Making Friends

The next day Erin woke up to the sound of her dad arguing on the phone. She tried to ignore it and sleep again, but she couldn't get back into her dream.

So she got up and went to the bathroom. Dad saw her and said "Sorry Erin dear. Did I wake you?"

Erin just nodded at him.

Erin thought about Daniel as she brushed her hair. She had returned the bracelet yesterday and so officially ended their relationship.

She considered deleting his number from her phone but could never get around to doing it.

...

Fay was having a party tonight at six, so Erin used the day to finish some of her assignments.

Erin's dad was sitting in the living room watching a drama series.

"Come join me dear." he offered.

"Thanks, but I think I will go for a jog." Erin replied.

"You have been jogging a lot recently," dad commented, "Not trying to lose weight, I hope!"

Erin laughed, "No dad, I just like the fresh air."
