I sat on the hard bed with my head in my hands. How I ever got myself into this situation was beyond me, and when my parents find out, I'm dead...
Now, don't get me wrong, I wasn't innocent. I knew when I decided to sneak out of the window of my house to meet up with Andria that by the end of the night I would be in huge trouble, but at the time I had thought it would be worth it. And I hadn't realized I would be under arrest for doing it.
It had started out with Andria picking me up. Her pick up truck was half a block from my house, so I ran down there and hopped in the car with her. Her wild brown hair framed her flushed face, her father must have chased her on his motercycle.
Andria came from a poor family. It was only her and her dad, her mom had died of overdose a few years back. Her father drank, smoked, and didn't always come home every night. He was a mechanic and took his cars very seriously; somehow, he had found the money to own at least four cars. I wasn't sure just how many he owned and Andria wasn't either. There were times when you're in the car with him and you pass a car parked on the side of the road with about a dozen parking tickets on the hood, and you'll hear him shout out "That's my car!". Which means that he has to pull over, produce a pair of keys out of nowhere, and go get in the car, leaving Andria to drive the car we had orginally been riding in home.
I, on the other hand, came from a rich family. My parents also believed that the way to a good life was to not drink, smoke, go on vacations, go to theme parks, ride roller coasters, go swimming, or do anything that was fun. It also meant that even though I was fifteen, I had to go to bed at eight-thirty sharp, wasn't allowed to watch R rated movies, go to parties, or learn how to drive. (Of course, I already knew how to drive, thanks to Andria) So it was only natrual (and my parents fault) that i snuck out of the house to go and have some fun every weekend.
We went straight to Freakin' Fred's Amusement Park. It had the biggest, the baddest, the greatest roller coaster the world had ever seen. It was named Shiver, but why I wasn't quite sure. It was the longest ride the world had ever seen, a full ten minutes. However, just getting to the top of the first drop took about six minutes, so the actual twisting, turning, and dropping only lasts about four minutes.
We met up with Jane and Sammie, and got in line for Shiver. We waited an hour and a half, finally got on the ride, and had the time of our lives. And then we got off and found that now there was nothing to do that could possibly compete with the Shiver, and none of us wanted to wait in line again.
Andria then set her sights on a bear. It was a big stuffed bear, almost as big as a SmartCar. The only way to get it, however, was to hit a moving target dead in the center. After eighteen tries between all four of us, and winning three stuffed sharks, a giant pair of sunglasses, a giant sombrero, and a stuffed dog, we had no more tickets, no more money, and the park closed in five minutes.
Andria wasn't going to give up. As soon as the park closed she snuck back in with us in tow, and headed straight for the stuffed bear. We dodged gaurds and workers, and finally made it to the booth. A metal gate had been shut over it so there was no way of getting in.
"Alright, no way in, let's go now, And-" I hadn't even finished the sentence when Andria opened the gate and grabbed the bear.
And as soon as she grabbed it, the loudest alarm I had ever heard went off.
And that is how I got to be sitting in a jail cell with my three best friends, one of whom was wearing a pair of giant hot pink sunglasses and playing with two stuffed sharks, another one wearing a giant sumbero and also playing with a stuffed shark, Andria with her giant stuffed bear, and me with my own large stuffed dog.
Andria lifted her head after a moment. "That was fun! Let's do it again!"
