Chapter One - Predictable
The two brunettes were happily eating their pancakes, three minutes after Summer had left the room, the amount of time needed to brush your teeth properly, and watching cartoons from the dining table.
Jodie had her head turned towards the TV while still cutting up pieces of pancakes heavily doused in syrup and eating. Summer shook her head disapprovingly as she saw the other girl's face become dirty.
"Jodie." The sound of Summer's voice made Jodie's gaze on the TV lessen, she tilted her head at Summer, wondering what the girl wanted.
"Hm?" Summer lifted her hand from her fork and pointed in the general direction of Jodie's face.
"You have syrup on your face." Jodie shrugged as she brought her attention back to the little animated figures attacking each other on the screen. "Wipe it away." She sighed as she picked up a napkin and began blindly wiping her face.
After a minute, Jodie threw the napkin on the table and continued watching the cartoon.
"You are so impotent." Jodie's head jerked towards Summer's.
"I AM NOT! AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE ONE!" She rolled her eyes at Jodie's naïve comment before getting out of her seat.
"Gosh, Jode, you're so predictable. Get your mind out of the gutter. It can be used more than one way. And the way I used it, was that I meant you're too weak or disabled to do anything." Jodie looked up and put a finger to her chin, as if she were thinking really hard.
"Huh, guess I do learn something new every day. And, hey! I could soo take you." She raised a fist up threateningly while Summer looked at her watch.
"Right. But, hey, I'm gonna be late. Think you can clean up by yourself, or are you too impotent?" Jodie stuck her tongue out at Summer before picking up her napkin and wiping off the syrup on her face from earlier.
"But, yea, I can clean up. Drive safely." She began tidying the messy table by stacking up the dirty plates, and then stopped to watch Summer grab her backpack and head for the front door.
"Don't I always?" Jodie opened her mouth to talk, but closed it when she saw the menacing glare that Summer was sending her. Summer then smiled and waved as she opened the door, exited, and closed the door.
"Three…Two…One…" The door reopened and Jodie could see an arm reach for the purse that was sitting on a little table near the door. Jodie smiled at Summer's actions and went back to cleaning the table. "Five…Four…Three…Two…One…" She reached for the phone on the kitchen counter as it began to ring and answered it.
"Don't worry, I won't forget." Jodie could hear Summer stop from what she was going to say and say something else.
"Kay, bye! Have a great day!" She could imagine Summer waving and smiling to no one in particular as she said farewell to her which caused her to smile.
"You, too." Jodie laughed to herself as she put the phone back in it's holder. "And she calls me predictable…" She then stretched her arms and yawned before going back to cleaning.
