Imagine your alarm going off one morning in July. You rub the sleep out of your eyes with your delicate knuckles and remember what day it is. You push your covers back with your long slim legs and fuzzy-socked feet (even in summer your feet are always cold). Then it hits you. Today is the day that you and your boyfriend are going to the roller coaster park together! You wanted to get there just as it opened to get on all the best rides, so he'll be here soon to pick you up. You're so glad that you don't eat breakfast and don't need to put a lot of makeup on. Your cheekbones and jawline are already so angular and they make your eyes look so big on your face - definitely a time saver on mornings where you feel rushed like this one!
You walk over to your closet and quickly decide what to wear. It doesn't matter too much - everything looks good on your tiny body. You decide on some cutoff denim shorts and a favorite cropped t-shirt. You slip off your fuzzy socks and put on a pair of white vans to complete the look. Pulling your long hair back in a high ponytail and grabbing your phone and sunglasses you know you're ready to go.
You sit on your front porch with a bottle of water and wait for your boyfriend. He pulls into the driveway a few minutes late and you're especially glad that you were ready to go so quickly so you two can definitely make it in time for the park to open.
"Hey baby, you look amazing." he smiles, excited to see you and leans over to give you a kiss as you hop into the passenger side of his car. Your thighs barely touch as you sit and you instinctively turn the air conditioning down as you start bubbling about all the things you want to do in the park today.
You guys get the the theme park a few minutes before they open and there's already a crowd forming in front of the gates. They will definitely already be lines for all the good rides, but you're not too stressed. You have all day.
You save a spot in line while your boyfriend goes to buy tickets. Being alone in large crowds used to make you nervous but now you know that the only people looking at you are staring at how beautiful and thin you are. You hear someone near you whisper to their friend while looking in your general direction and the only word you can make out is 'model'. You nervously wrap your fingers around your wrist. Plenty of space. He meets you in line with your tickets and seems to sense your unease, so he puts a loving arm around your tiny boney shoulders and assures you that you're about to have one of the most fun days of your life.
When the gates finally open everyone starts walking quickly to the biggest baddest roller coaster in the park. You smile at your boyfriend with a bit of mischief in your eye and grab his hand.
"Oh God what are yo-" he tries to say but doesn't get the words out in time before you're pulling him through the crowd. You weave back and forth in between people, passing between them almost like a spirit. They might not have even noticed you bobbing in between them if it weren't for your boyfriend ungracefully knocking into them behind you.
"Sorry! Oh my God I'm sorry." You can hear him saying behind you, but you laugh and pull him along anyway. You finally arrive at the most terrifying roller coaster in the whole park and the two of you laugh as you get in line.
"Geez, Baby" he laughs with a hand on his forehead "I just about stampeded over a couple 8-year-olds back there!"
You giggle apologetically. "Well the wait time is only at 15 minutes right now. I think a few civilian casualties was worth it."
He reached the end of the short line and are directed to get into the front car. You buckle in and the right attendant looks at you wearily and comes to try to tighten the strap. He looks like he's mildly concerned that you might just slip out of the ride, which doesn't make you feel any better. Finally, everyone is loaded on the ride and the car takes off and immediately starts climbing to the top of the biggest drop you've ever seen in your life. Your heart stops.
"Is it too late to get off??" You ask your boyfriend with panic in your voice.
"Oh we are way beyond that point." He laughed, trying to sound calm but you can hear that he's also scared silly. He grabs your hand and holds your tiny fingers, probably as much for himself as for you.
You get to the top and slowly go over the crest. The ground is so far away, and your pointed straight at it. And then, you're dropping towards it. Three seconds and you're zooming up the next hill again. You scream and laugh and try not to pass out from the adrenaline as the coaster flings you sideways and upside-down. After what seems like no time at all, the ride is over and you're shaking and laughing as you get out of the car. Your boyfriend is laughing too and helps you walk towards the exit.
"That was SO MUCH FUN!!" You scream.
"Absolutely not. Can we just go get some drinks and sit down for a minute?" You need a diet coke stat.
He laughs and holds your hand again, walking you towards a drink stand. "Maybe afterwards I'll play some carnival games and win you a teddy bear."
"Aw! And I can carry it on my back for the rest of the day!"
"You mean like this?" He squats in front of you and grabs your legs, hoisting you into the piggyback position, which is no issue at all for him since you're so light. You laugh so hard you start crying. "Where to, m'lady?" He asks.
"Onward to Diet Coke!" You point dramatically.
This really is the best day of your life.
