That morning had us kids stay home from school, because of what had happened to us last night. I slept in until eleven o’clock, Suzan was up running around, and Jordain was still sleeping. When I went out into the kitchen to grab something to eat, mom was sitting on the counter staring off in space. She seemed like she was thinking really hard about something.
“Mom” I say to try and get her attention.
“Yes Kaitlynn”
“Do you know what there is to eat?”
“Yeah, we have some sandwich meat in the fridge, and then the bread is in the bread box”. I made a sandwich and went to the living room and watch some TV with suzanne and dad. I watched TV with them for about an hour then i went outside. While I was outside, a little puppy walked up to me. I looked for a tag or anything but there was nothing, he looked like he has rolled in the mud. I brought him inside and showed him to mom.
“Where did you get that thing young lady?” Mom asked
“I was sitting on the porch and it just walked up to me, nobody was around and it had no tags. I think that it has no home.”
“Well we will keep it here until we find its owner if it has one. Now go take it out back and clean it up with the hose, then bring it in and I will get the little guy something to eat.” I ran out the door and cleaned him up, when I got done I brought him into mom. Mom gave him some leftover meat from last nights dinner.
“So, what do you wanna call the little guy?” Dad asked me.
“Well, I don't know. Suzan, what do you wanna call him?”
“I wanna call him Rascal.” Suzan screams of excitement. We went for a walk and looked around for the owner but nobody claimed him so we gave up. We finished walking around town and looking, then went home. Dad asked if we had found the owner when we walked through the door.
“No we didn’t dear.” Mom says. That night Rascal slept in my room cuddled up to me. In the middle of the night he crawled under the blankets with me, he was so cold that he was shivering.
That morning before I went to school I had to walk the dog and give him something to eat. It was seven o’clock when i headed out to school with Jordian. Mom stayed home and watched the puppy for me while i was at school. At school all I wanted to do was be home with Rascal. At lunch I was sitting by myself and a really cute guy who I have been talking to for a little while. His name is Nate, he was funny, and the best.
“Hey!” He said as he walked over and sat down.
“Hey”
“I have a question for you”
“Ya”
“Will you go out with me?”
“YES!” He sat with me for the rest of lunch and then he walked me to class. He was really funny, he would always make jokes that made me laugh and its hard to make me laugh. I haven’t been this happy in years. He was the best person in the world.
