CHAPTER 10

Lila and I left for the carnival at noon thirty after eating a snack. We came to the dimmed carnival and grinned at each other. It was still packed. Even more than yesterday, actually, because it's the second day and more people know. I stepped out into the warm air and smiled as the sun's rays heated me to my core, like drinking a glass of sunshine. Lila came around the car and I kept walking toward her, and then we walked toward the red entrance. People were swarming around the food stands. I was glad that I ate before I came here. Lila seemed to have the same thought.

"Okay, now where would a swarm of hot people be?" she asked herself more than to me. I still shrugged, already tired of this. Lila always went to far with these kinds of things. One time she threatened to stand on a table and ask if anyone wanted to take me out if I didn't go with her. Lila tends to claim attention wherever she goes, and I don't like to be in the spotlight that much. It makes me blush.

"Can we go on a ride first?" I asked tiredly. She nodded, sighing dramatically. I led her to a random rollercoaster and we got on, the line going quickly. We screamed the entire way down. Mine was a laughing scream, hers a horror movie one. We got off and Lila had wind-blown hair from the ride, so I guessed I did too.

"Do we look like movie stars?" she asked, doing the signature slow-motion hair flip and stare. I laughed and copied, only flipping my hair into the wind, making it look dramatic. "That was perfect!" she said loudly, laughing.

"I was born to be a star!" I proclaimed, and then we burst into laughter. We walked around, Lila looking for any guys. I was looking up or to the side, or just anywhere but in front of me because Lila was dragging me. Lila suddenly started to say something and I slammed into something. I heard Lila laughing, but arms were around me. I stood straight, still looking down. "Whoops. Sorry." I said sheepishly, brushing off his shirt lightly. It was a navy blue.

"No problem." He said chuckling lightly. I looked up to see the boy with ebony hair.

"Hey I know you!" I said pointing at him. He smiled in recognition.

"Yeah you're the girl who kicked my butt in the ring toss!" he said pointing back mockingly.

"What's your name anyway?" I asked,

"Patrick. Yours?" he asked back.

"Aurora, nice to know you." I said, shaking his hand. He shook it laughing. "Oh, and this is Lila." I introduced when I glanced at an excited Lila. He shook her hand too.

"Want to walk with us?" Lila jumped in. I sighed inwardly, shutting my eyes in despair as he turned toward her and then quickly opening them again.

"Sure." He agreed happily. For some reason I just didn't really want to be around him. Or any boy for that matter. It just feels wrong or something. Maybe I feel like they might become my new best guy friend or something since Chester's gone. I don't know. We all walked around and played games for a while. Then he had to go. I only glanced at his retreating figure. Lila looked at me excitedly.

"So do you like him?" she questioned. I sighed.

"Not really. I mean he's cute and all, and really nice, but I just don't... I don't know." I shrugged helplessly, confused myself. She sighed loudly and dragged me to a group of boys, or more like she paraded me past them.

"Shake your hips more." She whispered in my ear. I shook my head but she slapped my arm, hard. I grimaced at her. She pushed me a bit to walk past them. I could tell they were from out of town but not Hollywood.
