My mother scoffed. “Yeah, right.”

I groaned and my mother shook her head. I exited

the house and got into my car before I realized I had

no idea where I was going. Taking out my phone

and dialing Jonah’s number, I waited patiently in my

car.

“Yes?” Jonah asked.

I licked my lips. “Well, Jonah, I’d love to spend the

day with you but I don’t know where I’m supposed

to be going.”

“You’re supposed to be sitting inside your house

because I’m 5 minutes away,” Jonah stated and I

sighed before getting out of my car.

“How about sitting on my porch?” I asked him.

He made a disapproving sound. “Not quite, you need

to be in your living room, on the couch.”

“Not going to happen, babe,” I felt my face redden as

I realized what I said.

“Since when do you call me babe?” Jonah

questioned.

I scoffed. “I never said that.”

“I’d further my assumption but I’m scared you’re

going to shout ‘cheeseburger’ and hang up.” Jonah

laughed and I glared at the ground.

I sighed. “You stupid saltine.”

“That’s me,” Jonah muttered. I heard the sound of

tires on gravel and I stood up to see Jonah’s familiar

blue car in my drive way. I grinned as I walked over

to it. Jonah opened his door and got out, holding me

in a tight hug. I grinned into his chest as the sun

shone down on my face.

I’m glad it’s a sunny day, today. Well, any day with

Jonah is a good day. “Happy Birthday, Savannah.”

I smiled up at him. “Thank you.”

He opened the passenger’s side door for me and

closed it after me. I sat there and waited for him to

get into the driver’s side. When he did, he closed the

door and pulled out of the driveway.

“Where are we going?” I questioned and he was

quiet, I figured he wasn’t going to tell me so I sighed

melodramatically. “It’s my birthday and you’re

keeping secrets from me?”

He laughed. “Well… where do you think we’re

going?”

I shrugged. “I don’t know; if I did, would I have

asked you?” I sarcastically retorted.

“Where is a fun place to go on a sunny day?” he

asked me as if the answer was obvious.

“Chuck E. Cheese?” I suggested and he scoffed.

“Well, yeah, but a different place.” He replied and I

shrugged.

“I don’t know…the beach?” I asked him and he

sighed.

“Yes, but….?” he was still hopeful that I’d get it. Third

times the charm, right?

“The carnival?” I questioned and he grinned.

“Ding, ding, ding.” He exclaimed and I furrowed my

eyebrows.

“Where’d you find one of those?” I questioned. I

swore the carnivals started coming here around

April, not mid-February.

Jonah shrugged. “I did a little digging, and it turns out

that there is a carnival only two towns over. They’re

open today!”

I rolled my eyes and smiled. “I thought they were

closed.”

Jonah scowled. “Are you always this sarcastic on

your birthday?”
