Chapter 10

Jamie and Sally met at the Beaufort Animal Shelter around 4:00. Jamie walked, since her father had the car and she had decided that it would be good exercise. It was a beautiful day in Beaufort as usual, a slight breeze was in the air and the sun was shining brightly. When Jamie reached the Animal Shelter, she walked in and politely asked the girl at the front desk where she could find Sally. The girl told her to walk on back to the kennels, which she did.

"Sally?" She asked a blond haired girl kneeling by a cage.

The girl stood up and turned around to face Jamie, "Hey!" She said brightly.

Jamie smiled and looked around at the variety of animals, "These animals are precious!"

Sally grinned, "Yeah they are. I'm saving up my money to get that one, right there."

Jamie followed Sally's finger to a cage with a brown Pug in it, "Awww. It's so cute!"

"Yeah, he is. When I get him, I'm gonna name him Trip. Cause when ever I let him out, he trips all over himself and everything."

Jamie giggled, "Awww."

"You can pick one out, if you like." Sally said motioning to the many animals.

"I would, I mean I want to, but my father, he's allergic to dogs and I'm not a big cat fan, besides I don't know if we have enough money for that sort of thing right now." Jamie said doubtfully.

Sally frowned, "Oh, Sorry, It'd be nice if you could have one."

"Yeah, it would," Jamie replied, looking around at all the cages. "But, if I could have one, I'd have that one."

Sally looked at the cage Jamie was pointing to, "Yeah, she's cute. Dachshunds are good dogs." Sally replied.

Jamie walked over to the dachshund's cage. "I wish I could take you home," she whispered to the dog.

"You can play with her for a little while if you'd like to," Sally said walking over to the cage.

"Oh, really, thank you Sally," Jamie squealed

Sally then took the dog out and handed her to Jamie. Sally then watched Jamie play with the dog. "Jamie is the perfect owner for that poor dog," Sally whispered to her self.

*~* When Jamie looked up at the clock it read 3:30. "Sally I better be getting home I told my daddy I would try to make it home about 4:00," Jamie said to Sally.

"Okay Jamie it was fun, I'll see you tomorrow at school!" Sally said waving to Jamie.

Jamie then walked out of the shelter and started home.

Meanwhile Landon was driving around when he saw Jamie walking home. He pulled over to her and rolled down his window. "Hey Jamie I'm on my way home, do you need a ride?" Landon asked.

"Thanks Landon that would be great," she said getting into the car.

"I do what I can," Landon said grinning.

Landon pulled out and started driving home when out of nowhere a deer wondered in to the road.

"Landon look out!" Jamie squealed.

Landon threw on the breaks and they jerked forward.

"Are you okay Jamie?" he asked looking over at her.

"I'm fine Landon are you okay?" Jamie asked him in return.

"Yeah I'm fine," he said starting out again. "Hey Jamie I was wondering are you still wanting to go to Lexi Foster's party Saturday?" Landon asked hoping she changed her mind.

"Yes but I still have to make sure it's okay with my daddy," she replied.

"Well then I'm still coming with you," Landon replied bluntly.

"Suit yourself Landon," Jamie said looking out the window.

Landon pulled infront of Jamie's house and let her out.

"Thanks for the ride Landon, good night," she said stepping out of the car.

"You very welcome Jamie," Landon replied watching her walk into the house.

'Why Jamie, why do you have to go to Lexi's party? Don't you know only bad can happen there' Landon thought to himself as he pulled into his own driveway.
