S M A L L S - June 20,1962 - 8:00 P.M.
We were all walking on air that night. It had been a solid victory. In fact, we beat the crap out of those guys. So we all went to celebrate. And we did the stupidest thing any of us had ever done. And saw the most jaw dropping thing any of us had ever saw...

"Hey, guys, it's all on me tonight!" Benny announced as they all reached the ticket booth. All the boys cheered while Sam smiled.
Benny is so sweet, Sam thought.
Benny asked the guy in the stand for ten tickets and then he turned around. He gave each and everyone in the group a ticket. After he was done, they turned around and started going up the steps of this ride called 'Trabant'.
"Aw, crap! I almost forgot!" Bertram suddenly called out as he remembered something. They all turned back around and ran back to him.
"What?" Sam asked once they reached him.
Bertram pulled out white bag from his back pocket. "Chaw! I was saving it for a good time."
"What is it?" Scott asked.
"Big Chief." Bertram sniffed the bag, "The best."
Sam rolled my eyes. Of course he would bring chewing tobacco. Sam knew what is was because she would see boys their ages with bags of it around town. She always saw them chewing it and she overheard that it was tobacco.
"Jeez, Smalls. I suppose you don't even know who The Babe is either." Ham teased. Sam glared at him but he didn't notice.
The boys-except Benny-started to laugh at Smalls.
Sam opened her mouth to say something buy Ham beat her to it. "It's plug. Wad. Chewing tobacco."
"What do you do with it?" Scott kept asking.
"You're killing me, Smalls. Chew it, of course."
"You do?"
"Yeah, sure, man. All the pros do it." DeNunez explained.
"Yeah, yeah. Gives you tons of energy." Yeah-Yeah said.
Bertram passed the bag around and all the boys took a piece. When the bag reached Sam, she shook her head and gave the bag to Benny. Benny shook his head as well and handed the bag back to Bertram. Sam furrowed by eyebrows in confusion.
"Let's ride!" Bertram exclaimed. The boys cheered and ran to the ride. Sam decided to walk to it the second time she was going up the steps of the ride. All the boys were already in seats but Benny was at the top of the steps, offering his hand out. Sam shook her head in amusement as she handed the owner of the ride her ticket.
Sam walked to Benny after handing off her ticket and accepted his hand. He lead her to an empty seat.
"Ladies first." He smiled and motioned to the seat. Sam blushed, let go of his hand, and stepped in. He stepped in afterwards, sitting down then grabbing Sam's hand, intertwining their hands.
The things this boy does to me, Sam swooned mentally.
Benny lowered the bar over the both of them and the ride came to life. They started spinning slowly, then faster. Sam closed her eyes when she immediately started to feel nauseous.
Oh god, I think I'm gonna throw up, Sam thought.
As if Benny read her mind, Benny slid his hand out of hers and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. Sam laid her head on his shoulder.
"So, mind telling me what happened earlier, Sam?" Benny asked her, he was told that she would tell him later.
"Okay," Sam sighed, but kept her eyes closed. "After I left, I went to visit Wendy and see my mother and father for the first time in years. That earned the tittle of the worst mistake I have ever made. I found out they had another ankle biter, a boy named Jacob. I felt hurt because he's getting a good childhood when I didn't. Mom and Dad couldn't afford me but they could afford him? I feel so betrayed, Benny. If they really loved me, they would've fought for me."
(A/N: Ankle biter- a baby or small child.)
Benny was quiet for a few moments, trying to figure out how he was going to say what he wanted to in the nicest way possible. He didn't want to make her mad, or worse, make her cry. He hated to see Sam sad. "Sam, they probably fought for you but couldn't keep going. I don't wanna seem like a bad guy but, talk to your parents. They'll probably explain more about this to you, okay?" Benny held his breath, waiting for her response.
"Okay.." Sam opened her eyes, and Benny sighed out in relief. Sam then turned my head and leaned in, wanting to place a kiss on Benny's cheek.
Instead of feeling his skin against her lips, she felt soft lips against hers. Her eyes widened and she wanted to pull back but she felt bliss wash over her. Sam's eyelids dropped shut and their lips started to move together in sync.
The ride slowly came to a stop and it was oblivious to the kissing pair. From afar, all of the boys that were scattered around the ride in different seats, saw what was happening. All of their jaws dropped even though their stomach hurt and they were covered in their own vomit.
After a few more seconds, Sam realized what was happening. She pulled back quickly, their lips disconnecting with with a soft click. Sam quickly examined Benny's face; his lips were slightly swollen and dark pink, his eyes wide and bewildered. Sam knew she looked exactly the same.
Sam gripped the metal bar holding them down and pulled it up. She jumped out of the seat before running down the steps and passing the boys who were slowly walking down, moaning, clutching their stomachs which were covered in a dark gooey substance.
Yuck, Sam grimaced.
She shook her head before making her to to the dump, which was basically her home.
