"Guys, I got an idea!" Elton exclaims, suddenly. 

"What's up dude?" Corey asks. 

"Instead of just sneaking here and risking expulsion, why don't we just ask? I mean, the worst they can do is say no, and we'll just come back here," Elton suggests.

"That's actually not a bad idea," Sam shrugs. 

"Do it, just ask if we could stay after hours, see if they let us!" Ellie chimes in. 

"Alright, c'mon guys lets go," Elton waves, motioning everyone to get down the water-slide. 

We all file after Colby, who suddenly stops. 

"Guys! There's water at the end!" He shouts to us. 

"WHAT DO YOU EXPECT AT THE END OF A WATER-SLIDE!" Elton screams from the back of the line. Everyone laughs at his comment. 

"Colby, don't be dumb and just move out now!" I add. 

He raises his arms in surrender and we all laugh. 

We move down and Elton brings us all into some food hunt. He greets the guy, around our age, and straight up asks if we could stay after hours. 

The dude says, "See, my boss isn't here but if you slip in some cash... say three-eighty and you got yourself a deal."

"Wait, seriously?" Colby snickers in the back. 

"Yeah, seriously?" Elton repeats, facing his camera at him. 

The worker replies, "Yeah, man."

"Deal!" Elton claims, "So we can ride all the rides and everything?"

"The rides are going to cost you a little more..." The guy contemplates. I internally roll my eyes. This guy better pull through, I for sure want to ride all the rides here again. 

"Okay... how much?" Elton asks. 

"Let's say,  four-fifty?" The guys responds. 

"You got it," Elton agrees. They shake on it, and I'm shook. 

"Holy shit," I whisper to Amanda, my insides are already feeling giddy. 

"Did he just say yes?" She whispers back. 

"Mhm, oh my god," Ellie whispers with us. 

We all squeal a little and the guys look at us and smirk.

The dude Elton asks offers Elton a price of four hundred fifty dollars for us to stay and Elton agreed. 

YES.

Guy knows his stuff, thank god Elton was willing to pay the price or we would of had a serious problem. 

This is going to be a good night.

"So what's first?" Elton asks. 

"THAT ONE!" Corey exclaims, pointing to a ride that spins when you help push and spin the wheel. 

"YES!" Sam agrees. 

"Kay let's do this!" Elton laughs, running to the ride. 

Everyone follows, and you could already feel the positive vibes radiating off us. This group, these type of nights, are what I live for. I'm glad, thankful even, to have made the decision to move out to California before school started. The people, they make me feel great. The fluorescent lights of LA make my stay worth while. Literally, every single person is just an array of fun times. My love for this state is amazing. 

And I'm just realizing this as I spin in a purple hippo ride, after hours, basically illegally, in an amusement park for an overnight challenge video. 

How crazy is that. 

The dude straps us in, tells us if we fly out, we'll probably die, and good luck because the more the weight in the ride, the faster it'll go. 

Fun. 

The screaming in the ride was hilarious. I then saw Ellie, who sat on Colby's lap. It hurt, yes, but I couldn't do anything. Eventually she'll find out the truth, she'll know the real reason why her best friend never had a crush in high school. 

Sometimes it gives me actual pain because the closest person I know doesn't know my deepest secret. 

Physical pain.

Heart aches for her.

Not just him.

Sometimes I hate liking my rival.

But I mean, 

I still do.

Sup, it's officially the first day of summer and school just ended for me and I'm so excited because tomorrow I'm going to an amusement park and today I was busy so that is why this update is short and posted so late...I'm so fucking sorry guys:(. BUT MY BEST FRIEND FROM CALIFORNIA IS MOVING BACK TO CONNECTICUT (where I live) AND I'M SO EXCITED WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER SINCE PRE-SCHOOL. I have literally told every single person I know and announced it on so many social media platforms it's not even funny. That is how much I love this girl. Ah, I love life. This is going to be the best summer ever. Hopefully I could update three times a week because of summa 17'
