1 On my Own
"Hey Jordan and Margret, have you seen my last box of books?" I yelled from the top of the steps to my sister and brother.
"No," Jordan said flat out.
"I think it's in the back of your jeep," Margret said.
"Oh thanks," I stated. "Well, see ya guys later."
"Bye," they told me in unison.
"We'll miss you honey," my mom told me as she hugged me.
"Bye son, if you need any help on the ranch just call I can be there in a couple of hours," my dad stated.
"Ok well see ya latter," I said as I started my jeep and go onto the road.
My cat and dog sat on the front seat sleeping. As I looked at the map for where the boat dock I need I noticed a pretty girl with pink hair looking at me. It was Popuri, one of my friends from school. Just as I was about to say hi her boy friend Kai pulled her away. My cell then started ringing. "Hello," I said………. "Oh Karen hi………….. What you just got engaged………… Congrads………….. It's in the Sunshine Islands where Rick is from……… Well I'm moving there………… Well talk to you later."
I then started looking again, "pier ten, pier ten where are you? Oh there," I concluded as I drove up the ramp onto the boat. The trip was extremely long and by the end of it I was dyeing for sleep.
"Hmm so let's see where is three Verdure Way," I pondered as this girl with short pink hair about my height came walking over.
"Hello, so whatcha' looking for," she said.
"Um well three Verdure Way," I responded.
"Well here, follow me and I'll take you there. Also by the way my name is Natalie."
"Well thanks Natalie," I concluded as we started down the road to my new ranch.
"Well here we are, and by the way what's your name," she pondered.
"Well my name is Richard, but please call me Ritchie."
"Oh so you're the new rancher I've been hearing my grandpa talk about."
"Yep, also if a moving van gets lost please direct it in my direction."
"Ok got it. Also isn't this you grandparents' farm."
"Yep they just recently moved to mineral town to retire."
"Oh well you seem tired so I'll see you tomorrow."
"Thanks again," I finished as she started down the path. I brought my cat and dog into my house. I decided to go to sleep; my grandparent's left their furniture so I had the master bedroom with their old bed. Just as I was getting to sleep someone started knocking on my door. "Ugh who could that be," I groaned.
"Hi my name's Chelsea I'm a rancher that came to Sunshine Islands to research some different kinds of plants. Well if you need any help come to my room in the inn."
"Ok well I'll see you around."
"Ok bye."
