Chapter 1: grumpy grumpy grumpy.
July woke up. “I’m grumpy.” She said to herself.
The therapy hadn’t stuck.
She stomped down the stairs.
“good morning sunshine!” Cinnamon said. “care for some cereal?”
She showed her the bowl. July grabbed it out of her hands, spilling milk on the floor in the process. “I’m grumpy.” She said. “well I can see that!” said Cinnamon. “now, can you clean off the table for me? It’s a mess, and we have to eat breakfast soon.” July scowled. Sometimes she thought Cinnamon was worse than a P&P.
That’s Pretty And Pink. “I’M NOT CLEANING NO STUPID TABLE!” Cinnamon looked Surprised at her, than angry. “get out of this house!” she said. “I don’t care where you go, just DON’T come back until you stop acting like that! Some of us are younger than others you know, and shouldn’t be learning thins like THAT attitude.” July looked at her friend Spot, He was at least six years old, and July knew he shouldn’t have heard her tantrum,
But she didn’t want to admit it. “fine!” she said, and stomped out the door. She went over to her friend Sarah’s house, about ten blocks away from hers. After about an hour, they were listening to music when they saw a bright light. They looked out the window and saw flames! Sarah said, “hey, it looks like It’s coming from your house!” but July was already rushing out the door.
When she got to her house, it was in flames! “How did this happen!” she shouted. “there was a gas leak in the stove while I cooked breakfast! I had taken the fire alarms out like I always do while I cook so the engine didn’t come!” July looked at everyone. “wait a minute.” She said. “where’s Spot?” Cinnamon pointed to their house. July gasped. Without thinking, she ran in! she searched and searched through the collapsing house, the intense heat almost melting her! Then she heard whimpering. It was coming from upstairs! She ran up, avoiding flying sparks, and collapsed beams. She found Spot hiding under the bed. “lets go!” she shouted. Spot was about to run through the door, but July stopped him. “safety first.” She said. She felt the door. She pulled her hand away quickly. She hadn’t even touched the doorknob, yet she was Noticeably burned! “we can’t get out that way! She said. Then she heard shouting! She could see out the window, that Cinnamon had called the fire department, and they were down on the ground, holding a trampoline! “out the window!” she shouted to Spot. He jumped out first, landing perfectly on the trampoline. July hesitated. The firemen were shouting for her to jump, but she couldn’t hear a thing. Suddenly, she snapped into her senses, as the ceiling started to collapse!
She took a deep breath, and jumped!
She missed the trampoline.
Chapter two: in the hospital.
Cinnamon went in. there was July, laying in the hospital bed. “hello?” she said. July turned away. “don’t look at me.” “I’ll look at you if I want to!” Cinnamon said. “you were very brave July.” July looked at her. “when you ran into that building just to save Spot, all I could think was, ‘that can’t be July.’” “that’s what I was thinking too.” July said. “how’s Spot?” she said, worried for the charming six year old. “he’s being treated for his burns right now. They’re only second degree, and nothing as bad as…” she gestured to July’s casts. “the house is destroyed, but it can be rebuilt.” She said. “Spot, now he’s something you can’t replace. Oh, and he sent you this;” she showed July a card. July couldn’t hold it because of the casts, but she could still read despite an eye patch on her left eye. DEAR JULY it said in childish writing. THANK YOU FOR RESCUING ME. LOVE SPOT. Under that, it had a drawing of him and July, holding hands. It wasn’t exactly the best art in the world, but to July right now, it belonged in a museum.
“you were very brave July.” Cinnamon said again, smiling.
July smiled. “thanks. I’d hug you, but…” she looked up at the braces supporting her arms. They both laughed hysterically. They were best friends again. Just like old times.
The end.
