Good Enough

Chapter 9- Charming? I think not.

I stretch my arms out, and let out a yawn, as I awaken from my sleep.I check the time on my alarm clock, to see that is is nearly midday. Ah. Don't you just love the weekends. Deciding that I didn't want to spend my whole Saturday sleeping, I get up from my bed, and Walk towards my wardrobe. I was feeling extra girly today. So I picked out a plain white crop top, With a black high waisted skirt, and my favourite black bag. I grab my clothes, and make my way to the bathroom.

As usual, I do my morning routine. I brush my teeth, and shower, before getting dressed, and going to my dressing table. I contemplate what I want to do with my hair, and finally decide to put it into a French plait. Once I am done, I put all the daily necessities, my phone, earphones and chap stick, into my bag. I then go downstairs.

I couldn't wait, I was going out with Brody today. We were going out to see a movie, and then we were going to stop by at McDonalds,to grab a bite to eat.

Once I had my breakfast, I went to the living room, and sat down onto the couch beside my mom.

"Good Morning sweetheart," she greets.

"Morning Mom," I reply happily.

"You're a lot happier than usual this morning, any particular reason?,"she questions me.

"No, can't I be happy for no reason?" I reply cheekily.

"Well, you can," she begins, "But it's very unlikely. So tell me, what has gotten my daughter so happy today?," she persists.

"Nothing mom, it's just, Brody and I are hanging out today. I've never had a real friend before, so I'm really excited," I tell her joyfully.

"Ah, I see. Well, have fun then. But sweetie, make sure to be careful. With all these murders going on, I shouldn't even be letting you go," she says, worriedly.

"Mom, I'll be fine. The police are getting closer and closer to this person, I'm sure they'll be caught soon anyway. You don't need to worry about me," I reassure her.

"Pinky Promise." I laugh at my moms childishness. I lift up my hand, and wrap my pinky finger around hers.

"Pinky Promise," I tell her. I then pull my mother into a tight hug to assure her further.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

The sound of a car horn causes me to pull away from her.

"That's Brody, I have to get going Mom, bye," I tell her as I stand up.

"Bye Baby, have fun, but stay safe," she tells me, a little relaxed now. I give her a quick kiss on the cheek, before sprinting out of my front door, and over to Brody's car.

"Hey." I greet, once I am seated in the passenger seat of Brody's car.

"Hey Beautiful," he replies calmly. My cheeks start to turn a deep shade of pink, and I look away so that Brody doesn't notice. He chuckles deeply beside me.

"I can still see you blushing, you know," he states, with humour laced in his tone.

"Ugh, shut up and drive Brody," I whine playfully. Brody shakes his head, clearly amused.

Glad to see my embarrassment amuses him.

He then starts the car, and begins to drive towards our destination.

"Seriously?" I ask Brody, annoyed.

"Yes, seriously," he answers with a smug smile on his face." We had arrived at the movie theatre, and Brody had finally told me what we were going to watch.
