PB&J. That's what I was having for lunch the day Zara called. My parents said I could stay home from school today. Yes!! I checked my phone. 29%. Ugh! My grandma had called me last night but I was asleep. One two three four one two three four one two three four one two three four,that is what I did every time I put a bite of PB&J in my mouth.

The home phone rang, but after eating my PB&J I went and put on some sweat pants and my dad's old motorcycle T-shirt, after the phone rings for a while it will say who's calling. That's exactly what it did.

Call from....... Zara Hendrick. The machine said. I heard it and stumbled out of my bedroom almost falling on our cat, Fluffbutt, but I got there.

I snatched the phone and dialed her number.

Zara
Oh my gosh Cara!!!!!!

Me
Has your aunt realized.......

Zara
No oh no. Turns out ,that you won't believe this, I ran away!

Me
I'm confused. You ran away?

Zara
Ya, she was going to take me to an orphanage she was going to leave me there! But I ran away!!

Me
Where are you now??

Zara
I'm right next door!

Right after she said that I fainted.

I can't believe Zara showed up!!😱
So excited!!😻😍
