Hey guys... -_-' so i know its been FOREVER since i updated... AND I AM SO SORRY! I lost my story and am loath to rewrite anything. normally i would have just given up on this story. Anyways I'm going to try and updat atleast once a month or so. No more almost a year inbetweens. As always please review to let me know how i'm doing as this is my first ever story on fanfic. ^^
Turns out I was right about the time thing. We didn't leave till about 8:30. Sher didn't even try to make conversation with me after she saw me open my book. One of the benefits of being friends for so long is that she knows book time means NO talkie. Most people would get offended and say I was ignoring them; Ashera merely blinked and found someone else to talk to. Gawd I love that girl.
"Amara!" Sher called while shaking my shoulder.
My head snapped up and I sent a death glared at her. What the hell did she want? Then, I noticed that the bus was still and my gaze immediately turned apologetic. She just rolled her eyes and told me make sure I had everything I wanted to take into the park. If you haven't noticed by now I have quite a temper and can get angry very easily. I'm in no way near perfect and sometimes I can be mean, but Sher never faults me for any of it. If she feels I'm being too bitchy she'll chew me out and tell me to quote, "calm the fuck down."
Getting off the air-conditioned bus was like taking my first step into hell. The sun was BLAZING and I just knew I was gonna get an effin tan. It was at times like this that I cursed the fact that black is my fave color. Once everybody was off they started handing out tickets and told us we had to meet back up front at 7. It was 10:30-ish so that meant we were free for a good eight hours.
Sher and I were a duo so we said later to our friends after we got our tickets and headed towards a gate. It took her longer to get searched than it did for me. Sher was carrying a huge bag that had everything you would ever need at a theme park in it. All I had was a backpack filled with a towel, some deodorant, lotion, a ginormous bottle of water (it's expensive as shit here), my book, and my wallet. Once I slung my backpack back on I spotted an ice cream place with my name on it. Sher would catch up eventually so I quickly made my way to the cold yummy goodness.
"Where you think you going?" Sher yelled running up beside me with her bag in tow.
"Ima go to that Ice Cream thing" I said pointing towards it.
"Oooooh no" Sher laughed grabbing my arm and pulling me in the opposite direction. "We getting on the Dominator"
Fuck. Me. Sideways.
I'd been on the Dominator before with her and I did not want to get on it again. It's the type of roller coaster where your legs dangle and this bar thing is put over your chest and hooks in at your crotch. The better to twist and turn you I guess. I could already see the purple and yellow tracks looping through the sky. Holy Jesus somebody save me…
"Don't worry," Ashera said with an evil grin. "you'll be fine."
I promptly told her to go fuck herself.
The line was super long and it said we were at the 45 minute wait section. Fan-freaking-tastic. I decided the best way to deal with my situation was to pretend like I wasn't there. Denial was better than crushing my pride by running away screaming like a 4 year old at the doctors. (I did that once… me no likey shots)
"I love this ride!" Sher gushed enthusiastically
She continued to prattle on about how much fun we were going to have but I could already feel my palms getting clammy. I looked up to see we only had a 15 minute wait left and my breath hitched. Where the hell did the time go? I gnawed at my lower lip. The reality was setting in. A quick turn of the head confirmed my suspicion of no escape; it was too crowded.
"Don't you DARE think about running away" Ashera whispered threateningly.
"I'm not" I lied, in a barely audible voice.
Sher was obviously not convinced. She grabbed my hand then grimaced at how sweaty it was. Screams. I could hear them and they were doing nothing to help calm my nerves. Time was flying by. The doorway to hell was finally visible. There, in the flames, were the faces of people. Some looked bored, a couple looked sick, but most of them looked like they had just had the time of their lives. Morons. How in the hell could they think hopping in a hunk of metal that got jerked around like a rag doll x-stories high in the air was fun?
The people in front of us hurried into their seats to fill the ride. The gate closed and Ashera grinned.
"We're next!" she exclaimed.
I really wanted to kick her in the shin. Why did she always do this to me? She's a freaking demon! My hands were free so I clawed at my palm while trying to control my breathing. No use. My chest was already constricted and achy. I was doomed. FUCKING DOOMED.
"It's back!" Sher exclaimed bouncing with clearly visible joy.
I gulped like I was in some goddamn cartoon. I know it's pretty shameful that I'm this afraid of a rollercoaster but I can't help it. I'm a chicken-shit
My so called bestie wanted to sit in the front, but I grouched my way into the third row. Sitting down in that seat felt like I was about to commit suicide. What if something went wrong? What if we got stuck? I know this is cliché but… I DON'T WANT TO DIE A VIRGIN!
The employees or whatever came by to lock everyone in and make sure everything was secure. Did that make me feel safer? Hell no. We got the green light so the ride slowly began to pull us forward on the track. I squeezed my eyes shut and put a death grip on the bars over my chest. This was always the worst part. The ascent seemed like an eternity. That menacing clicking sound and the fact that I could feel us going up a vertical slope made me shake. Then, for a brief second, it stopped. Oh joy.
WHOOSH! We were falling, falling so fast that my butt no longer touched the seat. I squeezed my eyes shut harder and tried to overcome the sickening feeling of my stomach going into my throat. Just as I thought I couldn't take it anymore my body was jerked down as we shot up another slope. I could feel every turn, dip, and loop. The pressure of the air beating against my legs made them feel like they weighed five million pounds. Did I mention I was screaming my lungs out? And not the woohoo screams that bitch Ashera was doing next to me. I was screaming every profanity I knew. Threats too. Lots of "I'm going to fucking kill you Sher" and "You piece of shit bastard I hate you." I was just about to get struck by lightning when the ride finally ended.
My whole body was tingling. I was light headed, and as P.O.-ed as a monkey who just lost his banana. If looks could kill, Sher would've been nothing but a stain on the pavement. Honestly I wish I was one of those people who got dramatically ill and puked all over the place. Then people would never make me get on a coaster.
"That was THE SHIT!" Sher screeched enthusiastically.
"Blow me" I said giving her the drollest stare I could muster.
"Awww poor Marmar" Sher cooed with mock sympathy. "Did dat big bad roller coaster scare you? Wan me kiss it an make it better?"
"I fucking hate you Ashera"
"No you don't," Sher said with a wave of her hand "you love me."
Well there's a thin line damn it. I wobbled my way to a bench, sat down, and took a deep breath. I felt like death warmed over. Sher on the other hand was practically buzzing with energy. She got in front of me, put her hands on my shoulders, and playfully shook me.
"C'mon Mar, get up! We still got more rides to get on and I aint tryna take all damn day."
I groaned then let her drag me up outta my seat. Once she got started there was no stopping her. I might as well just bend over and take it. Hell hath no fury like Sher denied her thrill seeking pilgrimage.
It was 4 hours of torture. Just plain out muthafuckin torture. In that four hours we got on a total of 6 roller coasters. The rides themselves were only a few seconds long, but the wait and travel there gave me plenty of time to stress over what I was about to do. Thus, I was totally drained. Sher was pumped. Glowing and smiling her head off. I'd have to be a robot to not be able to smile too, even if it was a tired smile. See how much I love her? I'm willing to make myself miserable so that she's happy. Aren't I nice?
"Hol' up Amara," Sher said while digging her phone out of her purse "I got a text."
I stopped grateful for any reprieve.
"Ty says he and erybody bout to go to the pool and he wants to know if we ready."
Thank god.
"Hell yeah we ready!" anything to stop this crap.
"I knew you was gone say that" Sher said shaking her head.
She replied to the text, stuffed her phone back in her bag, then turned to face me. Question mark.
"We gotta get on one more ride before we go to the pool. Don't worry it's not a coaster." Ashera said smirking.
I raised my eyebrow but followed her in silence. If it's not a coaster… maybe it won't be horrible.
"No!" I refused. "Hell no!"
The ride she was referring to is The Drop Zone. It's a ride where you sit, get raised super high in the air, and then they drop you. Hello? I'm not getting on that shit! No, no, no!
"C'mon, It's not even as bad as the roller coasters" Sher argued.
"I don't care. I'm not gettin on that."
Ashera sucked her teeth. "Don't be such a baby."
"Baby my ass; I'm NOT getting on that freakin thing. You can go alone."
Ashera rolled her eyes and headed towards the ride.
"Pussy!" she called over her shoulder.
"Dick!" I called right back at her.
That was our double entendre insult. Nothing like intercourse to make you giggle. Hehe, intercourse.
She'd probly be gone for a half hour. Food time! As luck would have it there was a Dippin' dots right in the area. No one was in line, another plus, so I chose banana split flavor, and paid for the overpriced treat. Even I'm willing to pay extra for something that tastes yummy. I scouted a bench in some shade that no one was sitting in. Woohoo. I sat down, scooped some dots in my mouth then mmm'ed in euphoria. Nothing like ice cream on a hot day. I savored each bite then sighed in dismay when it was gone.
I stared blankly in boredom then remembered I had my book with me. Instantly happy I pulled it out and flipped through the pages. Just as I was about to engross myself I felt the hairs on the back of my neck prickle. Irritated, I swatted my nape thinking it to be bugs. Then, it happened again. I swatted my neck for the second time but looked up from my book. I peered around for bugs but there were none. Well that's weird. What was it then? The wind?
"What you lookin for?" Ashera inquired.
I jumped, startled. I hadn't even noticed her walk up.
"Uh Nuthin…" I said lamely.
"Well get up babe," Sher said. "its pool time."
Everyone else was already changed and ready so me and Sher went straight into the locker room. Since I had been chugging my water I was in desperate need of a potty, so Sher called that she would wait for me outside and for me to hurry up. Sometimes that girl could be so bossy. Once I was done I put my clothes in my bag, grabbed my towel, and headed towards a sink to wash my hands. Before I left I made sure to check myself in the mirror. Damn, I looked tasty. I walked back outside momentarily blinded by the sun and searched for Sher. She was standing out in the open looking too hawt for words. She had on a plain green bikini the same color as her eyes. It looked amazing on her 5ft11 chocolate body. As people walked by they did double takes and I swear I saw a guy drool. Suddenly I wasn't feeling so scrumptious.
"Daaaaamn!" Sher said as she saw me approach. "Ay, I aint tryna be rude or nuthing shawty but you lookin jah good right now. When you gonna let me smash?"
I burst out laughing trying not to fall.
"Yo I'm serious. Whats it gonna take for you to lemme hit?"
"Oh sweetheart," I said raising my eyebrow "anytime you wanna get at this, all you gotta do is holla and its yours."
"Real talk." Ashera laughed throwing her arm around my waist.
She wiggled her eyebrows, then pulled out her phone to get the location of our friends. Ty and them were at the far right of the wave pool. As we walked up Ty waved his arms over his head grinning. Tyrone was 6ft 3 so it wasn't hard to miss him. His muscles flexed as he waved. No doubt he was just trying to show off his six pac. Chico stood next to him rubbing on some sun block. He was chubby and about the same height as Ty. His long wavy hair was pulled back tight in a ponytail which irritated me. I liked dude's hair to be down, not up. I made a mental note to pull off the hair tie later. Mike and Jay were both of average build and 6ft1. They sat on beach chairs making motions for us to hurry up. Sam was the shortest boy in our group. He was an inch shorter than Ashera and adorable as hell. He had a baby face, shoulder length braids, a lean body and an insanely cute personality. He was the type of boy girls just wanted to cuddle. He raised his eyebrows at us.
"Wow, you're still in one piece Amara" Sam chuckled.
I ignored him and sat my bag on a chair. He looked up at me through his long thick lashes then opened his arms in a "do you want a hug?" gesture. I, of course, went into them. Hugs from Sam are kinda irresistible.
"Awww poor baby" Sam cooed while rubbing my back
"You should be ashamed of yourself" he said play glaring at Ashera.
"Sorry Mom" Sher laughed setting her bag down.
"Where are Rosa and Kiki? I asked sitting up.
"Right here." I heard Rosa call from behind me. Rosa was a tiny Latina. She was exactly 5ft and had waist length curly hair. She wore a flower printed one piece that opened at the back and was v cut in the front. Kiki was a Blasian baby; half Black half Japanese. She was about 5ft5 and super skinny. Not anorexic or anything, just very thin. She had on a white boy shorts bikini.
"Well now that the girls are FINALLY here, can we go in?" Mike asked.
"Yeah man I don't know what's up with women and time" Jay added.
Kiki and Rosa both "accidentally" hit Mike and Jay in the chest with their bags as they went to put them down. Ty picked me up and set me on my feet causing me to let out a disgustingly girly squeal.
"Don't do that!" I scolded.
"You were spacin out Mar." He justified shrugging his shoulders. "We're ready."
I looked around to see it was true. Everyone else was ready. I kicked my flip flops off then left Ty to join the group. I scrunched up my face as my feet cooked on the searing ground. Ow. We all sprinted towards the pool.
"OMG its cold!" Kiki complained.
"Stop whinin." Chico commanded kicking water in her direction. He was forever picking on Kiki. I think he took serious sadistic pleasure in it.
We waded to 4 feet (it was a 7 foot wave pool) then Mike and Jay plunged under the water showering everyone. Seconds later they grabbed Kiki and Rosa by the legs pulling them down.
"Paybacks a bitch!" Mike and Jay yelled in unison.
Suddenly I felt arms grip under my boobs and I knew the games had begun. I was quickly submerged into the chlorine riddled fluid. Ty held me under for a good 10 seconds twisting and turning me as I struggled then resurfaced. I tried to hit him but wound up falling back in the water. I laughed at my own clumsiness then looked over to see Sher drenched as well next to Chico. We all stood up then were blinded by a splash of water.
"What?" Sam asked getting up now completely wet like the rest of us. "I wanted to play too."
The bell rang for the waves to begin. YAY! I absolutely loved jumping in the waves. I began to swim to the deep end then noticed Ty was following me. Damn. I know his ass is gonna try something. I tried to swim a bit faster then hear a loud splash. Sam pulled Ty under and Sher hopped on his back laughing in triumph. I took this as my chance to escape. Hardly anyone was ever in the deep end. I enjoyed floating on the waves for five minutes or so then decided I'd get the drop on Ty before he got me. First I would have to be somewhere he wouldn't expect. I turned my back to the waves letting them carry me toward the shallow end. Everybody knew I was rarely ever there. The waves were stronger down here and there were more people so it was a lot harder to move. Kids crossed my path every two seconds causing me to get bewildered. I jumped to the side trying to avoid a grade-schooler then, something behind me smacked into my back careening me forward straight into the wall.
Nice. Maybe going into the shallows wasn't such a brilliant idea after all. I froze in fear that someone saw my embarrassing fall then noticed that I hadn't fallen into the water yet. I was still pressed tightly against the wall. And it was warm as hell! Shouldn't it be cold? And its smooth too…
My eyes popped open and I snatched my head back to see what my cheek was pressed against.
It not a wall I thought horrified.
IT'S A CHEST!
Hehehehe i wonder who's chest that is? XD
