&&on with the story! :D
I woke up 6 hours later at 8 (guess that's what I get for not sleeping on the plane, huh?) when someone rang the doorbell. I sat up and looked in the mirror at my messy hair and rumpled clothes, and yawned. "Just a second!" I called out the window as I ran a brush through my hair and tried to smooth my tee-shirt and shorts. I ran down the stairs and slid across the hall to the front door, smoothed my hair one more time, and opened it. In the doorway stood a girl with dark skin and brunette hair. She grinned. "Hi," she said. She didn't come in; just stood there. Being half-asleep, everything was moving kind of fast for me. "Uhm, hi... you must be the babysitter I don't need, right? Sarah?" she looked confused and a little hurt. "Aren't you going to invite me in?" she asked sheepishly. I nodded. "Yeah, sure.. come in." I staggered to the living room, where I sat down on the couch and flipped on the TV.
"You must be Dimitri." she said, sitting down also.
"Yup,"
"How old are you?"
I turned to glare at her. "I'm sixteen," I snapped, "but apparently I can't be left home alone for more than an hour." She shrugged. "Okay, so I'm just gonna go, okay?" She got up to leave. Confused, I asked, "wait, what? What do you mean you're just gonna go?" She shrugged again. "Well, I'm only seventeen, and so I think you can be left alone. That is what you want, right?" I nodded. "Yeah. Thanks." She smiled. "'Kay, well.. bye." she said as she walked out the door. Inside, I jumped for joy. Finally, I was given the opportunity to do what I wanted, and someone was treating me like a young adult for a change. That's when I realized it was Saturday night, and I had nothing to do but stay home in my P.J.'s.
I slumped in my seat. I was going to be bored all night, since the computer and cable hadn't been hooked up yet, so all I could do was watch the same boring DVDs all night long. Well, hey, I thought, having a sudden realization. Since she was so okay with leaving, she must have plans, right? Like a high school party or something? I smiled to myself, grabbed a cute outfit out of my bag on the kitchen table, and stuffed them in my purse. I locked the door, and started out to follow Sarah.
Sarah wandered all over town, not stopping until she got to a house on a winding street. Colorful lights shone from the windows, and music pounded loudly. Bingo, I thought, smiling to myself. As Sarah went inside the house and was greeted by a pretty blond girl, I turned the corner and walked to a restaurant a block away to change into a white sequined tank top, black skinny jeans, and black heels. I also bothered to throw on a little lipstick with some sparkly eyeshadow and dark mascara. Then, I fixed my long red hair again and headed back to the party. Humming as my heels clicked on the sidewalk, I pulled on a sweatshirt to relieve myself of the cold, foggy air. Along the winding road to the brown house on the corner and past all the other houses clustered on the street I walked swiftly, excited for my first high school party in Whitechapel.
Suddenly, I felt sick. My insticts were willing me not to go in; to turn around and walk back home. I realized my insticts were right; I wasn't invited to this party. What would I say and do? No, it was better to meet people from my new school the easy way, at school. I walked back home in the darkness, ready for a night of P.J.'s and Maid in Manhatton.
Ta-da! :D Good, no? Either way, continue! :) it gets better, and no more teasers; I promise. xD
