“Kelli, he was going to hook up
with me,” I whispered to her.
“Oh my God, I’m so sorry, I didn’t even
realize,” she said. I’m sure she didn’t
realize.
“It’s alright,” I lied. We walked around some
more and Mattie challenged Cody to a balloon darts game, the first
to pop five balloons won. “Which one, Brooke? The pink
dolphin?”
“Yeah, how’d you know I’d want the pink
one?” I asked, surprised he got it right.
“It’s obviously your favorite color. The pink teddy
bear yesterday, your pink bathing suit, pink nails, pink streak in
your hair,” he said. “It’s cute.”
I smiled, hoping he’d win the game. But instead, Cody had
won, asking Kelli, “Which one?”
“The pink dolphin,” she said. She hated the
color pink. And that was the last pink dolphin there.
“It’s so cute, thanks Cody.”
“I’ll get you something else,” Mattie assured me.
It’s not the prize that mattered, it was the fact that Kelli
took what she knew I wanted even though she hated it herself. That
was so childish.
“It’s fine, I don’t care,” I smiled,
letting Kelli know her attempt failed. We walked around some more,
laughing and flirting around in a big group and having a good time.
We got on the Ferris wheel line and I knew this is where Cody would
finally kiss her and ask her to be his girlfriend. Maybe once he
did she’d stop getting so jealous whenever there was guy
attention on me.
“He’s so gonna do it,” I whispered in her ear.
She smiled at me and giggled, and I knew that mean she was excited.
I whispered back in her ear, “I’m really hoping to get
with Mattie tonight, do you think I can?”
“Of course,” she said. “I’ll help you if
you need.”
“Help with what?” the guys asked. “You
can’t just do that, you know, tell secrets in front of
us.”
“I’ll tell you guys after the ride,” I said,
totally not planning on telling them. It was finally our turn to
get on the Ferris wheel, when we had to decide who would sit with
who. First Duke and Graham went on together, not caring that they
went together. I knew Jace really wanted to sit with me but
couldn’t say anything because he knew Mattie liked me. Carter
said, “Come on Jace, go with me.”
Jace listened even though he was a little disappointed. I
didn’t want him to think he had no chance, because he did. I
just wasn’t sure who I liked yet. And ever since that kiss
with Carter, I’d been even more confused. Why not just test
them all out while I’m at it?
“They’re together,” I joked to the guy working
the ride as Carter and Jace took a seat. “No, we’re
not,” they tried to tell him as the guy pushed the next cart
forward. I made Cody and Kelli go next so that they’d be in
front of me and I could see when he kissed her.
“After you,” Mattie said, letting me get in first,
leading me forward by the arch in my back.
