We ride to the fair in Scott’s A5, which is a little cramped, considering how big Nathan is, trying to squeeze in the backseat. Glen is pressed against the dash to give him enough leg room, but it still isn’t enough. Scott and I laugh at their complaining.

We arrive at the fair, which is full of people. I’m not big on the rides, but I do like the food and watching the performances. Nathan and Scott play a few games, while Glen and I watch, eating popcorn and cotton candy. We see a few of our friends from school, who sit back, watching Scott and Nathan go head to head shooting basketballs, neither of them missing a shot. ‘Show-offs.’

The girls ood and aad, admiring them. Glen and I roll our eyes, our insides begging us to punch them. Well, I only assume Glen’s is. They tie the game, walking away with huge bears that are bigger than me and Glen.

As Nathan turns around, holding the orange-colored bear under his arm, a girl I don’t recognize runs up to him.

“Hi, I’m Sarah. Can I hold your bear? It’s cute.” She’s smiling too big. I stand back, watching her. Glen is in my ear, enticing me to check the situation. I’m calm.

Nathan looks at her face, showing no interest. “No, my girl is going to hold it.”

“Right—me!” She jumps slightly as she speaks.

“Wrong—her.” Nathan looks at me. I can’t help smiling at him. He is perfect.

Still by his side as he approaches me, she says, “Well, I’m okay with sharing.” She wears a slutty smile.

“I’m sorry…Sarah? I’m not okay with it. That’s your exit,” I say. Sharing? Really?

“Well, when you get finished playing with her, come find me. I’ll teach you a few things.” This bitch cannot be serious.

Nathan starts pulling me away. “That’s okay, Sarah. I don’t associate myself with girls who like to share.” He turns us around and I can hear her cursing our backs. Nathan tries to hand me the bear. It’s way too big to walk around with.

At some point, Glen left my side and is now next to Scott, who is handing her his purple bear. She is smiling, but refusing to take it, considering how big it is.

“Hey Scott,” a familiar voice says loudly, from an approaching group of girls.

Scott pushes his hand through his hair, wearing a look as if something bad is about to happen. I pull Nathan to walk faster. Glen isn’t as laid-back as I am, and I can already see her turning around to see who it is.

Pepper walks up, with a hand on her hip. “You can’t speak, Scott?”

“I didn’t know he was obligated to,” Glen states, stepping in front of Scott.

Pepper looks at Glen like she’s a cute puppy. “Aww Glen, you’re hot over Scott.” She shakes her head with pierced lips. “You, and about all the other girls at school. What is it Scott? First you don’t talk to anyone, and now you’re talking to Tracey and Glen?” Tracey?

I start to step forward.
