Dark Horse

Chapter 3

My phone rang as soon as i enter my bedroom. I throw myself onto the bed and and reach for my phone at the bed side table. It's Alana.

"Hello", i start.

"Jenny. Are you free tomorrow?"

"Not sure, i have to do some research for our new project."

"It's saturday you geek. You can do it on Sunday", she laughed.

"Well bimbo, what's your plan?"

"We're going to the disco tomorrow and you will come with us."

"No way, i'd rather do my research. You guys go ahead", i don't like to dance. I just don't like it.

"No you're coming with us. Come on it's gonna be fun, just hang out for one night before the real pressure of school breaks", she said. She's right too.

"Alright...but i have to be back before midnight."

"Yes Cinderella. See you tomorrow night! Goodnight"

"Idiot. Goodnight!", i laughed and hung up. I take a glance at my clock. It's 10p.m. I have to wake up early for my morning jog with dad.

"Morning mom, morning dad", i say as i walk through our house door.

"Morning! You're just in time for breakfast", mom smiled.

"You went for a jog?", dad asked.

"Yes daddy"

"Why didnt you wait for me? Oh right...i woke up late", he sighed.

"Yeah sleepyhead. You're supposed to jog with me but i had to jog alone", i teased and pouts his lips. My dad is the cutest person ever.

"Well i'm going out with Alana and Zack tonight", i say before drinking my orange juice.

"Where to?", mom asked.

"Disco", i scrunch my nose and dad looks amused.

"Really? You better not drink any funny drinks", his tone sounds different.

"You know i don't drink and i never will dad. So don't worry." 

"Be home before 12", he says as he takes a bite from his egg sandwich.

Today has been such a productive day though. All i did was watch the tv with mom, played some Xbox games with her and baked some cranberry muffins too. Except for studying, that's something productive that i didn't do today.

The sun goes down and night rolls in. I've got my not-so-bright red dress on and applied a minimal amount of makeup because i don't really know how to doll up. I've got some eyeliner and mascara on and some reddish lip balm on my lips to make it not look dull. I decided to wear my block heels tonight because it fits with my outfit. I rarely wear high heels, they make my legs numb but this one isn't so tall. It's a short heels so it wont hurt as much.

"I'm leaving mom!", i shout from the front door. Mom rushed out of her bedroom and run to where i am.

"Come back fast okay? I dont like staying alone", she frowns.

"I will mom", i hug her.

I spot Alana's car when i walked out of my apartment building. She's signalling me to walk faster. Why is she rushing though? It's just 10p.m.

"Get in quick!", she says when i reach her car door.

"What's the rush?"

"Zack's been waiting for us for like an hour"

"Why is he there so early?"

"I dont know, guess he's too excited to flirt with the girls there", she said and we both laugh.
