Chapter 16

"Even elder bro testifies that you speak too much, such a blabber mouth". Aurora mumbled loud enough for Damon to hear. "You should keep quiet when two elders are talking alright". "I only see one elder here so I thought it was alright to talk". Aurora retorted. "Well you obviously saw wrong and there obviously is two so you should either get your eyesight checked or your brain". Damon replied with a satisfied expression plastered on his face. "Do you hear that eldest the words of a numbskull". "Did you just call me a numbskull". " No I said you used the words of a numbskull when you're not makes me wonder". "Aurora do you want this car turned around". Damon said blowing steam. "Thank goodness it's not you driving and it's you who used the words of a numbskull". Aurora said putting so much emphasis on numbskulls like she was trying to rub it in. "Aurora stop baiting your brother and you Damon stop rising up to her baits , you guys have done this for years you should be immune to her by now". Brandon said cutting in and ending the banter that threatened to last ages if they were left alone. Damon and Aurora, kept giving each other looks all through the ride and once in a while Paul would chuckle cause their fights didn't make any sense neither did the funny looks they kept passing. Brandon ignoring the two children and Paul who was enjoying their tantrums suddenly seemed to notice Arianna hadn't said anything in a while and turned to see her spaced out. "Is everything fine Ari you're too quiet "Yeah I'm good just kind of meditating and trying my best to stick my nose out of the kids tantrum". Arianna joked with a fake smile. "Don't worry you wouldn't have to endure long we're almost there in a little while I'll be separating the kids". Brandon taunted back. "Bro Brandon if you separate them wouldn't the kids start crying their mothers are not anywhere close nobody to breastfeed". Paul also said chipping into the taunt. Now everyone in the car was against the two. Soon the amusement park gates are in sight and it brings a loud shout of excitement from all the occupants of the car. The park was so beautiful that Arianna concluded that the often spoken about Pearly gates of heaven couldn't be prettier. No wonder it was so popular and Aurora couldn't stop talking about the place and wanting to go there. "Okay is this paradise". Damon asked awestruck . "Maybe not heaven but definitely a brief insight at what heaven would look like". Brandon replied. "All that colour blast and blend so pretty, it's so cute like how do mix so many colours together perfectly I've never seen this in all my years of researching colours I want to meet whoever designed this park". Aurora said looking like she tears threatening to fall from her eyes. "Alright, enough admiring from here let's go in there and go explore". Paul said. "Hold your gun young man would you at least let me park". "Oh.... My bad so sorry almost forgot we were still in the drive in". "Not almost more like you forgot". Arianna said teasing him it was unlike Paul to get too hasty. "It's more of Brandon's fault for stopping in the drive in I almost jumped down myself". Aurora said. "Why was she rising to his defense that was unnecessary". Arianna thought entering into her jealousy mode and clamming up again. Soon they got to the parking lot and Brandon parked the jeep after which everyone descended. They had arrived at the park quite early so it wasn't the afternoon rush hour time even though they were close to it. They descended and stood by the car drinking in their surroundings it wasn't hard to draw attention to themselves they were a bunch of good looking peeps standing together with two out of them wearing couple outfits and the two looked like candy waiting to be eaten. "Is it that we're looking like greek gods and goddesses or Paul and Aurora look like a celebrity couple". "What". "I'm wondering what is drawing so much attention to us". "Don't be jealous nobody asked you not to be as pretty as I am". Aurora said replying Damon with a smirk. Arianna was sick and tired if the internal battles she kept having to fight and how everyone seemed immune to the effects of their words on her mind. Paul and Aurora were indeed drawing attention to them with them looking so compatible and in matching outfits. The people weren't even hiding it and were pointing hands and fingers at them, two girls who looked their human age had passed and we're whispering about how lucky Aurora was to have Paul. "It is rather him who is lucky to have me". Aurora had replied the girls shooing them away. "She didn't deny it or hate it, knowing Aurora her response should have been we're not couples and how she wouldn't date him for a thousand dollars". Arianna thought to herself. "Arianna is everything alright, you look quite pale". Brandon said once again taking notice of Arianna spacing out just she looked so distraught sort of this time. Aurora looked over and seeing that her best friend really didn't look too good sidelined everyone and went to get side "Is everything okay Ari, do you feel sick or something, do you want to go back home or sit in the car for a while". Ari looked up at Aurora and syebahd to fight back the tears that threatened to pool in her eyes, how could she even hate on Aurora if her suspicions proved correct she had wanted to come to the park so bad but she was more than ready to go back home cause Ari looked sick . "I'm fine, Aurora". Arianna said struggling to pull a smile out of her thoughts. "It's fine we can ditch the park and fight to come back another day maybe sneak after school". "I'm really fine a cold drink and all would be good let me go get us some drink. "Let's go with her Paul, catch you guys later". Aurora said and pulled Paul and Arianna away with her into the park.
