Dolphin Tale 3

Christmas Gifts, Bets, and Conversations.

Sawyer stared into space after he had read the text three times.

"Hey Sawyer, my grandmother is going to Florida in three days I asked if I could go with her and it is a yes! And I will be staying where you are for a few weeks! So....see you soon!"

She was going to be coming here! Thought Sawyer, he wasn't sure to be happy or scared.

Chloe was a nice girl and very pretty. But he didn't feel right.

"I like Chloe, I don't deny that. So why do I feel like I just learned Winter was deathly sick?" Sawyer wondered,

"Sawyer it's your turn now to open a gift." his mom ordered as she tried all she could muster from laughing at Hazel.

"What?" He asked as he looked up.

"Did you not hear anything or see anything that just happen?" Hazel asked in slight shock.

Sawyer feebly answered negative, everyone burst into laughter.

Kyle reached out his hand towards Hazel, Hazel rolled her eyes as she handed him five dollars.

Once Sawyer realized what had just happened he felt guilty for forgetting everyone else. He knew Hazel hardly ever lost a bet, though he wasn't sure if he was suppose to be happy or angry at the fact he was the bet. Especially from two of his best friends.

"Wait so let me get this straight, Hazel and Kyle just betted that I was or wasn't going to be listening. Hazel betted that I was, and Kyle was smart enough to know I wasn't. Right?" Sawyer said with a smirk, knowing full well Hazel's face when he commented about "Kyle being smarter".

Kyle started laughing, Hazel looked down with a evil smile. Sawyer knew she was somehow going to get him back whether or not he liked it.

"Congratulations Hazel, that smile literally is making me fear for my life." He said laughing his head off.

Hazel lifted her head, stretching her hand out towards Phoebe. Now it was Phoebe's turn to roll her eyes as she handed her a ten dollar bill.

The room was silent. Sawyer only stared at what he had just seen. Hazel lost the bet intentionally so she could win ten dollars!

Kyle was silent, then glanced down at his five bucks realizing what she had just done, then burst into laughter.

"Well you definitely know how to win at betting." He commented as everyone laughed as well. But the room wasn't laughing at Kyle or Hazel, it was now Sawyer, his expression was hilarious!

"Well Sawyer it is your turn to open a gift." Lorraine said smiling,

Sawyer sighed as he reached down, picking up a small gift with his name. He immediately suspected it to be from Hazel, it had her handwriting and she tended to get something small, but he liked her gifts they were small yes, but they always full of thought and was always something special that he treasured.

Quickly he unwrapped it, when he did there was box, he opened the box and found a whistle.

"It's to call the other dolphins, besides Winter, when you are training them." Clay said smiling.

Sawyer was not expecting it to be from Clay, but he still appreciated it.

"Thanks." He said smiling.

It was a nice whistle, made of metal, it had a cover of red for the handle. Sawyer now started wondering what Hazel's present was. But Hazel was next, then Clay, Phoebe, Sawyer's aunt and uncle, Lorraine, Kyle, and then it was him.

"Ok, Hazel you go!" Said Lorraine excitedly.

Hazel smiled, leaning forward towards the tree she picked up a medium size present.
