Dear Cinderella

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

            I picked up the puppy and snuggled him to my face “Hi there Kermit.” I sad while making kissy faces at him. “How are we going to explain you to daddy huh?”  The dog was literally the cutest thing I had ever seen, that might be a little biased. But c’mon who doesn’t love puppies.  I ran him upstairs and immediately called dad at work.

            He picked up on the first ring “Hello, Elle is there something wrong.” His voice frantic.

            “No dad nothing’s wrong I was just wondering if I could get a puppy.” I said in a sweet voice that he usually couldn’t deny.

            “Elle, we don’t have the money for a dog so I’m going to have to say no.” he said while trying to make his voice sound stern.

            Please daddy, I’ll pay for its food and I’ll take care of it and potty train it and everything.” I begged.

            “And just how are you going to do that Elle you don’t even have a job.” He responded.

            “Daddy please I can do it I swear. I get money every week from you for doing chores and I never spend it so please, please, please.” I begged some more.

            “I guess but wait until tomorrow and I’ll go with you.” He said. Oh shit how was I going to explain that one.

            “Umm….Dad.” I started.

            “You already got one didn’t you?” he said with laughter in his voice.

            “Maybe” I said again in a sweet voice.

            “You’re lucky I love you honey you know that.” He said in-between laughter.

            “Yup I know daddy! Now get back to work and bring home some bacon!” I shouted at him playfully.

            Kermit sat on my floor licking his paws and chasing his tail. I could seriously watch this little guy all day. I had been taking him out every two to three hours to go to the bathroom trying to potty train him. I knew it would take time but I did not want him making messes in the house.

            I pulled out my lap top and sure enough there was an email from Cameron.

Dear Elle,

How do you like the puppy? It’s just what you asked for isn’t it? Sorry I couldn’t stick around a say hi earlier but I promise we will meet soon enough. By the way what costume are you going to wear to the Halloween dance? I’m going as Prince Charming to try and stick with our theme you and I have going. Only three more weeks and we’ll get to meet each other.

Adrian just got home and said that Ryan came and spoke to him after school. Something about you not worrying about your studies and all of your thoughts are consumed with him. I’m hoping that I consume some of your thoughts as well. =) anyways I was wondering if you had spoken to Ryan about the whole relationship thing. I know I told you earlier to ride it out but I actually think you might need to tell him the real way you feel. Otherwise you might start to lead him own and that can only because you trouble in the end; and I’m sure you have enough trouble with Adrian and me.

So that’s really all I have to say, I’ll talk to you sometime tonight I’m sure of it =) oh and get to doing your College Prep assignment before Ryan gets even more suspicious.

Yours truly,

Cameron
