Lacey chapter 1 by lexi garduno (primary phonics books TXT) 📕

say as I shrug my shoulders and grab the Hello Kitty purse and throw my penguin tote bag on my bed.
It hits Lacey in the arm, “Hey!”
I skip down the hall, “Hey is for horses, darling,” I say as I turn to her and grab the stair railing. I run down the steps with Lacey following me from behind, smiling and trudging down the steps.
As soon as I hit the bottom step, my older brother, Alan, bonks me in the head, I bonk him back. “What’s up,” I say.
“Nothin’ much. Ready for school? I am so siked to see Jamie again.”
“Aw. You do really like her don’t you,” I say as Lacey hits the last step and smiles at Alan.
“Hey, Lacey,” He says as he flashes a smile at Lacey and turns back to me, “And yep, I really like her,” He says as he walks away into the kitchen.
We walk into the foyer. I look at Lacey, she gives me one of those looks that say, “Awwww.”
“What’s wrong?” I study her face a little bit longer. She moves her eyes toward the kitchen. My brother sits there head banging to his music, and biting into a muffin. “Oh. It’s okay,” I say as I grab her hand and skip to the door, “We’ll find you a boyfriend.” I open the door and walk out with Lacey as she smiles.
“I guess, I will find more fishies at school.”
I turn to her and flash her a grin, “Now that’s more like it.” I pull Lacey to the car and escort her inside, “My lady.” Lacey laughs and I hop in the car next to her. Imprint
