression and anxiety...you seemed to have some of

the symptoms."

Paige looked shocked, "Who are you to say what's wrong with me?" she shouted, "Mind your own business!"

Kayleigh was taken aback and just stayed quiet until Paige broke the silence, "I'm sorry, she began, "I didn't mean to get all defensive. It's just that I wouldn't want rumors like that spread about me. Besides, I'm so happy, what do I have to be depressed over?"

"Sorry," Kayleigh replied, "You're right. You know how people get after reading symptoms of things. I mean, I could diagnose just about everything with something that's completely untrue, like hoof and mouth disease!" she joked.

Both girls laughed and headed back to the table.
