I wake up on Wednesday morning and the first thing that pops into my mind is Shawn. Today is the day that he is taking my sister and I to have some fun. We don't usually do things like this, or to be more precise we never do things like this. Money and time are the two things that tie us in place and takes away from any fun we could have.

Realizing that is almost eight o'clock in the morning I hoop out of the bed, getting ready for work. Since today I won't work all day, I figured I should make it up by getting there earlier.

I tie my wavy hair in a high ponytail, put on some shorts, a tank top, and my old worn converse. I then write Emma a note telling her that I left for work earlier, so she would know where to find me when she wakes up.
She will show up soon cause she will eventually get hungry.

Work goes out smoothly throughout the morning and the clock keeps ticking.
Emma who has been hanging around with me, turns around from facing the window and says. "Rose. Shawn is here." She's been waiting for him, for about an hour now.

"Just a second." I say carrying four menus in my right hand and a plate with drinks in another hand while walking over to the table that had ordered them. After I finish everything that was left to be finished I look through the window seeing Emma and Shawn chatting outside. They seem to get good along each other.

I smile to myself and quickly go to the bathroom and take my sweaty uniform off. I fix myself so I don't look like a fried potato.
I decided since I already had my ponytail up, why not leave it on. Curled baby hairs all over the place, and cheeks as pink as a tomato. I shrug knowing that there is nothing I can do about it and then walk out to meet with Shawn and my talkative sister. She definitely likes him.
A lot.

"You guys ready?" I cheer coming out of the building to find Shawn leaning against the wall while looking at me, probably a little bit too long.

"We've been ready such a long time ago." My sister groans while Shawn is still staring at me. I smirk.

"Shawn." I come closer to him trying to wake him up to reality.

"Oh. H-hey Rose. You-I- Um...How are you doing?" He says really quick and weird while his cheeks get rosy pink.

"I'm doing great." I laugh.

"Great." He clamps his hands together. "So what are we waiting for? Lets go!" He takes us by surprise and starts running before us stopping in front of his car. My sister and I glance at each other, both shocked. Without any hesitation Emma takes running ahead of me and reaches his car getting inside. I stay behind and walk up slowly.
I don't know how am I supposed to feel about this. I thought that we were going to walk but never even dreamed about him driving us around.
Is it even safe for me to get in his car?

Shawn opens the door for me as I get in front of his car and mentions me to take a seat inside. I look in the back over at Emma and she gives me a thumbs up and a small smile.
A voice rings in my head saying to just get in the car and I do so without even thinking about it.
Shawn then starts the engine and I buckle up my seat belt. We're going to die.

"And I said 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough teeth to eat something as big as that.'" At that I burst out loud laughing so hard that Tears are coming out of my eyes. Shawn is telling me stories about him and his sister. Those two are hilarious!

Right now we are walking in the park while eating cotton candy. My favorite actually!

"Okay. You gotta hear this one." Shawn says all exited and takes a bite out of his cotton candy. All of a sudden a strong wind blows and lucky me for not being careful and not holding my cotton candy strong enough, it flies right out of my hand on the ground. Great.
