SWORD FIGHT

"Come on Kiki! We're gonna be late for class!" I was exhausted from gym today, and I didn't feel like going to health. "I'm coming! I'm coming!" Kiki is my best friend. She always helped me when I needed her, and right now I DO NOT need to be late to class. But then again this is health, and I don't want to go to health. "You know what Kiki take all the time you need." She finally closed the locker and clicked the lock shut. "Are you being sarcastic?" She was pulling down the lock to make sure it was locked. "No I just don't want to go to health. I mean seriously we just came back from gym. Who would want to go to a class where you have to do MORE gym?" she looked like she was actually thinking about the answer. Then she looks at me and says " heck no!" then Kiki and I burst out laughing. I was being pushed and shoved by people also trying to get to their classes. It is crazy to have small hallways and so many people actually trying to get to their classes. "Ok come on Kiki let's go!" she nods her head and we almost sprint to our class. Then kiki stops in her tracks and goes back the way we were coming from. "Kiki!" I go running after her, passing all the redish pinkish colored lockers, to Kiki's locker. "What the hell did you forget?" by the time I got to her locker she had already opened her lock. " I forgot my planner." oh great the most important thing you need for class and you forget it. I thought to myself. Kiki was searching through her locker when I heard her say, "I got it!" she quickly slams her locker and puts on the lock and pulls it down once more to make sure it's locked. "kiana come on or we're gonna be l-" the sound of the bell cut my sentence off. Kiana and I both exchanged nervous faces and once again sprinted towards our class. "This is your fault!" she looked guilty, only 'cause she knew she was. We finally saw our classroom right up ahead, and then we saw our teacher close the door slowly to make sure we got in before she had to lock the door. We were almost there and the door was almost closed. Kiana and I were like, "Noooooo!" Then all of a sudden I'm in my desk and Kiki is the one trying to get inside quick enough. She looks through the window while running and looks like she's trying to say, "What the hell?" I just shrug my shoulders the, I don't-know-what-happened kinda way. She turns her head towards the door and she also starts picking up speed and the next thing you know she's in the classroom in two seconds.

I'm finally home. There's no reason to ask if anybody is home because I live alone. See my parents were millionaires, but when I was five they got in a car accident. Supposuvly I was in the car at the time but when the ambulance took me to the hospital they found no scratch marks what so ever on my body. They didn't even find a single bruise. But that was seven years ago. So now I'm twelve years old. I live in a small two story house, with a dog that has been with me since the accident. It's a german sheperd. That same day of the accident I woke up in the car and it was pitch black outside. The only lights you could see were the ambulence lights coming towards my parents car. As the ambulence got closer I could see my surroundings more. My head felt really heavy but I had the strength to pick it up. I only had a glimpse out of the clear, broken window. It was still slightly dark so I had a hard time looking out the window but I saw a figure shaped like a dog, and as the ambulence came closer it was more clear and I thought the figure was looking straight at me. My eyes became very heavy but I could still see and as I was closing my eyes the figure lifted its head up and ears as if it was worried. Then my sight became total dark and that was the last thing I saw that hour.

I woke up in the hospital and it was pitch black outside. Much like it was when I was in the car. I slightly lifted my upper half of my body and there were nurses at the corner with their eyes wide open as if something came to them as a surprise. I waited a couple minutes for them to turn around and notice me but not one nurse did. I started getting irritated and coughed low, but they still didn't look at me. So again I cough slightly louder this time, and again none of the nurses turned around. ok now I'm getting irritated way off my limit. I thought to myself. I looked at what the nurses had placed around me. The only thing within reaching distance was my necklace that my mother had given me. She said I had to protect it and it would protect me. I thanked her for the necklace trying not to tell her how ridiculous that sounded. So I just went along with it. But the fact that my mom might not be with me anymore, I wouldn't risk throwing something so important to her. I kept searching for anything else they might've left around me. Then I found it! It was perfect it was soft yet hard at the same time, it was just what I needed, a rubber band! I grabbed the rubber band and started stretching it. I took aim at a nurse and fired! " Ow! What the hell was that?" they finally all turned around and stared straight at me. " Did you do that?" I shook my head up and down. " Only because you guys weren't paying attention!" they all looked at each other and shook their head as if to agree. Three hours later the nurse came up to me and told me it was time for me to go to sleep. She went towards the lamp and turned it off. Then she went towards the T.V to turn it off. "No wait! Leave the T.V on." she gave me a slight smirk. "It helps me go to sleep." finally, she left the room. My vision started getting hazy and the next thing you know, I'm asleep. I was awoken by the feeling of water on my face. I tightened my eyes and opened them. Then there was a dog right next to me! My mouth flew open because I thought it was the same dog I saw at the accident. " I can't believe I'm about to ask you this but, were you the one dog I saw at the accident?" like I thought the dog wouldn't answer. A nurse was coming towards my room, so the dog jumped on the bed and laid its head on my shoulder. The nurse asked me if the dog was mine. I saw the ears were up as if to tell her that it was mine. I just nodded. That's how shadow and I met.
