I dunno..I'm braindead right now!! Lol!! I only own Roxanne and the other things I mention that nobody knows about so yeah!! Lol!!
****Roxanne's POV****
"Hi honey." I turned toward the door to see a beautiful figure smiling at me. It was my mom, and in my opinion she was a timeless beauty. Her hair was dark like mine but it was as straight as mine was curly, it was poker straight. She had big dough almond shaped eyes, and her skin was oddly pale. She looked like a porcelain doll with her bright red lip stick, dark eyes, dark hair, and pale skin. I didn't have pale skin, straight hair, or brown eyes, but my face features looked just like my mother's. My soft curls, blue eyes and tanned skin came from my father though. Well, my tanned skin might have actually came from living my whole life in California and being in the sun all the time considering my father wasn't very tanned either. Which that meant my tan would probably fade after I spent atleast 2 weeks in Tulsa if I didn't get out in the sun.
"Hey mom." I smiled. "How was work?" Before we had moved to Tulsa, my mom had made sure that she would have a job. And a job she had, indeed, she worked at my dad's lawyer firm. See, my dad had a lawyer firm in California as well, but a week before we moved to Tulsa he had got a job at a firm in Tulsa. That however, wasn't why we moved to Tulsa. Like I said before, my parents gave me no real reason other then the fact that my grandma, my dad's mom, lived here.
"It was ok. I liked having my own diner better, though." Back in California my mom had owned a diner, Pam's Diner, that' s what it was called. It belonged to my grandmother, my mom's mom, but she left it to my mom when she died. "Let me go get us some cokes and a snack and then we can talk." I smiled as my mom walked into the kitchen after laying her car keys down on the coffee table. Unlike most teenagers I liked talking to my mom; then again, unlike most moms my mother had me when she was fifteen. That could have been one reason why we were so close.
"So how was school?" My mom popped a chip in her mouth and ran a hand through her hair.
I shrugged. "Ok, I guess. I've had better days though." I thought for a moment and then continued. "The school has some seriously scary people." I was referring to half of the greasers that had made catcalls at me. "But I made some friends."
"With the greasers or the Socs?" My mom wondered protectively and my mouth dropped open. How did she already know about this Soc grease situation? I still barely understood it, and Cherry had told me that most grownups don't know anything about it. "Some high school boys thought I was a high school girl when I was at the supermarket and they started talking to me about it." Oh. So that was where she had heard it.
"Was it Socs or greasers talking to you?" I asked with a laugh.
"Soc." She nodded her head. "So did you make friends with Socs or greasers?" I rolled my eyes. Did it matter? I mean my mom was sitting here judging the so called greasers and she didn't even know what they were hardly. Yes, I know that the greasers are the rough ones, and I have a reason not to like them; they were making catcalls at me. But what was my mom's reason for disliking them?
"Socs, mom. You know though, they have names other then Socs." I took a drink of my soda. "Cherry, that's one of my friends, wanted me to try out for the cheerleading squad."
"Really?" My mom sounded excited. "Are you going to? You know, I was a cheerleader back in high school."
I shook my head. "I have too much stuff to do, I'm not trying out. Anyway, I'm gonna go up to my room and do my homework. Isn't that stupid, homework on my first day?" My mom just laughed at me and shooed me up the stairs.
Once in my room I opened my math book and got pulled into the dreaded world of geometry. I hated geometry, I hated math. It was my worst subject and the subject I needed the most help in. I always managed to get an A somehow or another but I wasn't quite sure how. If I didn't get an A my parents would kill me, not literally of course. They would have a fit though; According to them I had to get straight A's because they wanted me to be class Valedictorian. Don't get me wrong, it would be an honor to be the Valedictorian but sometimes my parents just pushed me to hard, and I didn't have the guts to tell them to stop pushing me.
Two hours laters I was still staring at my math book with only one problem left. A whole two hours and I had only got nineteen problems done. I just couldn't focus on my math, I needed to get out of the house. It was a Thursday night and I wasn't used to being in the house on Thursdays. Usually I had dance classes but tonight's class, that I had just enrolled in, had been cancelled due to the dance instructor's illness. Lucky for me the phone rang. Eager to get away from that one little problem I had left I leaped up out of my desk chair and grabbed the phone before either one of my parents could answer it.
It was Cherry and she wanted to know if I wanted to go to the local Dairy Queen with her and a couple of friends. I agreed and said I'd meet them there in twenty minutes. I glanced at myself in the mirror and realized that I couldn't go in my pajamas so I threw on a light pink knee-length skirt and a white button up shirt. That would do.
"Hey daddy, mommy." I ran down the steps and saw them both sitting on the couch in front of the fire. "Is it ok if I go out with a couple of my friends?"
"Did you finish your homework?" My dad wondered absentmindedly.
"Of course daddy. I always finish my homework before I go out, you know that?" I had. Right after I got dressed I had did that one lousy math problem.
"Be back before curfew then." I hugged my dad and said thanks and then walked out the door. I decided since it was dark I'd take the car instead of walking.
