Chapter six: Welcome One and All to the Carnival!
It had taken Juliet almost three hours to get dressed, just because she couldn't find the 'right' outfit. She felt like such a girly girl, for some reason it felt like they were going on a date—her, Jimmy, and Petey. She ran the comb through her tangled hair; today was the first day since she came to Bullworth she was going to wear her hair down. She added some last minute details—eye shadow, eye liner, and mascara. She didn't care for all of those make-up products such as foundation and blush; she found them useless.
She took a minute to look at her appearance: her black tube top was covered by a red plaid shirt that had been rolled up (the sleeves) and her jean skirt was nicely pressed and wrinkle free.
She checked her watch and almost cringed at the time; she was twenty minutes later. Hurrying, she grabbed her high-top converse and rushed out the door.
./…\.
"Hey Petey!" Jimmy yelled over the crowd of people whom were gathering outside the gates of the carnival, "Is Juliet here yet?" Jimmy had gone ahead and bought three tickets for each of them. Petey shrugged and jumped to look over the crowd.
"Is that her?" he yelled to Jimmy. Pointing over his head, Jimmy turned and saw Juliet, red in the face and panting.
"Either she ran, or had some fun." Jimmy said and nudged Petey in the ribs. Petey's face flushed and cried out:
"Don't say that! She's your friend!" Simultaneously, Juliet looked over and waved to them.
"Hey guys! Sorry I'm a bit late… got up late." Jimmy smirked as he looked at her outfit; she looked more like a girl than she usually did. Her slightly darker make-up made her look older than she actually was and her hair was long and sleek looking. He wanted to move his hand out and run his fingers through it; that's how smooth it looked like. Maybe it was silk?
"Earth to Jimmy!" Juliet cried out, waving her hands in front of his face.
"Whoa, whoa, what?" he cried out back to her. He had been surprised by the hands in his face when he came out of his little 'day dream'.
"Did you buy tickets?" she asked, tapping her foot impatiently. He laughed at her irrated look on her face, but handed her, her ticket and Petey's his.
"Yeah, you buyin' the rides?" he asked her. She shrugged and glared at him.
"Guess so, but don't expect to ride on many with fourteen dollars." Petey chuckled nervously and handed Juliet something.
"Here, another fourteen dollars." Juliet smiled and shook her head and declined.
"Hang on to it, just incase." Jimmy was being a little selfish; he owned more than five hundred (pocket) dollars and he was making his friends pay for it. He shrugged other wise and walked behind Petey and Juliet with his hands in his pockets. Suddenly, Juliet pulled him towards the 'squid' ride.
"Come on!" with Petey in the other hand, Juliet paid three dollars and all three of them squeezed in one cart/bowl and the 'squid' started spinning. Faster and faster, the 'squid's arms moved making Petey feel the need to throw up. For a few moments, they rode the machine, but it ended almost as soon as it started. Juliet pouted, but dragged Petey and Jimmy to all of the rides, except one: the Ferris wheel. Petey looked up at the high wheel; spinning, oh so, slow. Still shaking from the roller coaster, Petey passed the Ferris wheel and went to go play some games. Juliet laughed and pulled out her last two bills.
"Good thing, I'm ruined." Jimmy chuckled as Juliet paid for the ride and the two got on the ride. At first, it was slow and not very exciting, but they got into a game of 'choose'.
"Okay, choose: kissing Edna or making out with Earnest?" Juliet asked. Jimmy opened his mouth and closed it.
"Uh, what kind of kiss with Edna?" Juliet thought for a mere moment.
"Tongue… lots and lots of tongue." Jimmy got a mental image to say the least.
"Oh sweet Jesus," Jimmy said, covering his eyes with his hands, "making out with Earnest." Juliet giggled loudly and leaned forward.
"Okay, my turn…" Jimmy said with an evil glint in his eyes, "choose: having sex with me or being Trent's slave for the entire year." Juliet groaned.
"What kind of slave?"
"Oh you know, this and that…" he coughed, "sex slave." Juliet slugged Jimmy in the shoulder with a glare. Jimmy held his hands up in defense, a friendly gesture.
"Having sex with you." Jimmy laughed obnoxiously and slapped his knee.
"Really?" Juliet groaned again and slapped his shoulder.
"Yes, I would never, ever, do that with Trent." Just thinking of it made shivers run up and down her spine. Soon the ride was over and they rejoined Petey. He looked down.
"What's up Petey?" Juliet asked after calming down. Petey looked up again and sighed.
"I was trying to win you something, because you're my friend and all and I couldn't get anything." Juliet smiled and hugged Petey.
"That's so sweet Petey! Just knowing you tried is sweet enough." Petey's face flushed, but uttered a small, 'your welcome.' As the two hugged, Jimmy wondered off somewhere.
"Hey, where'd Jimmy go?" Petey asked, scratching his head. Juliet shrugged.
"Who knows… let's go to the Freak show!" As she pulled Petey along, Jimmy played some games… winning some tickets.
./…\.
"Oh man! I wish I had a tail!" Juliet's voice echoed through out the almost empty carnival. It was almost two o'clock and the place washed out a lot more quickly that she thought.
"Hey, did Jimmy leave?" she asked, pulling her skirt down. Petey shrugged and then pointed over to a bench.
"Is that him?" oh, that was him alright with that ginger buzz cut hair. She made the 'shh' sign with her finger and snuck up behind him and covered his eyes.
"Guess who?" she said in a sing song voice. Jimmy knew who it was; Juliet, but he wanted to mess with her.
"Christy?" Juliet made an 'erk' sound, but shook her head.
"No."
"Pinky!" she was confused.
"Who?"
"Oh I know who it is," Juliet smiled and giggled, "Mandy." For that, Juliet whacked him over the head and turned around.
"Definitely not!" she shrieked. Being compared to that… that bitch was just being rude. Petey giggled lightly at the behavior between his two friends.
"Oh, so it is Juliet." She just sent a smug smile towards Jimmy and folded her arms across her chest.
"Fine I guess I'll just give this bear to Mandy." Juliet twirled around and saw a big bear in Jimmy's hands. She clasped her hands together and got a twinkle in her eye.
"Is it mine?" Jimmy smiled and held it out.
"Well I didn't win it for myself or Petey." Juliet giggled lightly and grabbed it. She kissed the bear's nose lightly and hugged it. Once her, bear-fest was done she slugged Jimmy her right-hook on his shoulder.
"Jesus woman! My arm's gonna fall off if you keep doin' that." He rubbed it and looked at her, "what was that for anyways?" She smiled and hugged the bear.
"For not sayin' my name right away." Jimmy smirked and folded his hands behind his head. He hated saying this, but: the girl was growing on him.
"So are we going to get a bit to eat, or am I going to starve?" Petey asked, rubbing his empty stomach. Juliet opened her mouth, which never was a great thing.
"Jimmy's buyin'!" as Juliet grabbed Petey and ran off, Jimmy walked after them, in one hand his bike and the other was his I.D.
./…\.
"Wow that was good pizza." Juliet said, adding a burp for the effect and patting her stomach. Petey added a burp as well, while Jimmy picked at his teeth with a toothpick.
"Sure." He said and flicked the toothpick somewhere. Juliet looked at him and then where he flicked the toothpick.
"Litterer." Jimmy looked at her.
"What?"
"Litterer."
"It's wood, it'll grow in to some kind of tree."
"Whatever." She said, banging her hip with his, making his stumble a bit.
