My parents had to go back to China for a report for our local newspaper. Which for I wasn't surprised. My parents love China. The music, the style, the culture, ect. They loved it so much that when mamma found out she couldn't have a baby, there was no hesitation that they were gonna adopt a baby girl from China. My parents told me I was going to stay with some of their friends from work...Mr. and Mrs. Barnes and there 18 year old son John. I hope they like dogs. Cause if you think I'll leave my baby dog alone for even a day your so wrong. I have an Akita dog named Kolo and he is my baby til the end of the earth. While mamma stayed in the car baba helped me with my loguage. We walked up the front step of Mr. & Mrs. Barnes house. Lets just say very large and very fancy. "Great! rich people" I muttered. My father shot me a dirty look. As my father ran the door bell Kolo laid down on the concrete step. I bent down and pat his head. I heard the door click and open. As my eyes slowly slid up my eyes met a midled age man and woman. The man's blakc hair was fading with a few gray hairs. The woman still had hair long dark brown hair. "You must be Lee!" she said giving me a warm hug. "Oh Tod you never told me how beautiful your daughter was" She said releasing me. Baba laughed as he set my loguage down on the front step. "Hi I'm Lee" I said reaching my hand out to Mr. and Mrs. Barnes. "Why Tod what a lovely young lady" Mr. Barnes said shaking my hand. Suddnely Kolo went out of control and ran into the house pulling me with him. "Kolo Stop!" I yelled. The leash came out of my grip causing me to stumble forwards.

As I got prepared for the fall two strong arms came in tack with me and pulled me up so that I came in tack with a very musculine chest. I slowly lifted my head to the face I'd never forget. The boy had perfect blue-grey eyes framed by black square glasses. He had dark curly brown hair and tanned skin. I tried as hard as possiable to fight the blush that made it's way to my cheeks. I tucked a strnad of my black hair behind my ear. "Well that was a close one... Lucky I was here to catch you!" He said. My stomach instantly got flutterly. I forced a smile to my face. "Why why thankyou" I said. He smiled when I heard a whimper. I turned my head to find Kolo Sitting down watching me and the boy. "Well Who's this?" he asked his eyes motioning to the dog. "Oh" I said getting out of the youngs boy grip walking over to Kolo. "This is Kolo my Dog" I said. He nodded petting Kolo on his head. Kolo licked his hand while Baba Mr. & Mrs. Barnes came in with a wide grin on their face. "Well Lee It looks like you've already met my son John" Mrs. Barnes said. I turned around and smiled sheepishly. "Uhh Yeah..." I said We heard a beep and Baba looked annoyed. As he glanced at his watch a shocked expression crossed his face. "Well I gotta to go if I want to catch that Plane!' He said quickly giving me a kiss on the cheek before running out the door. "Well John why don't you take Lee's things to her room and show her around" Mr. Barnes said. I picked up Kolo's leash off the ground and followed John Up the stairs with my loguage in hand. AS we came down the third hallway and the 20th door he opened the door and walked in. "I hope you don't mid the size it's a little small" He said but the thing was the room was not small. It was gigantic probably nine times the size of my rooms. "Small? Small? This room is Huge!" I told him. He just laughed.
