"Wake up Chummy, we will run late," from Chummy I guessed it was Jay-Jay.
"Five more minutes please?" I pleaded.
"No please.... Get up, you have drop me to school," Jay-Jay spoke.

Wait, what? I am not going to school.

"Jason, food is in the table; Melissa won't go to school today. Hurry up," Mom said.
"Yes Mom," he said.

Silence.

"Why aren't you going to school?"Jay-Jay whispered in my ears.
"I got some work," I said as I opened my eyes.
"Okay," he said and looked down.
"Hey, we can draw together after you come back, okay?" I asked.
"Yeah...." He smiled.
"Okay now, eat and dad will drop you to school," I suggested.
"Don't forget, we are gonna draw when I come back," he said.
"Okay, now hurry up before mom eats you up," I said.

My phone buzzed. The screen displayed 'Shawn.'

Good morning =)
S."

Jay-Jay, could you please do one thing?" I asked.
"Yes, what?" he asked confused.
"Okay, could you beat the door of the guest room and run downstairs?" I asked.
"Oh, so you wanna irritate Shawney?" he asked with a smirk.

Jay-jay just smirked. Oh, the world. He looked so adorable.

"Shawney? Yeah," I said and nodded.
"Fine," he said and ran away, closing the door behind him.

I heard loud knocks on the door and i smirked to myself.
I giggled.

"WHAT'S GOING ON UP THERE?" Mum yelled from downstairs.
"NOTHING MUM," Jay-Jay yelled back and ran down the stairs.

I laughed and hoped off the bed.
Now, that's a good morning.

My phone buzzed, 'Shawn' again.

THANK YOU SO MUCH....
S.

I typed 'you are always welcome,' and sent it.

I brushed and hoped in to shower. I dried my hair and brushed it. I wore my black jeans, white oversized top; I tugged that in and wore a light blue denim jacket. I just twisted the bangs of my hairs and let the rest opened. I applied some mascara, and I checked myself out in the mirror.
Good.

I walked out of the room, satisfied.

I ran downstairs and Jay-Jay was still chewing on his food.I grabbed my cereal bowl, poured some milk and lucky charms in it.

"Good morning everyone," I said.
"Good morning," mum and dad said.

I smiled and stuffed a spoonful of cereal into my mouth.

"So, happy with Shawn?" dad said and winked.
"What was that for?" I asked confused.
"You are enjoying his company, aren't you? Be honest," dad cocked an eyebrow.
"Yeah, right, he is no more annoying, as he was back then. It's cool; I have no problem with him staying here. He can stay here as long as he wants." I smiled and took another spoonful.

"Thank you so much," Shawn piped in from behind.

Dad smirked. Mum laughed. Jay-jay went away to watch Pokémon.

"Was this planned?" I asked dad.
"No honey, it wasn't," he said honestly.
"Fine," I said.

Shawn took the chair beside me, because Jay-Jay was gone.
Shawn gave me a look.
If looks could kill, I would have died already.

"What?" I snapped.
"I think you are falling for me," Shawn smirked.

Was he not aware of the fact that mom and dad were sitting in front?

"Mum, can you please throw him out of the house?" I pleaded.
"I will be back home late tonight, and I'll drop Jason," dad announced, as he got up.
"Sure," mom said getting up too.

Mum fixed dad's tie, and dad kissed her.

"Dad stop, no please. Not here... ugh," I said making an 'eww' face.
"Bye," dad went out of the door, mom behind him and with a jumping Jay-Jay following them. I smiled, and finished my cereals.

"So?" Shawn piped in.
"Let's go," I said.
"You are so excited, ugh," he groaned.
"I'll be back in five minutes, tell mum about it till then," I commanded.
"No, we'll go a bit later," Shawn suggested.
"No way, I can't wait," I said."But-" I cut him off.

"MOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!! Shawn wants to say something," I yelled at mom, who was closing the door.

"I'll kill-" Shawn was gonna say something and I cut him off again.
"Just do it, bye love," I said with a smirk plastered on my face, and went upstairs.

Yeah, I am turning into a bitch.  Damn it.

I ran upstairs, took my backpack like every other day, but today, I even took my big red blanket and Instax Mini 8, cause I wanted to capture the day. I was really excited.

* * * * * * * * *

Shawn and I hopped into his jeep, bought some snacks and put it inside my backpack. We were in the Royal Park. The park isn't Royal but, it's named like that.

We laid my red blanket under a tree and sat on that. We talked for a while until, I convinced Shawn to show me his Bucket List.

He handed me a diary of 2013.

I flipped through the pages, realizing that he has a terrible handwriting. Anyways, I saw a page that said 'Bucket List.'

"Got it," I exclaimed.
"Done reading?" he asked.
"I just found it, anyways, I wish I can help you fulfill these," I said genuinely.
"Yeah sure," he smiled, looking at me.
"Okay, so number one...." I trailed off,
"Nearly die, then don't," I stared at him, "what the hell?"

He giggled.

"Why would you do that?" I asked confused.
"It's adventurous you know, trust me it's fun," he said.
"Okay, I wanna try that too, you mind?" I asked.
"Not a bit, we can try it together," he added.
"Yay, sounds good," I finished.

He had 10 things in his bucket list, they were like- write a poem, take a picture with a tiger, dance in public, jump off a cliff, road trip all around New York, do a downhill cycling, buy a motor-bike, make a friend whom you can call 'bitch', and do sky diving.

"Shawn, I wanna do all of these with you, please?" I asked.
"Sure, we can go together," he said.
"You're sure?" I asked, looking at him.
"Yeah," he agreed.
"You know I always wanted to do these, but, I never found any person applicable, people are so boring," I said rolling my eyes.
"I am not, don't worry," he said.
"I trust you," I said.
"And I won't annoy you," he said.

I giggled.

"I am hungry," he added.

I took my backpack and gave it to him "you take it out, I'll go and get the pops, it's in your jeep," I said, and got up.

I walked towards his jeep and took our sodas or pops, whatever you say. After taking those, I walked back to where we were sitting.

"Here you go," I said, giving him the coke.
"Thanks, but you never said you have a diary too," he said.
"What? A diary?" I asked confused, "don't tell me, you read everything?" I asked.

SHIT. I had my diary in my backpack.

"No, I didn't, I just saw it," he said looking at me.
"Thanks," i said, "I'll show you the day we go to the road trip all around New York," I finished.
"You promise?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"We are going for it, next month," he said.
"Really?!" I said excited.
"Yes we are," he assured.

I gave him a quick hug and before pulling away, and said "thank you Shawn, that's awesome."
"You are welcome," he said, looking right into my eyes.

I was beyond happy, I always wanted to be an outrageous kid, I wanted to go on hikes, camping, trekking, cliff jumping and all these awesome things. Mom and dad never took me to one. Jay-Jay is too young to be my partner, and I barely had friends so, I never went to anything like that.

But, now I had Shawn with me, I was so happy and excited. It was beyond awesome.

* * * * * * * * *

We reached home; Shawn told me that he was going to come to the same school as me. I was happy about it.

I told Jay-Jay I was tired so, no drawing for that day. He agreed.

After having our dinner and talking with family, I went into my room and locked myself.

Devan called me and we talked for a while and we hung up.

Jay-Jay was having a trip to the zoo from school, so he had a different schedule unlike every day, so I will have to go to school alone tomorrow. I convinced Shawn to come with me, and he agreed. I wrote down all the good and bad stuff into my diary and closed it. Then I changed into my comfy clothes and dozed off to sleep after packing my bag for school tomorrow.

I was beyond happy.
