I walked into school with Jess. She was telling one of her so called funny stories. I wasn’t listening to her because I noticed  Blake with Stephanie and he had his tongue down her throat. I couldn’t believe what my eyes were seeing. I knew that he wasn’t the one to commit to a relationship because he told me last night, but that still doesn’t give him the right to go and stick his tongue down some girls throat. Especially Stephanie.

Stephanie has been bullying me for a while. I think its just because she is jealous. Jealous people will do anything that they can to try and steal the spotlight. That is exactly what she is doing. I guess she saw me staring because she looked me straight in the face and smiled. Then she stuck her tongue down his throat. 

I couldn’t stand it anymore. Seeing him with her makes me pissed and jealous. I am never jealous. I don’t know why I am acting this way. I only knew him for a few days but it hurts me to see him with another girl. I thought that we had something, I guess I was wrong. 

Jess noticed me staring at Blake and Stephanie. 

“I’m sorry Cassie” 

“Its fine. Its not like we were going out or anything” I turned and looked at her “Want to ditch school with me?” 

“Cassie you have never ditched school befor”’ 

“Well today I am”  I started to walk towards her car. 

“You coming or what” 

“Fine, but we are going to go to the carnival” 

“Do we have to. You know that I don’t like carnivals because carnival have clowns” 

That's a circus idiot” 

“I am not an idiot” 

“What ever. Get in” 

We arrived at the carnival and went straight to the food stands. 

“I am so hungry” 

“I can see that. You have a plate full of food for a giant” Jess said laughing 

I didn’t what to say so I just stuck my tongue out at her. 

“That all you got” 

“Shut up” 

“Ok, What do you want to go on first?”

“Lets do that one” I said pointing to the big rollercoaster

“Come on lets go” Jess said a little to excited and dragging me by the arm. 

“Jess you are hurting me” 

“Sorry” 

She finally let go. 

We were in line for about an hour when I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around to see who it was. I didn’t recognize him. 

“Yes?” 

“Sorry I just wanted to say that you are very pretty” 

“Um thanks” 

I turned around and gave Jess  the look. I didn’t need to explain myself because she knew all of my looks and I had a lot. 

When we finally got on the ride. Jess decided to ditch me to sit in the front.  So I got stuck sitting with the stranger that called me pretty’ 

“Hello” 

I looked at him and rolled my eyes. 

“Sugar there is no need to roll your eyes” 

“Who do you think you are calling sugar” I stared at him like he was crazy 

“Umm you”. 

“You don’t even know me”

“Then I will get to know you. It can’t be that hard” 

“Well what if I don’t want to get to know you” 

“Then that stinks because I am a hot catch” 

“You hot” I said laughing “Your average” 

I guess he didn’t see that coming because his face showed it all. I couldn’t help but laugh at him. 

“Why are you laughing?” 

“You should’ve seen your face when I called you average. I guess you don’t get that a lot 

“I don’t. This was the first time” 

I was just about to say something when the person on the intercom said “Please make sure you a strapped in. The ride is about to start” 

“Here we go” 

“Yea here we go” 

And we were off.

 I screamed for most of the ride. I’m not that big of a fan of roller coasters or heights and the whole time Mr. average was laughing at me. God I wanted to smack him. When the ride was done, we got off and made our way to the exit. I felt a little light headed. Before I could fall he caught me. 

“Thanks” 

“No problem” 

“You know what I just realized” 

“What did you just realize?”

 “You haven't told me your name yet” 

“Well my name is Tray” 

“Well hello Tray. I’m Cassie” 

“What a lovely name Cassie” 

“Well thank you 

“Would you like to get some fried dough with me” 

“Oh my god I love fried dough” 

“So, I take that as a yes”

“Yes but I just have to tell my friend, be back in a second” 

“Ok I will be right here” 

I turned and walked over to Jess and told her that I will be with Tray for a little.

“Who’s Tray?” 

‘The guy that called me pretty when we were waiting in line for the ride” 

“Oh, ok meet me at the car in an hour” 

“Ok. I hope that you don’t mind”

“I don’t. Go have fun with Tray” 

“Thanks Jess” 

I walked back over to Tray. He grabbed my hand and we walked together to the Fry dough stand. 

“So tell me a little about yourself” 

I only told him the little things like. How I am still in high school and that my parents split up and how my my boyfriends cheated on me with my best friend. The juicy stuff.

“Wow that guys sounds like a douche bag for cheating on you. I’m just saying if I was him. I would never cheat on you "

“Well he his, and thanks. That is very sweet” 

“Like I said I’m a catch. Any girl would love to go out with all this” He said raising his eyebrows up and down” 

“You are so full of yourself”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” 

“It all depends” 

“What do you mean” 

“It just depends on how guys show it. Some guys only care for themselves. They know that they all that and sexy and then they use that to get girls. They don’t respect them. They use them. Then there are guys that know that they are good looking but they really don’t care. They know that they don’t have to impress girls. They make sure that they respect them and treat them well”. 

“I see what you are saying. But maybe they put on that show because their scared. They want to fit in with everybody else. So they have to become someone that they are not" 

“What I don’t get is why. You should be you. That is what makes you special because your not like everyone else. You are your own person and you shouldn’t be afraid of that”. 

“You’re not just pretty. Your also very smart”. 

“Its my turn now to ask you a question”

“Go ahead” He said as he leaned back and put his hands behind his head. 

“Why me? Why did you decide to talk to me? There are a whole bunch of fish in the sea that you could have talked to” 

“Well, when I saw you, you seemed different” 

“Different how?” 

“When I look at you I see a girl that got hurt. Multiply times. I saw that you are a caring person who people love to be around. You care for others. Not all girls are like that” 

“So I am different in a good way?” 

“Yes” 

“I see” 

“Now my turn, why did you decided to give me a try?” 

“At first I thought that you were annoying and that you were just trying to get with me. But then when I got stuck with you on the stupid roller coaster I had no other choice” 

“So you just started talking to me because you had to?” 

“No. I thought that I should give you a chance to prove yourself and when we started talking it was nice and I enjoyed your company”

“Now that's more like it” 

I slapped his arm. 

“What was that for?” 

“You were being too full of yourself. So you got what you deserved” 

“Ok, whatever you say sugar” 

“Why do you keep calling me sugar?” 

“You really want to know?” 

“Yes” 

“Because you’re sweet like sugar" 

“I might be sweet right now but that doesn't mean that I am all the time. But you wouldn’t know that because you don’t know me that well” 

“I will give you that”

I looked down at my phone and realized that it was time to meet Jess. 

“Umm I got to go meet up with my friend that I was with earlier” 

“Before you leave can I have your number?” 

I thought about it for a second. Did I really want to talk to this guy again? I decided yes, so I wrote down my number on a napkin and he did the same. 

“Cassie?” 

“Would you mind if I ask you to take you out on a date?” 

“I don’t know .I just broke up with my boyfriend a week ago and I’m not quite ready to start a new relationship”.

 “I understand”

 “But how about you call me tomorrow and maybe we can go to the movies as friends. What do you say?" 

“I say yes. I will call you tomorrow” He walked over to me and gave me a gentle kiss on the cheek. 

“I guess I will see you soon” 

“I guess so” 

“And thank you. I had a fun time”

“ No problem I enjoyed myself as well”

I gave him one last wave before I walked away to go meet Jess at her car. 

I saw Jess leaning against her car with a big smile plastered on her face. 

“Whats with the big smile” 

“I was kind of watching you and Tray” 

“You were what?” 

“I was watching you and Tray and it seemed like you were enjoying yourself and him” 

“As a matter of fact I was. He wasn’t like the other guys that I talk to. He was different and really sweet” 

“I am very happy to hear that. Are you going to see him again soon” 

“Tomorrow. We might go to the movies” 

“I guess we got to go shopping!!!!” 

“Do we have to?"

“Yes. You dragged me here so I am dragging you to the mall” 

“Why do we have to go to the mall?” 

“Because you have a date” 

“I do not have a date. We are only going as friends” 

“I don’t care. I am calling it a date and that's that” 

“Whatever” 

She shoved me into the car and headed to the mall.
