Kai's POV:

"Pleeeaaaaase? Can we please go to the carnival?" begs Nainsi. "Pretty please with a cherry on top?"

"I really need to finish writing this speech, so for the thousandth time, leave me alone," I say through clenched teeth. I love my sister but she can be super annoying. Especially in times like right now when she wants something from me.

"If you take me to the carnival today, I will let you finish your speech and you won't hear me ask you for anything else until it is done," she reasons. "All of my friends are going, Kai!"

"Fine, but you have to promise not to bother me when we get back." If I don't take her, she will never stop her begging and then she'll spend all of tomorrow complaining that I didn't let her go to the stupid carnival and I'll never get my peace and quiet.

Nainsi jumps up and down, clapping her hands, and runs down the hall to find her shoes. I save the beginning of my speech on my laptop and grab the car keys. The carnival is only ten minutes away and Nainsi sings at the top of her lungs the whole ride there. When she does something, that thirteen year old goes all out.

After parking in a grassy field, I pay for our tickets and we step through the gate into the crowd of people walking towards concession stands, game booths, and striped tents. I watch a little boy take a picture next to a red-nosed clown with rainbow hair while Nainsi spins around in a circle to see which rides are the closest and have the shortest lines.

"So now that you've dragged me here, what do you want to do first?" I ask her excited expression. She points to the nearest roller coaster.
