Uncommon Phobias

I'm exhausted, my body sore and tired, but I still get up in time for school.

I decide then and there to not think about Jake at all, every time his name even

Mageirocophobia: Fear of cooking.

Alex and I used to go through lists of these, fascinated by them.

Aiden stands there, leaning on the hood of his car with a smile on his face.

It's his careless smile that lets me know he is still completely oblivious to what happened between Jake and I yesterday and the night before.

My heart pounds in my chest but I smile. It's a genuine smile even if I did have to force it on to mask my shock of finding him there. "Aiden, what are you doing here?"

Siderodromophobia: Fear of trains or railroads.

I nod, feeling just a bit bad for having to lie to him about feeling sick. "Much better."

He smiles down at me, "I wanted to give you a ride to school."

He opens the passenger door for me and I climb in, setting my bag on the floor. "You didn't have to. It's really not that far of a walk from here."
