Day: 15. August 2009

My door opened and my mother stood there framed in the door way.

She told me like always that everything would be okay, But it wasn’t it just wasn’t without Buddy. Everything was better when Dad was around but too bad he was long gone. He was my baseball coach along time ago and a darn good one at that. I was like the real meaning of Daddy’s girl but now I’m just little old Emma Jenheart from down the street. It’s hard being the only girl who likes to play baseball it’s just not right that Buddy has to leave too. My Dad used to be my favorite family member the one who understood me. He was the one who called me Emmy my favorite nickname, now the only person who calls me that now is my neighbor Tommy. I may be fourteen but I have the heart of a kindergardener.

I ran outside and knocked on Tommy’s door. Tommy’s mom answered and Tommy walked right outside beside me. “Tommy, I need a favor”, I said in the voice Mom used to use on Dad. “Yeah, Emmy”? He asked. “Can you help me find Buddy? He ranaway and Mom doesn’t have the gas to go looking for her in the old Cab”, I said quietly. Tommy nodded and we ran towards the place Buddy, Tommy, and I used to play as todlers. When we got there I was amazed to find Buddy under the shed by the graveyard. “Here, boy. Come here, Buddy”, I said making motions. Buddy ran over to me and licked my toes because I was barefoot. “Buddy! Hey Pal”, Tommy laughed rubbing behind Buddy’s ears. “Thanks for helping, Tommy”, I said quietly. Tommy looked over at me then asked, “Have you been crying”? I sniffed and nodded. “Buddy was a gift from my Dad. He was the last thing my Dad ever gave me before…before…the accident”, I sniffed. Tommy nodded and I laughed, “Dad always called me his Lost Dog because I was always here at the shed”. Tommy laughed and gave me a smile. “I remember, Emmy just know forever you’ll be my Lost Dog”, Tommy laughed. “That was really cheesy”, I laughed. “I know that’s why I said it, Emmy”, He laughed.

And I guess we lived happily ever after……..

The sun beat down on us as we put up signs and worried about Buddy. Zack came to me and said,” All done, Emma.” I sighed and said,” I ran out of signs too. We walked back to our house. Mum was sitting on the couch reading Tom Sawyer. “How did it go?” We looked up and saw Jake, our older brother looking down at us. “Okay,” I said bitterly,” It might have gone better if you had agreed to help!” Just then the phone rang. Mum picked it up. “Hello? Yes…okay…Good.” She hung up and I blurted the questions that burned on my tongue,” Is it about Buddy? Did they find our dog!??” Mum looked at me in surprise then it softened,” No, dear. That was Mrs. Jones from the book club.” I ran from the living room to my room and slammed the door. I fell on my bed and sobbed. I missed Buddy. He would come up to my and lick away any tears that were on my face. I got Buddy on my tenth birthday and he was my puppy but he loved everyone and everyone loved him. Now he was gone! I had woken that morning and went down to the kitchen to let him out and give him his breakfast like I did every morning. But when I got there the door was open and Buddy was gone.

   “This is so booring!”I grumbled to Convity. “Your right, I think I’m going to fall asleep if the computer let’s us take a break!” Convity answered me.  I was a human but there were like twenty kids that were Dianleses or Grantes and even Fortoses. There were much more,too. Convity was a Lataski. She had blue pale skin and odd almond shaped eyes. Her eyes were an aqua blue and often turned baby blue when she was bored. Suddenly my computer said in a robotic voice,”You are dismissed for 30 minutes.” I gave a short sigh of relief. The class got up from their domes and out to the playground. I walked out and looked around. Cars and scooters zoomed passed on the section that were made for vehicles. Convity and I stood next to the sliding elevator. We went up and up and up and finally the door opened. We walked out to our dorm. Convity and I were room mates. We were ready for a movie. We had just settled down when we heard voices in the hallway. I walked over to the door and peeked out. Two Adorians were standing in the hallway and they were carrying Razer Sharp pistol Blasters. I gulped. Pistols could kill anyone it touched and they were forbidden at this school. I crep to the t.v and turned it off. “There are two men with Pistols. They’re right out side our hallway.” I whispered. Convity gasped and her aqua eyes grew a bright shade of aqua.  Suddenly we heard someone trying to force the door open. We knew we didn’t have much time. Luckily we were prepared for a emergency. We escaped through a emergency elevator and it zipped down to the security room. When we entered we found the security was packed. “Drisaly! “someone called my name. I looked toward the voice. It was Frizzel a human but she was  a big snob. She was probably trying to tell me that I had gotten hear late and was a big loser. I ignored her and Convity and I walked over to Grandor a Samillian. “Hello,guys,”he said with a small smile. We smiled back and Grandor sighed heavily. “Lancord didn’t make it. The men grabed him before he could get into the elevator,”then he said so quietly that I almost didn’t hear him,”I miss my brother a lot.” He turned toward us I saw that his eyes were filling with tears his green skin was a darker shade of green. “I hate them!”he blurted. “Hate is not the way of the students here,”Convity reminded him. “I don’t care. They have my brother,”he said angrily.
