The joys of being alone

[Brenden Erickson]

For once, she was all alone and not with Holly and not with one of her older brother watching what she was doing over her shoulder. Mark usually wasn't around most of the time to watch her and usually he just let her do her own thing since he knew that she wouldn't get into any trouble. It was Jordan who watched her constantly whenever he was around. Of course he knew that it was because he wanted to make sure that she wasn't doing some of the things that she wasn't allowed to do. At the moment she was bored and decided to go on the computer since nobody else was around to say something. Her eyes spotted the AIM icon, she might as well see if anybody she knew was on.

How she had gotten that nickname she didn't know of course it probably had something to do with Jordan. Since everybody knew him, or at least that was how it seemed. Mark was usually off working and he didn't get back until ten o'clock some nights. Most of the time Jordan got back in the late afternoon, it made her wonder what Mark was really doing. But, for the time being she'd focus on the message she was about to send out.

She didn't know the person that had instant messaged her but that wasn't about to stop her. After all, perhaps she could get to know this person and they would have some common interest or something.

little_a: Hey there so I'm not the only one here then.
