Saturday came faster than I thought. Before I knew it, I was waking up at 11 and sitting in my living room with my pj's on. I loved the weekends because you get to do nothing at all, I'm very lazy. I turned on this show on Disney Channel about these 2 guys and a vampire friend who fought an evil dog. Don't ask me what the hell I was watching, it was either that or the Baby Story. And we all know how that story STARTS (wink wink) [a.n. the show Alexa is watching is My Babysitter's A Vampire. The show is so stupid, but I love it anyway].

Suddenly, I heard a knock on my door. I groaned and got up to answer it. I opened the door to see Jo standing at my doorway smiling like a Looney. I growled at her happiness on a weekend, but she just shook it away, still smiling.

"Guess you just got us a double date to the carnival today?" before I could answer, Jo jumped up and down screaming "Me! Me!"

"Why did you get us a double date, and who are the suckers- I mean 'lucky gentlemen'?"

"I don't know why, but its Kendall, Carlos, Logan, and James!"

"So you're telling me that it's a triple date, and two of them are gay?" I was so confused about all this, but she tried to convince me about what she wanted to do.

"No! No one is gay! But, it's technically not a date! I just thought it would be nicer if I called it that!"

"So, it's basically 6 people hanging out?"

"Yeah, pretty much."

"How did you get them to ask you?"

"Well, James came over to me and said that Kendall said that he had a great time with you the other day. Then I said that you thought it was fun too. That's when James asked if I wanted to go to the carnival today and I said yeah. Then Carlos and Logan walked over and were like 'What? No pretty girls for us?' and then I came up with the idea of all of us going as friends."

"And when was this?"

"5 minutes ago." Her grin grew from ear to ear. I signed knowing that I couldn't have my relaxing Saturday that I treasure for.

"Ok, what time are we leaving?"

"2 hours from now. The carnival is starting now, but we decided to leave later than it started so it isn't that crowded."

"You mean, you and the guys decided, while I was just informed now."

"Yeah, pretty much." I smiled at my weird friend and I invited her in so we can pick out our outfits. We are both the same size in shirts and jeans, but she had to borrow my mom's shoes. However, she didn't seem to mind that much. After deciding what to wear, I chose a teal tube top with denim shorts and my silver slippers. Jo chose a mango loose fitting top with skinny jeans and gold slippers like mine. We both curled our hair and applied make-up, but not too much. After 50 minutes of getting ready, we finally got a chance to look at ourselves in the mirror completely.

"Damn, we look hot!" I joked with her and we both laughed. I left a note for my mom on the table saying that we are going to the carnival and we should be back by 10. After that, we walked out and towards the carnival. I texted Kendall saying that we were ready. He soon texted back with a smiley face, which made my smile too.

We waited for them to come, and before I knew it, Jo pointed to the entrance and in came the boys. I waved over at them so they knew where we were. Kendall spotted me and motioned the others to follow him towards us. Jo was hyperventilating as she saw Kendall walk to us as if in slow motion. Finally we greeted each other and walked into the carnival. We sort of paired off into groups of two. It was Kendall and Jo (I was happy for her, her grin was huge), Carlos and me, and Logan and James [a.n. NO JAGAN INTENDED!].

I walked around with Carlos for a while, getting to know him a bit. It turns out that he loves corndogs, loves hockey, and hates thieves. We laughed for a while, then I wanted to go on the Tilt A Whirl ride really badly. He was uneasy at first, but gave in when I pulled out my secret weapon, the puppy dog eyes.

"Ok, we both have to lean to one side and spin the wheel in one direction, ok?"

"Alright, but if I get sick, I'm blaming you." I gave him a devilish smile and the track started.

"Lean!" I screamed in a voice that mimicked Isabella from Phineas and Ferb. I suddenly felt his weight on my shoulder as we were both squished by something/someone. I was laughing like crazy, and Carlos did the same. After the ride, we both decided on the bumper cars. We called up everyone else and told them that we were going to have a bumper car competition. We waited by the gate until Kendall, Jo, James, some girl, Logan, and… Amanda came. Wait… Amanda?

"Hey, Amanda, how did you get here? I thought you were with your dad this week?" Jo asked the mysteriously appearing Amanda.

"My mom told me I couldn't go, so I decided to come here with another one of my friends," she said, pointing to the unknown girl. "Guys, this is GiGi. GiGi, this is Kendall, Carlos, Jo, and Alexa."

"It's nice meeting you all," GiGi said sweetly.

"You too," we all said in unison.

"Well, we were just going to ride the bumper cars, you two wanna join?" I asked Amanda and GiGi. They both nodded their head yes and we all got into separate cars but in the same groups as before. Amanda was with Logan, James was with GiGi, I was with Carlos, and Kendall was with Jo. The buzzer went off and it was time to ride. Me and Carlos were on a roll, we bumped almost every one of them at least twice.

James and GiGi were stuck in a corner, trying to get out. Logan and Amanda were right behind me and Carlos the whole time. And Kendall was just cruising along, not hitting anyone. That was annoying the little competitive girl next to him though.

"What are you doing? Everyone is bumping you!" Jo complained. We all laughed and before we knew it, our time was up and it was getting late. But we all went on one last ride, thought. The Ferris Wheel. In the same groups as before, we all got into the carts. But we decided that two pairs should go into on cart so it saved room. so it was me and Carlos with Kendall and Jo, and Amanda and Logan with GiGi and James.

At first it was quiet, but when it started to move, I jumped slightly. Carlos looked down at me and smiled.

"There's nothing to worry about," he said. "I'm right here." I smiled up at him and nodded my head.

"Thanks." I looked over at the view, and it was beautiful. The lights just went on, but the sun wasn't set yet. So it gave the whole carnival a florescent glow. As I looked out at the lovely sight, I felt something around my back and touching my shoulder. I turned to see Carlos' arm was wrapped around me. I gave him a questioning look, but he just smiled.

"I thought you needed more protection, that's all." He started to lift his arm up from behind me, when I grabbed onto it and nestled my head into his chest. I wasn't going to lie, it felt good. It was like I belonged there, in his chest, forever. And plus it was almost 10 and I didn't get my Saturday afternoon nap, so I'm going to want to cuddle with anything!

We stopped at the top of the Ferris wheel and I felt my back starting to tingle. The height we were at was freaking me out! I am petrified of heights, so don't ask me why I wanted to go on a huge Ferris wheel! I tried to purposely not look outside of the cart and I focused my attention on the ground.

"Hey," Carlos asked me. I still didn't look up, but I gave him a quick glance to let him know I heard him. "You ok?"

"Yeah, defiantly. Why ask something like that?"

"Well, either you're checking the floor out, or you don't want to look out the window."

"Well, it has been flirting with me for the last 5 minutes." I said, still looking at the floor. He laughed at my joke that I greatly thought of (thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week).

"Look at me," I shook my head no, but that's when Carlos lifted my head up to face him. When I looked up at Carlos, I caught a glimpse of the outside and I freaked out again. I yelped and covered my head in my hands. He signed and turned back around to face the front. He laid his head back against the seat and looked up at the top of the cart.

I instantly thought of a horrible memory…

I went to New York for the week with my mom for my 10th birthday. My gift was that I could do anything I wanted, and I wanted to go to the top of the Empire State Building. My mom was uneasy with the whole "going to the top" thing, but I convinced her that it would be fun.

We get onto the elevator and I pushed the last button to the top. I felt the weight in my body sift to my feet as the elevator rose from floor to floor. We finally reached the top, when I felt my body lift off the ground. I then felt like I was floating, like all my weight now was in my head. I soon felt very dizzy and went to lean on the railing. But little did I know that the railing wasn't a good level for me. I slipped and feel into a sitting position, my feet dangling off the edge. I screamed for dear life, trying not the let go. My mom called security to try and get me up.

I felt the shaking again and screamed. Carlos, Jo, and Kendall turned to face me with shocked eyes. I found myself breathing heavy and tear streaming down my cheek. "Get me off this thing!" I demanded.

"We are almost off," Kendall tried to convince me, but it didn't work.

"I need to get off now! I can't be on here anymore." The tears came faster and harder this time. Kendall and Jo both got up to sit next to me, but I stopped them. "No! Don't move! You might fall!"

"We aren't going to fall." Kendall said. "Are you ok?"

"No, I need to get off this building!"

"What building?" Carlos asked worried. "You're sort of freaking me out, Alexa."

"I'm sorry, but I have to get off."

"We are almost off, I promise." Kendall said. "Why do you want to get off though?"

"I don't want it to happen again." I frantically said.

"What to happen again?" Jo asked.

"Fall." I suddenly felt all of their arms around me in one group hug.

"We will never let you fall." Carlos said, and I smiled. Finally, we got to the ground and all I wanted to do was get on my hands and knees and kiss the floor. But I didn't want to be seen as any more of a psycho than I already am. So instead, I walked off the ride as cool as possible.
