   Shadows: Sabrina Carpenter

"I've got a double major of Poly Psy and Bio Chem, Terrance." Quinn says as I head downstairs.

"I see you over-scheduling." Terrance replies.

"Sorry, I'm just getting water here." I enter the kitchen and grab a glass from the cabinet.

"Quinn, you're not yelling at me. You're yelling at the world."

"I'm not yelling at all. This is the natural register of my voice." Quinn inquires and I fill my glass with water, then setting it down.

"It's the register of a timid little girl." Terrance quips.

I look around for my notebook. "Hey, Quinn? I can't find my notebook. The black one with all my yellow notes in it." I continue to look for my notebook.

"Yeah, it's here." Quinn lifts my book off the coffee table.

I head over with my water. "Thank you." I take my notebook from her. "See you, Terrance." I turn and head back upstairs. I enter my room and close the door. I set my water and book down on the nightstand. I get into bed and pull the covers over me. I lay on my stomach and angle my arm under the pillow, then closing my eyes.

I slowly open my eyes and look around. I then look at the time on my alarm clock. I pull the covers off me and sit up. I rub my eyes and my face. I blink a few times and then grab a hair tie from my drawer. I put my hair in a ponytail and then tighten it. I chug down the water from my glass and finish it.

I grab my watch and put it on. I exit my room and head downstairs. I put the glass in the sink and then see the living empty. I rub more sleep out of my eyes and the doorbell rings. My phone then buzzes and I take it out my back pocket. I see the text from Jonas and I respond back. I. shove my phone back in my pocket and answer the door.

"Hey." Burt smiles, standing with Finn.

"Hey, Burt. How are you?" I hug him.

"I'm good. How are you? How's the crime fighting?"

"It's going. I gotta head down to Delaware. I have a new case." I turn and open the small cabinet in the kitchen, revealing the safe.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about." He heads over.

"What? You guys going to Delaware for Christmas?" I take out my holster and my gun.

He chuckles. "No, we're going to Zanesville, visiting Carole's sister."

"That's nice." I put my holster around my waist.

"How you doing? You talk to your mom and your grandfather?"
