Puppy Love

Chapter 1: Santa's lazy scouts

"Sam wake up!" My brother Danny said while shaking my legs. Sometimes I think of why I have an annoying brother like him. Even though we fight like cats and dogs, I still love my brother. I will protect him from the ones who despise him. Yes! Despise! My brother is a BIG jerk.

"What do you want?!" I groaned and glance at the green clock on the nightstand. "It's like seven in the morning!" I hissed at him, kicking my blanket off my legs. It's Sunday and I supposed to be enjoying my beauty sleep.

"Sam, Mallows' missing and I don't want mom and dad killing me. Help me find him." That little beast!

Where had he gone now. Mom and Dad totally love that dog, they bought him last month cause my brother's been nagging that 'A man is never a man without a dog' as he said. Mallows is a golden retriever, he has this nice smooth golden fur that makes you want to cuddle with him. But I hate his hobby.
He likes to licks things! One day I caught him chewing my pens! And it kills me 'cause I chew my pens too without me knowing and the last thing I want is dog saliva in my mouth so I bought a box of new pens at the bookstore. Eghh!!

"What did you do now? Argh!! Mom and Dad totally going to-" He cut me off before I could finish what I'm saying.

"Okay...okay I know, but will you please help me find him first before you go all grizzly on me."

"Argh fine! But next time this happened, go find him yourself."

I change into my sweatpants and white tank top not even bothering if I'll take a bath. Because let's all face it, I'm one of Santa's lazy scouts. I got my keys in the nightstand then went outside walking towards my car unlocking it. I climb into the drivers seat and Danny into the passenger seat.
I drove down the streets, there's a lot of possibilities that the dog might be eating garbage right now.

"Hey Sam, stop! I think I saw him." He pointed at the sidewalk and then I saw a guy holding Mallows in his arms. I didn't recognize him at first but when he turn his glance into our direction I froze.

OH MY GOD!

This is isn't happening, it can't be.

It's Khale, Khale Mckenzie holding Mallows. Khale the biggest jerk in school, bigger jerk than my brother. The troublemaker. The prankster. I remember this girl running all around our school, wearing nothing but underwear, of course it's Khale's fault. He took the girl's clothes during her gym class! I got like 4 classes with him but I never actually talk to him. It's scares the bunny out of me. I try my best avoiding him cause-

"Come on Sam let's get him." Danny said cutting off my thoughts.

"Ah yeah sure, just give me a sec." I said and he immediately got off the car approaching Khale.

I think I'm going to have a panic attack.

Easy...

Easy...

Easy!!!

And now I'm hyperventilating.

I can do this! Just need to breath.

'Oh come on! Approach him he's hot'

WHAT THE FUDGE!

Great just great, there's a voice inside my head.

I turn down the car, got off and unlock the car door behind me.

Okay here I go....

WAIT!

I brush off the back of my sweatpants making sure there's no dirt. I fix my hair using the side mirror of my car. I need to look presentable, rumors can't start going around of how a caveman Samantha Rile is and I don't want Khale go crazy on me pranking me every time like he did with Harett Hugo in 8th grade. Poor Harett walking around school with cheese on his all over him.

The next thing I knew my feet is dragging me where Khale and Danny are standing.

"He's a- Oh hi Samantha didn't see you there. What are you doing here?" Khale with a grin on his face. I didn't expect him to call me in my full name. Stalker much.

"Okay this is creepy." I mumbled to myself.

"Aren't you going to answer my question?" He said.

"Oh we're actually looking for our dog, you know that puppy you're holding." I can make through this, as long as he can talk like a real person.

"Oh! Daniel is your brother right, I completely forgot." I glanced at my brother giving him a questioning look but he had the same look as me so I shrugged. He knows my brother's full name too. People call him Danny, but seriously DANIEL! I'm starting to believe he is really a stalker.

"Yeah, can we have our puppy now?" I said in reply. I need to get away from here as fast as I could.

"What's with the hurry Sam, eager to get away from me?" He said his grin turning into a smirk. He knows I'm avoiding him?! I heard him chuckle. I guess I left my mouth open in shock, I didn't reply.

"Well Sam here's your puppy." He said while handing me Mallows then walking away. "See you Tomorrow..............Oh and Sam." He paused look at me up and down. A smirk creeped into his lips. What's with the smirk?!

"Next time you leave the house, take a bath. We don't want Mr.Ferry lecturing us how the class smells like fish." Then he turned his back at us.

I heard a loud laugh behind me and when I look, I saw my brother crunching his stomach laughing to death. I glared that him.

"Okay...okay I'll stop." He said putting his hands in surrender releasing small giggles.

"You owe me big time!" I shouted at him.

In the middle of the night I woke up to the feeling of some dripping in my face. I slowly opened my eyes searching where the wetness came from but It's so dark and the only source of light is coming for the light post outside my window which is covered by the curtain. I swayed my feet now sitting in my bed when suddenly I caught a movement right beside my closet.

"Uhm...Daniel come out it's not funny you dick." I walked towards it, when I'm close enough I heard it breathing heavily. I'm really sure it's my brother cause we we're a having a prank war last week but we called it truce.

"Dude it's no funny anymore. If this is the way of getting back at me then your a cheater we called it truce you idiot!" I whisper yelled so I will not wake mom and dad then they lecture us at being immature.Then when I'm like inches away from the silhouette I stopped then the thing jump at me like literally attacking me.

"Get off! Get off! Daniel you idiot! Help!" I was blocking my face cause it was dumping wet licks all over me. Ugh it's so hairy when was the last time my brother shaved?

"Sam what the- Crap! Mallows get off of Sam or I'm not going to give you treats in a week...no a month!" My brother burst into my door grabbing Mallows out- Wait Mallows?!

"You stupid dog! How the hell did you entered my room?!" When my brother successfully get him off me I immediately stood up brushing the strands of dog hair left in my jammies. I look down at Mallows glaring at him. He cocked his hairy head on the side looking like he did nothing wrong then I turned to my brother.

"This dog is out of control."

"Chill down your room is completely open so he got in, it's your fault."

"Chill down? Chill down?! That dog was making out with me!" I said pointing at Mallows who's waggling his tail back and forth.

"Shush! You'll wake mom and dad." He step out of the door looking left and right at the hallway checking if our parents heard it or not. I sighed

"Next time lock that dog inside your room when you sleep."

"That dog has a name and next time close your room so that dog can't slip in." He said in a mocking tone.

I pulled out my tongue at him and he did the same.

Wow how old are we again?

He exited my room closing it behind him. I let out a tired breathe then I remember. I need to wash my face...Ewghhhhhh! Stupid dog.
