A Watty Award Story: Famous Animals

Chapter 1 Charity

Goblins! Go away! I punched them. Get! I started running again. A goblin grabbed the back of my neck and sufficated me. My face turned blue until something hit the goblin. The goblin fell over letting me go. He ran off crying. I layed their limp with my eyes open. Wait... what's that... I looked to my left. I turn to see a yellowish dog,collie, terrier, bloodhound, and Saint Bernard looking at me. The Collie came forward and spoke. "Your welcome" She said in a female voice.

My eyes widened. "Lassie!" She backed away ready to run. As the group ran into the bushes she turned and said "You tell no one." I nodded.

I walked back to the castle and fell asleep after a quick search for my wand. Before drifting into sleep I wondered why Lassie, and what I found out to be, Old Yeller, Toto, Duke, and Beethoven didn't want to be found. Or why they were still alive. I mean, of course they died years ago. But after thinking a bit, I fell asleep.

~~~Morning~~~

"Charity! Wake up!" I heard Cherry yell, "Your going to miss Potions!"

I jumped up. While brushing my teeth, Cherry brushed my hair. She knew I never missed Potions. Quickly after putting on deodorant and makeup I burst out the door with Cherry soon behind. She caught up with me and said "You look kinda sick. You sure you want to go to Potions?" I stopped her by walking in front of her, "Wouldn't miss it for the World"

As, we ran down the hall I looked to my right into the courtyard. The courtyard emptied into a valley. I turned back forward and did a double take. Their by the stream was Lassie! I didn't stop walking and ran into Mark, my second best friend. I blushed as he picked my things up. I was secretly in love with him. He was so cute! I couldn't resist starring at his... "I believe these are yours." He said handing me my books. "What class are you going to?" "Potions!" I screamed running down the hall with Cherry close behind. "But... that's your Wand Works book." He whispered. I couldn't hear him.

When we arrived at Potions Cherry and I only got a detention after class. Which I'm now glad I put an hour in between each class. "Turn your books to page 78.Charity you can start with Paragraph 1." The class laughed as Mr. Olive said this. We always started there. And he did that on purpose cause he knows I have reading problems and I hardly ever followed.

I opened my book to page 78 and started... "Remember: When using your wand you point it..." I stopped as the class erupted with laughter. I looked at Mr. Olive as he said "I believe that's Wand Works." He turned around and wrote Double Detention under my name. Luckily, I sit by Cherry and she put her book under my Wand Works. "O yes! I have that class after detention and I won't have time to go to my dorm and..." "Page 78." He repeated. I turned to that page and read. "Today we are making Snake Potion. This potion will turn your..." "Relatives" Mr. Olive said. "Right relative into poisonless snakes. This potion must be mixed with..." I stopped. Mr. Olive rolled his eyes.

"Say it." He mumbled. "Love potion" I smiled. I said it without saying a boys name. I didn't have to like the boy but everyone thought that every time I said Love.

"Okay... Cherry read page 79." Her eyes widened. "The whole page?" She stalled. "Yes. Unless you have a REAL doctors note saying you can't read." Cherry was famous for fake doctor notes. But only Mr. Olive and me knew she did this. Until now. Of course now the whole class new.

"Just give me Double Detention." She said. He grinned. He had caught her sharing her book.

The rest of the class was a blur. All I thought about was Lassie and her group.

"Great!" I said at the end of class. "Yeah double detention sucks." Cherry said. "No." I said. "then what's so 'great'?"

"Today's gonna be a LONG day."
