The Little Levine

Chapter 1: Living this crazy life (continued)

After dinner I went up to my room and listened to some of my dad's music on my iPhone. I do this to get my mind off of things. Or at least try to. I was listening to "Hands All Over" when my mom came into my room. "Honey, your dad called. Apparently,it only took an hour for your dad to interview with Ellen and do something else. He's coming home. He'll be here in about 15 minutes. Ok?" I was so happy to actually see my dad for once. "Ok." About 15 minutes later, my dad arrived. "Hi, dad! How was the interview?" "Very fun, honey. Why don't you head upstairs and I'll tag along with you?" "Ok,dad." I sped upstairs and dove into my bed. About a minute later, my dad came in. "How was school, Annabel?" "Um, ok." "What happened?" "Humiliation." "That's what I hated about the teenage years. So what really happened?" "Umm...." I didn't know how to tell my dad this. So I just pictured a flashback, and told my dad.

Annabel's humiliation

---------------------------

"Hi, Annabel." The cutest boy in the whole 10th grade was talking to me. "H-hi, Jackson." Right at that moment my enemy, Lilian, and the other CCPs came up to me. "Hi, Annabel." "Shut up and go away, Lilian." "Excuse me?!" I started to feel that humiliation coming on. "Hey, everyone. Who in this whole hallway thinks Annabel Levine is a dork in shorts??" Everyone in the hallway [except for the teachers] said "I do!" I turned bright red. "N-no. That's not true. Um, I'm not a dork, I'm a cheerleader!" Everyone in the hallway [except for the teachers] laughed. I wanted to burst into tears right there, but I couldn't humiliate myself more. "Uh-" Lilian cackled like an evil witch. "Serves you right." I cried all the way home then blinked back the tears when I saw my dad getting ready to leave to be on TV.

"So, honey. What you're telling me is that you hid your sadness from your mom and I?" "Y-yes." "I hated all the mean kids especially the sn-" "The snobby ones?" "Yes." "So, crazy day, huh?" "Yes honey, it was. Traffic and those damn idiots being slower than they should be on the road." "Now you know how mom feels!" We laughed together. "Ok honey. Go to bed. Have a better day at school tomorrow." "I'll try. G'night dad." "Night, sweetie." My dad walked out of my room, closed the door, and turned off the lights. I hope he's right.

I hope everyone liked that chapter! So, what do you think is going to happen? Will Annabel get humiliated again, or no? We'll find out. Sorry this chapter is short. I couldn't think of anything else to fit in. So, I hope you enjoy!
