Zola gets her present early. Her dad.

Chapter 2

The next morning Zola woke up to the smell of smoky bacon and sweet pancakes. She looked over at her pink fury clock and saw the time.

"7:00 a.m." whispered Zola to herself.

She was still tired, but the food smelled delicious, so she got up to get dressed. She walked into the bathroom to brush her long brown hair and brush her teeth. Once finished, she walked back to her room to pick out some clothes to wear for the day. Because it was Christmas Eve, she tried to find something festive. She grabbed a nice red dress out of her closet and found some white leggings in her dresser. She also found a pair of Christmas socks to go along with her outfit

She then walked downstairs to eat breakfast. As she walked through the kitchen door all the smells of the great breakfast went past her. She quickly sat down at the table and began to eat.

"Slow down or you might choke." said Meredith.

Zola couldn't slow down. She was too excited to go and finish her painting. She walked into the craft room and sat down at the table. She grabbed her brush and began to paint. Once she finished her painting, she went in the kitchen to eat lunch.

"Mom!" Zola said. "What can I eat for lunch?"

Zola's mother walked swiftly into the kitchen.

"Well let's just see what we can find." replied Meredith

Zola walked over to the table and sat down. Her mother soon came with a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, with some potatoes. Zola quietly ate her lunch and then put her dishes from lunch away. She then went into the dining room to watch some more TV. After while Meredith went up to her room to grab a book to read. When she came back down there was a guy standing at the bottom of the stairs with her back to her. The closer she got the more she realized who it was. She ran the rest of the way down the stairs.

"DAD!" Zola scream.

Tears running down her face. She could not believe he was in front of her.

"I missed you so much, Zola!" said her dad.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you that he was coming home. I thought it would be a great Christmas present for you! He wasn't supposed to get her till tomorrow, but he must have got in early." said Meredith.

"That is correct and I couldn't be happier!" said Zola's dad.

All wrapped in each other arms, laughing and crying together. Zola peaks her head out of the middle.

"This is the best Christmas ever!"
