Chapter Three
…
..
.
In which we go to a carnival, get stuck in a Ferris wheel, talk about hockey, and I get pulled around like a child's plaything.

"Okay, I am stuffed," Carlos said, leaning back in his chair. James nodded with him, and I looked to see Logan nodding, too.
"So, what's next?" Erin asked, putting her head on her hand. "I mean, this is Hollywood."
"Yeah," I agreed. "Are we going to meet Paris Hilton? Tour that Chinese theater? Look for Brad Pitt's house?"
"Even better," Kendall grinned.
One brilliant Kendall idea later….
"Uh, a carnival?" I asked. There was the familiar sound of screaming and puking in the air, and even the mixed smells of cotton candy and deep fried Twinkies. Carlos ran in front of us, reaching his hands in the air.
"PERFECT! I haven't had this much fun since the state fair in Minnesota!" he shouted. "Let's go, guys! We need to ride everything!"
I laughed. "How about you go ride everything and I'll pick the safest ride here."
"Sure! Erin, c'mon!" he shouted, grabbing her hand. She turned and gave me a help-me look, but this time I knew she didn't need help. She needed to get away from her controlling, cheating boyfriend is what she needed, and there was no one better than Carlos. I smiled and waved as he headed towards the ticket booth, and probably next to that roller coaster.
"So, what do we do?" James asked, stopping to check out a couple of girls passing by. I rolled my eyes and he caught me, grinning. "How about you and me go in the tunnel of love?" He winked.
"Uh, we're not going to do anything that boring," Kendall said quickly, stepping to my defense. I sighed in relief.
"We're…going on the Ferris Wheel!" I shouted, pointing towards the EXTREMELY tall, bright yellow wheel spinning around.
"The Ferris wheel? That ride's weak," James said.
"Hey, I like the Ferris Wheel," Logan said, smiling. "I say we do it."
"Perfect. So, me and Dani will go in one, and you and James can go in the other….," Kendall started.
"Uh, no. I think because I like the Ferris Wheel and so does Dani, then we should go together," Logan interrupted.
"No, no, no guys. Dani needs someone who's gonna know what Hollywood looks like from that high up, if you know what I mean," James said, winking at me.
"How about I just go alone in one and you three go in another," I laughed, getting in the line to get on. To my surprise the ride stopped and the carny ushered me in, Kendall following close behind. I sat down and he sat beside me, and I looked out to see two very disappointed and even slightly pissed-off faces. I just giggled, looking over at Kendall. He was staring really, really deeply into my eyes, smiling.
"What?" I asked. "There's food on my face, isn't there."
"No," he just said, then the ride started. So, although I'd suggested the Ferris Wheel because it doesn't spin in crazy circles or make you want to throw up, I was DEFINETELY afraid of heights. I gripped onto the side of the cart and shut my eyes tightly, afraid to look down.
"Hey, are you alright?" he asked, sliding over to me.
"NO! You'll tip this thing over and we'll be dead!" I shouted. He shot back into his spot and cleared his throat.
"Uh, we're not going to die on this thing, Dani," he said. "Stop gripping onto the side! You'll tip us over."
"Oh GOD!" I yelled. "You're right!" I slide the other direction and gripped onto him. My hands held onto his shirt tightly, which was clinging to his chest just right. He definitely had washboard abs, I could tell right away, and his arms went around me. A blush crept up my cheeks as I looked up at him.
"It's not so bad, is it?" he asked, smiling. "It's kind of nice."
"I-I'm not looking down," I stuttered, but not so much from the height anymore. We were so close.
"You don't have to," he murmured. I looked up at him and realized our faces were close. "Dani?"
"Yes…?" I asked. The world was spinning; I didn't have to be on a fast ride to know that. I could barely breathe again, and my palms were sweating more than I was.
"You're beautiful," he said. That's when I stopped thinking. No way did a guy on the wall, a guy that I thought could never possibly like me in a million years, just call me beautiful. I mean, I wasn't Miley Cyrus with her cutesy little smile and I wasn't Vanessa Hudgens with her perfect body, but really? Me, the kid from little Michigan? No way. I was definitely dreaming. I pinched myself to make sure that it was real.
"Ow," I said quietly. Yup, it was definitely not a dream. That hurt. I looked away from him and out of the cart to see glorious Hollywood smiling up at me. The sunlight reflected off the building in a beautiful kind of way, and the palm trees were clearly visible among all the tall, cement buildings. In a modern kind of way, it was ancient beauty. I clung tightly to Kendall, who was trying his best to breathe in the midst of my fear of heights. "I'm sorry- am I hurting you?" I slid back to my side of the cart, feeling guilty for using him as a balance. Even if he did think I was beautiful, he didn't want me like that. He had that Jo girl from his show- they were dating, right?
"Get back here," he laughed, pulling me towards him. I gripped back onto his shirt and smiled. It was too good to be true. We were circling around again and were fully at the top when the gears suddenly made an odd grinding sound, causing me to jump. Then the ride fully stopped, as soon as we were at the very tip-top point of it.
"No. Way," I said angrily. "We are stuck at the top of a freakin' Ferris Wheel. This was such a bad idea."
"It's not your fault- I wanted to go to the carnival," Kendall said. "They'll fix it right away- you'll see."
"Why do I doubt that," I mumbled.
"Riders-remain calm," said the carny from before through a megaphone. "We're working on the problem right now. Rest assured your lives are completely safe."
"If our lives would be completely safe we would be STILL MOVING!" I shouted.
"-Please, remain calm, we will have the issue fixed right away," he finished, moving towards another group of carnies.
"Don't be mad- this is kind of fun," he said, grinning.
"How is this fun?"
"Well, I'm not fighting with Logan and James over you," he told me, grinning even wider.
"WE'RE RIGHT BELOW YOU!" shouted James. I groaned.
"SHUT UP, JAMEZ," I shouted back. Kendall started to laugh and I joined him, rocking the cart back and forth. I had tears rolling down my cheeks when we finished laughing.
"That was ONE episode! Seriously!" he said under us.
"Dude, let it go," I heard Logan say. "You're the one who wanted to be Bandana man."
"It was a SCRIPT!" he yelled.
"You're wearing one right now," Logan pointed out. I giggled and looked back at Kendall, who was staring at me again.
"If there's something on my face, tell me, will ya?" I joked, nudging him in the side. He smirked and put his arm around me.
"Let's play 20 questions," he said.
"Here's one- WHY DID WE GO ON THIS RIDE IN THE FIRST PLACE!" James screamed.
"Shut UP, James," Kendall and I said in unison. We both turned and smiled at each other.
"Sure, 20 questions. You start," I said.
"Okay- what's your favorite sport?"
"That's easy- hockey," I admitted. "And I'm not just saying that because I've seen the show. I really do like it."
"You're kidding me," he said, suddenly breathless. "You are perfect."
"I'm not perfect," I said quickly, blushing.
"Fine, your turn."
"What's it like being famous?" I asked. He put a finger on his chin, thinking it over, and finally grinned at me.
"You sure meet a lot of people," he started. "It's pretty awesome, though- we're all best friends, we've been through a lot together, so just having the guys to back me up is great. Plus there's always the fangirls."
"Yeah, right," I laughed.
"Speaking of which, are you a secret fan girl? Is a poster of us on your wall?" I gulped. How did he know that? I nervously shook my head. "Are you lying?"
"N-no," I stuttered. "D-definetely n-n-not."
He just laughed. "Alright, I'll take that. My turn- what's it like in Michigan?"
"It's much more boring than here," I said, breathing a sigh of relief. Good thing he asked nothing more about posters. The wall was not known among my guy friends, and although I just met Kendall and he wasn't really my friend yet, he could never know about my wall of men. "Very snowy during the winter, and hot during the summer. It's nice, though."
"Sounds like it," he said, stretching out and putting his arms behind him. He smelled like Hollister, but not the overpowering kind, just the nice, lightly sprayed on kind. Ahhhh…..
"Um, my turn. Is it cool working with girls on your show?" I hinted. I really wanted to know if him and that blonde chick were dating. Hey, I watched the show a few times! I know a few things!
"Yeah, they're all fun," he told me. "But they're just my friends, pretty much. I just have to date Jo on the show."
"Oh," I said brightly. "Your turn!"
"Alright- what do you think of me?" he asked, leaning in closer.
"I uh…uhm…," I tried, but he was getting closer by the second. "You're…a new friend…so, uh…."
He chuckled. "Go on."
"Well…uh…." Then, to my immense relief and sudden love for carnival rides, the ferris wheel started to slowly go down, and I breathed out heavily. That was so insanely close. I mean, we'd only known each other for x amount of hours. He shouldn't know this early. That would just be stupid. Plus he barely knows me. We reached ground and I got out first, followed closely by Kendall. Then James and Logan came flying at me, hugging me hysterically.
"Are you ok? Did he rape you?" James asked, squeezing my brains out.
"Fine…just…let….go," I choked out. They released me and looked at Kendall, who was raising his eyebrows.
"I should just go….," he said, running towards the cotton candy.
"What did you guys talk about?" Logan asked.
"Just some questions. Why?" I replied.
"Did he try and make a move on you?" James spit out. I frowned and put my hands on my hips, huffing.
"Why do you need to know that?"
"Because! If he made a move then it wouldn't be best-friendly to do the same!"
"Well, he didn't," I said. He hadn't, had he? WE didn't kiss….we just talked.
"Good. Tunnel 'o love, here we come!" James shouted, grabbing my hand and taking me towards the swan rides. No, shit shit shit shit…..I hated love rides!
"She's going with me to the roller coaster!" Logan shouted louder, grabbing my other hand. I felt this incredibly painful stretch go through me and I grimaced. This love thing was putting me through a lot of hurt…literally.
"Guys, GUYS!" Kendall shouted, holding two bags of cotton candy. "LET HER GO!" They dropped my hands immediately, staring down at the ground as if they were being yelled at by their Mom. "Seriously, she isn't a toy."
"Thank you, but the toy can speak," I said, brushing off my pants. "James, I'm not going on a cheesy tunnel ride. Logan- I throw up even walking. We're not going on anything that can go faster than I can run. Got it?" Kendall gave me a bag of cotton candy and I smiled, starting to eat it. "Thanks."
"You're welcome," he smiled. James and Logan shot him some dirty looks and we all walked around the carnival.
"But for real, we need to go in the tunnel," James added. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Why do you want to go in it?" I asked. He shrugged.
"I don't know; they did it in Hey Arnold," he said. I laughed outright; I totally forgot about that show!
"You're right!" I said between laughs. "I loved that show."
"So does that mean you'll go on it?" he asked hopefully.
"No," I told him quickly. James seemed nice, but I wasn't interested. Now, if Kendall asked me to ride in the tunnel of love…I probably wouldn't be able to refuse.
"Well then we should all go on the roller coaster," Logan suggested, grinning. He was so freaking cute. If I didn't like Kendall so much, I would definitely say yes to Logan. I feel like a whore. Oh well.
"Yeah, no," I shook my head. "Really. I'll blow chunks."
Kendall laughed. "That's funny…and disgusting."
"Mostly the last one," James said, checking out a group of girls walking by, laughing. He looked at them again, then back at us. "Bye. Ladies!" He charged after them, waving his hand. To our surprise they stopped and he went walking with them.
"LOGY!" yelled out a familiar voice. It was Camille from the show, and she was grinning and waving. They hugged and she looked at me funny. "Hi….who are you?"
"Oh, I'm Dani," I said, smiling.
"Nice to meet you," she replied, smiling back. I think I liked her so far. "Logan, do you wanna ride the coaster? Jo won't."
"Sure!" he said quickly, pulling her towards it. I was excited to see I was alone with Kendall again until the blonde girl walked up. I'd seen them kiss on the show and, although it looked staged in Kendall's posture, the girl was into it. WAY into it, I thought.
"Hi, Ken," she said sweetly, giving him this disgustingly sappy hug. "What are you guys doing at the carnival?"
"Uh, showing Dani and her friend around, actually," he said, gesturing to me. I waved nicely, to show I could be a nice person, but she just shot me this nasty look. It said eat shit and die. Oh, wonderful. Another blonde bitch to steal the guy I like. This is just Joel all over again, I mused.
"So, do you wanna go in the tunnel of love?" she asked.
"I'm kinda busy…..," he started, but she cut him off with her finger. I raised my eyebrows and looked around, hoping for someone to rescue me from this awkward situation.
"Let's go, sweetie," she said, dragging him mercilessly towards the embarrassingly weird ride. They got on this swan-boat thing, and as they floated towards the tunnel I couldn't help it; I cracked up. I honestly started laughing. I couldn't believe I wasn't crying…but laughing. Something about the weirdness of all of it, and the random ride, and the fact that I was fighting with a tv star for another tv star, amused me.
"Are you feeling okay?" asked Erin, now beside me. I wiped tears away and grinned.
"Yeah," I said. "Kendall's with Jo in the tunnel of love."
"NO WAY," Carlos said, appearing magically by us. "That's gross! That ride is all…gooey…and pink….and…just gross!"
"I kinda like it," Erin admitted, looking towards the ride.
"-Well then, let's go!" he said, and they ran off towards the tunnel. God, what was everyone's deal? I needed to find a guy to go in the ride with.
"Hey, beautiful," said an unfamiliar familiar voice behind me. I turned to see none other than the famous, weirdly handsome, kind of young, surprisingly short…
….JUSTIN BIEBER.
HAHAHA! Cliffhanger! But too funny, right? I had to put him in here somewhere. Can't wait til the next chapter! Love you guys! (:
