"Jenny, can you come down for a second?" Said Jenny's mother rather quietly
but loud enough for her to hear from her upstairs bed room. "Yeah, Mom just
a sec!" Jenny yelled down. She quickly clicked off her TV and jumped of her
bed and headed downstairs. As she marched down the stairs she said, "Yeah,
Mom?" A rather short blonde woman turned around from talking to her
husband, "Oh, just wanted to tell you dinner is going to be ready in a few
minutes." Jenny rolled her eyes and tipped her head back and sighed. She
turned around and placed a foot on the stairs and a hand on the banister.
"Jenny, don't roll your eyes at your mother" Her mother looked at him,
"Riley, just let her be." She said, "But Sweetie she shouldn't be
disrespecting you when you speak to her." Said her father Riley in a quiet
but deep voice. Jenny and her mother sighed in unison. Jenny went up the
stairs to her room and her mother walked away from the kitchen island
towards the sink to wash dishes from last night. Jenny walked into her room
and sighed pacing her room for a few seconds. She smiled to herself and
grabbed her back back and made her way to her window. She flipped the lock
and pushed it open as quietly as possible. First she swung her right leg
over then her left so she was sitting on the window sill. She jumped to the
tree and climbed down it. Jenny sighed with relief and started walking
towards Sunny Dale High School. Her feet made a soft thud across the cement
side walks of the quant subdivision. Her soft blonde hair bounced around
her upper arms as she walked, while her clear blue eyes stared at her
shoes. Jenny could see the high school in front of her but stopped because
she heard someone mimicking her footsteps behind her. The footsteps stopped
as she stopped, "Hey, who's there?" she said not the least bit shaken. A
masculine laugh sounded behind her and she quickly turned around. She found
blazing deep brown eyes staring into hers as she stared at the tall and
handsome young man in front of her. "What do you want?" Jenny said softly
while twisting her hands around the straps of her back pack. He sighed
lightly as he looked her up and down, "I thought you would be taller." He
said softly, "There getting careless these days, but who knows." Jenny
watched him, "What are you talking about?" She said quite scared now, "Like
mother like daughter." And he turned around to walk away. "Will you tell me
your name?" She asked softly. "Angel." He said with a slightly pained voice
as if the name brought pain to him. He sighed once more and walked away.
Jenny rocked herself on her feet softly as she watched him walk away with
her head tilted like a curious puppy. She broke out of daze and she lifted
her eyes to the school in front of her. "I think I'll be going home now."
She said quietly to herself and turned around to walk home.
