you okay?” she asked with concern, noticing him fidgeting nervously.
“Yeah,” Ryan uttered quickly, trying not to look down.
Damn, now she thinks I’m weird! Alright, get a hold of yourself Beckford, you’re not…that…high up, he thought trying to calm himself. He looked at Cat and a warm feeling came over him. His fear began to subside. There’s something about this girl that just draws me in. She passes by me at school without even a glance. But for some reason I’m always aware of when she’s around. I mean I know her schedule already, isn’t that a little creepy? He laughed to himself. Cat looked over and saw a goofy smile plastered on his face and wondered what he was thinking about. Ryan quickly turned away, realizing she caught him staring at her. Looking over the edge and noticing how high up they were, he immediately stared straight down and moaned, clutching the lap bar tightly.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” she asked trying to make eye contact with him.
“Yeah, yeah, sure, I’m fine. Really,” he murmured loosening his grip. An awkward silence fell between them.
Cat felt Ryan staring again and turned to look at him. Feeling embarrassed that he had been caught gazing he dodged her glance and looked straight ahead. Realizing the ride stopped, he jumped from the seat and took off into the crowd without a backward glance.
Well that was odd. Why was he staring at me? I bet that’s why he was fidgeting. He was regretting getting on the ride with me. I know he doesn’t like me because every time I pass him in the hallway he acts like I’m invisible. Sighing, Cat caught sight of Julie waving to her. Walking toward her, Cat noticed Isaac leaning against the counter of the midway game behind Julie. His cold stare watching her as a cat does with a mouse. She stopped herself from sticking her tongue out at him and grabbed Julie by the arm, leading her toward the house of mirrors where she saw the others waiting for them.
“Where have you guys been? We’ve been waiting here for like ten minutes!” Amanda demanded tapping her foot with arms crossed.
“Sorry guys, we had a little run-in with you know who. But it was no big deal. So how were the rides?” Cat asked changing the subject.
“They were great!” Amanda replied, noticing Cat looking at Elle who was hunched over holding her stomach.
“Elle, you okay?” Julie asked. Elle nodded.
“Of course she’s okay, you enjoyed it didn’t you Elle?” Amanda asked putting her arm around her. “Now let’s take a break from the rides and head into the House of Mirrors! She exclaimed, leading the group up to the large and very creepy clown face entrance.
CRACKLE…CRACKLE… “Welcome to my house of mirrors! It’s full of surprises! Beware of the walls, they might move on you! Hope you can find your way out! If not, oh well!” A creepy voice came through the speaker in the clown’s mouth. “Yes, welcome!” The menacing laughter that followed sent chills down their spines. Entering the mouth and pushing their way through a wall of black curtain, the group slowly approached a door with a sign that read “Fun this way!” The door slowly creaked open revealing a labyrinth of mirrors. It appeared as if their reflections went on forever. Entering last, Cat was mesmerized. It took her a few seconds to realize that the others were far ahead and she had fallen behind. She hurried to catch up, but found her path suddenly blocked by a mirror that somehow appeared in front of her. Oh wow, that’s what that creepy ass clown voice meant by moving mirrors. I bet there’s some mean little man operating them . The mirrors seemed endless and just when she thought she had found a way out, more mirrors were placed in her path. Looking around she saw nothing but her reflection looking back. Where did the path go? She was completely surrounded with no apparent way to move ahead, to the sides or back. Watching her reflection, she saw her image slowly
