A Day In The Life Of Jenn
by Melody
Jenn's grandmother woke her up early. "Jennifer, get out of bed. I need you in the yard."
Jenn rolled over and looked at the clock. "Grams, it's only seven thirty. Can't I meet you out there?"
"I refuse to let you sleep late whenever you want. I don't know how your mother handled things, but this is my way. Now get up. I'll see you in fifteen minutes."
"Fine." Jenn rolled out of bed and stumbled to the bathroom. "This is way too early." She started the water for her shower. "Jennifer, don't bother with a shower. You'll be dirty enough when we're through."
"You've got to be kidding me."
"What was that? I couldn't hear you."
"Nothing. Fine, I'll take a shower later." Jenn stumbled back into her room and threw some clothes on. She stormed down the stairs and made herself a cup of coffee, avoiding the stares of her grandmother. "Can I at least have this first?"
"Coffee is for adults. No matter how much you believe you are one, you shouldn't be drinking coffee."
"You know what? Today's the day I play grownup, hows that. I promise to help you if you promise to leave me alone."
"I will wait for you outside." Her grandmother walked out the backdoor.
Jenn finished drinking her coffee and joined her grandmother. "So what are we doing today, digging to hell?"
"Jennifer! You watch that tongue of yours. Now get down here and help me plant these."
Jenn did as told. For the next two hours they spoke of nothing but worked. To Jenn's relief, the phone rang. "Don't get up grams, I'll get it."
"I'm sure you will."
Jenn ignored her and ran inside. "Hello?"
"Jenn, it's Dawson."
"Hey Dawson, what's up."
"What are you doing tonight?"
"Not really sure. Grams has got me gardening since this morning. I'm sure I'll be tired. Why?"
"I asked Joey to come over but she's having a rough day too. Wanted to see if you wanted to do anything?"
"I'm not sure Dawson. Let me call you back in a minute, okay?"
"Great, talk to you in a minute."
Jenn hung up the phone. Then she picked it up again and dialed. "Joey, hey it's Jenn."
"Hi Jenn. I'm kind of busy."
"I just wanted to see if you were going over to Dawson's tonight."
"Why, are you?"
"He called before. But I don't want to interupt anything if you're going over there."
"At this point Jenn I think I'll be doing Biology for a week. I'll call you if I decide."
"Okay." She pressed down the hook and dialed Dawson. "Hey Dawson. I'll probably stop by later, okay?"
"Sure Jenn, that would be great. See you then." He hung up.
Jenn hung up and went back outside. "Do you need me tonight for anything?"
"Why, who was that? The Leery boy?"
"His name is Dawson Grams, and yes it was him. So do you need me?"
"Well, if you finish the dishes, clean that room of yours, and do the food shopping, I suppose you can go."
Jenn sighed. "Always a catch with you huh?"
"Don't use that tone with me missy, or you will go nowhere but back to New York."
"Fine, whatever. I'll do what you ask."
