See You Again




















I heard a loud scream and looked down the hallway at my school.  A woman was walking a very large grey dog, on a leash.  She had a Lifeline shirt on.  Multiple people ran at her and hustled her to the gym.  It was Career Day at my school.   I walked quickly down a back hallway, trying to get another look at that dog.  That big grey dog.  

The kids in the library started singing for our guests, the people that were there to talk about their jobs. 
 
"I'll tell you all about it when I see you again...." they sang, howling at the end of the song.

I wish I could see Lola again.  I wish I could tell her all about everything that has happened.  I don't believe in god, or afterlife, or rainbow bridge.  But, I would love to see her again and tell her about everything.  But I won't and it makes me cry like crazy.  

Alec has been out of town, because his mom has been sick. Temple and I picked him up last night from the airport and it felt really good.  

I went to the gym with one of my classes, even though I wasn't supposed to.  I petted the giant dog without even asking, which is crazy.  I felt its teeth on my hand at one point, and just pulled it away.  I still have welts.

"What kind of dog is this?"  I asked.
"A Curso,"  she answered.
"Is this your personal dog?"  I asked, looking at her animal control badge.
"Yes.  We got called because they were breeding her to death.  And I said, I'll take her."

The dog pushed against my leg and left spit all over my skirt.  But I didn't care.  I didn't care at all. 

*wiz khalifa, see you again
