really? what next?

I jumped on the bus and sat next to Jake, my best friend. “Hey Carly. How was your weekend?” “It was fun. My dad bought me a puppy, you know to help me cope with what happened.” “Oh that’s cool. Mine wasn’t fun, I had to babysit my little brother and sister all weekend.” Jake said sounding bummed “That’s terrible, why?” I asked curiously. “My mom went on a buisness trip, so I had to stay home and babysit but their at my grandma’s now.” “My dad went on a buisness trip too, Wierd.” “Yeah.” Jake said. We rode in silence the rest of the way there. When we got off I went over to the rest of my friends and talked before we had to go to homeroom. The bell rang and I headed to homeroom. School was going like normal until I saw a familiar wagging tail running down the hallway. I chased after that tail. I followed her down the stairwell until she was stuck at the bottom of the door. I picked her up and walked to the office. “Excuse me.” I said,”My dog followed me to school today and I was hoping she could stay here.”
