A Normal Day (At First)
by Taylor W.

“Every day we do the same thing Reyia! We need something new to do” I said.
“Yeah we really need something new. Doing the same thing over and over is getting really annoying!”
“So we do see eye to eye right?”
“Right!” Reyias bright blue eyes were staring at me, she has a huge toothy smile on her face. She looked so happy right now. Then everything went quite, evrything was as quiet as a mouse!
“Why are we being so quiet Tay?”
“I’m not sure actually. This is such a nice day, we’re sitting on a hammock outside drinking lemonade! How could this day be any better?”
“I can name 3 things that could make it better! 1. We could win a lot of money! 2. Summer could last forever, and 3. That this didnt have to be your last day in Oregon.”
“True those would make this day better. I like the last 1one best!”
“I think we all do!” She got a bit of sadness in her eyes when we started to talk about this being my last day here. This is a once every blue moon moment! I wish I wouldn’t have to leave, Oregon is the best place in the world!
“Hey what are we waiting for! It’s still early in the day and we can do what ever we want lets go see if anyones around Reyia!” I jumped off the hammock and ran to get my shoes, Reyia was right behind me. We grabbed our stuff and ran out the door and started running down the street.
Even thought its the dog days of summer we still love the hot weather in summer of Oregon. “Hey lets go see if Meagan's home! She probably will so lets hurry and run faster!” I said. Reyia was hurrying as fast as she could we were both in the pink, I love having someone just like me!
“OK, OK! I’m running as fast as I can Taylor!”
“Well then try harder Reyia!”
“Just cause you’re a fat cat doesn’t mean you have to boss me around!”
“STOP RUNNING! We’re here.”
Ding dong ding dong ding dong as the door bell rang.
“Hello girls. Meagan’s not home. I think she went to Monroe.”
“Ok, thanks”
“Reyia lets go I want to see Meagan befor I move!”
“Fine lets go!”
We ran all the way to Monroe and there was no sign of Meagan. I found her cell phone but that was all.
“Hey Rey-Rey Meagans cell has a new text”
“What does it say?”
“It says. Hey Meagan can you come over to my house I need to talk to you about the special thing that’s happening tonight! That’s what it says Rey”
“Oh, who’s it from?”
“Allison”
“Well we know one thing for sure. Meagan’s the better half of that pair!”
“Yeah I know! Well lets go to Allisons to find Meagan!”
“Ok. Can we walk this time?”
“Sure.”
The walk to Allisons was pretty boring. I felt like this was a moment where I was burning the bridges behind me. I hated this feeling!
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong went Allisons door bell.
“Oh hello Taylor, hello Reyia! Allison’s not here right now, her and Meagan left 20 minutes ago for the mall”
“Ok thanks a lot Miss. Calimei.”
I ran down the stairs and started running towards my house. When we got there the door was locked! I called my mom but she didn’t answer, I called my little brother and my dad too. They didn’t answer either!
“Where could everyone be?” I said in a very confused voice.
“I don’t know! How should I know! Uh... Taylor you look like your at the end of your rope right now. Are you ok?”
“Yeah I’m fine just burned myself out from all that running!”
“Ok what are we going to do now? We have no where to go!”
“I’m not sure lets just wait here for your mom”
“Ok”
Reyia and I just sat there, I was trying to pull myself together from what had ust happened with all the running. We both looked as sick as dogs since we were out of breathe.
“Maybe we should just call it a day Taylor.”
“I’m not sure right now what to do I want to know what’s going on.”
“Me too!”
Answer your cell! Answer your cell Taylor, come on pick up! I heard my cell ring.
“Reyia button your lip while I’m on the phone!”
“Hey mom. Where are you?”
“We just left Ammies house. She said her life’s like a dog eat dog world for her right now.”
“Ok well you sound like a cats got your tounge what’s wrong mom?”
“Oh nothing we will be home soon bye!”
Click.
“She was in a real hurry, oh well I will see her when she gets here”
