When Sarah came home from school yesterday, she couldn't stop sneezing. Almost every tissue box in the house had been used. And she was burning hot.
"You're staying home from school today young lady, you're sick."
"but mom.." She whined
"I don't want to miss recess"
Sarah knew she couldn't win a fight against her mom, so she gave up and plopped onto her bed. Mittens, her puppy, squeezed up beside her and fell asleep. Sarah drifted off to the sound of ticking clocks and mittens heartbeat.
When she awoke she was greeted by Charlie, the llama that lives under her bed. She's always wondered if that was normal, like if everyone had a talking llama under there bed. She didn't think much of it, she had things to do today.
"No games today Charlie sorry"
"Aww that's to bad, I'll be off then"
She got out of bed and turned on her light. While grabbing her shoes she noticed mittens was still asleep. Sarah took this opportunity to draw a picture of him with her new crayons set. Just as she was about to finish the tail her mom called out to her.
" Come on Sarah, get breakfast before school"
"But it's Saturday!"
"Oh, well come eat it anyway, Jordan's mom called and wants you to come over"
Finally she could see Jordan again. She got on her favourite shirt and prettiest pants.
"I hope he likes these sketchers, they light up and everything!" She thought to herself as she ran downstairs.
She walked into the brightly lit dining room, as usual she ran her hand across the detailed wood work on the table. She sat down and admired the pale red colour of the room. For a second everything was calm....
