A woman is meant to smile, clean the house, be dumb, obey a man, always be quiet until spoken to, and to never fall from society. Woman were simply placed on the earth to take care of the house, and children. There is no need for a woman to go further than high school. The world Susan lived in was fake. Every house looked the same, everyone's parents were still together. Because, it was considered strange for a woman to be divorced. That woman could even be shunned for being a little different. The world was just a messed up place, even after the war had ended in 1945. Thus began the cold war, and the hunt for communists.
Susan, heard her father speak about how everyone who was different was a communist. She found all of it to be rather stupid, and annoying. But, she was not supposed to speak. Just stand there with a fake smile, and look pretty.
At this moment And time, the eighteen year-old girl was standing by the staircase listening to her sister Beth, and her friend Sharron. "Oh, my god! Did you hear about Mr.Peterson's son? He is a queer. No wonder they threw him out. Poor kid went to an asylum." Susan felt her eyes roll at Beth's stupidity. But, walked down the stairs anyways to join the gossip session. "Hey Suzie! You look rather bored. Join us!" Beth giggles.
Susan does not object since she really had nothing better to do. That, and if she was caught reading. Her parents would flip out. So, Susan took a seat next to Beth. And, then gave a small smile. She looked way underdressed to be with her sister. Her sister, and her sisters friend had on matching pink sweaters, and matching poodle skirts. While, Susan had on a plan pink sweater and trousers. "Suzie, why are you wearing trousers? Father will flip if He sees you like that. God, if only you looked like me. Like a young Marilyn Monroe, then you'd be able to pull off cuter clothes." Beth says, causing the girl to flinch. "Well, I figured that since I'm not going anywhere, or that anyone is coming to visit. That I'm fine. " I say. Causing Beth, and Sharron to giggle, and roll their eyes at the same time. "Well, anyways...I heard that Mr.Saxton got arrested for stealing a pair of ladies knickers." Sharron says, with a giggle. Causing, Susan to actually chuckle. "Always knew there was something wrong with that man. He gave me the heebie Jeebies." I say, as the other two girls giggle. "Oh Susan, go change. Mother will be bringing grandmother. She would have a cow, if she saw you in trousers." Susan, pouts and gets up. "Why must women be treated like cattle, rather than human beings? It's not fair. " Susan, whispers under her breath. Before standing up from where her and her sisters snooty were seated. She then walks back to her room. Susan, enters her room. Chuckling at the science books scattered all over the floor, and the romance books placed on her dresser. She had the opposite of the way a girl's room should look. She makes her way to the windows, and draws the drapes. Her eyes lingered to the neighbor's yard. She felt her heart stop when she saw a beautiful girl. Her hair was short, and blonde that curled around her face. She had an hour glass shaped body, full lips painted the colour red, get blonde hair curled around her face, and her clothes seemed expensive. The black pencil skirt, and the white button up shirt. This girl had, the ture looks of Marilyn Monroe. This girl was far more beautiful than Audrey Hepburn. She looked so beautiful. Susan, had never felt more smitten in her life. This was bad, really bad..If anyone found out Susan liked woman more than men. She would be locked up for sure. Damn it, new neighbor. What have you done to me?
A/N:Yay book set in Louisiana in the 1950's. Warning there will be a lot of racist, homophobic comments, Racist slurs such as the word nigger, remember that this is a historical ficton book. Meaning that the characters are not real, but the events in time are real. So, that means Segregation, The Brown vs Board of Education, and even the cival rights act. Now, I plan on making this book as accurate as I can. Right now our little Susan is the young age of 16. So, this book will go into her adult hood. So time skips will happen. I'll provide the Day, and year that the time skip starts on.
Lots of love,
Rose
