Beginnings - Summer in Boston
Feb. 25th, 2021 07:13 pmDaria - Summer in Boston
Summer Lane arrived in Boston. She hadn’t been there before, and she wouldn’t have been there if her younger sister, Jane, hadn’t decided to go to college at Boston Fine Arts College. There were many other Arts schools in the country, including some that were both closer to Lawndale and to the place Summer had made home. “Now, which way to BFAC?” she wondered.

It was late at night, Daria Morgendorffer was late. It was the latest she had been out, in Lawndale or in Highland. She silently urged the driver to go faster. Eventually she arrived home. “Thanks,” she said as she emerged from the car. It then drove away. She checked her watch. Almost midnight. She tip-toed up to the front door. Or at least she tried to. Her sister, Quinn appeared to the side of the driveway. “Hold it, young lady,” she said.
“Funny, Quinn,” Daria responded.
“What are you doing out so late?”
“What are you doing out so late?”
“What do you mean? I'm always out this late,” Quinn answered.
Daria wasn't sure of the truth of that. “You want to tell me how to sneak in, don't you?” she asked. 'Of course she does.'
“Stop tip toeing around like a nerd! Gosh! Have a little dignity, Daria!”
Not wanting to wake their parents, Daria kept her voice low. “I have dignity, Quinn! I'm not going to let you try and teach me how to be cool.”
Quinn grumbled.
Then there was the sound of their father, Jake, saying from the parent's bedroom on that side of the house. “What's going on down there!”
Then their mother, Helen, saying. “More threatening.”
“Let me handle it. Darn it, what's going on down there!” Jake said.
“Jake, you sound like such a nerd!”
Turning her back on Quinn, Daria quickly unlocked the door...
She tried sneaking up the stairs but found her mother at the top. “And why are you out so late, Daria?”
“No comment.”
“You're not getting away that easily.”
'Of course not!'
