Summer in Hawaii
"Marco," I yelled
"Polo," my friends called back.
"Caught you," I yelled to Jasmyne
"No fair," she yelled back, "you looked!" My friends and I play this game almost every day since we live by the beach. I asked I Michelle if she wanted to go in and get a snack. She agreed so we all went to her house and had lemonade and cookies. "Anastasia," she asked me, "wanna see my new dog?" I loved dogs, so I couldn't resist. As I walked to her house I thought about how much I wanted a dog. My mother was allergic to dogs so I could not get one. Her dog was so cute, it was a black poodle with a pink sweater and bow, and it even had matching pink booties.
I went back to the pool and hopped in, that water felt so good. Then I seen the most adorable thing, Michelle brought her poodle in a pink swimsuit. I thought," What is it with that dog and pink?" When she got to the pool she had a pink inflatable, Fi-Fi, her poodle hopped right on and floated all around. She didn't even get wet, weird. The sun began to hide behind the clouds and we headed home. When I got home lasagna, broccoli, steak, and mince pie was waiting for me. Many people think mince pie is gross, well it is, but I look at it as, it's dessert so don't say no thank you. I finished dinner and took a nice warm shower, put on my PJs and hopped into bed.
I thought about a dog, and how much I wanted one, I had dreamt about me with a small purse dog walking in the mall. But my dream just popped and floated away like a bubble. No matter how hard I thought the sensation of me with a dog vanishes. I wish there was a cure to dog allergies. Even if there was I still couldn't get a dog. My parents came in to say good night, I thought this is my chance. "Dad can I get a dog?"
"No, maybe when you get older, plus your mom is allergic to dog hair," my dad said as he went down stairs. As I slept I thought about a life without dog allergies. I saw myself with a dog together. And I saw my friend's dogs playing with my dog. But in the midst of all of that I seen myself just watching other dogs play as I sit on the curb. It is like I am dogless, without hope of ever getting. As if I have given up on getting a dog.
