My Days With Scooter

The Crazy Contest

Authors note:

Hey guys! This writing thing is still new to me. Also, I have WestTest all week so I'm exhausted. Another thing, tell me if u want me to make the chapters longer.

"And next up, our pet owner contest!" The announcer roared. A dozen contestants walked up onto the stage. (Stacy and I were two of them.) I looked around at the other contestants and knew Scooter and I didn't stand a chance.

Some people really over did it. A girl was dressed like a dog, and I man was in a hotdog suit to match his dog. (Who was also wearing a suit.)

I told Scooter to sit as the judges approached us. My face was beet red. (Crowds were never my thing.) Each judge would stare at the contestants with their cold dead eyes. It killed me.

"Don't flip out." Stacy whispered for beside me. She knew how much this annoyed me.

Scooter sat there just watching. He had the dumb look that he gets when he is bored.

The first judge approached me. It's was a tall woman. She had brown hair and way too much makeup on.

"You know dogs have whiskers. right?" She told me. "And your dog isn't that yellow." Now she sounded snooty.

"I-I umm. err..." I stuttered. Stacy looked at me. "She doesn't need to look perfect you know." Stacy chimed. The judge gave her a dirty look and moved on.

"Thanks." I said to Stacy. " Your welcome. I'm just pretty sure I got points taken off of my score."
