We dumped my bags in the corner of my room and i went wondering around the rest of the house. The house was pretty nice to be honest but i still missed my home back in New York, that was my home and that'll never change.  I go back to my room and start unpacking. I didn't realize unpacking could be interesting, like finding new places to put things. 

After a few hours i was done and i was starving, normally i don't have a lot to eat but after the Airplane food which was disgusting, i was really hungry. I was just about to open my door when my mum opens it from the other side.

Pamela: oh sorry sweetie, i didn't know you were behind the door.

Abigail: it's okayy mom, i was just about to come downstairs to ask when and what was for tea.

Pamela: that's fine then *giggled* fancy going out for dinner as a celebration for moving in?

Abigail: i'm not bothered as long as i get food soon.

We laughed and she drove us to her favorite restaurant , Olive Garden. I've never heard of this place before but hopefully it'll have nice food.

When we were done eating our food, we were up at the bar paying for our bill when i heard people talking behind the bar.

Waitress: have you found anyone to fill in Gabby's place?

Manager: no, not yet, the people I've  interviewed hasn't been good enough.

Waitress: Well, you'll have to get someone soon,  we're under staffed.

Manager: you don't think i know that?

Waitress: i'm sorry boss, i didn't mean sound mean or anything.

I was listening to their conversation as my mum was paying for the dinner i went to go up to them. 

Abigail: excuse me? 

Manager: yes miss? is there something wrong?

Abigail: no not at all, i was wondering, as you said you were under staffed, if i could give you my resumeé? 

Manager: yes, thank you, can you drop it off tonight or as soon as possible please?

Abigail: Yes i can hand it in tonight, thank you

I walked back to my mum and told her we had to come back. We drove back to the house and i went inside and reached of my resumeé. When i found it, we headed back to the restaurant and handed it in, surprisingly, They decided to interview me straight away. 

After the interview was done, they told me they'll call me when they have decided whether to hire me or not. 

When we were heading back to the house mum start conversation bout a present.

Pamela: So sweetie, when you were back in New York, did you dad have any pets?

Abigail: er no mom, why may i ask?

Pamela: i'm just curious, that's all honey 

She turned her head to face me and she smiled at me and faced the front again.

Abigail: mom, tell me, were you wanting or have any pets?

Pamela: no, well maybe

Abigail: Seriously? you going to get me a dog or something?

Pamela: okay, okay, you've taken it out of me. I was thinking of getting you a 'welcome to your new home' present.

Abigail: OMG! mom, thanks, i've always wanted a dog, can i have a dog?

Pamela: yes, we're heading to a pet store now and you can pick out your dog, you can name it and everything sweetie.

We had arrived at the pet store, i found the perfect dog. It was a puppy Beagle dog, it was so cute. It was a boy, i was thinking of quite of few names, maybe Pumpkin, Kingsley, Jasper. I couldn't think of any good names, then it hit me like walking into a brick wall, i'll call him snoopy. To some it'll seem a strange name but when i was younger, my dad used to read me comic books called 'Peanuts' and there was a dog called Snoopy in it and i loved that little dog.

Snoopy is gonna be my new best friend and i know i can trust him because well he's a dog and he can't talk about me behind my back or tell people lies about me or tell people my secrets, i wasn't scared of becoming friends with my little puppy.
