Chapter 8 Carnival

"Summer! Where have you been all week! You aren't avoiding us are you?" Amelia asked coming up to the little group.

Summer smiled politely at her and muttered a no.

"So, how are you?" Amelia asked smiling at her.

"Fine, fine. You?"

"Fantastic! Oh my god! So John asked me out! Can you believe that, we are here together."

Summer nodded. "Well, listen I have to go, I'll see you later." Summer said to Amelia and dragged everyone off to a food stand.

"Wow, she is really annoying. Just like you said she was." Alex said looking at Marissa.

Marissa laughed, "she really is."

"I think she is just trying to be friends with you guys! What's wrong with that?" Lindsay asked, looking at Summer and Marissa.

"No, she isn't. She is using us to get more popular." Summer said shaking her head.

"I wouldn't say that, she really seems to like you guys."

"So! Where should we go first?" Seth asked interrupting the conversation.

"Anywhere is fine with me." Marissa said looking around the Carnival.

"I will go anywhere too, as long as it isn't going around in circles!" Summer said with a smile.

"I ditto that!" Alex said glancing at Summer.

"Well, see I want to go on a spinney ride!" Marissa said looking at her girlfriend pouting.

"Go with Ryan and Seth, they seem to want to go over there." Alex said pointing at the guys retreating backs.

"Ok." Marissa said going over to catch up with them.

Summer and Alex went over to get something to eat when they heard a 'wait up'.

Summer rolled her eyes but waited for her to catch up as they headed towards the hot dog stand.

"So, Summer how are you feeling? Not sick I hope." Lindsey asked laughing as they waited in line.

Alex snorted but didn't say anything and Summer shook her head. "I'm fine, how are you?"

"Great, really excited I'm glad you guys invited me." Lindsey said smiling at them.

Alex and Summer shared a look before ordering their food and paying for it. Lindsey tagged along behind them not getting anything just watching them eat. As Summer shoved a handful of fries in her mouth and gulped some coke down, she noticed Lindsey gapping at her.

"How can you eat that and not gain anything?" she asked amazed.

"She's bulimic. Shh don't tell." Alex said smirking as she ate her own hot dog.

"Really? It's really dangerous Summer." Lindsey said believing her as she said this though she didn't notice Summers usually tan face going greener and greener.

"So, Summer how long—" but Lindsey was cut off as Summer threw up all over her shoes.

"Oh my god!" Lindsey yelled staring at her new shoes.

Summer put a hand to her mouth and struggled to breath. Her throat felt like dry acid, and it hurt when she swallowed, she felt like she couldn't breath. She gasped for water and Alex obliged, thrusting a glass of water in her face. Summer greedily drank it as Lindsey still looked at her now ruined shoes.

"What is the matter with you!" Lindsey yelled glaring at Summer.

Summer drank her water and as she started to feel a little better she answered the girl. "I'm sorry." Summer said hanging her head and really meaning it. "I'm still sick I guess."

"And you will be for a long time." Alex muttered having heard the whole story from Marissa.

Summer shot her a look then turned her head to look at Lindsey. "I'm sorry, really I am, how much were the shoes?"

"They were expensive!" Lindsey whined almost on the verge of tears.

"I'm sorry!" Summer said for the third time and almost losing patience. "I'm just still sick!"

"you are going to pay for these!" Lindsey yelled as angry tears spilled down her face.

Summer got up and took a deep breath standing in front of the taller girl. "Listen, I'll pay for them, no doubt, how much were they?"

"55 dollars!" Lindsey cried.

"I'll go get napkins." Alex muttered as she eyed 3 familiar heads coming in the distance. "They're back." Alex muttered in Summers ear as she tried to calm Lindsey who was becoming angrier and angrier.

"You are ruining my life!" Lindsey cried as Summer starred at her in horror.

"How many times can I say sorry!" Summer cried her hormones starting to get worked up.

"Until you mean it!" Lindsey said trying to whip tears from her face.

"I really am, I didn't mean too, but you try holding throw up in." Summer said crossing her arms and feeling genuinely sorry.

"What happened?" Seth asked as he sat Lindsey's shoes.

"Summer got sick." Alex said her hands filled with napkins.

"Ew." Marissa said staring at Lindsey's shoes.

"I said I was sorry." Summer cried.

"But your not! You hate me and I don't understand it!" Lindsey cried.

Summer looked hopelessly at the group and shook her head. "I have to go, here's 50 dollars, it's all I have." Summer said throwing some dollar bills at Lindsey and walking off into the dark parking lot.

As Summer walked away and they all looked after her Lindsey whipped her eyes and smiled at the group.

"So, how was the ride, what do you want to go on next?" she said going over to stand between Alex and Ryan.

Ryan stared at where Summer had gone to and sighed. "I have to go talk to Summer." he muttered leaving the group and running after his girlfriend.

"Summer wait up!" Ryan yelled running after her.

She turned around to see him face to face with her. "What?" Summer said miserably.

"I'm sorry about Lindsey, I didn't know she'd be so..."

"Annoying? Fake? Bitchy?"

Ryan raised an eyebrow at her and Summer stopped.

"I'm sorry, I'm just...moody. I'm going to go try going home or something. I think I have to think over this whole...us thing...and you me and a baby thing too." Summer said sighing and running a hand through her brown hair.

"Summer, I like you a lot, I know surprising." Ryan smiled as she hit him.

"I know that us having a kid is...surprising too. But this summer I had a lot of fun. I'm not saying we should get married or anything cause that's TOO fast, but you could probably stay with me. Or something." Ryan said struggling to find words to say to her.

Summer smiled softly at him. "I don't want you to marry or be with me just because I have a baby, Ryan. I like you too." She said tears in the corners of her eyes.

Ryan looked at her alarmed. "Why are you crying?"

Summer laughed hugging him. "I hate hormones." she muttered burring her head in his chest. "Just promise me that if I'm getting annoying or anything then tell me. And if you don't want to do this warn me. Oh and also don't just be with me because I'm having a baby." Summer said quietly, not wanting to force him into doing something.

Ryan nodded and hugged her closer. "I promise." He muttered not particularly wanting to go back to the others waiting at the carnival.

"Good." Summer muttered closing her eyes not wanting to move either.

(A/n: how was it after my little break from this story. I hope people still like it. I know Lindsey may be a little bitcher then usual and Ryan might be a little differe, AND Summer might not be as...summery as usual. but I'm trying to get back in the groove of them. thankx for reading)
