...Chapter 3...
...Who's A Happy Girl??...
When Alice got home and was in her room, she flung herself onto her bed and stared at her ceiling with a smile it's almost indescribable, she just lay there with her hands behind her head, thinking about him. She let out a sigh then said to herself
"I'm in love".
She got up after what would have seemed like hours just lying there, when she heard her parents Mercedes pull up in the driveway.
She skipped happily down the stairs and met her parents at the door cheerfully giving each of them a kiss on the cheek, and a brief hug.
"Hi Mom, Hi Dad!" she said in a gleeful tone.
"Well, well someone's very happy this afternoon" her dad said jokingly
"I'm always happy" she replied
"Not as happy as this" her mother said with a grin "what's happened to make you so cheerful
"Two words" Alice stated then continued with a sigh "new guy" then she looked at both her parents, grabbed an apple and headed back upstairs towards her room, to wait for the expected phone call.
