Kitten

My friend always says how sleeping is a way to escape from the people who are annoying you.

Of course when that particular friend is saying your name over and over again and poking you that

escaping thing becomes kind of difficult. Maybe if I throw something at him he'll leave me alone.

"Cassidy" he says as he pokes my shoulder

"Whatever it is, no." I reply

"Oh come on, at least open your eyes" he says back

I open one of my eyes to see my friend with a small kitten in his arms, and a large smile on his

face. I just stare at him and the kitten for a minute in shock. My friend notices my shock and starts

laughing.

"No, no, no, you don't get to laugh. What is that?" I ask still shocked, which causes him to laugh even harder.

"Her name is Fae" he says "and we're keeping her" which causes me to start laughing, and he

gives me a very serious look.

"Oh, you're serious." I say

"No, I'm being completely sarcastic" he say's

"Why do we need a kitten?" I ask

"Why don't we need a kitten?" he says "and mostly because you're too serious all the time"

"Where did you even find a cat in this city?" I ask

"I found her in a box" he says "and I still don't see the reason why we can't keep her, she's

adorable."

"A box" I say "If she has any kind of sicknesses I'm making you kill her"

"She looks fine" he says "and does that mean we can keep her"

Realizing my error I say "I never said that!" he gives me a sly look.

"What if I say please real nicely?" he gives me puppy dog eyes, and I crack.

"I'll give her a week and if I like her she can stay" I say

"Yay!" he yells putting Fae on the ground.

"Sometimes I wonder if you're a child because you sure act like one." I say

"Well if I acted a serious as you we wouldn't have a kitten to make you less serious" he says

"Shut up"
