Chapter Seven- Meeting the boys

As we drive towards the place where the fair is located I notice just how the lights at the fair light up the sky and display a beautiful sight. Even from a far off distant you can notice the colorful Ferris-wheel, it's a beautiful sight and green, pink and a whole other bunch of colors make the sky look cotton candy themed. I don't have anyone to gush over this with besides my parents however because my siblings practically jumped into Jonathan's car.

He insisted we address him as Jonathan instead of Mr Abbott because calling him by his last name makes him seem 'old', whatever thats supposed to mean. The sudden liking they have taken to him is weird but it's not like I can say I did not see this coming, the guy does have a way with words and does not seem as creepy as I initially thought.

When my dad finally finds a parking spot after what seems like years we all get off . "You teens should go ahead and enjoy yourselves. Meanwhile I will show your parents this restaurant I've been telling them about. It's just down the road from here and if you need any one of us you could just call. We will meet back here at midnight, and here's € 100 each, spend it wisely." And with a wink sent our way Jonathan and my parents disappear into the night.

"Where do you guys suggest we go first?" Nikki asks, not even phased by the large sum of money given to each of us.

"Well I'm really hungry and in the mood for chocolate donuts, so how about a food stall?" I immediately suggest, deciding not to draw attention to the money as I choose to spend it wisely instead.

"You've got to be kidding me! Jassy you had two plates of lasagne like 15 minutes ago." Kean complains, the audacity of this kid.

"I had dinner you doof, I want dessert now." I try reasoning with them but the looks they give me tell me I'm not about to win this one anytime soon, so I decide to bring in the big guns.

"Why the heck do you look like a constipated seal." Nikki and Kean look at me in disgust.

Well there goes that "I do not! I was going for the puppy eyes look. But since you people are too blind to notice cuteness you guys won't be able to tell.", I say hurt at them comparing me to a constipated animal. Why are they always comparing me to constipated animals, I should really practice my pouty faces in the mirror before showing them to anyone.

"Yeah, yeah. Still looks pretty hideous to me.", Kean mocks me further.

I really wish I could drop kick Kean of the great wall of China but those are dreams for some other day and I hear jail food taste like butt, so I won't give up my love just for a bit of sanity.

"Fine what do you weirdos suggest we do?", I say giving in.

" I was hoping to go on the Ferris wheel." The minute those words leave Keans mouth I stand there looking at both of them in pure horror.

I hate heights it's why I'm 5.1 feet, I can't even climb a bunk bed without feeling nauseous. How on earth do they expect me to go on a Ferris wheel almost 63 feet off the ground. I know I couldn't stop gushing over it on our way here but I never actually wanted to ride it. Just thinking about it makes me want to pee my pants.

They both know about my fear of heights though and this is confirmed when I turn to look at them and see the smug looks on their faces.

"Uhm...I...I c-cant g-go on a F-Ferris wheel." I try to say.

"But Jassy honey, you have to learn to overcome your fears at some point in your life. Why not tonight?", Niki says causing my heart to beat faster.

They're doing this on purpose, I wish I could wipe those smug looks of their faces. "W-Why don't you guys go stand in the line while I go quickly grab something to eat?" And without waiting for them to respond I run off.

This place is bigger then I thought. I've been looking around for chocolate donuts for the past 5 minutes, not that I'm complaining though because so far I've only found a hot dog stand and I bought myself some fries covered in cheese sauce and jalapeños, and a sprite to wash it all down.

I continue walking around and when I finally spot a bin to throw my dirt in, something hard collides with my back and I'm sent tumbling forward trying not to drop my sprite on the floor.

It does fall however and some of it gets on my vans and ripped jeans, well at least none of it got on my favorite black crop top.

I turn around ready to lash out on the boob who ruined my outfit and killed my baby, but when I look at him, I'm annoyed as I don't see his face at first and I have to crane my neck to look him in the eyes so that he really feels the full effect of my death stare.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there.", he says rubbing his neck sheepishly.

This 6 feet,dark brown eyed stranger extends his hand offering to help me up. I decided not to lash out at his handsome brown skinned self and accept his help.

Soon four other guys appear behind him ,worry evident on all their faces. "What happened Jordan?" one of them that looks similar to the one that just helped me up asks.

"I accidentally bumped into her while running away from Diego and now her soda is everywhere." Jordan says.

"Once again I'm so sorry,....?", he says asking for my name. "Jasmine.", I decide to tell him.

"I'm Jordan by the way," he begins. No way I really wouldn't have guessed that was his name, especially with his friends constantly repeating it. Is what I wish to say but my social anxiety prevents me from letting out any sarcastic remarks.

Speaking of social anxiety, having so many eyes on me at this moment makes me want to crawl into a ball and die. Naturally after this big lump of a human bumped into me and sent me flying due to my petite frame, a lot of attention was drawn towards us and now a crowd has gathered watching our exchange. It feels as if a million and one eyes are on me, I don't even know what to do. And my fast beating heart and sweating palms don't make matters any better. If I was not glued to the spot with fear I would have turned and ran in the opposite direction a long time ago, instead I am turned into a statue fixing my eyes on Jordan in hopes of gaining some of my sanity back.

"Can I buy you another drink?", he says after a while, breaking the awkward silence.

I nod and turn to look at the other guys waiting for them to introduce themselves. "I'm Diego." The one with dark blonde hair, blue eyes and pale skin says.

"I'm Michael, Jordan's cousin.", the one who looks similar to Jordan but with honey brown eyes says.

"I'm Karan." The Indian with black brown hair and brown eyes says.

"And I'm San.", the one with black hair, dark eyes and tanned skin is the last to introduce himself.

Well they are all really tall and good looking, I'd give them that much.

I would have said something along the lines of 'Nice to meet you, I'm Jasmine' if I was a normal person, but unfortunately I am the furthest thing from normal and the only sound that comes out of my mouth is a weird noise.

They all look at me weirdly. Thankfully Jordan notices that I'm glued to the spot in fear and decides to tug at my sleeve forcing me to move foward.

Jordon buys my soda and they all pitch in to buy pizza's and ask me to join them. I refuse at first because I barely know them but when they insist as 'they feel they have to make up for their meat headed friends mistake and it's not everyday they get to witness a pretty girl forgive Jordan instead of kick him in the nuts for being a klutz' , their words not mine, I give in. And besides it's free pizza no one ever says no to free food, well at least I don't.

"So where you from Jas, I haven't see you around here before? It's okay if I call you 'Jas' right?" Karan asks a little too friendly for my liking.

You can't blame me though, I have a horrible history with people who get friendly enough with me to let my guard down and then once they've succeeded in that they attack me and make me question my faith in humanity.

"Yeah it's cool, I guess. And I'm from Mumbai, India." I say taking a long sip of my soda.

"India? That would explain the accent." Michael says.

"So what brings you to Amsterdam?" ,Diego is the one to ask this time.

"My mother got promoted at work so she was moved to the office here in the Netherlands. I actually landed earlier today and my mom's boss thought it was a great idea to come here to get to know our new home a little. I don't know where my siblings are at the moment though. I should probably go look for them. Thanks for the pizza and soda. " I say getting up desperate to get away from these good looking strangers.

"We could come with you if you want. This place is pretty big and you could get lost easily." San says as they all get up and follow me not even waiting for my response.

Well this is going to be a long night.
