The Story of the Dragon Keeper

Chapter 2

"Stupid clock," I shove my clock off of the nightstand, trying to get it to shut up. "Stupid morning." I groggily open my eyes to find the off button because it banging loudly onto the floor didn't help. I apparently stretched too far and found myself falling onto the floor. Grumpily, after my own loud bang, I muttered, "Stupid floor." I crawl, more like slither, to my bureau and grab out a pair of black baggie pants and a black hoodie with grey designs on it. Without getting off of the floor, I strip to my bra and panties then throw the dirty clothes into my waste basket, making it in one shot. "She shoots- she scores! Then the crowd goes wild, AHHHHHHH!!" I roll around my floor a moment, basking in the gloring of making a shot. Sooner, rather than the later that I wanted, I put on my clothes then contemplate what will happen if I don't get up.

I talked myself into it, finally, and I lazily stood for the first time that day. Today was my first day as a Senior and I was oh so reluctant to go. On my way to the stairs, I noticed a tie was on the knob of my father's door. After almost puking at the idea of that, I quickly went downstairs to grab a piece of toast then rush out to the stables before school.

"Alright, you freaks and geeks! I'm up- you're up!" I walked from end to end, ringing a cow bell loudly, until I saw that every dragon was up. "Why, good morning you guys. Ready for breakfast?" I feel like if they were people, I would get groans in response. After turning on the surround sound system, I got to work.

"Jessie is a friend." I opened up the food closet with a flourish as I danced my way to the special food I had for each type of dragon. I opened the fire food first then I made my way to Vulcan's stable. "Yeah, I know she's been a good friend of mine." I changed the words up slightly as I grabbed Vulcan's bowl, patting him slightly. Walking to the bag, "But lately something's changed that ain't hard to define. Jessie's got herself a boy and I wanna make him mine." I sway my hips to the beat as I pour three cups into his bowl. "And he's watching her with those eyes." I wiggle my brows as I strut to Vulcan, singing to him. "And he's loving her with that body, I just know it! And she's holding him in her arms, late late at night." I wrap my arms around myself after I set down the food bowl.

He could give less of a bother as he munches on his food, completely ignoring me. "YOU KNOW I WISH THAT I HAD JESSIE'S GUY!!" I scream as I jump out of Vulcan's stable, making a dramatic scene to myself. I knew I couldn't sing well, but I loved doing it and dancing anyways. When really, the only talent I had was the dragons. "Where can I find a man like that?"

Closing the fire food, since Vulcan was my only fire dragon, I moved on to the ice food. "I'll play along with the charade.. There doesn't seem to be a reason to change." I grab Slushy's bowl first and give her an extra scoop of food then put it back, close to her mouth so she doesn't have to move much. "You know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute," I dance and sing to Slushy for a moment but then I go to grab the other dragons' food bowl. The other ice dragon bowls didn't matter if they got mixed up, they all got the same amount. "I wanna tell him that I love him but the point is probably moot."

I move onto the Wind dragons, they are usually the ones with wings, but Vulcan and Slushy both have them. "Cause he's watching her with those eyes, and he's loving her with that body- I just know it! And she's holding him in her arms late late at night." I do the same moves as before and none of the dragons really actually care or pay attention, they're too hungry.

I lay on the ground, tired out already just from feeding all the dragons, "I wanna.. I want Jessie's Guy!" I finish the song then close my eyes only to be nudged by Vulcan. "What, dude?" I sit up, which puts me face to face with the clock. "Ah, shoot! Merr, Herp Derp. Dang-nabit." I curse as I scurry from end to end, looking for my pack. I'm soon calmed when Vuclan waddles out with my bag around his neck.
