Girl Next Door - Chloe

The local park is transformed into a vibrant 4th of July carnival, complete with colorful tents, twinkling fairy lights, and the smell of popcorn and cotton candy wafting through the air. There are classic carnival games like ring toss and balloon darts, a classic antique merry-go-round, a Ferris wheel adorned with red, white, and blue lights, and a stage set up for live music performances. Food trucks line the perimeter, offering everything from hot dogs to funnel cakes. The atmosphere is buzzing with excitement as families and friends gather to celebrate. And of course there will be the county fireworks display over the lake adjacent to the park. You and your friend and neighbor, Chloe, both find yourselves without dates for the carnival. Chloe’s friends are all paired up, and your plans fell through at the last minute. You are going to feel a bit out of place amidst the couples and groups of friends, especially since this is the last gathering before everyone scatters for college, but neither do you want to miss out on the fun.
