Love <3 By Mogan za Kenshi

I had never been one for company; I preferred it alone in my room. Drawing, reading or staring at my paws. I had never thought I would ever fall into a relationship with someone, ever. But it happened. And it caught me by complete surprise.

It was a normal day. Everyone was getting on with their day peacefully, quietly and keeping out of my way. This was just the way I liked it; no one bothering me at all. Just me, myself and I, as they say.

"Katie, breakfast!"

I heard my Mother calling me down. I sighed as I slumped out of my bed. I got my gown on and walked out my room, yawning. I felt something painful as I shut the door and yowled in pain, I had shut my tail in the door.

"Are you okay up there?" Mother called to me.

"I'm fine" I lied, my tail was in throbbing pain. I tried to ignore it as I continued downstairs to get my breakfast.

I had been made cereal, again. The same cereal I have eaten every day for the past year or so. I sighed and thought to myself 'nothing changes here does it?' I tucked into my cereal and mumbled to myself, my tail was still throbbing. I notice Mother's look change dramatically.

"What's wrong?" I asked, confused.

"What happened to your tail? It's bleeding!" Mother cried out. I swung my tail to in front of me and sure enough it was bleeding, a small bit. It wasn't anything to care about but Mother came over and checked it over anyway.

"Mum, its fine! All I did was catch it on- Ouch!" I cried out as Mother squeezed it a little "what was that for?" I shot Mother a look of evil.

"It's swollen, we need to get it checked."

"But-" I stopped myself as I realised this would mean a day off of school "fine." I sighed.

I went upstairs and hopped in the shower, my tail stung like crazy so I wasn't able to relax at all. I got out and checked my tail again.

"Great, still bleeding." I said to myself. I wandered into my bedroom to get ready. I was questioning myself on how I had managed to shut my own tail in the door, I felt like a complete idiot and laughed at myself.

I heard mother pestering me to get ready as usual, I was just like most women. I take forever to get ready, or so the stereotype suggests. I trotted downstairs to meet mother who was waiting impatiently as per usual.

"There's no rush Mum." I sighed. She stood there tapping her foot.

"The appointment is at twelve o' clock Katie! We will be late if you are this slow on the way there!" She hissed at me. I looked at the clock, it was nine thirty and it only took half an hour to walk the doctors.

"How many miles is the doctors you want to go to?" I said sarcastically. Mum huffed and walked out the door. I rolled my eyes and quickly ran upstairs, I had forgotten my book. I always carried a book. What? You think if I go outside I'm going to talk to people? I don't even talk to people at school, let alone public.

Mum was waiting outside for me, still in a hurry to get to Australia and back in case we were late. I laughed at my little joke then realized that it wasn't really that good. I seem to do that a lot, maybe because I'm a loner. I don't know. But we carried on walking towards the doctors, I tried to entertain myself but it wasn't very easy. I tried eye spy with myself which was even harder.

As I was looking for something to spot I noticed someone across the road from me. I don't know why but there was something about them that interested me, they seemed to be about my age and I was wondering why they were not at school. They looked over at me, and for some reason the first instinct I had was to look away, as fast as I could. I'm not sure why I did this; I just didn't want him to see my face. Luckily my hair prevented them from seeing.

We reached the doctors and I looked at the time, ten o'clock. Great, I thought. Two whole hours of nothingness. This is the reason I brought along my book- I looked in my hands to see there was nothing there. I had dropped my book! I told Mum to let me go find it but she made me sit down.

"No!" She growled at me "we will be late otherwise!" I sat down and huffed. I heard Mum say something under her breath so I turned my back to her and tried to stay calm.

Time ticked by and I grew ever bored. I looked at the clock, ten fifteen. It seemed like I had been there forever. I looked over to the desk and I noticed something. It was the same person I had seen in the town on the way here. I frowned and tried to work out what he was doing here. Then I noticed something else, he was holding something. My book!

I was about to get up and say something, which is completely abnormal for me to do. But I stopped myself as he turned around. I saw that he was definitely my age, roughly. He was a young Dalmatian, and I never thought I would say this but I wanted to talk to him... I immediately blushed as I noticed him smiling at me. I turned away and pretended to be occupied with something, like looking at the plant. I know it wasn't a very good thing to do... The he started to walk over to me.

"Are you..." He looked in the book, it had my name in it "...Katie?" I looked at him, blushing like hell that this boy just walked over to me and started talking. I know it was a good thing to return my property, but I would have preferred it if he just... I don't know, put it through my post box. Now I had to talk to someone, that for some reason I liked.

"Uh, yes." I stuttered. I took the book from his paw and thanked him. He then walked out of the doctors as if nothing had happened. I thought to myself but couldn't work out what to think. I looked around and saw Mum laughing, she obviously knew more than I did.

"Shut up!" I hissed, still blushing. I looked away from here and read my book. Inside was a message and it read.

'I see you in school. I hope we can be friends.' Now I know this is a little cliché, but I didn't know this person in any way; heck, not even his name. Then I see him out of school and he follows me and gives me my book with this in it?

This whole book thing was driving me crazy overnight so I decided to look for this mystery person. When the lunch time bell went off I set off to find the Dalmatian. He wasn't in any of my classed so he must see me at lunch. I did my usual of sitting down and reading, he had to sit somewhere near me if he notices me daily. I was only pretending to read; really I was scouting out the area. Like a spy following its target or whatever they do.

But what happened next completely took me by surprise. He came and sat down, not near me. But next to me! As if we were best friends he came over and starting talking.

"Hello!" He said cheerfully. "Did you read what I put in your book?" I looked at his innocent face, it looked brilliant for scratching right now but I held myself back.

"Uh, yes I did." I said stubbornly "thank you for vandalising my property." He didn't get affected by this comment how I had hoped. Instead he laughed as if it was a joke. It wasn't. I hissed a little at him and I heard him make a small whining sound. I looked at him and felt a slight guilt for scaring him. "Sorry." I mewed. He smiled again as if it had never happened, I still wanted to scratch him.

"What happened to your tail?" He said, looking at it as if it wasn't there at all. The doctor had given me painkillers. My tail was fine but at least I still got that day off school, in which all I did was question my existence as usual. Not very exciting.

"I, shut it in the door." I murmured.

"How did you do that?"

"Well. As I closed the door my tail got caught in it!" I snapped, sarcastically. All he did was laugh again. I was beginning to hate him, but also enjoy his company at the same time. Then I realised.

I was feeling love!

Hope you enjoyed this! It's my first story and if you would like I can write a part 2. It would be awesome if you could suggest names for the Dalmatian and maybe some ideas. Would love feedback to know what you think.
