Chapter 9... Disclaimer- I do not own any characters so far except for Julia and Jack.

Author's Note: Sorry again that I have not written in a long time, my computer had a virus, again so I could not type much. Anyways as another, re-cap( Simon finds Cecilia waiting in a car while he's on the bus, reminiscing [thus, the title] about how he didn't have a car, and why he had to kiss Cecilia's friend, and get caught. I realize that I am switching from character to character, but I felt like everyone should get an equal chance. Please review or do something.

Therefore, that is it for now, now onto the story...

As Simon walked up the stairs, he spotted Ruthie, sitting on her bed. He ignored her and walked away. Meanwhile, Ruthie was putting her shiny silky brunette hair into a style, for church on Sunday. Ruthie was finally a teenager, and had a boyfriend, none other than Peter. Peter lived down the street with his mother, Paris, who of course went out with Chandler and broke up. But other than that, Ruthie was happy with Peter, well, most of the time. All the while, she was thinking about him while doing her hair, and picking out her clothes when the phone rang. Ruthie, realizing that no one else would pick it up, answered it.
"Hello. You have just won a free trip to Aruba! Three days and four nights in wonderful Aruba, free! Please call this numb-"Ruthie, annoyed, hung up the phone abruptly.
"Stupid advertisers, you always end up paying anyways..." Ruthie muttered.
Eric came in through her door to find out what the phone call was about, "Hey, Ruthie, what was that?"
"Oh, just some stupid advertisers saying that we won a free trip..."
"Oh, thanks honey. You are doing your hair in a different style? You really are a teenager."
"Yes, dad I'm all grown up thank you very much." Ruthie said, while reminiscing to her past first time of being a "woman."

Flashback

Ruthie was having an attitude problem, but from what? This could only be the result of one thing...12 years old, attitude that she never had, something that still had not occurred, her period. Ruthie remembers going out with her family to celebrate her new found 'womanhood' finding it an amazing thing...

End Flashback "Yes, Ruthie, you're right. And I should treat you like one, which means privacy. So I'll just leave you alone now, but dinner will be ready soon. It is about 6:30, and it will be done by 7. Okay?"
"Yes, dad. Bye."
"Bye, honey."
Ruthie went back to doing her hair, and still was thinking about a dozen things: her 'womanhood', Peter, and what she was going to do on Sunday...
[[So little things to do, so much time. Wait, reverse that... ]]
