"Sit. Lay down. Roll over." Willow is a fast learner. She knows how to sit, stay, lay down, roll over, and high paw. She's about seven weeks now.

She's really smart. She figured out how to get the treats. She also figured out that she has to stay in my room when Sam's mom is home. Willow's also become very attached to me.

"Good girl!" I levitate a treat from the counter and float it in front of her mouth.

"Stay," I say. 


She watches the treat floating in front of her. I stomp my foot and she reaches out and grabs the treat with her mouth out of the air.


The door unlocks and opens. I peer through the hallway to find Sam coming home from school. He holds an orange slip of paper in his hand.

Willow runs up to greet him. "Hey, Willow," he says, reaching down to pet her.

"What's that?" I ask, tugging on the orange paper with my telekinesis.

He lets go of it and I float it over to me. "Mark James is having a party tonight," he explains.

"Is he the leader of the evil football team who tried to kidnap us?"

"Yeah. He invited John and Sarah, too."

"I'm guessing you want me to come."

"Yep."

"What about her?" I look down at Willow and so does Sam. She looks up at him with her big, blue eyes and cocks her head to the side.

"A dog isn't the strangest thing people have brought to a party, I'm sure," he says.

"Fair enough."

"And you might want to get her settled in your room. Mom called me and said she was coming home early."

"Okay. Come!" I pat the side of my leg. Willow follows me up the stairs and into my room.

She knows the drill. She burrows herself under a blanket by my pillows. I lay in front of her so she can poke her head out and will still be hidden.

*******

Something vibrates my back. My eyes snap open and I'm breathing heavily. I pop up into a sitting position and notice Willow has gotten as close to my side as she can.

It vibrates again. I reach behind me and realize it's just my phone. Sam texted me. They'll be here in 20 mins. Get ready plz.

I get up and Willow wakes up and looks at me from the spot in my bed. "Looks like we're going to a party," I say to her.

I walk over to my closet and rummage through all the hangers. I settle with a grey sweater that has little pink flowers all over it and white jean shorts. I decide to brush out my red hair and let it hang down to my elbows.

My phone vibrates once more. It's another text from Sam. Mom's here. Don't know how ur gonna take Willow. :(

I type back: Challenge excepted! 8D

The next text says: XD u have 5 mins...

Immediately, I grab Willow's badge from my drawer and shove it into my back pocket. I grab her leash from my closet and dangle it in front of her. She perks up and lets me clip it onto her collar.

I pick up my phone and text Sam. I need a favor...

A moment later, my phone vibrates in my hand. What do u need?
