Phone CallA Chapter by Keirsten
Once I got to the end of the sand path, I could see my house. It's a white house with a nice porch and beautiful flowers bordering the walk way to the house. As I got closer I could see my bedroom through the window. When I stepped onto the front porch I heard a crash. It was definitely the sound of glass breaking. I ran into the house to find my mom and Keith sitting on the e couch laughing hysterically. Keith is my mom's boyfriend. I then saw my favorite dolphin lamp shatter to pieces on the floor.
"What happened?!" I asked. In between laughs my mom attempted to explain. All I heard where the words vacuum, Keith, tripped, and broken lamp. While I waited for them to calm down so i could get the whole story I went into the kitchen and got a can of Sprite. I thought about what I'm going to wear tomorrow to go surfing with Justin and Kelsey. I calmly walked into the living room and they had stopped laughing for the most part. Then I said again, "What happened?". While trying to hold back laughing my mom said, "Well, I was vacuuming and" she paused to laugh a bit and went on, "Keith ran into the house and looked excited about something and then he tripped over the vacuum and completely wiped. When his arm hit the coffee, the lamp wobbled, fell, then broke." Then she and Keith started laughing again. I walked away to go to my room. Going up the stairs there are pictures of my mom and me, and of me when I was little. I get to the top of the stairs and open up my door which has a sign on it that says "Lacie's Room" and there is a picture of Kelsey, Justin and me when we went on our class trip to Disney World. Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh. My calm room with pictures of Justin, Kelsey, and me everywhere. My huge bed is up against the wall and my TV is across from it. My bed has a light blue comforter and a bunch of pillows. I have ocean blue colored walls and a white carpet. I walked over to my acoustic guitar, picked it up, and sat on my bed. While i was about to tune it my cell phone started to ring. It was Justin. "Hey, hey. What's up?" I said "Nothing, bored as usual. You?" he replied. "Uh, nothing really. Keith broke my favorite dolphin lamp." I said sounding a little bit upset. "Oh, I'm sorry. We should go to the mall and look for a new one and maybe catch a bite there too. I know how much you like Subway." I agreed and we both laughed. "Yeah, that sounds fun. It can be a Justin and Lacie day unless you want Kels to go too. It doesn't matter to me." I said. "Hmm. A Justin and Lacie sounds pretty good. Ha." he said happily. "Cool. We can go after we are done surfing tomorrow. So is there any specific reason why you called?" I asked. "Well no, not really. Kelsey wanted to go home so I did the same thing. There is no use staying down at the beach alone. Especially at night." he explained. "Okay, that cool. Wow that sunset was amazing when we where at the beach." I said. " Yeah it was," he coughed. "Well sorry for calling you and having such a short conversation, but I have to go help my dad with something. I'll see you tomorrow." he said. "Okay I guess I'll see you tomorrow bye." and we hung up. I didn't feel like playing my guitar anymore so I put it down and lied down. My puppy Gabriel, I call her Gabes, jumped onto my bed to cuddle with me. She is a German Sheppard. She is just a few months old. We had another dog. Her name was Sasha she died while giving birth to Gabes and four other puppies. I really miss her. She was a German Sheppard too. Gabes looks exactly like Sasha when she was a puppy. The adorable brown eyes, the beautiful, soft black fur on their backs and tails that fades into a tan-ish color on their stomachs and legs. Plus the cutest little ears. It took what it seemed to be to me forever to convince my mom to let me keep one of the puppies. I tried pushing for two of them, but my mom said, "One and only one. You have to take care of him or her. You can pick the puppy and the name," which i was completely fine with. The first time that I took Gabes to the beach she was chasing the sand crabs and trying to eat the sand. One time she tried to run out in the water. She is so cute. When I saw Gabes falling asleep on me, I decided to follow her lead. Before I dozed off, I looked at the time. 10:32 pm. then I closed my eyes. © 2008 Keirsten |
