The Fire of Life

chapter three
surprises

That night at dinner I ate so much! I ate 2 servings of potato's, 3 of chicken, 5 of desert, and 4 rolls. I was stuffed! I felt like I had just eaten a mountain. After dinner I got a phone call from Jacob. Jacob Stoner. "H-Hello?" "Hey, can I speak to Aphrodite?" "Speaking." "I was wondering if you'd like to go out tomorrow night." My eyes widened. A date, him and me? Was this really truly happening? Was the cutest guy in school asking me out? "Sure, I'd love to." "I'll pick you up at seven o' clock tomorrow then." The call ended.
I quickly dialed my friends number, from my old school. "Hello?" came from the other end of the phone. "Guess what Stacie!?" " Aphrodite?! I thought I'd never talk to you again. What?" "Well, you know how we always talked about Jacob Stoner?" "Of course! How could I forget the guy that made us become friends?" "Well, they put me in his school." "NO WAY!!! First, I can't believe they even put you in a new school. Second, YOU'VE ACTUALLY SEEN HIM???!!! LIKE IN PERSON??!!" "Yep, and, he just asked ME to go on a date with HIM!! I just can't believe it." "Did you say yes? I mean, only the strange people say no, but did you?" " I said yes. So now I have a date with Jacob tomorrow at seven o' clock." "EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!" We both screamed at the same time. "Well I have to go. My mom says we need to talk." I said. "see ya."
"What is it mom?" "What were you screaming about in there?" "Oh I was asked on a date and I was talking to Stacie." "Of course, you and Stacie used to talk all the time." "Well can you make this quick I'm really tired." "I'll just get to the point then. Next week we're going on a vacation." "So?" "So, its based on magic. You get to use as much as you want." "As much as I want??!!"
A magic based vacation. I can't believe it! The next thing I know they'll have gotten me a cat. "Oh, and, before you go we're going to get you a cat tomorrow." said my mom. Ok, this is starting to get weird. Oh well. Even though it was weird I loved it!!!

The next morning we got me an orange tabby, cat. I bought a food and water dish, a litter box, food, litter, and anything else I'd need for my little kitty. I named my cat Caralyn. She was such a good little kitty. Then I remembered that I need to get ready for my date. I ran to my room and put on some nice clothes. Then the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" I yelled. I ran to the door. "Hello." said Jacob. "Are you ready?" "Of course I am." I answered. I was having the best day ever.
