I looked at the scene infront of me, excitement bubbling in my insides and a huge grin on my face.

The carnival was one thing that I missed in my childhood days and considering I often go here before with only myself as a companion reminds me how sad my life truly is, well before I met Eliki.

Considering this is the first time that I came here with someone that I could almost call as a friend kinda made my heart feel warm.

We stood infront of different rides, food stalls that lined up, and the soft chatter of laughter as people around enjoyed the joyful vibe that the carnival gave.

"What would you prefer to do first?" I asked, glancing at a blank faced Tyrone.

After the little scare earlier, Tyrone immediately stopped laughing after noticing me staring at him.

"Depends on you, I've been here way to many times with Chica and Jax, it kinda gets boring." He replied, shrugging.

"Oh really? I often go here back in my childhood days and it does get boring but I'm sure this time is different, considering this is my first time going here with someone and not only by myself." I pointed out, an excited grin on my face.

He processed my words before turning to me,"What do you mean by yourself? You mean you went here all by yourself with no friends?" He asked, his lips turning into a frown.

I couldn't help but be embarrassed," I told you nobody wanted to be friends with the 'diseased girl'" I joked, chuckling lightly.

He looked at me for a minute, making me uncomfortable before taking a hold of my wrist and pulling me into one of rides.

"Let's start from here," He said, his hand firmly holding my wrist.

I was gaping at him, surprised at the fact that he was holding my wrist and not making a fuss about it.

He raised a brow, clearly noticing my gaping expression and I cleared my throat before laughing nervously.

"Sure!" I dumbly agreed, without realizing that the ride that we were going on first was the roller coaster with a very high drop.

I was fidgeting nervously as I looked at the ride, hearing people shouting enthusiastically and grimacing when they reached the part where they were going down.

Holy Mackerel.

We were waiting patiently in line, our tickets already paid by none other than, Tyrone himself.

As the roller coaster came to a complete stop, I started to panic.

"Hey carrot, Why don't we save this ride for the last? Look at that carousel over there! Doesn't it look cute? I think it's cute, I don't know about you but I've always enjoy that ride when I was you-" I was cut off when Tyrone started to pull me into one of the seats.

"Why are you pulling me? Don't pull me! How about you go in this ride while I go wait over there? Doesn't that sound great? Ow! Why are you strapping me? Oh god, what if the strap broke? and like I fall? Holy mole! What if a fly comes into my mouth while I'm screaming? I could choke! I can't di-" My babbling was cut off when Tyrone wrapped his hand on mine.

The words seemed to drown in my throat, the warmth from Tyrone's hand gave me a slight sense of security.

"Calm down Radish, I wouldn't let you fall nor let a fly go into your mouth." He murmured, rubbing his thumb at the back of my hand.

I felt warmth at his words but sadly, It didn't take to long for me to notice that the ride was moving upwards the drop and I felt myself go pale again.

"I'm scared Tyrone," I admitted, tightening my hold on his hand and closing my eyes as we grew closer and closer.

"Don't let fear control you Zoe. I promise that I wouldn't let go of your hand okay?" Tyrone assured, an emotion lacing on his voice.

I felt a smile pull at my lips, I opened my eyes and was about to say something only to once again realize that we were finally at the top.

The part where the roller coaster drops.

"Thank y-AHHHHHH! OH MY GOD I'M FALLING! TYRONE'S FUCKING FALLING! WE'RE ALL MOTHERFUDGING FALLING!WHY DID YOU FORCE ME TO DO THIS TYRONE?! HOLY CRAP THE WIND IS BISH SLAPPING ME SO HARD, I CAN'T FEEL MY FUCKING FACE! AHHHH!" My hand squeezed the life out of Tyrone's hand as I screamed hysterically.

I don't know how long I was screaming but I could feel my soul escaping from my body a few times.

I breathed a sigh of relief, noticing that the ride was coming to stop. I couldn't help but turn red when I noticed that Tyrone was laughing loudly beside me.

I huffed, pulling my hand out of his grasp before unstrapping myself and walking away, I noticed a few people were giggling at me and I turned even more red.

A hand wrapped itself around mine, pulling me backwards with a gasp.

I bumped into the person's chest before I pushed him, glaring at his amused face.

"Done laughing?" I sarcastically asked, pulling my hand away from his but failed when his grip tightened.

"I'm sorry Radish, you just looked so cute with all the shouting and rambling. I couldn't help but laugh," He apologized, a few chuckles still escaping his lips.

I glared at him but without even knowing, a smile spread my face.

"You're forgiven carrot, good thing you kept your promise." I joked, referring to his hand that was still wrapped around mine.

"What can I say? Promises are meant to be kept." He replied, a twinkle in his eyes.

I grinned, not bothering to reply and instead pulled him to the section of food stalls.

"All that shouting got me hungry, what do you want to eat? It's my treat." I said, my eyes scanning at the different food stalls that were lined up.

"Candy floss!" Tyrone answered, pointing a finger at one of the food stalls that were slightly crowded by customers.

I was slightly surprised by his answer. I was expecting him to like point to one of the rock on the ground and say 'this is the shit' before trying to bite into it wildly.

You are what you eat right?

Ha.

"I never peg you for that kind of guy," I mused, making our way to the stall.

"What do you mean?" He asked, a frown on his face.

"You know that you actually eat something soft considering how hard you are?" I let on, not thinking of my words clearly.

He gave me a deadpanned look.

"Did that came out wrong?" I asked out, a frown on my face as I replayed the words in my mind.

He ignored me, turning to the person that was incharge of the food stall.

"Couple or not?" The guy asked, glancing at the our hands.

"Nope, we're not." I chirped in, not bothering to let go of Tyrone's hand.

He nodded thoughtfully,"Ahh, it's definitely fubu then," He let out, glancing at Tyrone.

"Fubu? What's that?" I wondered out, brows furrowing in confusion.

Tyrone noticed my confusion and answered the man, not even answering my question.

"We're acquaintance." He said, his expression, once again, wiped out of his face.

"Why are you holding hands then?" He asked back, another question.

The man looked around his twenties. He was kinda cute with his little curls that were kinda golden blonde and was tall. He was kinda pale, and was gifted with warm brown eyes and blushing cheeks.

"Are you the cupid? Last time I checked, you were selling candy floss and not wearing a diaper with a fucking arrow in your hand." I bit out, annoyance lacing at my voice.

The man looked at me in surprise before giving me a genuine smile and went over to the machine before handing us two candy floss.

"I'm sorry if I overstepped my bounderies. You both looked good togethere that I couldn't help but confirm," He apologized, giving us a warm smile.

Guilt slammed into me, my annoyance draining down the drain like when you pee on the shower.

Is it just me?

I hope not.

"No worries, I'm sorry for snapping at you. It just weirded the frick out of me," I smiled, looking at my candy floss with excitement.

"I'm David," He introduced, a warm smile on his face and something inside me felt weird.

I dont know why but I remember before scrolling through a list of boy names and my eyes particularly landed on David which meant beloved.

Funny how I remember this now.

"I'm Zoe and this is my acquaintance, Tyrone." I replied, grinning at him.

Tyrone rolled his eyes at my emphasis on the word 'acquaintance'

I procedeed to hand him my money but he declined.

"No worries, it's on me." He said, shaking his head at my money.

"Are you sure? I don-"

"Thank you," Tyrone cut in, a small smile on his lips.

I kinda blanked out for a minute, before I shook my head and nodded along to what Tyrone said to the man.

"It's nothing, now, go along. The night is young so make the most of it." He gave us a wink.

I gave him a grateful smile, before we both turned on our heel but not before we heard him calling our names.

"I might not be the cupid but I'm sure next time we'd meet, he had already done his job." He gave us a parting smile before going back his job.

One thing I found odd though is when I turned back to peek at David,

He was gone.

AND THE NIGHT IS JUST BEGINNING.

Holà my little cardishes!

Did u enjoy the chapter?

I definitely enjoyed writing it, especially the part where Zoe had to confront one of her fears.

Honestly, all of us have our own fears but its up to us wether we let it control us or do something about is.

I choose the latter ;)

And you met David! He's a weird guy, isn't he?

Anyways, I just finished watching the 2018 NBA playoffs. It was the western conference finals and hold the fudge up!

THERE IS GOING TO BE A GAME 7 BETWEEN THE WARRIORS AND ROCKETS.

woot woot!!

It's kinda funny how all four teams are tied in the score.

I'm also wondering who'd win tomorrow between the cavs and celtics.

Who'd you think would win?

Okay, I'll stop talking about basketball now.

Question of the day: Who's your favorite youtubers?

You are loved, You are beautiful, You are You.
