Walker and his family invited me to go to the fair with them and i was so excited!
I haven't been to the fair in so long, and now im going with walker. He had planned for us to go separately from his family. I was perfectly okay with being with them. I told him it was okay, but he insisted.
———
"Hey, wanna go on that ride," he points up to a pretty big rollercoaster.
"yes, we should! Although, it looks like it goes upside down a lot," i smile.
He takes my hand and walks us to the entrance line to the ride.
It was a good ten minute wait. We were next to board on when some kids cut in front of us. I was not pleased with that.
I tap on the kid, "you guys can't just cut us."
"okay? you guys were too slow," the kid says with a disgust tone.
"excuse me? you guys literally waited as long as we did," i tell him as i start to get frustrated. Not because we had to wait or anything, it was because of these unmannered kids.
"it's fine, y/n. We can just wait again. We would be the first ones on for the next ride," walker whispers to me.
Now we're unnecessarily waiting again. Should've bought those fast lane tickets when i had the chance.
The ride was coming back and it was finally our turn.
The gate opened and walker and i went to one of the seats towards the middle back.
It was the kind of seats that hang with the bars that go over you to secure you.
"I'm so glad i didn't eat that much before coming," walker laughs.
"right... i was about to devour those funnel cakes earlier," i laugh with him.
The ride was slowly going and it was moving upwards. My feet were dangling. I'm so glad i didn't wear my crocs.
Walker thought he was funny and kept kicking my feet the entire time we were going up. Obviously, I was kicking him back. We can be childish together.
We were at the top and then it stopped for a second before going down super fast into a sharp turn.
Walker was screaming and laughing. I couldn't tell. I was laughing the entire time and my head was stuck looking down. I was trying to pick it up.
It went into an upside down loop twice. Then, it went sideways.
All of a sudden everything stops. The ride had stopped. But we were stuck going up.
"is that supposed to happen," i ask walker.
"i don't think so.." he whispers.
"Ride has malfunctioned, please wait."
I look over to walker, slightly panicking.
At least we didn't get stuck upside down in a loop or something bizarre.
"It probably won't take long," he reassures me.
If only those kids didn't cut us.
I felt his hand go on mine.
———
We were finally getting off that ride after like thirty minutes or something.
"that was fun while it lasted," walker chuckles.
"true! i mean what could go wrong now," i say.
I felt someone bump into me, knocking my lemonade out of my hand.
"oh, come on!"
I look beside me to see the same kid again.
"Hey! Are you not gonna say sorry," walker raises his voice at the boy.
"for what? she was in my way.. again," he snaps.
"first, you look old enough to know how to be polite. second, she wasn't in your way. You're just a jerk," he says, getting between me and him.
"aren't you walker scobell? that one actor," one of his friends say.
I bend down to grab the empty cup and throw it away in a nearby trash can.
"oh shi it is. Imagine your fans seeing how much of a jerk you are," the boy laughs.
"i'm the jerk? respectfully, you're the one who's been causing problems. Did your mother drop you as a kid," walker asks.
"okay, walker.. let's go. Who cares about them," i grab his arm and guide him away.
"if we bump into them again, im throwing hands," he mutters.
"no you're not," i tell him.
"but i would," he says.
"but you're not," i wrap my arm around his.
"let's try those games over there," he points at the places where you do those fair stands.
"let's go to that basketball one," i say.
we walk over there and he pays for the thing.
$5 for 3 shots. I don't know if that's a rip off or not.
He has to make the shot and it doesn't seem that far, but it's pretty high.
He misses the first one.
The second one.
And the last one.
"wait... lemme try again," he says, paying for it again.
"don't waste your money on this, walker," i tell him.
He goes for the shot again.
He misses.
And again.
And again.
"okay!! one more," he says more determined than before.
"babes, that's $15 down the drain," i laugh.
He pays again and he completely misses again.
"one mo-"
"no!"
I take his hand and take him somewhere else.
"let's go to that one," i look at the toss the ring around the fishbowls.
"i'll win you that teddy bear," he points at the cute brown bear hanging in the corner.
"you can try," i smile.
he pays for his turn.
$7 for 5 tosses. Me personally i wouldn't pay for that.
He does a little concentrating face before throwing his first one and it misses.
and again.
and again.
"two more," i try to sound encouraging.
He flunks the two shots.
"i'm done! we're moving on," he throws his hand around out of frustration.
He walks over to a balloon popping game.
"This time i'll win something.. for you," he smiles at me.
I give him a thumbs up.
He pays for the darts.
$6 for 4 darts.
He throws a dart and misses it.
Today is not his day.
He misses his second one.
and the rest.
"walker... i think you need to take a break," i pat his shoulder.
"but i wanna get you something," he frowns.
I pay for 4 more darts.
"I'm gonna try," i say.
I threw the first dart and it pops.
Walker gasps, "you did it! how do you make it look so easy..."
I threw the rest and it all landed on a balloon making it all pop.
I started jumping in excitement, "I did it!!"
"good job, y/n," he pulled me into him and kissed my cheek.
The worker asked me to choose a prize. I pointed at the semi-big toothless stuff animal. He hands me it.
We turn to walk away from the booth.
"here, this is for you," i smile.
He smiles and takes it, "how the tables have turned."
"Even if the day wasn't so perfect, being with you is what matters the most," i hold his hand.
"this can be ours," he holds up toothless.
"he kind of looks like you," i laugh.
"shut up, no he doesn't," he nudged my shoulder with his.
