Lost With Little Hope: Chapter One

OCTOBER 30, 2015

"Dad?" Jaden Brin called out, as she entered her three story house.

She just came back from a long day of Eastridge Prep, an advanced private school.

Jaden waited two minutes and called out again. Jaden climbed up the flight of stairs and took a sharp right, heading to her dad's room.

"Dad?" As she was getting closer to her dad's room.

She walked into his room, as it was surprisingly open.

"BOO!" Mr. Brin yelled jumping out from behind the door.

Jaden clutched her stomach, her dad really scared her.

"Dad that's not funny, it's not even Halloween yet!"

"Ha! You were so scared!" Jaden's dad, Sergey Brin laughed, while taking off his Frankenstein Mask and tossing is in the delivery box it came in.

Jaden walked away, clearly not happy that her dad scared her. She then climed up the double sided glass stairwell. She arrived at her room. She plopped pink heavy bag on her brown wooden desk. Then took a seat in her spinning chair to start her homework .

"Jaden, dinners ready!" Mr. Brin said from the intercom.

The red light lighted was lit up by the initials 'K.T', for kitchen on the intercom .

Jaden pressed the 'K.T' botton to reply. "Ok, be down in a second dad."

Jaden took her hot pink iPod 5g from her speakers and put it in her pocket, along with her hot pink earphones. She then put her baby blue iPhone 6 in her left pocket, along with her baby blue earphones.

If you hadn't noticed Jaden likes to be color coordinated, she considers it as a hobbie. Stacey, Jaden's bestfriend was amazed and now weirded out by Jaden when Stacey first saw Jaden's room. Jaden laughed remembering the memeory.

"Wow! I thought I was organised! Look at your bed, and your dresser, you have everything so color coded, I'm scared to see your closet!" Stacey exclaimed when they entered the room.

"I just hate being rushed in the morning for school. For example last week I woke up late, and I had a math exam 2nd Period and I needed my math books, so instead of wasting time looking at all the covers I color coded them with book covers. Red is for my math books, green is for my science books, purple is for my English books, you get the process."

"Yeah, I get that you're an neat freak!" Stacey exclaimed.

- "Jaden get down here, I called you ten minutes ago," Mr. Brin said from the intercom.

Jaden hadn't realized that she was up there for that long, so instead of replying she rushed downstairs.

"Sorry dad, I was.. " Jaden trailed off.

"It's ok but, what's up with you Jay?" Mr. Brin questioned using Jaden's nickname.

"I'm sorry, dad. I don't know... I guess it's because I'm tired from studying, homework, and I have an important test tomorrow." Jaden said, but it wasn't the truth at all.

Jaden was stressed but, she didn't want to admit it. Jaden's mom left her when she was nine, it was all to hard on Jaden. She didn't have a clue why she left, one day she came home from school while her dad was at work, and her mom, Anne Wojcicki was packing her bags.

Jaden was the closest to her mom, unfortunately. With her mom being gone, Jaden didn't, and still doesn't have anyone to talk to. Jaden considered going to her dad a few times but that would be too weird.
