Mark: Dear diary! Today, dad drove me and Polkadot to grandma. I was so excited I couldn't sleep and I woke up very early. Polkadot was still snoring on my bed, so I didn't move and I read my book. I know he dislikes cars, so I wanted him to rest. When we arrived at grandmas, Jamie was these too because he knew we were coming. We had pancakes with jam, and afterwards Jamie, Polkadot and I went to the creek. The sun was very warm and we were chasing fishes in the pond. Polkadot caught one but got so excited about it he fell nose first into the water. Jamie and I laughed until I almost cried. Jamie is my best friend, I love him so much. He’s staying for a sleepover, we plan to build a pillow fort and watch a scary movie.

Polkadot: Wuf! Wuf! Zzzzzsss, snout, zzzzzss. Brrrumm, grrrrrrrr. Jamie wuf wuf wuf! Mmmm, aaaa, splash! Nom nom nom. Swish! Swash! Wuf wuf wuf! Zzzzzzzssss.

Jamie: Mark came over to Mrs Janet today, I was so excited that I got there very early. I haven't stopped thinking of him since I last saw him last month. We had the best time then. Today was wonderful. The two of us and his dog went to a pond and swam and laughed until our bellies hurt and I couldn’t breathe. When we swam and I touched his arm under water, I also couldn't breathe.

I am staying overnight and I am nervous. We are going to build a pillow fort in his small room and watch films on the tablet and I am afraid I am going to want to touch him again. I like him a lot.
