Chapter 2: Unpacking
My dad had registered for me to begin my junior year earlier in the week when we had arrived. And, since it was still summer, I got to start with the rest of the kids, on the first day of school.
Charlie was hired by the city mayor for the open Chief of Police position; the previous one had retired a month ago. With the title, we found out he got his own take-home cruiser; which meant that I got the truck to drive, something Charlie wasn't to set on. I subtly reminded him that although I looked like a seventeen year old child, I was in fact thirty-three, soon to be thirty-four, year old.
"Ready for school, tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I guess, I mean, how many times am I going to start the eleventh grade?" Shrugging my shoulders, I was currently getting my backpack ready with just a few pens, pencils and notebooks. We weren't in town for open-house, so I would get the materials list from each teacher tomorrow.
"Yeah, you're on what, your fifth-eleventh grade class. I don't know why you'd ask such a question." Charlie, the comedian, smirked, while throwing a pillow at my head.
Charlie, taking advantage of his newly attained human-ism, was watching the Mariners on the television and drinking a beer.
Setting my backpack by the front door, I went into our laundry room and was sorting through my clothes deciding on what I was going to wear for the first day of school. Sometimes, I couldn't help but act like your typical teenager.
Once I got my clothes in line, I ran up the stairs and placed them on my new dresser from IKEA.
I came back downstairs and watched the rest of the game with my dad and ended up dozing off for a few hours, only to be shaken awake by him the next morning. Although I don't have to sleep, sometimes I love the refreshed feeling I have when I first wake up after a few good hours of sleep.
I made us breakfast, another meal I am not entirely sure that Charlie even tasted before swallowing whole.
"Alright, it's time for me to leave. I don't want to be late on the first day and make a bad impression. Right?" I washed the dishes and headed for the front door.
"I'll walk you out." He patted me on the shoulder.
Opening the front door, I grabbed my backpack that was resting on the floor and the keys that were in the wicker basket and headed to the truck, with Charlie following behind me. As we both walked off the front porch, we looked up in time to see a silver Volvo and a red Mercedes zoom down the street headed in the same direction as the school.
"I wonder if those kids know I am the new Police Chief?" Charlie asked.
"Probably, we're new to town, but maybe that shiny new cruiser right there let them know." I placed my purse and bag on the seat and hopped up into the cab.
"Anyway, be careful. I love ya, kid. Have a good day, and call if you need anything. I should be home by the time you get out of school; I'm going to head to the station for a few hours. I'm going to meet my deputies and maybe organize a few things. " My dad said, shutting the truck door.
I rolled the window down, leaned out and kissed his cheek.
"Alright, love you, daddy." I smiled as I backed out of the driveway.
