Chapter 2 Trying to keep a secret with someone other than yourself

The next day as Theo was walking to the bus stop, Jake came running up to her.
"Hey!" he said.
"Hey." she said.
"About yesterday, you didn't talk to me the whole bus ride home." he said, "Are you mad at me, did I do something wrong?"
"No," she said to him, "I was just thinking."
"About what?" he asked her.
"Well...I can't really tell you, I mean I want to, but I don't know if I'm ready to tell you." she told him.
"Oh, I understand but, you know I am your friend, you know you can tell me anything." he said.
"I've barely known you a day," she snapped, "so don't force me to tell you!!!"
She then turned to look out the window. They didn't say anything to eachother the rest of the bus ride there and through-out the day.
When Theo got home, she went up to her room, slammed the door shut, told Monique to leave her alone, and layed down on her bed.
'I don't know if I should tell him,' Theo thought to herself, 'I mean I can't go up to him and say, Oh, Hi Jake, did you know that I have the ability to turn into a Unicorn?, No, I can't do that. I need to take a little more time to get to know him first, yeah that's what I'll do.
*******************************************************************************
The next day, Theo saw Jake barely getting onto the bus, she ran up to him and got on the bus and sat down next to him.
"I have to talk to you." she said innocently.
"What's there to talk about!?" he snapped.
"Look I'm really sorry about yesterday, I just got a little mad for a minute. But, look, I just didn't want to tell someone I barely knew, my biggest secret. I want to get to know that someone before I tell them." She told him quietly.
" Ican deal with that answer, I mean, I kind of deserved that. So, how long do you have to 'get to know ' somebody before you decide to tell them?"
" Well, I have to know everything about that person, and i need to know that he won't totally freak when I tell him my secret. Also that he won't tell anyone." she said looking him in the eye.
" Okay, I promise." he replied.
"Okay then, meet me after school by my house."she said.
"See ya there!" he told her.
*******************************************************************************
"Well, ok, I'm here. Are you going to tell me or what?" he asked
She took a deep breath and then she turned to him and said,
"Jake? I'm a Unicorn,"
He gave her a 'yeah right she's lying' look and then said,
"You're a Unicorn? Riiiiiight."
" No I'm serious! I can turn into a Unicorn!" she said.
"Uh, huh and I'm Hercules"he said, obviously not convinced.
"Well fine then, I'll show you, but not right now." she said, "How about tonight at 10, inmy backyard?
She was really hoping that he would come.
Alright, Fine, but if this is a pshyco joke...!" he sighed.
"It's not, be there." she told him.
THen they both went home, Jake not looking forward to tonight.
