Lindy the Turtle part5

"Ummmmm..........I don't know," said Lindy, "probably just hanging out at home."

"Oh, we should hang out then," said Betty.

"Okay, well I'll call you when i get home," said Lindy. Right then the bell rang. Everyone cheered, then scrambeled out f the classroom.

When Lindy got home that afternoon, she was kind of suspecious. When she walked up the driveway, she saw her dad's car sitting in the garage. Normally, her dad didn't get back until after she had gotten home. When she walked into the living room, she saw her mom and dad just sitting there. Lindy stopped dead in her tracks. Her mom told her to sit down because they had some news to tell her. Lindy sat in her favorite chair. Her dad addressed her, then said, "I'm just going to come out and say it. Lindy, we're moving."

Lindy was silent a moment thinking about what she had just heard. Then she said, "What was that,I don't think I heard you properly. You see, it sounded to me like you said we were moving, but that can't be right."

"Lindy, you heard us correctly," her mother said. Lindy just sat there, not moving, not talking, it didn't even look like she was breathing. She just sat there staring off into the distance, thinking. She finally stood up and started to walk away. She walked slowly to her bedroom, where she quietly closed the door, and plopped down on her bed.

I like the way you spelled scrambled. It should be added to the dictionary. Is Lindy a turtle or a human? I like your writing because it's not cookie cutter. Can turtles really plop?? Keep writing, and i'll keep reading your fabulous stories.
