My One And Only

Domino and Noah

Kickball at math is OVER. Donzo, Donkey. It's over. Apparently Allyssa had told On Mr. Williams and the principal had found out. She was pretty mad, so she said she would put cameras in our room. Who does that? So, I guess my talking sessions with Lily in outerfield are over as well. I opened my math book to page, 134 and read quietly to myself. I sighed as Mr. Williams called on me before I had even read the whole paragraph. "Miss. Valteen, What is the answer to question 23?" He asks me. I flip through the pages and I finally come to question 23. I didn't even read it when he called on someone else. "Allyssa, please help Nicole." Mr. Williams says, the tone of his voice more stern. "The answer is, Pollution. It's also Hydrogen dioxide." Allyssa says, turning to me, as she smiles and flips her blonde hair behind her. "Well Done." Mr. Williams says to Allyssa, giving me a harsh look. This is going to be a long, long day.

I walk into Hooves At Heart to see Lori at the desk, tying ropes to the horses necks and leading them out into a truck. I watch her as she takes Domino. "Uhh...Lori? What are you doing with Domino?" I ask her. My heart sinks and my face falls. Today was animal sales day, where you can get all horses 50 percent off. I really wanted Domino, but I couldn't have her. My Aunt Pam was allergic to dog, cat, and horse fur so we could never have any furry friends to bring to Aunt Pam's house. I almost cried as I saw Lori put Domino into the horse truck. He whinnied and neighed as Lori lead him into the back off the horse truck. Dominos hooves stomped on the metal floor and it kept making, Bang! Bang! Bang! Sounds. Domino looked at me in the eyes and I swear, I thought I could see him frown. "It's Animal Sales Day!" Lori yells to me after she shuts the truck quickly. I could still here Dominos hooves stomping the metal as he whinnied. I sadly nod. "Hey, Kiddo, I'm sorry you can't get Domino. I'm pretty sure a lot of people will take care of Domino perfectly, and that he will soon have a great home after this." Lori says. That made me worse. Thinking of Domino not being with me? Having a better time without me? Lori made the, come hand motion as she slid into the drivers seat in the horse truck. I sadly waddled over there like a penguin, as I opened the door and plopped down in the passengers seat. We drove down to, Choose Us a very popular food and clothes market. We parked the truck, set up the table, and put up the signs that had said, Happy National Animals Day! To Celebrate This Special Day, Hooves At Heart Will Have A Animal Sales Day! Each Horse Is 50 Percent Off! Right Here, Right Now, At Choose Us!  The signs were hung in the table, and some on the pillars that held up the little roof of Choose Us. I grabbed the money bag and set it on the table in front of Lori's chair. About 10 people had passed our table already and haven't even bothered to check is out. I was relieved, just because they haven't gotten Domino. But, that relief ended very quickly when I saw Noah Longfield, the most popular and smartest boy in school, walk up to our little table with his mom, and his sister, Lily. I waved at Lily and she slightly waved back, and gave a small smile. "Hello. How may we help you three? Today we are having a sale. Fifty percent off any horse!" Lori said, joyfully. My face falls, as Lori looks over at me and mouths, I'm Sorry. Mrs. Longfield looks at Lori then at me. "Okay. We are here to choose a pure bread show horse." She says. My eyes stung and tears were threatening to spill out. Domino was the only pure bread horse we had. She looked over at me and whispered, I'm So Sorry. To me. She stood up, but she didn't smile. She was frowning. "Umm......" Lori said. She looked at me, then Mrs. Longfield, me, Mrs. Longfield, and over and over again. She then whispered, I'm Sorry. Again before walking towards the small family. It looked like Lori was about to cry. She frowned as she spoke. "Of course. Let me show you." Lori said, motioning towards the horse truck Domino had been in. I didn't follow them. I sat in my chair, and put my head down on the table. I put my hands in my face and cried into them. I sniffled and sobbed as people walked past the table and stared at me. Soon enough, after 12 minutes, they had come back, with Domino in a rope, as Noah held him. Domino whinnied and neighed. I looked up, and he caught a glimpse of me. He whinnied and neighed more as he tried to bite the rope. I jumped out of my chair and ran over to him. I pet his nose. He nuzzled my face as I softly smiled. I cried into his fur as I wiped my tears away. No one was looking as I cried. Noah looked at me. "Come on, Domino. Let's go home." Noah said tugging on Dominos lead rope slightly. Domino turned to me one last time. I kissed his nose. "I'll miss you, Domino. I love you." I whispered into his soft nose. He nuzzled me once before Noah's mom tugged the rope and Domino was forced to turn around and walk away. I watched as he looked back at me, and I cried. I walked towards Lori as she put a hand around me. "I'm sorry, Kid. I'm sorry......" Lori says as she pats my back. The last glimpse I saw of Domino was him staring at me, with his beautiful brown eyes. This wasn't a dream like last time. This was real......
