Lauren woke up to the sound of knocking on the door Saturday morning.
Lillian, Lauren's mom, asked: "Honey, are you awake?'"
Lauren replied: "Yes mom I am now. You can open the door."
Lillian open the door said: "Lauren you should really consider getting up it's almost 11. I'm on my way out, I have plans for lunch. Lauren looked at her mom sleepily. Her mom was wearing a very pale pink top and Lauren didn't think her mom ever wore pastels. It was actually a really flattering shade.
Lauren asked: "Is that a new top?"
Her mom replied: "Yes, it is." Then she asked: "Do you like it?"
Lauren answered: "Yes."
Lillian said: "It's a beautiful day, go outside and do something."
Lauren wished her mom would just stop telling her what to do all the time.
Lauren said: "I probably will."
Lauren got up, put on her sweatpants, her sneakers, and a hoodie. She decided to go outside and take a walk, when she got outside, she sees her neighbor from across the street pacing up and down frantically.
Lauren inquires: "Hi Julie, did Charlie take off again?"
"Yes," replied Julie "Would you mind looking for him?"
Lauren replied: "I will look for him, no problem."
Lauren went off looking for Charlie. He was a little brown dog, and no one knew what breed he was. Somehow, he always seemed to get out of the house, or he was always getting off his leash. It wasn't the first time Lauren had walked around the neighborhood looking for him. She had gone quite far down the road, further than she was used to going. She came to a little brown house with the most beautiful red roses she'd ever seen growing in front. Then she noticed Charlie running into the back yard. She rang the doorbell of the house several times, but nobody came, so she ran around into the backyard.
"Charlie!" She called after him and he ran and circled around her.
She saw dandelions on the ground near the dog and decided to pick one. Then she noticed one of the dandelions was white and decided to blow the seeds like she did when she was a little girl. The back door opened, and someone came out of the house shouting: "What are you doing in my yard!"
Lauren replied: "My neighbor's dog got loose and I'm trying to get him out of your yard."
Charlie ran over to the person who had been shouting at her, he was wearing black sweatpants and boots and a black sweatshirt that covered him up completely. Especially with the hood pulled all the way over his face so as much of it was covered as possible, and he had his hands in his pockets. Puck looked down at the dog and he started to pet him, then he said: "Why are you picking my flowers? Do not pick my flowers."
Lauren said: "Because they're dandelions everyone picks them."
Lauren look at the hand that was petting Charlie with was covered in fur, a bit too much like the dog he was petting. She looked up at his head closely and she could see some of his face and let out a terrified scream!
He said: "Please stop screaming, I'm cursed."
Lauren said: "You can't be cursed; curses are not real."
Puck responded: "Curses must be real because I am cursed." Then Puck realized he knew he, "You're Lauren and you're in my history class, and you were in my history class last year to. I'm Puck."
Lauren asked: "Your Noah Puckerman?'
Lauren picked up Charlie and she was glad that Charlie was such a little dog. She has no trouble carrying him she took a step backwards and said: "Well, time for me to go home now."
Puck said: "Don't go running away because scared you're of me."
Lauren responded: "I'm not scared of you; I have to get Charlie back to his owner."
Puck said: "You wouldn't be in such a hurry to leave if you weren't scared, and if I were still hot you wouldn't be running away from me."
Lauren said: "No I just have to get home, I'm not scared."
Puck said: "Prove it, come back tomorrow."
Lauren said: "I'm busy tomorrow and why would I come back anyway?"
Puck responded: "I knew you were too scared of me to come back tomorrow; I miss being hot."
Lauren said: "I'm not scared of you; I will come back tomorrow."
Lauren walked towards the road very quickly at first but before she got out of Noah's site, she turned around holding Charlie with one arm wrapped around him and waved at Puck with the other, then she yelled: "See you tomorrow Puck!"
Puck responded: "See you tomorrow, if you don't chicken out."
