The One With the Fears

Zadie:
So, my mom's home. greatttttt. It was about 3 in the morning and I was still awake. Don't know why to be honest. I guess I wasn't tired...or I was too afraid of Alex pranking me. Yeah, mostly that.

I got up and went to the bathroom to take my makeup off and saw it. It was clinging to the floor, staring at me dead in the eye. A beast from Satan himself.

A spider.

Now, you might laugh, but I have a good reason to hate spiders. Once, when Del, Leo, and I were at the pool, a spider got in my swimsuit. It was a one piece too. It was swim season so we had too. It was a garden spider and it was still alive. That scarred me forever. And you know what Leo and Delta did? They laughed! Like, not funny.

The spider in my bathroom is huge and it's having a stare down with me. What do I do? No way am I calling Alex or Wren to kill it and definitely not my mother.

I've already asked Delta to way too many times this month. Maybe Chase will come kill it. Yeah, I'll text Chase.

whatta guy that Chase is. Oh crap, I haven't introduced Chase to my mom yet. That's gonna be fun.

I was standing on top of the toilet and realized the spider still hasn't moved. Boldly, I stepped down and slowly inches closer to the demon creature. then, I realized. it wasn't a demon creature. It wasn't even a creature. It was a hair clip. Chase is probably on his way over already. Should I text him?
Yeah, I probably should.

I quickly but quietly ran down the stairs to open the door. There, I saw Chase standing with his hair wet and droopy and an unimpressed look on his face.

"I'm sorry." I said, trying to hide a smile. He kept frowning which made me cover my laugh. "I'm sorry. It's not funny."

"A hair clip?" He looked at me. "Really?"

"I know, I'm a dummy." I faked being sad.

"Yeah, not gonna disagree, but you're my dummy."

"You wanna have some cereal?" I asked him. I mean, it was breakfast time. "I have Cheerios, but we ran out of milk, so we'd just have to eat it dry."

He scrunched his eyebrows and tilted his head. "Sure."

I grabbed the box of Cheerios and showed Chase to my room. "So, you can stay here, but you can't let my mom see you."

"Um okay. Are you sure this is okay, Z?"

"Yeah, it's totally fine."

So...we sat on my bed, watching Netflix, and eating cereal out of the box. We never went to sleep. We just kinda talked the whole night and watched movies.

At about 7 he went home and went to bed. And I did too.
