The house is empty when I get home from school. Dad is still at work. It's usually always like this. He doesn't come home from work until the very late hours of the night. He thinks I'm asleep, but I stay up and wait for him.
My house keys my a jingling noise when I drop them on the table. I slide my backpack off my shoulder and head towards the fridge. It's filled with health food stuff, because of my dad. I don't exactly know what his job is, he has never told me, but it obviously involves health food.
I decided the hidden stash of Twinkies under my bed is a better choice, grab my backpack, and head upstairs.
My room is different when I open the door. The walls are brighter, and my bed has a colorful comforter on it. There is a carpet, white, and a TV. "What the..." I say, looking around. A note is taped to my mirror.
"Lyndee! Hey, sorry I can't be here all the time. I hope this pays up from it. I think this room screams you! Love, Dad."
The room screams something, that's for sure. I read the note over, feeling like screaming myself. Why does he do this? He does all this stuff to me, and then thinks he can make it up by redecorating my room? By buying me whatever I want. It's sickening.
I sigh, and drop my backpack on the fluffy, white, unwanted carpet. We don't have homework, seeing it was the first day of school, and only a half day.
What is there to do though? I my old town after school, if I had no homework, I would go to the local hangout. But, what was the local hangout here?
I look out the window in my new perfect bedroom, and decide I was going to look around.
Not to far from my house was the mall. I never used to actually like the mall, and would hardly ever go. I decided I was going to skip the mall this time, too, and kept walking.
A few kids were still at the school, hanging out on the steps. One of them, I recognized, was Sean Cameron, who is in my homeroom. I didn't really want to stay at the school any longer that I actually had to, so I just smiled and kept walking.
I walk to the Dot, and go in, because I see Craig's head. "Hey, Lyndee!" He says when I walk in. I smile and try to say high. Spinner and Marco are sitting with him.
I have to walk past their table to sit down anywhere. When I do walk past, accidentally, I trip over Marco's foot.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, are you okay?" He asks as I sit up.
"Extremely embarrassed..." I mutter.
They laugh, and Craig helps me up. "Whatcha doing?" He asks.
I dunno. What am I doing?
Not wanting to sound like a complete idiot I mutter "I was bored." My arm hurts, from the fall.
I had landed on one of my bruises. Even though it was really hot in the Dot (a/n: Hot in the Dot. I just rhymed!) I still didn't want to take my sweater off.
A blonde girl comes in and brushes past me, sitting down next to Spinner. "Hey Paige!" Marco says. She smiles at him and Craig before going into a long conversation with Spinner.
"You know," Craig says, looking up at me, "You can sit down."
Paige stops and looks at me. I don't know why, but she scares me. I sit on the edge of the seat and listen to the blurred conversations.
