My Retainer

I have an orange retainer. At lunch at school, there's an area where everyone dumps their trash, then that trash is taken out to the dumpster, which is right outside the lunch-room. Also, there's a thing that 4th -6th graders do which is called lunch duty. At Lunch Duty, you either serve the food, wash the tables, or do dishes. This time, me and my friend Katya were serving. When we were almost done, I noticed that my retainer wasn't in my mouth. I was like,
"OH crap." I told Katya, and she was like, "OHHH crap!" So right after we were done serving, me, her and this guy named Paul headed out to the dumpster. We figured out that the only thing we could do was to get in the dumpster, throw out the bags of trash, and search through it. So Paul was in the dumpster, I had the stick trying to dig through it, and Katya was looking also. And the worst part is is that there was mashed potatos and green beans for lunch. Finally after about five minutes of searching, we gave up, and went to recess.


While Katya and I were playing soccer, I said to her,

"Katya? I think we should go look to the dumpster one more time." So we started to run over near the lunch room. When we were almost there, I also spoke to Katya and said: I think we should say a prayer to help look for it. She first kind of looked at me weird, but I wasn't kidding. She wiped that look off her face, embarresed. Then I said it. After we were done, we finished walking to the dumpster. Then, we started diggin'. Suddenly, I had a feeling that I should go in the lunch-room. I had no clue why I should, but I did. When I went in there, I saw Mrs Pratt. Now Mrs. Pratt is pretty much the queen of the school. She does everything. She is a janitor, a lunch lady, and almost everything else. And when she saw me she said,

"Hi sweety!" (because she calls almost everyone sweety) And asked me if I needed anything. I told her that I had lost my retainer and that me and my friend were looking for it. She then ran outside as quick as that and said she would help us look for it. So she started just digging through the garbage with her hands while I looked over her shoulder and tried to look for it also. Then, guess what?? Guess what?? I spotted it!! Mrs. Pratt pulled it out, and it was dripping in mashed potatos. I was holding it laughing and screaming and jumping up and down. Same with Katya. The Mrs. Pratt told us to go to the office and disinfect it. At the office we made a mixture of Listerine, hand sanitizer, soap, and water. We scrubbed and scrubbed until it was squeeky clean. I put it in my mouth, and I felt good.
