The Fairground

And before I knew it, Eric showed up, sneaking behind and me scaring the living hell out of me.

"BAHHHGAHHHHH BAHHHHGAHHH!!!!!" a scream sounded from behind me.

"Oh and now you decide to show up! You bastard! You told me to wait for you by the restrooms!" I said emotionless in my voice, knowing that Eric has always been wandering off ever since we were kids in middle school. We used to cut class together so that we could play video games at my house since my mother was usually at work around the day time and would almost never find out that we were ditching since we tried to do it inconspicuously.

"Well, I'm here, and man, you should have seen all the attractive, young Betties I've ran into, man. I was this close!" he squeezed the tips of his index finger and thumb together, "This close... to going for it, buddy." he said, waving his hand around, still in the same gesture and position he had just to prove a point.

I rolled my eyes, and said, "If you weren't gonna go for it, what stopped you?" I asked, just to humor him.

"Well, I had to go look for you! I couldn't forget my good old buddy, Arthur, now could I?" he said, winking, and giving me the widest shit-eating grin I had ever witnessed on his face since the first time I saw him smoke illegal marijuana for the first time with our friend, Neil.

Eric leaned over and hug me tightly, and leaned his head on top of my shoulder.

"Get off, you weirdo ass!" I yelped, shaking my shoulders until his head drooped off and he laughed. "So, what ride do you wanna go on there, chief" he asked, reaching his arm back to look like he was scratching his back, but really lowered his hand to scratch his butt.

I raised an eyebrow, looking down at his arm, and said, "Well, I just finished eating that footlong chili dog and I think it would be safe to ride on the Pharaoh's Grudge, so I don't end up getting sick like last time. And I would have given you my nachos but you disappeared for almost 20 minutes."
