The Last Day
It was last day, technically. It was our last full day and when we wake up we will be on the road back to school. We all decided to go to the amusement park.
When we entered the amusement park, Jerry immediately ran to the corn dog stand. Grace rolled her eyes, turned to us, winked, and ran after him. I looked down at Kim, whose face was filled with joy as she looked around. I put my arm around her shoulder and could have sworn I heard her giggle. I gestured to the park as I talked.
"Where to first, Kimberly?" I could feel her glare on me and looked at her with a smile.
"My name's Kim" She clarified.
"I know" I whispered in her ear and watched her glare slowly turn to a smile. She looked around and pointed. I followed her hand, while having to lean in front of her to get a better view, and saw she was pointing to the park side, with the rides. I smelt her vanilla and smiled.
"Jack?" I looked at her from the side. She slipped out of my arms, which made me sad. She smiled at my pot face and ran her hand from my wrist to my hand and in between my fingers. I smiled at her until I felt a huge yank and tumbled forward, holding my balance. "Let's go" She yelled, pulling me. I followed and she pulled me all the way to the first rollercoaster. We stepped in the cart as the beam was lowered onto us, Kim squeezed my hand. I looked at her and saw her bit scared.
"Are you okay?" I whispered. She flinched but softened when she knew it was me.
"Just a bit scared" She admitted. I chuckled and scouted closer to her. She didn't relax but she did try to come closer to me. "Its heights" She whispered.
"Kim, you free fell off a bridge." She looked at me and shook her hair.
"I was free falling. I can't change into a bat here!" She tensed up and began to shake. I squeezed her hand gently.
"I have you." She looked at me terrified. I let go of her hand and held her waist. The ride started to go and Kim stayed stiff as we went up the first hill. "Kim?" She held her eyes on the ground. I grabbed her chin with my fingers and made her look at me. "Just look at me when you're scare." She nodded and kept our eyes locked. The cart stopped at the top and took down the hill. Kim's scared face pulled into a smile and she waved her hands up in the air and screamed with joy. I followed suit but kept one arm around her shoulder, in case she was still scared or if something really did happen to her.
We got off and Kim was a ball of energy. She jumped up and down. She pulled me to different rides. After going on every ride, and running into Grace and Jerry. We went on some rides with them but Jerry started puking saying he shouldn't have had that sixth corn dog. Kim and I decided to meet them at the food court in an hour so Kim and I took off to the games.
First we went to a coin toss, which we failed at. We went to different booths when we went to a game, Kim shrieked.
"What?!" I yelled as she screamed. She ran to the counter and pointed at the giant stuffed bear. I chuckled. "Never thought you would be a stuff animal type…" I said. She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.
"Pwease" She said in a baby voice. I gave in a bought three balls, which I had to knock down blocks. "Win it, Jackie!" She encouraged. I laughed and smiled at her.
"I'm only winning it so you will have someone to sleep with besides me when we get back to school." I winked and she rolled her eyes but let out a chuckle.
"How do you know I won't have someone lying next to me?" She asked, in all seriousness. I raised my eyebrows at her and felt my blood boil. "You never know, Jack, I could get a boyfriend." I grabbed one of the balls and knocked down all three in one throw. Applauses went all around me as the guy grabbed the bear and gave it to Kim. She put it down and jumped on me, wrapping her arms around my neck. I swung her around and set her on her feet. She smirked at me. "You were jealous" She announced.
"No I wasn't" I told her, shaking my head. She chuckled.
"You so were" She said, smiling. She turned, picked up her stuff animal and grabbed my hand. "No worries, I won't want to sleep in anyone else's arms." She began pulling me towards the food court. I smiled and walked besides her, hand in hand.
We walked into the food court and spotted Jerry and Grace. Jerry looked fine while he scarfed down another corn dog. Grace rolled her eyes as she at some fries. Kim pulled me over to them and we stood in front of them. Jerry licked his lips and smiled at us.
"Are you guys finally to-?" She was interrupted by Kim hissing at her.
"No, Grace" She hissed. She pulled out a chair and sat down. I grabbed a chair from another table and sat between Kim and Jerry.
"Well are you ever going to-?" She cut her off again.
"I will when I do." Kim replied. I looked at the two confused.
"When? When we are back at school! When they stop?" I was more confused than ever. I squeezed Kim's hand.
"What are you talking about?" She turned towards me slowly and smiled. She stood up, letting go of my hand and smiled at us.
"I have to go to the bathroom." She told me. Grace stood up as well.
"I'll come with you" Kim glared at her but they took off, leaving their stuff with us. I turned to Jerry to see him looking just as confused I did.
"What was that all about?" I asked him. He shrugged and finished his corndog. "I think Kim's up to something" I told him. He leaned across the table and looked around.
"And I think Grace knows something." I nodded at him and looked around for them. "How are you and Kim?" He asked curiously.
"You think this has something to do with me?" I asked. He nodded and I thought for a moment. "If it had to do with me, what she had to do?" he shrugged and the seats screech next to us. Kim and Grace sat back down. Grace scooted towards Jerry while Kim stayed where she was. She gave me a shy smile. I grabbed her hand and held it under the table. Blush crept on to her cheeks making my smile go wide. I massaged her hand with my thumb which made her go darker.
"Ready to go?" Grace asked. We nodded and stood up. We swerved through the crowd and made it to the car. I let go of Kim's hand to go to his side of the car. He got in and smiled at Kim. We took off and in no time we were at the beach house. Entering the house we all groaned.
"I'm going to miss this house!" Jerry yelled.
"Yeah, we should probably pack." Grace sighed and walked upstairs. We all split up into or rooms. I jumped on the bed, tired from all the walking. An object went on the side of me and I turned towards it, hoping it was Kim, instead of Kim, sat a big suitcase on the foot of the bed. Kim took out an outfit and set it on the dresser. She packed all her clothes as I watched. She was folding it and turned. She set it in the suit case and smiled.
"Shouldn't you be packing?" She said. I got up and grabbed my luggage off the ground. I never real unpacked. It was still full of all the clothes I didn't wear and the ones I threw in. I folded the unfolded ones and zipped it shut. I took out a pair of sweatpants and a white shirt before putting by our door. I looked at Kim who was sitting on her bag, trying to zip it up. I walked over to her, laughing. I pushed down and she zipped it up. She fell on the bed exhausted and cuddled into the sheets. She must have changed because she wore shorts and a plain t-shirt. I grabbed my sweatpants and went in the bathroom. I changed and fixed my hair in the mirror. I walked out and saw Kim looking at me. I smirked and gestured to my bare chest.
"Like it?" She turned her back to me and I smirked. I lifted the sheets and lay down next to her. She turned in my arms and cuddled into my chest.
"I'm going to miss this" She whispered, laying her warm head on my cold chest. I chuckled.
"At least you'll have the stuffed bear." I said, pointing to the giant bear that sat on her luggage.
"It won't be the same" I smiled and pulled her closer. I felt her head tilt as her hair tickled my chest. I looked down into her big brown eyes and smiled. She leaned up and pecked my lips before looking away and cuddling back into spot. I smiled, even though her lips were on mine for literally two seconds, but it was Kim kissing me. I have to enjoy it as I can.
"Feel free to snap into my room whenever you want" I whispered. She giggled and nodded. That's when I knew she was sleeping. This week has been an adventure and with Kim by my side, it was the best ever.
