Chapter Two ;
Inseperable
After her shower, Dani blow dried her hair a bit and let the rest dry on its own. She went into her bedroom and sat at her little dresser that was in her room. It was the same pink that her shelf and desk were, which matched the curtains and the bed. The bed and curtains were blue with pink and purple butterflies.
Dani picked up her eyeliner crayon and outlined her eyes in a thin black line, then she put on mascara. She picked up her eyeliner crayon again and drew a small butterfly beside her left eye. Looking straight at her the butterfly was to the right of her eye, and slightly below it. She looked at herself in the mirror, she was wearing a white and black striped tee, which had black mesh sleeves, and a black jagged-edged skirt that went to her knees.
Dani walked out of her room as the phone rang. She walked back to the phone that was on her desk and answered it. It was Adam.
"Hi," Dani said into the phone. Sara appeared in Dani's bedroom doorway and Dani mouthed that it was Adam.
"Guess what?!" Adam asked, sounded overly excited.
"What?" Dani asked, even more excited.
"After lots of begging and pleading and debating, I got my Mom to enroll me to Butterfield Academy!" Adam said extremely quickly into the phone.
Butterfield Academy was the school that Dani was going to in September, she had thought that it would separate Adam and her since they'd be going to different schools, she was officially wrong. They would both be starting grade 9. Dani had skipped grade 4, and Adam was a year older than her.
"I can't believe it!" Dani almost screamed into the phone, completely forgetting that Grissom was in the next room, sleeping. Sara appeared in Dani's doorway again.
"Dani, Grissom's sleeping," Sara whispered.
"Hold on, I'm going to tell Sara," Dani said quietly and turned to Sara. "Adam's going to Butterfield Academy!" Sara smiled, those two can manage anything.
"That's great!" Sara said, then left the room as Dani went back to talking with Adam.
After about a half an hour, Dani hung up the phone and left her bedroom. She curled up into a small but comfy chair in the corner of the apartment that was the living room. She stared out at the city of Las Vegas. The sun was shining on her face, making her green eyes almost look like they were glowing to Sara, who watched Dani from the kitchen.
Dani stared out, what she could see from the apartment window always amazed her. She loved heights, she liked being at high levels. She loved looking over the world. It gave her some sort of relief that she had some power over everything. In her life, everything had either been decided by someone else, or caused by someone else.
Sara was standing in the kitchen, wiping a counter, she had stopped cleaning when Dani came out of her bedroom to see what she would do, to watch her, to analyze her. Sara wasn't surprised at the fact that Dani seemed to almost always be insecure, and the little girl hid it very well, the only reason that Sara could see it was because she had looked in the mirror at it every day.
Without moving a muscle, Dani asked Sara, "Could you stop watching me, please?"
Sara quickly turned around and faced the fridge. She turned back around slowly to see Dani staring at her. Sara sighed, "Sorry, I didn't know you knew I was looking at you."
Dani gave out a little laugh at the seemingly obvious confusion of the sentence. She returned to her position of staring out the window.
"Any plans today?" Sara asked after a few minutes of complete silence.
Dani shrugged. "I don't know, I'll probably do something with Adam," she answered.
Sara smirked. "Who else would you hang out with," she said. Dani laughed. Adam was pretty much Dani's only friend. They hung out with each other almost every day. Neither of them ever hung out with anyone else their age, and Dani liked it that way.
