The Ranch Hand

Chapter 2

I awoke to the birds chirping loudly as if they were singing a wake up Laeny song. I climbed out of bed and grabbed my only pair of jean shorts in my dresser since all my clothes were packed for Wyoming. I walked over to my closet and grabbed my only shirt left which happened to be my favorite crock top with sunflower design and lace at the top. Even though I hated bugs I still loved animals as much as anything good. I went down stairs to find my mom cooking waffles and bacon and my dad sitting at the table drinking coffe out of his favorite duck dynasty mug. I rapped my arms around him as he did the same turning into a big bear hug. "I'm going to miss you daddy", I said holding back my tears.

"I will miss you to jello", he said with his voice shaky. Jello was a nickname my dad gave me a while back. Its a long story.

I was kind of exited to go to Wyoming first of all to see my grandparents and second to see my horse "Dixie". I know I don't sound like a country cowgirl but I am a total cowgirl country chick."Here honey", said my mom as she handed me a plate with eggs, bacon, and waffles.

"Better hurry and eat your plane leaves in an hour", said daddy making himself a plate.

I ate breakfast quietly as my parents talked about their trip. I finished of my plate then headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw a face that no one wanted to look at, I was the complete definition of ugly.

After my teeth were brushed, I grabbed my brushes and brushed my long, brown, and wavy hair. My hair was pretty thin but not completely, I hated my hair as well as everything about me. when my hair was fully brushed out, I grabbed my makeup to cover up my ugly face and applied foundation smoothly all over my face, then added my Mac powder, I whipped on my Mac mascara over my bright blue eyes, finally I added eye shadow and some blush for final touches. I packed my tooth brush, brushes, and makeup into my suitcase as I heard my parents calling me and telling me its time to go. I grabbed my white converse and slipped them onto my feet then quickly ran to my closet to grab my cowgirl boots. The only reason I didn't want to go is because of my parents, I would miss them dearly and if course the bugs. I ran down stairs where my parents were waiting with my bags in their hands.

"Ready", they asked?

"Ready" I replied with a smile on my face. We walked to our ford truck and climbed in. As we pulled out of the drive way I whipped out my iPhone and texted my best friend Katie and told her about my summer,

Laeny~ hey Kate I just wanted to tell you I won't be able to see you this summer, I'm flying to Wyoming to stay with my grandparents on their ranch with the gross bugs. text you later bye.😭😭😙😔

Katie~ I will miss you so much sis, see you when school starts😘😭😭😥

We pulled into the airport where we pulled out my bags and put them in the baggage area. "Your plane leaves in ten minutes", said my mom starting to year up.

I hugged my parents and gave them kisses. I walked away and hopped onto the plane where I took my seat by the window. I watched as the plane took off then we were gone, way up high into the sky.

So what do you think about Laeny leaving for the summer.

I hope your enjoying so far.

Xoxo,
