I'm Not Okay {I Promise}

Collision Course

"No. Not twelve. I just know how to have fun. Unlike some people I know."

They went to the bumper cars.

"You better watch your back, Larian."

"Oh, I think that's gonna have to be your job, McKinley." Sage stepped closer. "I will wreck you."

"Okay, okay, you two, we get it. You're desperately in love. Break it up." Erin pushed them apart and slid into her car.

Sage and Ian just stared at her—Sage flustered, Ian glaring.

"Well? You two coming?"

"Right," Sage said.

"We are not in love. What is wrong with you, Ulmer?" Ian lightly punched her arm as he walked to his car.

"I'm so gonna kick your ass."

The roller coaster.

What every McKinley high student was most looking forward to about this trip- well, most of them at least. Sage was indifferent, she wasn't a fan of roller coasters usually, but she would never tell anyone that. Since the spider incident, Sage has refrained from telling anyone her fears. That way they can't come back to haunt her.

"You alright? It's nothing to worry about." the three overheard Jayson trying to calm down Wendy. She was a fellow Roller Coaster hater.

"Roller Coasters are just.. elemental physics." Erin starts, attempting to help. "A conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy"

"Yeah, odds are like one in two hundred fifty million of dying in a roller coaster." Ian adds.

"Not helping" Sage punched his shoulder.

"Ow" Ian glares. "You're more likely to die driving to an amusement park than dying at one" He shouted the last part.

"See? No one else wants to listen to your bullshit. Shut the fuck up Ian." Sage bites.

"Aw, is someone else afraid of the big bad roller coaster?"

Sage and Erin share a look before simultaneously punching him in either arm.

He flinched and said "Just get on the coaster, Satan." They take seats near the back, Erin's in front of them sitting next to some kid Sage thinks is in her Modern English class, but isn't quite sure. Ian and Sage were seated right behind them.

"Erin why'd you leave me alone with Satan again."

"You two need to sort out your differences. What better to do that than a roller coaster?-"

"LET ME OUT, LET ME OFF!" Erin's interrupted when they hear screams, this freaks Sage out even more than she already was. "NO IT'S GONNA CRASH, IT'S GONNA CRASH. THE HYDRAULICS WILL RUPTURE, THE TRACKS GONNA COLLAPSE, PLEASE, LET ME OFF." It doesn't take long for Sage to identify the voice as Wendy-

"What's going on?" What looks like somebody important says.

"Yo this chicks on something" The attendant states. Clueless bastard.

"Alright, let them out. Just the back"

Thank god. There was absolutely no way Sage was staying on that coaster after hearing those screams. Everyone in the back slowly began exiting the ride, some more upset than others.

"Whoa whoa whoa, relax. What's the matter?" The manager person asked. Sage was standing next to Wendy, she was one of the first off. Wendy was a wreck- she was sobbing and shaking, looked like a full blown panic attack.
