Adopt a Yognaught

Chapter 3

Lewis dropped us off at Simon's house. Him and Hannah waved goodbye, and then we went inside. Simon took my duffle bag from me, and showed me around his house.

There was a living room, a kitchen, bathroom, and a couple bedrooms. He opened one of the bedrooms, and inside was a one-person bed, a dresser, and a window. It was small, so it must be my room.

"This is your room," Simon said, as if reading my mind. "I hope it's okay."

I walked in and looked around. It my own room, I wasn't sharing it with anyone who didn't like me, so it was good.

"It's perfect." I respond.

Simon came in after me and dropped my duffle bag on my bed. "Would you like anything to eat?" He asked again.

I shrugged. Then yawned.

"Maybe you should get some sleep first." Simon said. I nodded in agreement. "Goodnight, then." He said. Then he left my room, closing the door behind him.

I opened my duffle bag and got out the night gown that everyone has to wear in the orphanage. I put my other clothes in my bag, and crawled into bed. I was out soon after I hit my head on the pillow.

I woke up early the next day. Simon wasn't up yet, and I couldn't hear much outside. I slowly got and dressed, then went out into the kitchen to find out what time it was.

I found a clock on the wall in the shape of a corgi. Why am I not surprised? Anyways, it said it was 7:13. I yawned and wandered back to my room.

I layed down on the bed and stared up at the ceiling until I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in." I said. The door opened and Simon walked in. I sat up.

"How long have you been awake?" Simon said.

"Not long." I reply quietly.

"Do you want to go to Yogtowers? Or stay here?" Simon asked.

"I'll come." I say.

Simon nodded. We hear a honking sound, and guess that Lewis and Hannah are here to take us to Yogtowers. We stood, met them outside, and drove to Yogtowers.

At about midday at Yogtowers, I was in the lounge room, Hannah walked in while Friends were playing on the TV and I was reading my book. She sat beside me and waited until I doggy-eared my page to talk.

"I had an idea." Hannah said. I listened. "Why don't we get you some new clothes? Just me and you?"

I blinked a few times, considering. Hm, would I like to spend a day with Hannah Rutherford, one of my idols, to go shopping? The answer would be HECK YES!!

I nodded my head, a smile forming on my face. Hannah smiled back.

"Okay. I'll go tell Lewis real quick, and then we'll head out." Hannah said. I nodded, and I followed her out the room.

We walked to an office, and Lewis sat at a desk. Hannah peeked her head in.

"I'm taking Candie shopping real quick. We'll be back later." She said. Lewis nodded and turned his head back to the screen. Hannah turned to me. "Ready?" I nodded.

As we headed out, Martyn walked past us. He nodded at Hannah and smiled at me, and I smiled back shyly.

We headed out to her car, and I hopped in the passenger's seat as she took the driver's. We then drove out of the parking lot of Yogtowers, down the street.
