Chapter 206

Hanging upside down on the roller coaster as it plunged from its peak, Zebulon was hit by a wave of weightlessness. He screamed, and so did everyone else. It was the kind of scream that came from the thrill of the ride, not embarrassment.

But next to him, Quinlyn was giggling with pure joy, her laughter making his scream feel just a bit more like a cry for help.

“Wow, the wind feels so good,” Quinlyn said, spreading her arms as if embracing freedom.

The next moment, Zebulon let out a shriek. “Hey! If you want to feel the wind, let go on your own. Why are you grabbing me?”

After one ride, Zebulon felt like he was about to collapse. He lay on a bench, barely conscious. Today, he’d pushed past his slight fear of heights just to play a prank.

But the target of his prank was still full of energy. Quinlyn checked the map. “Next is that one. Let’s go.”

Zebulon followed Quinlyn’s finger and saw the giant swing. The giant swing, the aerial ropeway, the flying over the horizon, the flying machine… Quinlyn seemed to have found a new kind of thrill, going for the wildest rides.

Finally, Zebulon squatted by the roadside, retching. His face was ghostly white. He waved his hands weakly, begging Quinlyn to stop. “No more… Please, Quin. One more ride and I’ll really die.”

Quinlyn looked conflicted. She hadn’t meant to torture him, but it was his money after all. She held the tickets and asked, “Can I go on by myself then?”

“Sure, please go ahead. I’ll wait for you here.” Zebulon wanted her gone, like a bad dream. He just hoped she’d leave quickly.

Quinlyn saw he was miserable, so she bought him a bottle of water and then skipped off to the next freefall ride.

Zebulon felt like he was dying. He collapsed on a bench and complained to his friend.

[Come to us with her. I promise she’ll learn a good lesson.]

[But my uncle said I could only take her to the amusement park.]

[It’s just a party with some old classmates. No big deal.]

Zebulon thought about it and agreed. ‘Humph, I’ll get even anyway.’
