The TV blared in the living room where I sat, my legs stretched out with ice packs under both of them. I let out a yawn and felt something move past my head. I looked over my shoulder to see my white fur ball behind me. I giggled as I reached over to pick him up and placed him on my lap. "Aww, how have you been Eduardo~?" I purred to the cat. It's oval shaped ears flickered.

"I still can get over those oval ears," Sophie said appearing behind me. "What is it again? American something?" She squinted her eyes as she looked at Eduardo, trying to think of the simple word that completed it.

I rolled my eyes at her and Eduardo patted my face with his soft paws, trying to get my attention. I smiled at him and rubbed under his chin causing him to purr. "First off, IT has a name. Eduardo is an American Curl, and I happen to love his cute oval ears."

"EDUUUUUUARDOOOO!!!!" A loud screeching voice yelled from the corner of the room. I looked at my sister with an annoyed look before looking at the annoying pest in the corner.

"Why did you ever get that...that THING." I pointed at the cockatoo, glaring at it with disgusted.

Sophie gave me an offended look and walked over to the bird. "Johnny Bravo is not a THING, he's my precious little birdy~" my sister cooed as she wiggled her finger inside the bird's cage. I watch it snap at her finger but Sophie quickly retracted it out of the cage. She smiled at me brightly. "See? He's precious!"

"If I were a pirate, and my captain had that thing as a pet. We'd be having bird for dinner." I retorted. Sophie glared at me as she hugged the cage. Her stupid bird pecked her hand and she jolted back.

"How can you not love his little face??" She pouted, sucking the blood off her finger. "I mean, look at him!" She pointed at the bird. Bravo's head was scrunched up to it's body, his mouth was slightly opened and was drooling.

I made a disgusted face and stood up with Eduardo in my arms. "Er...as much as I would love to stay here and talk about that animal over there, I'm just going to go to my room with Eduardo-"

"EDUUUUARDOOOO!!!!!!!!" The bird screeched once again. I blinked and stared at the bird as it started to twitch. Slowly, I backed out of the room, while keeping my eyes on the two creatures in the corner.

I trudged up the stairs and walked to my room. I yawed loudly as I fell backwards into bed, holding Eduardo close. 'Such an eventful day...' I thought. 'It really did feel like a roller coaster. First the bloody smiley face, then Otis coming. Evan acting strange, Chad, and that soccer game...'

I shook my head then gently stroked Eduardo. My eyes started to feel heavy, closing by themselves every so often. I yawned once more, fully closing my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

??? POV

I tapped my fingers against the desk while scrolling through the internet, trying to find out when the next meteor shower was. I chuckled to myself as I found what I was looking for.

Closing my laptop, I leaned back into my chair, both hands behind my head and kicked up my feet onto the desk. Looking through my window I saw the night sky light up with millions of stars. I grinned while looking at the calendar hanging on the wall in front of me.

"May 22. Just you wait Stella Scofield. Enjoy everything while it lasts."
