At Dinner (New School)

Trying to make sense of it all she quickly was brought back down to reality as she left school and was late for dinner.

Jenna got home, only to have her mom and grandmother ask her why she was so late getting home.

“I got asorbed in a conversation at school.”

Thinking to her self that she really was starting down a path of secrets.

She ran up stairs to change her clothes and get ready for dinner. She passed by the mirror wondering to her self if what he had said really had some truth to it.

She took off her glasses and pulled her hair up around her neck. She quickly realize that she could not see what he was seeing.

She let her hair down and put her glasses back on.

Dinner was the same and her grandmother like always wanted to know everything about her day.

Her mind kept drifting in and out of the conversation as she kept seeing his sleepy eyes looking at her from the car window.

Jenna Dad came in and sat down to dinner, when her dad told her about the trip they were going to…..

    I like that she examines herself in the mirror, wondering what he sees in her. It’s a very authentic response to an unexpected compliment. And, I’m also getting that “ugly duckling” feel.
