Chapter 4
IT'S FRIDAY! OH MY GOD ITS FINALLY FRIDAY!!!!!
Thats all that's been rushing through my head since I woke up this morning.
Its finally friday!
I'm finally going to feel what if feels like to be an adult, to be free and to do what I want.
I rushed up faster than any other morning before. I brushed my hair, my teeth and then ran downstairs. I grabbed an apple and I was out the door.
Its still super early for me but the faster I start the day, the faster it will be over. I wish I didn't have to go to school but yet at the same time if I didn't have school nothing would keep me busy while I wait which would make it worse.
I got to school and I was the only one there out of my friend group. I spoke to some people that I occasionally say hi to and then behind me I heard a familiar voice.
"hi Jenny." I heard the voice of Bennie.
I tuned around and looked up at him.
"hey Bennie." I said with a small smile.
"how are you? Haven't seen you since orchestra practice." he asked holding onto his school bag.
"oh I'm ok, actually I'm more than ok."i said smiling thinking about michael.
" oh really what's the reason."he asked.
"I've met someone and we are going out tonight." I said looking down at the floor.
There was silence for a minute.
"oh really, that's great. Is he from school?" he asked me.
"actually he's done with school. But he loves everything I love. We have the same taste in music and in art,hes perfect." I said with a huge smile.
"oh that's lovely. I'm happy for you, really." he said smiling.
"thanks." I said.
Just then Bethany and Lilly came from around the corner and we greeted each other.
"well I'll see you around Jenny. Enjoy tonight." said Bennie.
"thanks Bennie I will." I said giving him a hug.
Bennie disappeared and it was just me and the girls left.
"so the big nights tonight!" said Bethany.
"you guys act like it's a prefromance or something." I said rolling my eyes.
"well it is your first date!" said Lilly.
"it's not a date, we aren't even a couple and plus he's friends are coming tonight too you know." I said to them.
"ah you may not be together right now but we'll see after tonight." said Bethany jokingly.
"come on we have to go it's almost time to start school." I said.
We got up and walked towards our first class which was English.
After school...
Finally school is done! I've never been more happy in my life! I ran home so fast that my shoe actually fell off. I got into the house and I ran right up stairs. I didn't see my mother and my dad was at work.
I closed my bedroom door, put on some music and got ready. I struggled to figure out which hairstyle to go with for at least 2 hours. In the end I decided to go with my hair down. I jumped up from behind the mirror and grabbed my makeup from the other side of the room.
I went with a more natural look, I don't like makeup and I don't want to over-do it. I put on some pink lip gloss and I was pleases.
I got up and pulled off my horrid Grey school clothes and put on my black dress. I loves how it proofed out and made me feel like a ballerina. I looked in the mirror one last time and I was so happy I couldn't stop smiling.
My dad came home early and I heard my mom downstairs too. I decided now is the time to let him know I would be going out.
I walked down the stairs and I saw my mother and father.
"hi" I said sheepishly.
"oh wow honey you look amazing!" my mother said.
She ran to me and hugged me tightly.
"where are you off to?" my dad asked.
"oh I'm going out to watch some classical music." I said.
"with who?" he asked concerned
"with Michael, the man who left me the flowers." I said.
(I was terrified at what he's reaction would be.)
"there's not a chnace! You hardly know the man!" my father said.
"and that's why he has invited me out so I can get to know him!" I said to my father.
Just before my father could reply there was a knock at the door.
"that must be him and please father, careful about what you say." I said to him before opening the door.
I walked up to the door and opened it up to see Michael standing with a hat in his hand.
"hi."i said as I felt my checks getting warmer.
" wow Jenny you look beautiful."he said.
" oh please come in."i said.
He walked through to the sitting room and met my pearents.
"hello I'm Michael." he said reaching out his hands to greet my pearents.
"hello Michael I'm David and this is my wife Susan." my father said shaking Michael's hand.
"I would love to sit down and chat but we have to be going. I was hoping that after the show we could go for some super with my aunt." he said to my father.
"oh no I can't, she has to be in bed by 10." my father said shaking his head.
"oh here we go" I thought
"well what if I promise to have her back at 11:30?" he asked.
There was a brief pause.
"well, you guys are traveling far, and it's Friday. Aright then." he said.
A huge smile grew across my face.
"alright see you later!" I said.
We rushed out the door and to Michael car. We got in and we were off to the show.
When we got there it was pouring down with rain. We ran up the stairs of the theater. Outside stood Michaels 2 friends.
"hey guys this is Jenny." Michael said to his friends.
"Jenny this is Danny and his girlfriend Rebecca." Michael said introducing us to one another.
We went inside, found our seats and watched the orchestra. It was magical but I looked over to Rebecca and she looked like she was about to pass out.
After the show we went to a little restaurant with live music. I walked in sat down and it felt like I was in Paris already. I closed my eyes and listened to the woman and the band playing jazz.
We were all sitting around the table and they were all smoking exept me.
"smoke?" Danny said offering me a cigarette.
"Bethany and Lilly do it, might as well try it." I thought before accepting one.
"ya I'll have one." I said with confidence.
Danny smiled and passed me a cigarette and lit it for me. I took one big breath in and coughed a bit but tried to hid it.
"so how old are you?" Rebecca asked me.
"oh I'm 17,soon to be 18 though." I said taking another puff from the cigarette.
"ah lovely, almost an adult." she replied.
"ya, almost." I said smiling.
I looked over to Michael and he flashed a smile back at me.
"so are we still on for that job on Friday?" Michael asked Danny.
"no unfortunately I can't, I'm going to an auction. I'm going to try to get my hands on this beauty of a painting." said Danny smiling at Rebecca.
"you like art?" I said excitingly.
"ya absolutely love it!" said Danny leaning forward.
"wow me too! I love the classics you know, the older the better."i replied.
The whole night was great! We spoke about art, French music, Paris... Danny said Michael could maybe take me there some day... Wow what a dream. Danny said I could come with to the auction next Friday morning but unfortunately I have school so I'll have to make a plan.
Michael drove me home later that night and I couldn't stop laughing at his jokes. I had stitches the rest of the ride.
We eventually got home.
"well thank you for the night, it was absolutely the best night I think I've ever had! Don't think I would ever experience something like that if I hadn't met you." I said to him.
"your very welcome, anytime for such a special girl like you." Michael said kissing the top of my hand.
"well... Bye." I said smiling
"bye Jenny." he replied and then let go of my hand.
I went into the house and saw my mother in the kitchen washing dishes at 20 to 12.
"hi mom, a bit late to be washing dishes isn't it?" I asked her.
"ya I'm just struggling with this one tough spot. Anyway how was tonight?" my mom asked.
"best night of my life." I replied.
