Happy 13th birthday, Jenny!
There’s a good chance that Jenny is the happiest girl this
year to officially be a teenager, while her parents would be among the most
reluctant – or worried – to have their little girl reach that milestone.
Rowen and I walked to school with Rebecca mostly so we could
give Jenny her birthday presents this morning.
She was having a boy-girl party tonight, but Rowen and I weren’t invited;
which was probably a good thing for all involved. We were still with Jenny when she met up with
Shane at school, and I got the feeling from Rebecca as we watched Jenny share a
happy birthday kiss with her boyfriend that she’d rather be doing something
else tonight too. Shane’s arrival gave
Rowen and me our cue to move along; and we returned to our normal place in the
order of the school universe.
It was another hot, summer-like day, and Rowen and I took
advantage of that after school. We got
our homework out of the way, and then grabbed our bikes and went for a long
ride before picking up drinks and treats at the Emporium and going to the park
to play until dinnertime. Rowen stayed
for a meal and Magi lesson before going home, and the rest of my night has
pretty much been a repeat of last night.
If I wrap this up now, I’ll be sleeping before midnight again too, so...
...say ‘goodnight, Cassie’.
“Goodnight, Cassie.”
