Chapter 3
Rose woke with the sound of the birds, she opened her brown hazel nut eyes to see a great horned owl in the tall oak tree making a nest, I have always wondered how do the nest have such balance to stand on a tree so still?
I sat on my bed watching Ranger play with the kits on the blue rug on the floor. As they laughed I thought of how me and my little sister Maddy used to play together outside with ranger, only she knows about my power to speak to animals. Although its been a while since my father took her into his custody, now its only me and Ranger.
While I left them playing, I got dressed in my usual skinny jeans and a white shirt with the words, "Rebel" shirt. The day before I had bought myself a new green bomber jacket, I decided that it was time to change. I got my old blue sweater and neatly folded it and tucked it back into my drawer.
Once I had feed the animals there kibble and some leftover salmon from a few days ago, I walked down the curved staircase and into the kitchen. I opened the cabinet door to the plates and saw a note left from my mom,
" Have a good day at school sweety, im sorry that I could not make dinner yesterday. See you when you get home and can you please take Ranger to the vet today?"
Once she finished breakfast she got her backpack from the coat hanger and she walked out the door kissing Ranger goodbye. I walked down the lonely street with small old houses cupped together. Soon when the trail ended and the school opened. Once everyone got settled into there seats a sliest knock was at the door when Mrs.Shobok opened in came a boy with a green sweater and jeans, " Class, meet our new student Oliver Evergreen," she said in an excited tone, "Oliver would you like to introduce yourself to the class?". The boy seemed quite, but he soon mumbled, " I'm from Wyoming, I am an only child and live with my dad.", soon Mariam raised her hand and asked, " Are your parents divorced?" then everyone started laughing but it stopped as soon as Mrs.Shobok said to settle down and take a seat for the lesson!
During math class I saw Mariam and her gang passing notes to Oliver but he never opened them all he did was throw them near the air vent. Soon at recess I sat under tall oak tree with my notebook and pencil, I started writing but soon noticed Oliver staring at me with a half smile on his face, I quickly closed the book and opened her mouth to say hi but hesitated. " There all so loud," he said, " Ya, they really are" I replied with a chuckle. Soon the whistle blew and it was time to go inside, I quickly gathered my stuff and went to the line.
It was finnaly writing class, I took my usual seat at the stranded four seat table and started qorking on the new assignment, a memoir about my life.
Usually I would swift through my writing but today I was unconcentrated. I looked around the room to see Oliver standing by the door still trying to find a place to sit. "Oliver," I said, "theres an extra seat here if you want it?" He came walking swiftly like the wind, and a smile on his face. He soon sat from the seat across from me, "Umm Rose," he said hesitating, "can you show me around the neighborhood?". I was not that sure what to say but he is the new kid, "yeah, I can show you around.".
I didn't know what to do i never really had people talk to! When I was all packed I went to find Oliver so we could wait for the announcement, although instead I saw Mariam going through his backpack! I was so mad that I went over there snatched the backpack out of her hand and said, "Mariam I dont remember you having a green and black backpack, dont tell me that you are a boy! Or maybe a stalker?" Everybody soon turned there heads over giggling, she quickly turned around flicked her hair and walked away! In the crowd was Oliver trying to get through I grabbed his arm and yanked it until he ws out of the traffic! "Ow" he complained, before he could say anything else the announcement came on, once it was done I yelled at him, "Come on, lets go!"
