It all started one day after work, when my friends and I were discussing theme parks. A girl named Rosie said she liked big, scary rides, and for some reason I said I loved them, too. I should have said that I'm terribly afraid of them. Two days later, Rosie told me that she had booked tickets for our group to go to the nearest theme park for the following weekend. She insisted that I go, and promised that I would enjoy the roller coaster, because it is the highest and fastest in Europe! When we arrived at the theme park, Rosie and her friends went straight to the roller coaster. As we waited in line, I got more and more nervous. By the time we got to the front of the line, I was panicking. I refused to ride. I was so embarrassed that I went home alone. The next day, I spoke to Rosie and apologized for ruining the trip. She was very sympathetic and didn't blame me at all for being afraid. What she couldn't understand was why I'd lied - and so had Arid. The next day, I spoke to Rosie and apologised for spoiling the trip. She was very sympathetic and didn't blame me at all for being afraid. What she couldn't understand was why I had lied in the first place - and neither can I!
