Chapter 21: The State Fair

Jayden generously opened up the passenger door of his car to let Tori out. Tori stepped out, looked amazed by all of the fair's lights. She inhaled the smell in the air of its food, rides, and sweaty people working there. "Mhm, yupp. Definitly stills sounds the same."

Jayden chuckled, "Well glad it didn't change on ya." Jayden held out his hand, hoping she'll take it. Tori, of course, took his hand and slipped her fingers in between his. They strolled along the walkways, admiring everything about the state fair. Jayden said, "So, what do you wanna do first?"

"I'm good with anything, as long as I'm at the fair with you, I'm fine with anything." Tori sighed.

"I've never been to a fair, so I'm not exactly sure on what to do here." Jayden explained, looking around the place. Tori's mouth hung opened, very inviting for flies to fly in.

"You've never been to a fair? Ever?" Tori shrieked, hands on her cheeks.

When Jayden shook his head, Tori grabbed both his hand and began ranning. Jayden tried stopping her but found her difficult to control. "Tori, slow down would you!"

Tori slowed down, still holding on to his hand tightly. "Sorry, its just we have to see everything there is here! I will not let you leave this fair until you've experienced the full opportunity of being at a fair!" At that, Tori started ranning again and ran all the way over to the zoo. They walked in to see many different animals staring at the people who were staring at them. Tori skipped over to the monkeys and began making faces at them. The monkeys, who were confused at what she was doing, decided to copy her. The little kids, who were standing beside her, began laughing. Tori smiled at the fact that she helped make these kids happy.

Jayden watched her, amazed at what the fair had done to her. At school, she was kind of sad and not as cool. But tonight when she entered the fair grounds, her whole attitude changed. She acted like she was alittle kid again, and Jayden loved it. It warmed his heart to see Tori having fun and smiling alot, which she rarely does at school. Jayden decided to let Tori have her fun with the kids & monkeys, so he just stood by and watched.

Suddenly, he felt a warm breath on the back of his neck. He jerked around to see a lion sniffing him. "Woah there. You scare me." The lion shook its mane and looked at him.

"I'm guessing you don't like being in a cage." Jayden said. Suddenly, he had the urge to pet this lion. Extending out his hand, he slowly placed his hand on its mane and started stroking it. The lion seemed to be enjoying it cause it rolled over like a dog.

"Wow." Jayden turned around to Tori looking at him like it was something she never since before. "I've never seen a lion act like that to a complete stranger before. You must have some really good crism with lions."

Jayden winked, "You could say that."

"Come on, Randy! You can do it!" Emily cheered as she watched Randy try to win a prize for her. They were playing one of those games where you must threw a dart and pop the ballons.

This was Randy's last turn to shoot, so he carefully took his time. When he threw the dart, it almost hit the ballon by a inch. The crowd around him awed in disappointment, starting to leave. The game booth guy yelled, "Wait young man! If you hit that ballon, I'll give you any one of the prizes above!"

Randy looked above him to see all the big stuff prizes hanging. Emily pointed to the stuff ape and said, "Oooh Randy, please play one more time! That ape is just calling my name!"

Randy chuckled as he give the man a 5 dollar bill. With the dart, he eyed the ballon and took aim. When he threw it, the ballon popped and the people cheered for him. The game booth guy took down the ape and handed it to Emily. "Here you go ma'm. He's a keeper."

"Oh don't worry, I'll care good care of this fella." Emily said, looking at her new stuff ape.

"I wasn't talking about the ape." the game booth guy winked, going on to his next customer.

"Mike, I getting tired of this." Antonio said, stuffing his face with cotton candy. "I came to the fair to have fun, not to spy on people!"

Mike grabbed a hunk of cotton candy and shoved it into Antonio's mouth. "Shushh! I don't want them to hear you!"

"They're tons of yards away! They can't hear us!" Antonio pointed out. "By the way, who are you stalking again?"

"Emily and Randy; and we're not stalking!" Mike said, hiding behind a food stand.

"You know, you look kinda stupid right now."

"Why is that?" Mike asked, his eyes not leaving where Emily and Randy were.

"You're the only one hiding and people are looking at you like your a retard." Antonio explained, nibbling on his corndog.

"Hey, you're suppose to be hiding too!"

Antonio decided to ignore him and started walking away. Mike jumped out from his hiding spot and chased after him. "Hold up, bro! Where do you think you're going?"

"Somewhere you're not." Antonio replied back.

"Hey, you stick around me, alright? Especially since I was the one to pay for your tickets, your cotton candy, and your corndog." Mike said in a sassy tone.

Antonio huffed, "Fine, but I'm only doing this cause I'm a nice guy!" Antonio followed Mike and he stomped behind him.

Mike spotted Emily and Randy going into a building at which Mike couldn't see the name of. Once inside the building, Emily and Randy hopped into the ride and it moved along on it's railroad tracks.

"Come on, Antonio. We're riding behind them." Mike said, hopping into the next ride.

"But Mike..."

"Come on, Antonio! What you waiting for?"

"Mike, this is..."

Mike interrupted him by pulling on his arm. Antonio flopped into the seat as the ride manager buckled them in. He smirked, "Have funn you two lovebirds."

Once they started going, Mike asked, "Why did that guy just call us lovebirds? We're not gay!"

"Uhh, we're two guys, going into the TUNNEL OF LOVE together! What was he suppose to think!" Antonio said, slouching in his seat.

"Oops, my mistake. Oh well, lets just keep this thing going. I can see Emily and Randy uphead."

Antonio rolled his eyes, "Why are you obsessed with following them anyway?"

"I like Emily and I hate seeing her with that Randy guy. Augh, it bugs the crap out of me." Mike said as he started to pull something out of his pocket.

"Why didn't you ask Emily out before she started dating Randy?"

"I was going to after homecoming. But right after homecoming, Randy asked her out!"

"Oh." Antonio suddenly noticed that what Mike pulled out of his pockets was a sling-shot. "Where'd you get that from?"

"Mentor office; I don't know I took it, so shh!" Mike said, ducking down. "Antonio, get down!"
Antonio got down and looked over the front. They were about a few yards away from their targets. When Mike saw them kissing, he boiled up with fury. He looked to the side and grabbed a pebble as they were passing by a garden scene in the ride. Mike took aim and shoot the pebble between them.

Emily and Randy pulled apart and looked behind them. All they saw was a empty cart behind them.
