P.S. Don't be Afraid

2- New Pet

Kate
[Next Morning]
I wake up to the sun shining in my face and Aidan leaning over me, "Get up, I made breakfast, French toast."

"Oooh my favorite!" I'm happy.

I rush into the kitchen and sit down with my French toast, and I eat it within 5 minutes.

"Thanks for the breakfast," I thank Aidan. "Your welcome." He smiles.

I wonder what I'm going to do today. I've decided I'm going to watch tv.

[Around 2 pm]
"Kate, I've decided what we're going to do today. We're going to... get a pet!" Aidan says.

"Yay!" I scream, "I've always wanted a pet!" I always wanted one no matter what. "What kind of pet? Dog? Cat?" Aidan asks. "Maybe a d-c-I don't know.."

There's a pause, "You decide you're better at deciding." I tell Aidan.

"Well cats are lazy and they eat a lot, dogs are jumpy, they don't eat a lot, cats have sharp claws, dogs like to sleep with you depending on their size. So a.." He says, "Dog." We both said dog.

"What kind?" I ask. "Well you decide since I chose dog and you agreed."

"Fine fine. Uh.. I like small dogs so maybe a.. Shih Tzu? Their so cute."

"Ok, my mom texted me that each parent agreed to split for however much the dog is, and how much more the rent is," Aidan says.

"Ok." I say as Aidan picks me up and carries me outside and then puts me in the passenger seat. "Why are you so nice to me?" I ask.

"Uh..." he hesitates, "I like being nice to you."

I pause. "Alright."

"Love you," he says under his breath.

"What?" I couldn't understand him.

"Nothing," he replies.

We pull up at a house that I've seen before, and his mom gets in the car.

Aidan drives off and has a conversation with his mom the whole time. I just sat there quietly.

Aidan parks the car and we all get out.

"Wow Kate," his mom says, "You look like Aidan, like your his sister or wife."

"I wish she was my wife," Aidan says under his breath. "What?" His mother and I both say at the same time.

"Nothing."

We all walk into the store, and something catches both Aidan and I's eye. A cute black and white Shih Tzu appears. I run over to it and say, "I love this one!" "Agreed." Aidan says.

"Alright if that's what you want," his mom says. It's $15,000. Guess their rich.

My mom gave her $10,000 and Aidan's mother is paying $10,000. Their going to split the $5000.

His mother fills every thing out, and pays. We bring the dog back to our apartment, after dropping his mother at her house.

"It's a boy, what do we name him?" I ask. "Well let's see the names we like. I like, Zack, Walter, Kyle, Brandon, Adam."

"Adam!" I scream. "Ok then, Adam."

"Yayyyyyy!" I say.

I hug him, "Thank youuuuu!"

He hugs me back. Then he goes into his room. "I'm going to take a nap." He shuts his bedroom door.

Thank goodness he didn't feel me tense up even when I barely touched him. Well, since I have nothing better to do, I'm going to do nothing.

[Around 7 pm]
I order pizza from our local pizza place thingy and it arrives at around a half hour later. Aidan comes out and his eyes widen when he sees me eating pizza without him. "What're you doing?"

"Eating." I take a bite from the pizza. "And you didn't invite me?" He laughs, "Thought you were sleeping." I take another bite.

We finish around 9:30 because I started to watch tv, so he joined in. "Night." He walks into his room and shuts the door. "Night!" I say loudly so he hears.

Aidan
I get into my pajamas and sit on my bed under the blankets. Putting my light that moves from its place, I don't know what it's called, parents got it for me, but I put it over my clean sheet of paper, where I write about my day. Yes, boys write about their day too.

"Today was great. We got a new pet, Adam! He's a dog, very cute. Kate loves him, too. She even got pizza without me, (how rude,) but she thought I was sleeping. Can't stay mad at her. I feel like she's afraid of someone or something. I'll try best to figure it out.

I wonder if Kate likes me back. I feel like she's the person who was meant for me, like somethings special between us. Her features: Name, Looks, Personality, etc. Just everything that could be good about someone you like. Maybe she'll start to like me back.

I think I'm going to-- Wait no! I think Kate must have a clue that I like her. Oh no. She asks me why I'm so nice to her, and I replied with the stupidest thing: "I like being nice to you."

Well, I'll end it here. Goodnight self."

I close the journal and I hear Kate walk into her room, shutting the door. After tossing and turning, having stuff on my mind, I peacefully fall asleep, dreaming about what life would be like dating Kate, or even if we were married.
