Ok! I have an excuse! First of all, I apologize for not updating yesterday! I was planning to, but life is unfair
Our old router was sort of dying on us, so we got a new one. So, I didn't have internet because the first time my brother tried the new router, he didn't do it right. So my dad did it today and it worked >_> So, here's day 2! I'll probably get day 3 & 4 out tomorrow. Agh, and I wanted this to be done a chapter a day
Oh woe is me. And to add to my 'luck' I have an ear infection which I've had for around 10 days and I went to the doctor about 4 days ago and apparently I've got "swimmer's ear" or something O_o I don't even swim... Owie my ear. Anyways, I shall stop blabbering about my boring life

Day Two
I was definitely more confident than yesterday but the anxiety was still there, at the back of my mind. I suppose there isn’t much reason for me to worry about today, me and Eri have already done this loads of times. Yes, today we are going to an amusement park. I think that I won’t wear my lucky muffin pants today… you know, just in case we go on that new ride that’s
very high…and…it’s high.
Anyways! I’m hoping that we can go into the haunted house; It’ll be my chance to prove myself to Eri.
I arrived at the entrance to the park 10 minutes early. Looking around, I saw no sign of Eri. Leaning against the entrance gates I again went over my mental list.
Tickets– check
Purse with everything I need – check
Tight but comfortable jeans – check
Stylish t-shirt – checkI was ready. Now just to wait for Eri…I glanced at my watch. It was our agreed meeting time.
“Now, just to wait thirty more minutes,” I breathed out to myself.
“I always thought that the main attraction was inside the park.”
My eyes shot open. I slowly turned around and was greeted to a beautiful sight of Eri. Her hair was down, waves playing at the bottom. She wore a sky blue tank top that was decorated lightly with English words and a few flowers, and denim short shorts that showed off her wonderful thighs. I could feel blood rushing to my head. Was she trying to make me have a nose bleed?!
“Risa-chan?”
“Can we stay here? I just found the main attraction.”
Her face flushed. I’m pretty sure not because of the heat.
“Risa-chan, I may be the main attraction to you, but you can’t ride me,” Eri remarked teasingly.
She grabbed the tickets from my hand, winked, and began walking into the park. I gawked at her for several moments. I think she’s been hanging out with Miki and Reina a bit too much lately. But then again, I like a sassy Eri as well. I wiped my nose. Okay, no nose bleed. I ran after Eri. I better be careful today.
Eri and I both screamed at the top of our lungs as we dropped to the ground at a frightening speed. We may have been strapped into our seats, but we still held onto each other. We were both inside a small ball that was fashioned to work like bungee jumping. The ball dropped and bounced back up by the stretchy rope that held it. I managed to persuade Eri to come on it with me. I wonder why I even wanted to get on this thing. IT’S SCARY!
After bouncing several more times, we dismounted (more like stumbled) off of the ride. Sitting down on the nearest bench, we both tried to calm down our racing hearts.
“I’ll be back in a minute,” I said to Eri. She nodded. I got up and went to go get a slushie for her.
“Here.” I handed her the drink, and she gladly took it. After several sips she seemed to have calmed down.
“I am
never doing that again!” Eri exclaimed. I smiled at her.
“But you’ve got to admit, it was fun.”
“Risa-chan, is your idea of fun having a heart attack?”
I smirked. “Not exactly.”
We decided to do a less strenuous activity next. Walking hand in hand, she took me to a shooting stall. She squealed.
“It’s so cute! Nee, nee, nee, Risa-chan! Will you win that for me?” she asked me, pointing to a turtle plushie.
“Sure. I’ll always get you anything that you want,” I replied. Eri smiled at me sweetly. I handed over money to the man at the stall, and received a cork gun.
“You get 5 shots,” he said.
I aimed the gun straight at the turtle and fired.
Miss. Four shots left. Fire.
Miss. Fire.
Hit! But it only nudged the plushie. Fire.
Hit. It moved more than before.
“It’s your last shot, missy,” the man informed me.
I licked my lips nervously. My last shot. My finger danced over the trigger for a couple of seconds. Please let me get it! For Eri! I pulled the trigger. A direct hit. The plushie swayed and wavered over the edge of the shelf. Fall, please! It feel backwards back onto its bottom. I looked away and let out an annoyed hiss.
“Congratulations, missy. That was a close one!” the man exclaimed. I felt Eri’s arms wrap around me.
“Thank-you, Risa-chan!”
Huh? I looked back and saw the plushie lying on the ground. The man picked it up and handed it to Eri. She gladly took it and squeezed it. Then I realised how I won it. After it had fallen backwards onto its butt, the force continued to push it backwards so it fell over and off the shelf. I mentally laughed. I guess you could call that a backwards victory.
“Thanks for playing! I hope you young ladies have a great day.” the man said to us. We nodded our thanks and began to walk away, searching for our next activity. I looked at Eri who was walking to me; she tightly holding the toy.
“You really like that plushie, don’t you?” I asked, amused. She nodded enthusiastically.
“It’s so cute. But now I’m going to make sure nothing happens to it.”
“Oh, why’s that?” I asked.
“Because Risa-chan worked hard to get it for me,” she explained. I felt my face heat up.
“I’m going to name it Risa,” she stated, smiling at me sweetly.
God, wasn’t there any part of this girl that
wasn’t cute?!
We got lunch after visiting a few more stalls. Eri absolutely insisted on buying lunch since I had already bought everything else. I tried to pay but she demanded that she would. I gave up; after all, she puffed up her cheeks and everything. We happily ate away at our crepes. Mine was lemon and sugar, hers was strawberries and cream. She was so cute when she was eating. She would take a bite out of her crepe, cream covering her lips. Then she would proceed to lick the cream off, and that would take at least three licks. We took a bite of each others before finishing them and moving on to find more rides. Much to my disappointment, the haunted house was closed for reconstruction. Eri seemed slightly disappointed as well.
“I didn’t realise that you liked the feeling of your heart racing a lot, Risa-chan,” she said to me.
“What do you mean?” I asked, tilting my head to the side. She tilted her head as well.
“Well, usually when you go on rides you get really scared and start screaming to get off. But today you seem to really be enjoying the rides,” she commented. I tilted my head back upright.
“They still scare me; it’s just that they’re not as scary when I’m with you. When I’m with you, it’s fun,” I stated. It was true as well, but not only that; it wasn’t so much the rides that made my heart race, but her. Eri slightly leaned her head down, trying to cover the blush that had appeared.
“It’s the same for me,” she whispered out. A huge grin appeared on my face.
“That’s good, I don’t want you to not be having fun.”
She nodded her head. I gave her hand a gentle, reassuring squeeze. She was getting shyer now that I was being more open about my feelings. Kamei Eri is cuteness itself.
The sun was starting to set, tinting the sky a beautiful orange. The park was going to close soon, and there was one ride that I wanted to take Eri on. Taking her hand, I lead her to the short line that was waiting to ride the Ferris wheel. I was surprised at how few people there were, but I was glad that we wouldn’t have to wait long to get on. I was nervous that she might take me wanting to go on this the wrong way. The Ferris wheel is one of the most used rides by couples. I just wanted to show her the view. Our turn to board came and we both stepped into the car. I felt my arm rub against hers as I sat down next to her. The car shifted as the wheel began turning. Neither of us spoke. The atmosphere wasn’t an uncomfortable one, more of an unsure one. Several times I tried to take her hand which lay next to mine, but each time I would pull my hand back. Maybe I should just take her hand, relax the atmosphere a bit… but maybe it’ll make the atmosphere turn awkward… I suddenly let out a scream and jumped up when the car shook. I could hear Eri giggling next to me.
“You really are a reaction queen. The car only stopped you know,” she said. I swear my ears turned red from embarrassment. I sat back down next to Eri.
“The view is amazing,” she breathed out, gazing across the city.
While she gazed at the city, I gazed at her. She looked so beautiful. It seemed as if the evening light was hugging her, making her glow. I wrapped my hands around Eri’s which were on her legs.
“This is what I wanted to show you,” I said. I felt her hands tighten around mine. She turned and looked me in the eyes, smiling.
“Thank-you.”
I couldn’t help but lean and kiss her. Not on the lips but on her cheek. I couldn’t tell if she was blushing because of the light, but I’m pretty sure she was, I could tell by the shy expression in her eyes. I pulled her into my arms and felt her head lie against my shoulder. We both watched the scenery.
“Eri, about this week-“ I started, but was cut off by her fingers against my lips.
“Shh, that doesn’t matter at the moment. I’m your girlfriend, right?”
“Right,” I said.
Several more moments passed. Only the sound of my heartbeat, Eri’s breathing and some seagulls flying by filled my ears. If only I could have stayed there forever.
“Are you happy?” she asked. I leaned my head against hers.
“Definitely,” I replied. “Are you?” I asked back.
“I’m happy. Very happy,” she answered. I smiled.
I felt the car move again; we were going back down. When we were near the bottom, Eri sat back up. We both smiled at each other before getting off of the car and walking arm in arm to the main gates. We both got into a taxi and headed to Eri’s house first. Of course, I escorted Eri to her front door. Much to my delight, she was still guarding her new turtle plushie. As a present, I got a good night and a good night kiss on the forehead. I paid the taxi driver once I arrived back at my house, and happily floated in.
Today was a good day indeed. I can only wait eagerly for the rest of the week.
