NOTE: Listening to the song 'Shake Your Love' by Debbie Gibson is the best while reading the carnival scene. Just sayin'
CHAPTER 7
Johnny was waiting outside his house, holding a rose.
He was presuming Rosie would like it, because of her name.
But also because Epina liked roses too.
Soon, Johnny's eyes widened when he saw Rosie, riding a bicycle for two. She was wearing a navy blue shirt with a gray cardigan, and dark denim jeans with her blue-black hair braided.
She got off. "Woah, that bikes pretty tuff!" Johnny said.
"Oh, thanks."
"Here, it's for you." Johnny handed her the beautiful single pink rose.
She blushed. "This is beautiful, Johnny. Thank you." She handed him a helmet. "Let's ride."
Johnny climbed on as the two rode off together.
Daniel was sitting on the couch, restlessly playing with his hands. Soon, he picked up the phone and called.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Ali?"
"Hey, Daniel. What's up? It's like seven."
"I know, I'm sorry. I was just…wondering if you wanted to go on a date to the carnival tonight!"
"…tonight?"
"Yeah, tonight."
"Well…okay sure."
"Were you busy or something?"
"Well—it was kind of last minute, don't you think? I mean, there's school tomorrow and I still have to finish this assignment for geography..."
"I'm really sorry, Ali. But please? Please please please?"
Ali sighed. "Fine."
"I'll be there to pick you up," Daniel said as he hung up.
Johnny and Rosie stood in front of the gates as they bought their tickets.
"Alright, let's go!" Rosie said excitedly as she pulled Johnny's arm along as Johnny laughed.
The song 'Shake Your Love' was playing as Rosie smiled.
"I love this song!"
Rosie and Johnny had played a few carnival games, like ring shooter, fish hooks, dunk tank and other games too.
Johnny won Rosie a big stuffed bear. She smiled as Johnny gave it to her.
"This is really cute! Thanks, Johnny!" Johnny slightly blushed.
The two lined up for a roller coaster.
"Have you ever been on one?" Rosie asked. Johnny shook his head. "Is it fun?"
Rosie smiled. "Depends—do you like the thrill?"
Johnny raised his eyebrows. "What?"
"Just come on. It's so fun." She smiled again.
They climbed into the small car as they locked themselves in.
Soon, the machine started to move.
"Get ready," Rosie said.
The car reached at a high peak and stopped at the top, then going down a steep slope very quickly as Johnny laughed, screamed and smiled all at the same time as Rosie did the same.
They looked at each other. Rosie liked the way Johnny smiled and Johnny liked the way Rosie smiled.
Daniel and Ali walked through the gates as Daniel clearly looked around for someone.
"Who are you looking for? I thought we were here to have fun."
"One of those clowns that make balloon animals. By the way, it smells like dish detergent."
Ali did Daniel's signature facepalm.
"C'mon, let's go get cotton candy." They walked over to the cotton candy stand.
"Is there a reason you're wearing sunglasses at eight o' clock at night?"
"They look cool, Corey Hart does it too."
Soon, Ali spotted Johnny and Rosie walking out from the roller coaster gates, and her eyes went as wide as saucers, almost close to screaming.
"Don't look, don't look..." Daniel whispered repeatedly.
Ali pulled up the hood on her gray hoodie. "What the hell?! Are they on a date?" Ali asked Daniel angrily.
Daniel breathed in. "Yes."
Ali hit him hard. "You doofus! They're not supposed to be on a date!" She shaded her eyes in frustration.
"Look, I didn't know. I came home from soccer and Johnny told me they had a date."
Ali sighed. "C'mon, let's get some balloon animals or something."
Rosie and Johnny had found a photo booth and went inside.
"This is going to be fun!"
They started putting on props, wearing funny hats and silly sunglasses, making funny faces and poses. They laughed as they looked at their photos.
"Can I keep these?" Rosie asked.
"Sure," Johnny said with a smile.
They walked to go get cotton candy.
"Nope," Daniel said, pulling Ali's arm as they ran off.
The two got their cotton candy as they started heading to the ferris wheel.
"The ferris wheel!" Daniel shouted, pulling Ali's arm as she mouthed 'oh for fuck's sake.'
Rosie and Johnny sat in a ferris wheel bucket together. Daniel and Ali tried to be as incognito as they could, climbing into a few buckets after.
Daniel took off his shades. "Phew."
Ali crossed her arms as she pulled off her hood. "This is annoying."
"What?"
"You made me come all the way over here when I could have been doing my assignment at home…and we're not even having fun."
"I'm sorry Ali…"
Ali sighed but looked at him. "But on the other hand…I think it's really sweet that you're jealous."
Daniel reddened. "What?! Jealous?! Of who?!"
"You're jealous because Johnny's on a date with Rosie. And I'm not saying you're jealous of Johnny. You're jealous of Rosie." She did a cunning grin and rested her head on her hand.
Daniel put his shades on to try and hide his blush. "I am not. And why do you care if I am or if I'm not? You're starting to act more like an annoying sister than my girlfriend."
"Because because because," Ali said repeatedly. "You plus Johnny—equals meant to be."
Daniel did a small chuckle. "Oh, Ali. I love you."
"I love you too, Daniel." They shared a kiss.
"We can have some fun after this, okay? I'll win you a new soccer ball or something." Daniel offered.
Ali smiled, leaning on Daniel's shoulder. "Okay."
"Thanks for a great day, I had fun," Johnny said, eating his blue cotton candy on the ferris wheel.
"I did too." Rosie smiled. The song playing was then 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody.'
"Oh my God, all these songs are amazing," Rosie said as she hugged her bear.
"Yeah, they really are." He looked at her and they both smiled to each other.
Soon, Rosie and Johnny's hands were holding as Rosie kissed him on the cheek softly.
"Do you think...we could do this again sometime?" Rosie asked.
"Sure..." Johnny said with a smile.
Rosie blushed and chuckled. "Okay." She did a big grin.
They sat together and watched the scenery, overlooking the carnival and the lake beside it.
Johnny smiled slightly to himself. He wondered what Daniel was doing right now.
