Chapter 8

Hailey had been at home the last two days as it was the weekend. She was lounging on the couch watching the TV, when her mom came in the door carrying some shopping bags. "Hailey hunny, could you go get a bag for me out of the car?" Her mom asked while putting some food into the pantry. "Yeah, sure mom." She replied and walked out to the car. She grabbed a few bags when she saw her next door neighbor Vicky out the front. "Hi, Vicky!" Hailey called out to her. "Oh, Hey Hailey, do you wanna come over for a while?" She asked. "Yeah, of course I'll just go put these bags inside and tell my mom and I'll be right over." She replied. "Ok" Vicky said and walked back into her house. "Mom I'm gonna go over to Vicky's for awhile" Hailey said. "Ok hunny." Her mom replied taking the bag from her. Hailey smiled and walked out the house towards Vicky.

She knocked on the door. "Come on in!" Vicky called out. Hailey opened the door and went inside. Vicky came up to her and gave Hailey a hug. Hailey Smiled back. She liked Vicky, she was like a big sister. Vicky was 21 years old, with shoulder length brown hair with a big smile. She also had a 12-month old son named Zack. She got married last year to her husband Tom and had moved next door to Hailey about 6 months ago. "Where's Zack?" Hailey asked sitting down next to Vicky. "He's asleep." She replied. "Oh ok" Hailey answered. "So, how have you been? Got a boyfriend or anything?" Vicky asked. "I've been ok, and no I haven't got a boyfriend yet, dad still thinks I'm a bit young." Hailey replied. "Oh, my dad was like that too, don't worry he'll get over it." Vicky laughed back. "Yeah, probably." Hailey laughed too. "So, I heard you got a new job?" Vicky said. "Yeah, it's not really a job though." Hailey replied. "Oh, then what is it?" Vicky asked. "It's a way out of getting suspended." Hailey explained. "Oh really?" Vicky said with raised eyebrows. "Yeah." Hailey sighed. "What did ya do to be working then?" Vicky asked. "I tried to get Michelle and Courtney expelled by writing a fake letter to the principal, but someone saw me and I was busted." Hailey explained. "Oh, well what about those sluts then?" Vicky asked. She knew what Michelle and Courtney had did to Hailey and didn't like them one bit. "They got suspended." Hailey laughed. "Well that's good then." Vicky laughed with her. "You didn't tell your mom about that did you?" She asked again. "No" Hailey said quietly. "She also thinks I got a part time job and that I'm working at the diner." Hailey explained. "Really, then were do you work then?" Vicky asked. "At the Biker Bar." Hailey said quietly. "Oh, so I couldn't really ask if there were any hot guys there could I?" She laughed. "No, not really, well maybe if you like old biker guys" Hailey laughed. "Err no, not really." Vicky said. "But there're nice to me though." Hailey explained. "Well that's good then." Vicky said. Hailey thought of telling Vicky about Mark but decided not to, he was ok looking, but he didn't like her and he was way too old for her she thought. Her and Vicky talked for a couple more hours then Hailey decided it was time to go back home. "Well Hail's I'll see ya real soon!" Vicky called out from the door. "Yeah, you too! Vicky you won't tell my mom about my whole job thing?" Hailey asked. "No, don't worry, I won't!" She replied back. "Ok, Bye!" Hailey said and walked back into her own house.

"How is Vicky Hailey?" Her dad asked setting Dinner on the table. "Yeah, she's good." Hailey replied. "Come sit down sweetie." Her mom said, walking into the kitchen. Hailey sat down and started eating her dinner. Her brother Jason sat down and started eating while playing with his game boy. "Jason, give that to me please." Her mom said while sitting down. "So Hailey, what were you talking about over there?" Her dad asked. "Ur not much, the usual." Hailey explained while taking a sip of her drink. 'The Usual?" Her dad asked confused. "You know Kirk, clothes, music and boys." Her mom said. "Oh yes, Hunny remember that I think your still a little too young for boys though?" Her dad asked. "Yes, I remember." Hailey said. "Good, you have your whole life to worry about boys." Her dad said. Hailey nodded. "Mom, may I be excused?" Hailey asked after finishing her tea. "Yes dear, go have a shower." Her mom answered. Hailey walked up the stairs to the bathroom. She hopped into the shower and turned the water up real hot. She knew a lot of people hated having real hot showers, but she loved it. Often when she came home upset from school, she'd jump into the shower, and all her bad thoughts went away. After her shower she wrapped a towel around her and went into her bedroom. Her bedroom was a typical teenage bedroom. She had a flowery bed cover with a bedside table with a lamp, a desk and JT and Britney Spears posters on her wall. She put her pink heart pj's on and tied her hair into pig tails and turned the radio on and one of her favorite Britney songs came on and she jumped on her bed and started dancing and singing. A few hours later she decided to go to bed. She kissed her mom and dad night and went into bed. She thought of how she felt when Mark touched her the other day and wondered if it meant anything. She decided it didn't and fell asleep.
