School can be a deathtrap

Buckey and Lily

     I walked home exhausted and laid on my bed. I opened my backpack and pulled out the egg Shamus gave me. I held it up and looked at it. It seemed to be eminating heat. My hands grew hot  and I put the egg in a shoebox filled with socks,tissue,and towels. I fell asleep and dreamt about Stanley, Mr. Zard, and Coach Clops. I woke up to the smell of smoke. I looked over to see the nest I had made on fire. I ran over trying to swat out the flames when I saw that the egg had been opened. I looked around my room to see a dark shadow jump on my face.

     "Get the hell off of me!" I yelled. I then realized that I wasn't being attacked. My face was being licked by a hot tounge. I lifted up the creature and turned on the light. I was holding what I presumed to be a dragon. He had amber eyes, three horns on his head, red scales, claws at the end of his wings, only legs with the wings, and a spiked tail. I examined him more to find out that he was a boy. He burped a ball of fire and I put him down and picked up my phone. I called Penelope half expecting her not to pick up.

     "Hello?" a panting voiced asked.

     "Penelope?" I asked

     "Speaking." she said.

     " By any chance did your egg hatch?" I asked.

     "Ya why did yours to?" she asked.

     "Ya." I said. Then I heard.

     "No, no Lily not my school books!"

     "You named your dragon Lily?" I asked.

     "Dragon what are you talking about didn't you get a griffon like me?" she asked.

     "No I got a dragon." I said

     "Uhhhhh gotta talk about this tomorrow." she quickly said and hung up. I looked at the phone and sighed. Then the dragon bit my finger.

    "Ow you little!" I yelled. Then sighed and looked at him. 

     "I guess your hungry." I whispered. I began to think about what a fire dragins favorite food is. I looked at him and suddenly remembered.

     "You eat charcoal!" I yelled. The dragon seemed happy about the snack.

     "Now you need a name." I whispered. 

     "Tater tot? I asked. It did nothing.

     "French Fry?" Still nothing.

     "Buckey?" I asked hopefully. Buckey then blew dire and jumped up happily.

     "Buckey it is." I exclaimed and walked downstaires into the kitchen. I grabbed the bag of charcoal we keep in the cabinet and hauled it up to my room. Buckey sat by the door gnawing on my science book. I sighed and pulled a charcoal rock  and threw it towards Buckey. He began to chew on it contently. After he finished it I offered him another one. He turned away and laid on my pillow. I shrugged and fell asleep again. I awoke to my alarm and got ready for school. I looked at Buckey who was still asleep. My parents had gone to work so I grabbed a spare backpack and put Buckey in it with some towels and charcoal. I walked to school to find Penelope sitting asleep. I poked her and she bolted awake.

     "No Lily that's my homework!" she yelled. I looked at her like she was crazy.

     "Sorry Lily has just been a maniac." she said.

     "Can I see hear?I asked. She nodded and opened a purse to show a griffon in the inside. It had the head of an eagle, its feathers as white as pearls, its beak sharp and pointy, it had a lion tail,eagle talons, and lion paws. It was snoring loudly.

     "Can I see your dragon?" she asked. I nodded and showed her Buckey.

     "What's his name?" she asked.

     "Buckey." I replied. She nodded and we headed off to Shamu's house. When we got their he asked for the homework. We showed him our new pets and he laughed. 

     "So they hatched." he said. We nodded.

     "Now you have a project to raise these pets." he said. We sighed and groaned.

     "Now buk up this should be fun." he joked.

     He then looked back at us and said,"You are dismissed for the day." We sighed and walked to school little did we know that a small racoon was watching us.
