As she walks through

Chatterbox: Inkwell

As she walks through

As she walks through the streets the lush trees are singing a sweet song.  She smiled. Summer was almost here, and then she could get out of her horrid school.  Everyday she kept mark of how many days were left until she could a escape.  Starting tomorrow, she had 43 till summer.

Everybody always stared at her, but that didn't matter.  She didn't know why, and she didn't care.  Each morning, she got up and sang a little song to get her cheery.  Each morning a bird came and sang with her.  Nobody in her family paid much attention anyway . . .

Tina washed her face and hands and got ready for dinner.  She had made herself fried chicken with eggs.  Nobody really came home for dinner, unless her big brother dropped by with his new wife, and that was a very rare moment.

The doorbell rang just as she finished cleaning up her mess.  Now who could that be? she thought.  Nobody ever visits me!

When she swung open the door, she gasped in surprise as her visitor walked in and adressed her.  "Hello, Tina."
