A Kitten Named Mittens
Oh my gosh!
Kara Wyatt rolled over on her back on the grass and giggled as a tiny black-and-white kitten crawled up her shoulder. Taylor, Mittens is soooo cute!
Taylor Kent laughed as her new kitten batted a tiny white paw at Kara’s wavy red hair. I know,
she said. I can’t believe my parents actually let me get her!
Be careful,
Emily McDougal warned as Mittens jumped down and sniffed at a dandelion in the grass. Don’t let her wander too far. We don’t want her to get lost outside.
Jo Sanchez reached over to pet Mittens. Don’t worry, Em. I don’t think she can run very fast on her tiny little legs. Besides, how far could she wander with all four of us staring at her?
She giggled, then sighed. I guess I’m the only member of the Sleepover Squad without a pet now.
Taylor, Jo, Emily, and Kara had formed a club called the Sleepover Squad. They took turns hosting sleepovers at each of their houses as often as they could.
But today the girls weren’t having a sleepover. They had all gathered in Taylor’s backyard to play with her new kitten. Mittens had only been a member of the Kent family for a little over a day. Taylor had always wanted to have a pet, but up until now her parents had always said no. She’d had to settle for playing with Kara’s dog, Chester, or Emily’s cat, Mi-Mo.
But now Taylor’s parents had finally decided she was responsible enough to help take care of a pet. They had taken Taylor to the animal shelter, where she had picked out Mittens. Mittens was going to be an indoor cat, but it was such a nice spring day that the girls had decided to take her outside for a while to play in the Kents’ square, grassy backyard.
Taylor reached over and tickled Mittens under the chin. The kitten started to purr loudly. Just then there was a sudden loud shout from the yard next door. Mittens jumped and stopped purring, her eyes wide and her nose twitching.
Who was that?
Kara asked in surprise, looking over toward the next yard to see who had made the noise.
Taylor made a face. She and her parents lived in town, which meant the houses were fairly close together. Normally, she liked being close to their neighbors on each side. But over the past few days, that had changed—at least when it came to one particular neighbor.
Ugh.
She picked up Mittens to let the kitten know she shouldn’t be scared. I forgot to tell you guys. That’s Stan.
Who?
Emily looked confused. I thought Mr. and Mrs. Sampson lived over there. Is Stan their grandson or something?
Taylor shook her head. The Sampsons moved out a couple of weeks ago,
she explained. They went to live in Florida. The new owners are the Martins. They have a son named Stan who’s our age.
Really? That’s cool.
Jo tucked her dark hair behind her ear and shrugged. You always complain about how there’s no one our age on this block.
"No, it’s not cool, Taylor corrected with a shudder.
Stan’s family only moved in this past Friday. But I can already tell that he’s totally obnoxious!"
Just then a boy came into view beyond the tidy hedge that separated the two yards. He was about Taylor’s height, with messy brown hair and round cheeks.
Taylor wished they’d decided to stay inside
