I was half way down the street when I saw the flashing lights, I sped up. In front of my house was a ambulance and a cop car, my mom was being carried out on a gurney "Mom!" I ran up to the nearest person "What happened!" I practically screamed. "Calm down honey" she said " Your mom is going to be just fine,she was half way down the stairs and something scared her she can't tell us what yet." "Also she has a broken arm and toe" she said as if that part was unimportant.She sounded rather dumb.
I followed the flashing lights to the hospital.I parked and ran up to the gurney."Mom!" I said when I got there "I am going in with her" I said to some man pushing her."That's fine miss" He said we walked up the hall and into a room. "I'll have to ask you to wait in the hall please" someone said from behind me I turned around to see a doctor."Um...Okay I guess" and walked out he followed me "She'll be fine " and he turned back around .
Two hours later my mom was in cast and okay.
I was driving my mom back home "Mom? What happened to you?" I asked " I don't know Mari, I saw a face then...I don't know" she said sounding as if she was going to cry "A break-in?" I pressed "Marietta! Can we please drop in" She said a tear streaming down her face " But mom!" "Period Mari"She said and put her head down in her hands.
The next day I woke up and my mom was down stairs "How are you mom?" I asked "Do you need me to stay home today? I can, just reviews mostly at school" I said almost wishing she would say yes "Of course not Mari go to school." "Okay It will probably be good to see those reviews" To see Ronald I thought to myself.I ate a quick breakfast and headed out the door .
At school I started walking to class it wasn't something to think about any more ,which class ,what period ,this or that teacher ;just a routine burned into my brain.But today other things intruded like me thinking of what Ronald thinks of me going with Sam to the beach,suddenly I found my self in biology when I should have been in history ."Sorry Mr.Rowling wrong room" I said then the bell rang sounding I was late "Well Mrs.Marietta you should hurry or I'll give you detention"He said percing me with his ice blue eyes "Yes Mr.Rowling"I said and hurried out.
"Well look who decieded to come to class " Mrs. Drillcam the drill sargent said "Sorry Mrs.drill sar I mean Drillcam " I said blushing over my slip up "Get in your seat now!""Yes ma'am" and sat down.Note to self I wrote down and underneath I wrote my periods and teacher down and under that I put down, Mr.Rowling and Mrs. Drillcam The meanest teachers .
After a horrible day at school to make it worst Sam came up"Mari we still on for tomorrow" "Sure Sam,hey have you seen Ronald today?" I asked noticing I hadn't seen him"Why!" he said sounding mad, "I mean no not today, see you tomorrow bye" and he walked away quickly.I got in my car and drove home quickly.Where were you Ronald ? I thought to myself.
The next day I was running late and Sam was on his way I was still putting on my bathing suit and slipping on some clothes. Going to have to skip breakfast today I thought sadly."HONK HONK!!" That must be him I sighed aloud and grabbed my hoodie ."Hey Sam !" I said with false cheerfulness "Whats up Mari ,ready to go?" He said once again buying it
"Lets roll then" He yelled jumping in the car I walked around slowly and got in the back ."Um...Mari why are you back there?" I shrugged "Lets roll!!" I said doing a fist pump to distract him. He started the car and backed out. We where there in about 15 minutes .
Had to admitt it even though I hated being there the beach was very pretty . The sand looked like little flakes of gold and the water crashing in to it leaving shells appeared to be liquid sapphire . "Nice right?" Sam said interuppting my thoughts "Yeah it's beautiful " for once being truthful "Hey lets collect some shells my mom loves them" I said my thought drifting to her bathroom with a bowl of shells sitting on the toilet and on the counter.The shell soap and rugs with pictures of them,the shower curtin that matched." Okay,but did you bring a suit ? We might get wet."He said looking at my pale green shirt and light blue jeans "Yeah hold one " I slipped off my shirt and jeans to reveal my 2 piece sadly the only thing in my size or else I would be in a One piece. Sam stared at me making me uncomfortable "Um Sam , Lets go shells rember? "Right what are you waiting for Mari lets go!" He said forgetting that he was the one holding us up.
Minutes later we had a full pail of shells and went to sit down .I wrapped a towel around me Sam was right I did get wet. Sam sat next to me and we looked at the water for a second in piece "Mari?' He asked looking at me now.My heart thudded and I guessed what was coming "Yes Sam" "Will you..um..like...wow...Mari will you go out with me?" Oh no what do I say I thought for a second finally say something really smart like"No"."I mean no Sam sorry I just can't" I packed u my stuff and just left.
Half way there near some tree I felt it again the felling of being watched I heard a russel in the leaves and started to get scared I had stopped moving completly .Near the ground I saw something glow then realised they were eyes .A small matted puppy emerged from the leaves and wimpered .I got down on my knees " Come here puppy come here,Its alright come here " The puppy walked towards me slowly and sniffed my as I held still I reached slowly and petted him then picked him up as he licked my face I called my mom "Hey mom" I said When she answered " Can I bring home a new friend?"
CHAPTER FIVE
"Mari what where you thinking?!" My mom yelled from the kitchen when she saw the dog tracks I meant to clean up. "You said I could bring home Micky!" I said back " Micky? You named it already ? And I said you could bring home a friend not a filthy little puppy!" "Mom you love dogs what is you problem?" "My problem is ..." she stopped then took a deep breath that is what she always does when she couldn't think of any thing she would have a reason in one second though"My problem is the dog tracks all over my kitchen now go clean them and Micky." Right on cue "So can I keep him?" I asked doubting the answer i hoped for "Yes you can keep him" she said and smiled shocking me.
Later after I had cleaned the kitchen and gave Micky a hour bath we curled up together in my bed as I read Anne Of Green Gables again . My cell phone rang suddenly and started singing Love Story by Taylor swift "Hello?" "...click" I looked at the phone "Whatever . Right Micky? Good boy." I cooed as I patted his head. After a few chapters I got up and flipped off the
lights but a soon as they went off Micky growled at the window . I turned them back on and checked, nothing but rain.I turned them off again and Micky raced to the window barking " Quite or the dog goes out!" my mom yelled as if the big animal lover would put a poor little puppy out side. I turn they lights back on and went to the window again but this time I saw it,I saw him.The thing watching me ,The person in the house ,the smell that was freaking out my dog.He looked around soon his eyes wandered toward my window our eyes met and the thing I was starting to more than like stepped back and shook his head in disgust . Then Ronald turn around and seemed to fade in to the trees.
The next morning I woke up hoping it was all just a dream and since there was no school today I had nothing to justify that it wasn't .I got out of bed pushing Micky of my stomach and shuffled into the bathroom . After my shower I went and met my mom down stairs she was watching a rerun of "Reba" ."Want some breakfast mom? I have to go out out to get Micky some food ,so do you want something?"I asked standing by the door ."Um, sure can you grab me a meat free breakfast breto? Here`s some cash."She said barely taking her eyes off the show ,I grabbed the twenty and my keys and headed out the door.
In the store I debated over what puppy food to buy "Puppy Yum" was cheap but " Run about Pup" promised healthy teeth, I grabbed the second.After that I headed over to a greasy fast-food restaurant and grabbed my moms breakfast "Ew" I said aloud I got the greasy bag from a teenager with hair almost as greasy as the bag.
