Chapter 8

Toadstools

I gave an orange mushroom to Cooper like I'd promised and petted him. After a few minutes, I finally started to cool down, and realized the only reason I'd exploded was because of my hunger issues. I tended to have a little bit of a mood swing when I was hungry. I stomped outside and impatiently scooped up a mushroom, and stuffed it in my mouth. My eyes widened, and I could feel my skin turn white. I spit out the mushroom, only to see the purple little chewed up clumps. I felt myself getting weak. "Stupid little freaking mushr….." my sentence stopped, and I felt myself fall to the ground in front of my house. But, in the corner of my eye I saw something purple.

--Awake—

"Jasmine..?" said a familiar voice, the 'doctor's' voice. I grumbled something I was sure he wouldn't be able to understand from under the fluffy pillow I was laying on. "Are you conscious?" I sat up straight, and leaned away from him. "..What happened…?" I asked, lazily. I stretched and yawned. He chuckled and said, "You collapsed because you ate a purple mushroom, also known as a toadstool… a very poisonous mushroom…" I stared at him, "Whoops?" I smiled, shyly. He laughed, and continued, "Thankfully, this… kind young man picked you just in time…" he gestured over to a familiar face. Funny, I thought I'd seen some purple when I'd fainted. Oh well, I owed my life to Joe, and I was so thankful! "Joe! Thanks so much!!" I shouted. His back was to me, looking at some monitor. He jumped at my loud shouting. "Geez, Robin! You're going to wake up all the sick people… oh wait it's just you," he shrugged, "I guess that's what you get for living in a small town." I laughed. "Alright, Robin, I guess you can go home now! Cooper's waiting for you I think… He's been howling all night," said Alex. I jumped out of the doctor's bed, and clumsily slipped. Alex quickly threw his clipboard on the bed and caught me. "Gee, thanks doc', what would I do without you!" I said, clumsily getting up. He chuckled and I was sure I saw Joe eyeing him jealously. Alex said cheerfully, "My pleasure, Robin." I gave both Alex and Joe thank you hugs and was on my way out. "Thanks!" I called behind while I ran out of the clinic.

--Apology—

I knew Jamie had something to do with this mysterious mushroom thing. I went to his ranch, and saw Calvin. "Aww, you poor little doggie… are you hungry? Did the big scary meanie not give you anything to eat?" I asked him. He barked in response, and I gave him an orange mushroom. He ate it happily, and I picked him up. Next to me, I heard a sarcastic chuckle. I looked up, and Jamie was next to me, looking at me with curiosity. I stood up with Calvin in my arms; I had to look straight up too even see his face. "A big scary meanie, am I?" I flashed a crooked smirk, and nodded. "Calvin seems to agree with me." His jaw tightened at Calvin's nickname, and I chuckled. "Well, Calvin, was supposed to attack anyone who came onto my farm," his forehead crinkled, and he was annoyed, "Why are animals so drawn to you?!" he added, jealously. "I dunno," I shrugged, "But, trust me. You're a way better farmer than me…" I looked down, and then smiled up at him. He turned around and looked at the ground. "Idiot…" he murmured. I smiled, "Well, I'm sorry for yesterday…" I said, truthfully. "You have a bit of a temper don't you?" he said, and chuckled. "Yep, only when I'm hungry," I corrected, "Well, here's your jam… I'll see you around Jamie!" He shook his head, "You're such a moron…" he said, smirking. "Close enough to a compliment," I said, and shrugged. He looked down at me and actually smiled. It was amazing how cute he was when he smiled… I shook my head violently and said, "Wow, you actually smiled…" His smile vanished and red appeared on his cheeks and he turned away from me. "Leave, you annoying girl," he said. I knew he was joking, so I put down Calvin and hopped over his pretty little purple fence, chuckling.
